THE NEW PENSION LAW.

We give below the principal features
OF the new pension law passed by the
recent Legislature, which is of much
interest to many of our readers. The
new law, including changes, is:
That widows of Confederate soldiers
who died or were killed in the war get
$40 annually. II their husbands died
since tie war then $25 annually, pro-
vided such widows have not married
again. Also all Confederate soldiers
who from infrmities ofage are disabled,
get pensions, if such debility is partial,
$15 annually; if total, $50 annually,
An increase of 100000 annually to
the pension appropriation was made to
meet the increase of pensions under the
new law, In the main the old law re-
mains unchanged as to pensioners al
ready on the STATE pension roll. The
new law, however, creates pension
board for each county and city, whose
duty it shall be to strike off from the
pension roll all whose names are un-
Justly or fraudulently placed thereon
