BUTLER'S PENSION AMENDMENT.
Petitions on Both Sides of the Question
What the Senator Says.

Petitions on Both Sides of the Question
What the Senator Says.
WAsHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Special -
Several petitions were presented In
the Senate to-day against the passage
OF Buffers amendments to pension
Confederate soldiers. Among them
were Vicksburg Camp, No. 80, which
considered the idea as humiliating;
Sidney Johnston Camp of Batesville,
Ark, which states that it asks no spe-
cial iavOrs of the government; Jas. r.
Herbert Camp of Baltimore, says it ID
opposed to any action by Congress
that may lead to pensiOning COnfed-
crate soldiers.
Senate Butler presented petitions
signed by So Confederate veterans of
Columbus, Ca, asking him not to aban-
don his intention to offer his amend
meDt to pension Confederate veterans.
They say at was war between the
States and not q rebellion" and they
are entitled to all privileges as other
citizens of the country. Senator Butler
said to the Post correspondent that he
has received numerous letters from
North Carolina and other Southern
States favOring his amendment; that
he believes the rank and file of Con
federate veterans favor it. He desires,
he says, to ascertain the temper OF
Confederate veterans on the subject
and will be guided III his future course
on the subject by what he deems to be
the opinion of Confederate veteran q
after they have had an opportunity to
be heard.-MOrning Post.

SAYS Hut Little.

The Biblical Recorder says: "The
General Assembly is decidedly settled
TO it's work, and SO far each day has
seen every bill in reach disposed of be-
fore adjournment. OF course ali bills
OF general consequence have been re-
ferred to committees, and are being
considered, digested and revised by
them. 1t is likely that the penitentia-
~ aud the Railroad Commission will
come up in a few days for considera-
tion; work is being done on the cleo
ton law; the fees of the Secretary of
State will be reduced; the members are
all at SEES on the free school question,
many having made unwise pledges to
their people. Very little is being said
on the liquor question. The truth is
all radical measures will be eschewed,
because of the general desire to hold
the people together for the purpose of
Con stitutional amendment. That
done, there will be more liberty"
