The Hunter Pension Case.

WASHINGTON, July l3.-In the case
OF Mrs. Mar Hunter, widow of Gen.
Hunter, for whose rel ei ne House
passed g hill gran ing psn IN of $50
per month. which was vetoed by the
President, Chairman Mat:or, OF the
Invalid Pensions Committee, today
presented a rep2rt to the House in
which he sustains the veto. He says
tue effect OF the bill would be to give
the claimant $40 per month more than
the sum allowed by the general law !;
that il is no. alleged that the widow
needs sn increase, aud that ,hs com
miuee has barely tolerate d The increase
OF pensions of widows of of GERS. 1t
is also true that the claiman appli-
cation for the legal rats of pc sion has
been allowed by the Pension Office.
A minority report, signed b. the Re-
pub bican m-mbers Of the committee, e,
requests the passage of the bill over
the veto, holding that it has been the
invaria6le practice TO pension at $50
per month the widows OF officers OF
rank similar to that hsld by Gen.
Hunter; thst the President mas signed
a number ofsuch bills during the &c s.
sion, (a,ide from the case of Gen. Han
CT Ck's widow,) and that Thea is no
reason for making an exception in this
case.

eating Mr.. Goodies Cause.


WASHINGTON, July l3.-The trans
po tition companies comprising the
Southern Raj way and Steamship AS
sociation will hold THEN annual meet
ing he:e tomorrow. The East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, the
Louisville and Nashville, aud the
Memphis and Charlest1n IN roads will
be represented. The convention will
be the largest meeting OF railroad
msgnstes ever held here One very
important m ltt9r that will be taken
up by the convention wi be the set
tlement Of a disagreement between
the eou'heTn roads connecting with
the Chicago and Ohio river poo's. The
latter have cut their connections of
from sll special RATS On north bound
business and demand fall tariff This
was in retaliation for a similar act on
taken by the Southern roads on traffic
from Chicago, and especially that OF
the heavy meat shippers. A loss to
all parties concerned is caused by his
breach, ard it is very Likely the matter
will be amicsbly adjusted at this
meeting.
TIE TREASURY SURPLUS.
The session Of, The House today was
largely consumed by the debate on
the Morrison resolution to dispose Of
tie surplUs in the Treasury, The
leaders on both sides OF the House
participated in the discussion, and
Mr.. McMlllin delivered very able
speech in support of the measure,
which was listened to with marked
attention. Mr. McMillin stated that
the passage OF this resolution would
put in circulation at onte nearly
100000 600 now idle, with more to
, follow, would tend to lower the rate
of interest, would place money now
invested in bonds where it can be
taxed, a I'D would help bear the bur-
deps of the government. 1t would
raise the prce Of lands now idle and
tend strongly to the improvement Of
the times 1t is thought the discus
sion will last several days.

that he is IN a dilemma. not being able 10
decide which Of the two has won the

that their money has an attraction for
