VIEW FROM TIE INSIDE.

The editor OF TIE CAUCASIAN has
just received letter from p gentle
man who attended the meeting of the
Nashville conference committee at ST.
Louis, on January 12th. While the
letter was evidently not written for
publication, yet we take the liberty
of using some facts and statements
which it contains.
Our readers will remember that il
was given out by the ring leaders OF
that meeting that it was large and
representative gathering, and that
seventy members of the national COM
mittee were present either in person
:. by proxy, and endorsed the action
of this rebellious faction.
The letter before us states that there
were just forty persons by actual
count present at that meeting, and
that only five Of this number were
members of the National Committee.
and not all of these favored the ac-
tion taken. This shows what misers-
BILE farce and fake the whole business
Is. We have no reason to doubt til,
correctness of the statements made in
the letter referred to; but if any per.
son who was present at that meeting
questions the facts given above will W.
call upon the author of the letter t.
substantiate them.
Another letter received describes ar
interesting, not to say significant lit
tie episode that occurred in the lobby
of the hotel during the SO called m .et-
ing.
We quote the following from the
letter referred to giving the incident
rs described by an eye witness.
"Quite 3 crowd had gathered in the
lobby of the Lsclede hotel during the
conference and those present were
discussing the situation. Robert Schil.

sued an order changing the color ?

In about two weeks he will follow
this by another order changing the

This action is in accord with the res

their equivalents. No change will

In 1876 the General Assembly en-
acted a law providing for the pay
ment of $50 per annum to such
Confederate soldiers as had lost
their sight, or both hands, or both
feet, while engaged In the service Of
the Cunfederacy, also providing
Communication in a limited way for
lost limbs. This act remained in
force FOR four years, during which
time an aggregate Of 5000 was paid
out. The average annual expendi-
turc was 81 800, paid TO an average
Of twenty-five soldiers, who re-
ceived $50 each per annum.
In 1883 the act referred to above
was amended SO as TO make the
annual appropriation to each totally
disabled soldier Sl20 per annum.
For the fifteen years Gncluding
1850 during which this act has
been in force, there has been paid
out under its provisions, an aggre-
gate sum Of $4,000. The annual
average expenditure has ceen 81
200, paid to an annual average OF
thirty-five soldiers, who received
$l2U each per annum. In addition
TO this the amount paid out for
communication OF lost limbs under
the above named acts aggregates
1929.
In 1855 the General Assembly
passed an act appropriating a sum
| not exceeding $4,000 as a pension
fund to be paid to soldiers who We're
wounded or disabled while in the
Confederate service, and to the
widows of soldiers. This act re-
manned in force five years, during
which time the aggregate sum Of
SliJ,3O3.46 was disbursed for pen
| 5iOnS. The average annual disburse-
| mcnt was $29, S6O.G9, distributed
among an annual average Of 3,O33
pensioners. The average amount
received by each pensiOner was
1881 per annum.
| In 1889 the existing pension law
was repealed, and one substituted
levying a special tax Oil general and
personal property for the purpose of
creating a larger pension fund.
This law provided for the classifi-
cation of pensioners as follows:
First Class: Such as received a
wound rendering them totally in
competent to perform manual
labor.
Second Glass: Such as lost leg
above the knee, or an arm above the
elbow.
Third Class: Such as lost limb
below the knee or below the elbow.
Fourth Glass Such as lost one
eye or were otherwise disabled.
Provision was made by this act
for pensioning widows Of Confed-
crate soldiers who died in conse-
quence of wounds received while
in Confederate service, or in conse-
quence of disease contracted while
in said service. Widows are rated
as fourth-class pensioners. The pur-
pose OF the act was to pay the fol-
lowing rate Of pensions:
