of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
scmbled, That widows pensions here
tOfore granted, or hereafter To he
granted, shall not be less than 81
per month.
Sec. y. That the Secretary OF the In
terror is hereby directed TO place on the
pension roll, from and after the passage
of this Act, the names OF applicants not
already pcnsioned, and persons penSioned
below Sl2 per month. vino served in the
army and navy of the United States dur
ing the war of the rebellion, for at least
90 days, and were hOnOrably discharged
from each anI every enlistment in said
war, and the rate of pension shall be ST
per month 10 claimants 30 years Of age
and under - years OF age; IS dollars per
month to claimants % years Of age and
under go years of age; and 81 per month
to claimants 90 years of age and over:
Provided, That no pension shall be paid
to any such pcnsioner for the time ne IS
supported in a State or National Home,
but the pension so withheld may ut the
discretion Of the Pension Commissioner be
paid To the wife of such pensiOncr or 10
his minor children under 16 years of age
when in needy circumstances. Pensions
under the provisions of this Act shall be
gin from date of filing the application in
the Pension Department.
See. =. That no agent, attorney or other
person engaged in preparing, presenting
or prosecuting any claim under the pro-
visions Of this Act shall. directly or in
directly, contract for, demand, receive or
retain for service in preparing, presenting
or prosecuting such claim sum greater
than SO, which sum shall be payable only
upon the order of the Commissioner of
Pensions by the pension agent making
payment Of the pension allowed; and any
person who shall violate any of the pro-
visions of this section, or who shall wrong
fully withhold from pcnSiOAer or claim
ant the whole or any part of 4 pension
allowed or due such pcnsiOner or claim
ant under this -tct, shall be deemed guilty
of miSdemeanOr and upon conviction
thereof, for each and every such offense,
be fined not exceeding $500, or be impris-
oned ut hard labor not exceeding two
years, or both. in the discretion of the
court, and be disbarred from further prac-
tce in any department of the Govern
mcnt
Sec. 4. That the Secretary of the In
terror is hereby empowered to make all
rules, regulations, forms, etc, necessary
to prosecution Of claims for pnsion under
this Act.
Sec. >. That such provisions of the Act
of June -, 1890; Act Of May 3, 1900, and
all other Acts or parts of Acts inconSist-
ent with this Act, shall be, and the same
are hereby, repealed.
This bill has many merits, and if passed
would make great ameliOratiOn of the
pension system. In effect, it is a service
pension based on age, and does away with
all requirements except service of at least
80 days, and honorable discharge. As
most all the veterans now approach 60, it
would give every one of them and every
widow of one ST. month

Instead they presented deserted ap-
pcarance, which soon proved to he their
actual condition when our line advanced
TO reconnoiter But the enemy still held
the city beyond the river, with the bridges
destroyed, and opened fire on our men
when we entered their deserted works on
our side, intending to delay us long
enough 10 permit the rear-guard to COM
pletc the destruction of munitions and sup
plies. However, the S5th III. hurriedly
crossed the river above the city on RATS,
skiffs and by swimming, and, unexpected
ly to the enemy, approached the city from
that quarter, causing Il hasty evacuation
and q failure to destroy great stores of
provisions and other supplies.
We found the defenses more complete
and elaborate than any we had pre-
vioUsly encountered. 1t was near this
city that Col. Streight and his band of
raiders were captured in 1868. Their oh
ject was the destruction of the shops
here. and proved so nearly successful that
the Confederate authorities began at once
the construction of works with & large
