possibly of amendment, through your in
huence.
The general classification under the
law was discussed last year. There are
now 121 pensioners of the first class
311 pensioners of the second, 80 Of the
third and 2.234 of the fourth. 2.674 wild.
ows; the total number being $3.50. The
pension fund aggregated for the last
distribution was $4,000, and the av-
erage amount disbursed, as follows
First class, 1854; second class, $4S;
third class, $50: fourth class, SIG: each
annually, except the few of the higher
class.
The propriety of some amendments to
the law may be considered in the light
of these facts.
The records show that certain counties
have more names upon the pension list
than others which sent five times the
number of troops to the field or even a
greater excess. This arises most prob
ably from a failure of the pension board
of the county to perform its duty with
requisite care.

Ii may also be affirmed as general

his county board as a pensioner should
not be allowed to obtain the same by
a special act The whole practice of
passing special pension acts by the Gen

should be swept away and all pensions

REVISION OF PENSION LISTS.
The kindred subject of the better pro-
vision in our system of pensions for dis
abled veterans and for the widows of
Confederate soldiers naturally claims
attention. In the present workings of
the pension law of our State and more
especially in the interference with the
established system by special acts of the
General Assembly, there are points wor-
thy of your careful consideration, and
