SAYS THE PRESIDENT WAS ACTING UNDER A ‘MISAPPREHENSION, Mr. Taulbee (Ky.) called up the report of the committee on invalid pensions upon the veto message of the President on the bill granting a. pension to Carter W.

He then proceeded to state the {ucts in the case, to show that the President was acting under a misapprehension when he based his veto on the ground that the claiinant was not dependent upon his son—on whose account the pension fs claimed—for support. He also quoted from attidavits to show that while it was true that the son was borne on the rolls as a deserter, he was, at the time that the charge Was made against him, confined as a prisoner in Andersonville prison. He admitted that the President hud acted honestly upon the facts beiore him; but since the veto additional facts had come to light, showing young Tiller’s hos- pital records at Andersonville.

The Senate committee on pensions, in; its re- port recommending the passage over the Presi- dent’s veto of the bill granting a pension to Mary. J. Nottage says great has become the number of such vetoes interposed by the present Executive, all within a few weeks past, and so extraordinary the censure, sometimes rudely expressed and in nearly every instance severely iinplied, of the action of the two houses of Congress and of their comuittees, upon Whom has devolved the wearisome and generally unappreciated labor o a these claims, accompanied in y cases by such ridicule of and evident disgust with the claims themselves, taat your committee feel that they are justified in “a brief review of the circumstances involved, It should be rearem- bered that in a very large number of t bills passed by Congress important original written evidence is filed with the committees or pre- sented verbally, as in hearings betore other cominittees, upon all public questions which come before legislative bodies; and often the pplicant is present with his statement and his palpable disabilities. This evidence is not available to the Executive—atleast without the Asking, and never has been in possession of the Pension oifice, Consequently in nearly every case the Congressional statement stands upon stronger proof than the finding of facts which the President sets up in jisapproval ot the bill. ‘The report was prepared aud submitted by Senator Blair, NOTFs.
