SENATOR MASDERsoN on A PENSION yETo-PRo-
CEEpINGs IN THE HOUSE.
Washington Feb. 24-In tho Senate to-day Mr.
CULLOM offered a resolution, (Which was adoptcd
requesting the President to Inform the Senate whether
the French Government has prohibited the tmporta
ton Into France of American hog products; what
steps az any have been taken by the Government OF
the United States to procure the resembling OF such
prohibition whether any correspondence between the
two Governments had taken place prior to the Pres
dents message Of January IL last, recommending &C
ccptance of the invitation Of tho French Government
to particpa In the International Exposition In Paris
1850 and, II So the subject Of such correspondence
Mr. BECK suggested that the resolution be extended
to refer to Germany and Portugai-which had aso
prohibited certain American products: but Mr. Gull
LON preferred to con6ne to France.
Mr.. CoLLUM aferward said his object was to
defeat the proposition to participate in the Fronch
Exposition.
On motion OF Mr.. RDMUNDS, the Senate bill to in
corporate the Maritime Canal Company, Of Nicaragua,
was taken from tho calendar for consideration
After brief debate the subject the unfinished
business taken up, being the bill granting pen
sons to exsodIers and sailors who Dcapacitated
from the performance Of manual labor, and providing
for pensions to dependent relatives of deceased soldiers
and sailors. Mr.. MANDERsON addressed the Senate
In advocacy OF tho bill. He gave tho history OF the
bill that passed In the last Congress and was vetoed
By tho President. He spoke OF tho veto do
stroyng vcto,' and as being "couched in words of
condemnation and much verboslty." There had been
no question Of Constitutional ri ut involved In tho
vetoed bill 1t had involved simply the question Of
IdOm and experience. Ho expressed his belief
that tho majority OF tho ex-solders of tho Union
thought that the time had not yet como for sorvi;e
pension law. They simply demanded that their dis
ablcd and enfeeblcd comrades should be taken nom
panrer homes and almshouses and should be fur
nlshcd with pensions, and they had high authority
for such demand II not in the action of President
In his veto message that tho bill put further premium
on dishonesty and mendacty, and that there was a
wdes prcad disregard OF truth and good faith In the
matter OF procuring PENSIONS, he said: go
"On behalf OF the ex-sOldiers OF the Republic, l
deny IT, Tho charge Ia basely crnelly lihelo"s and
is so gross In its conception that 1t does not need

He quoted Mr. Cleveands Endorsement in 1884 OF

time there election pending.
Mr.. TURPIE made an eloquent appeal In favor OF
