On motion Of NJ NJ Buford, member
Of Hampton-Butler command, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the Hon. John NJ Til!man,
of Arkansas, member of the national
house of representatiye has introduc-
ed a bill in the congress OF the United
States for the purpose Of refunding
the cotton tax paid by the Southern
States after the Civil war in the form
of a pension to the Confederate SOL
diers.
And whereas the Hon. B. R. Till.
man. of South Carolina, member of the
senate OF the United States, has intro
duced a like measure in the senate OF
the United States.
And whereas the passage of this bill
as we'll as the general bill introduceu
by the Hon. John M. Tillman ,or the
pension of the Confederate soldiers,
would be a recognition by the lawmak
ing branch of the United States, not
only of the services of the Confeder te
soldier to the soldier in blue and the
pensions paid by them since the war
was ended, but also a recognition OF
the distinguished services rendered or
inherited convictions.
And whereas it would singulariy set
forth the fact that the Civil war was
waged by neither side with criminal
intent, but by both sides because OF
fidelity to inherited beliefs.
And whereas, by suca recognition of
true comradeship by united country
to those long neglected heroes, they
pace those that wore the grey on rec
ord, as we'll as those who wore the
blue. for true and unblemished patriot
ism and valor;
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
James D. Nance Camp, No 336, that
we heartily endorse the action O,
these two American representatives for
their thoughtfulness and patriotism in
this service manifested by the intro
duction of this measure in the congress
and senate of the United States TO the
needy Confederate soldiers and their
widows, and we hereby tender to them
