 While the House was considering pension bills this evening MT. Gibson criticised sev. eral of the reports submitted by the Commit tee on Invalid Pensions and stated that he would raise the point of no quorum.
 MT. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, attacked the President for his veto messages on pension bills. In the whole history of the republic they were without parallel. This man had the temerity to sheer at the report of cong mittee of this House and put the seal of his sarcasm on the reports of a committee granting pension to the widow of some man slain in his country's service. What constitutional authority had the President for going to this length It was the fault of men endowed with brief authority to arro- gate knowledge that they did not possess He was no better than any other American citizen and he, by God, was not the equal of any man who gave his life and went out to save the Union.
 MT. Matson, of Indiana, said the President was fair and prompted by his conscience. All the gentleman has said in the way of abuse of the President was uncalled for. The President was an honest man and the people knew it. Though he (Matson) did not agree with the President on this question, the President was a courageous man and he honored him for it.
 Mir. Warner, of Ohio, defended the Presi- dents course, declaring his aim was only to keep off the pension roll men not entitled to go there.
 The discussion continued the Presidents action and the pension bureau under Commis- sioner Black coming in for criticism and de- fense and without transacting business the House at 10:45 adjourned.
