Mr. Dawes, referring to Butler's opposition to every proposed reduction of pubilc expenatture, intimated that he (Butler) Would not be satisfied one way or the other and did not want to be, preierring to fight every question merely for buncombe and sensation. Butler was squeiched, but only for a moment, for when the next clause in the bill was proposed—that giving $1,500,000 tor pay and mileage of members— Ben was up again and threw a regular bombshell, into the House by proposing to cut off one- third of the amount, and not to allow one and tho indentation which it made ts still visible. The old man points to this scar with Considerable pride, and 13 quite garrulous about the circumstances under which he recetved tue wound. When the war of 1812 broke out he was considered too old to enter the service as a soldier, but he went in as a messenger to carry the mails. He relates many interesting stories of the narrow escapes be had from being taken prisoner by the enemy's scouts. On one occasion he was forced to leave lis horses and take to the woods, 80 closely was he pur. sued. He was the bearer of important despatches, which he succeeded in carrying safely through. On being asked if he could read Mr. Kitta replied toat he could not. When he was a boy, he said, there was very littie reading done, and even if he had learned to read 11 would be of no use to him now. He had never found time to read until his eyesight failed him, Although entitled to & pension both as a soldier of the Kevolution and of 1812, he has never applied to Congress for it. He says until about seven years ago he had no occasion to seek ald from the government, because he was able to take care of himself. He thought tue government had enough soldiers who fought in the rebellion to pen- sion without giving anything to the ‘boys’? who fought under Washington now. The old man is unable to do anything, and he asks a pension. He sald he didn’t expect to rewain tong upon the by the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner, during the debate on the Virginia bill.
