Mrs. JaCksOn's Pension

The Washington correspondent
the New York Herald, referring to
the application of Stonewall Jackson's
widow fora pension for her husbands
services in the Mexican war, saws:
81 called on Commissioner Raum
today and asked whether Mrs. Jack
sons application for pension would
be favorably considered. He replied:
Il have not taken it up yet, but I
can see no reason why it should not
be granted. Section 4,716, Revised
Statutes, says:-'No money on &C
count of pensions shall be granted to
any person, or to the widow, children
or heirs OF any deceased person, who
III any manner voluntarily engaged in
or aided, OF abetted the late rebellion
against the authority of the United
States. But section 5 of that Act
granting pensions to the soldiers and
sailors of the Mexican War, approved
january 20, 1887, says that section
47l6 OF the Revised Statutes is here
by repealed SO far as the same relates
to this Act Or to pensioners under
this Act This latter clause gives
Mrs. jackson n clear title to hea, pen
sion in my opinion"

is very certain that strenuous opposition

are reeOnciled. The indications are that
so far as New York city is concerned it
has been concluded to heed the demand for
revision and Rehabilitation. This is max
