THE PENSION BILL VETOES. ‘The resolution to print 5,000 additional copies of the report of the Senate committee on pensions on the subject of vetoed pension bills was taken up— ‘the question being on itr. Cockrell’s amendment {0 print 100,000 copies 0. ‘the presidential vetoes in the last and present Congresses, ‘Mr. Cockrell explained the object which he had in suggesting the printing of the veto message in ‘THE DOBERTY CASE. The Senator from Massachusetts (Mr, Dawes) had then suggested a resolution to have all the Pension vetoes printed, and he (Mr. Cockrell) had offered it a8 an amendment; but to his horrorand astonishment the Senator from Massachusetts had sprung into a fearful rage about it, and the dis- Ungulshed Senator from Connecticut (Mr. Hawiey) had been moved almost to tears on ‘the Doherty case. And the vials of wrath had been poured upon the devoted head of the President. ‘These veto messages were excellent reading and the peo- ple were very anxious to read them. MB. DAVIS JUSTIFIES THE ACTION OF THE PENSION ‘COMMITTEE. ‘Mr. Davis (chairman of the pension committee) explained and justified the action of that committee in reporting a Dill to pension Mrs. Doherty—who had _ suffered serio from an explosion at the Washington arsen: AS Lo the pension which she had drawn (for three months) as the widow of Daniel Doherty, he ex- lained that it had been given on the report {whlch bad turned out to tea tabrication) Of his death, ‘The President bad seen Mt to read Lo Con- gress & homily on Its carelessness aud remissness, and had stated, as a fact, that Daniel Doherty was Uving in Pulladelpia a pensioner in his own right. “PALSE AS A BULLETIN,” which used to be a proverb, was perfectly applica- ble to that paper, for there was not one word of truth in ubat allegation, Daniel Doherty had never enjoyed a pension—the record tn the Pension Office showing that his clatin for pension had been disaliowed in the Pension Office. ‘THE PENSION CIRCUMLOCUTION OFFICE. He should advise the particular Tite Barnacle of the pension circumlocution office, who furnished information to tbe President, to bea little more prudent and circumspect in his investigations, As to the statement of this woman’s frequent ar- Tests by the police, he aduittted that, under ‘the pressure of physical and mental — suffer- ing, she had been arrested five times tor Venlal offenses up to 1872, but since then she had conducted herself ina reputable manner (as had been certified by Admiral Porter and Mr. Geo. Bancroft), aud. the police iad placed to her charge the arrests of other women named Doberty, there being no proof whatever that whey were oné and the same person. ‘This showed the extraordinary pains to which Ube emissaries of the Pension Bureau had gone to enable the President Yo form a veto out of which political capital might be made. ‘alr, Cockrell asked Mr. Davis whether the pen- sion to Mrs. Doherty was given because of her in- Jury at the Arsenal explosion. dir. Davis presumed that taat had a certain ef- fect in determining the reporting of the bill, MR, COCKRELL DAKED THE COMMITTEE to make a report recommending the passage of the Dillon the ground that Mary Ann Doherty had been an employe of the Government, and had been injured in an explosion. He Just dared him to do te Mr, Davis read a certificate signed by several persons (among them Major McKee, the command. ant at the Arsenal In 1864), Lo the effect taut Mary Ann Doherty had been employed in the Arsenal and had been Injured, Air, Cockrell treated this paper as undated, un- verified, and unreilable, and he asked wuether that was the sort of ‘authority on which the committee on pensions acted. If Mary Ann Doberty had been In the employment of the Gov- ernment her name was on the Ust of employes, and she had signed her name for the waxes she received. He challeaged tne committee on pen- sions to produce this evidence, and deciared that They could not; that the woman had never been employed in thé arsenal, and HAD NEVER BEEN BLOWN UP; and that that Whole part of the claim was in- famous, false and fraudulent. He also challenged Proof, that the George Bancroft, whose name was printed to the woman's petition, was George Ban- crott, the historian, patriot and’ phuanchropis that ‘any son of tiS Woman had ever been kil atthe Washington navy-yard. ‘Tue matter Was glowed W pass over without action, and Mr. Sherman, from the committee on finaneé, reported an AMENDMENT TO THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL to incorporate in it a provision to refund the direct tax.
