Twas present thin afternoon at tiG Arwewel, with Morers, Weav 1 Harvey, and the event Which occurred were #0 brief and purely official that Mt required the associations of the time and place, and the memory of all the tragedies there culm nating, to caforee the suggestiveness tf not the historical Importance of the reene, even on the most impres- sible mind. As said, the gentlemen intrusted with the reception of the ‘remalus arrived at the Arscnol yardat 4 o'clock P.M Mr. Weaver, bearing the Ger to Gen, Ramsey, delivered tt to Capt. F.

The petition of Mrs, Lincoln for a pension, which we have already pincrd bofore the readers of Tuk Sun, came up before the United States Senate yesterday, Mr, Somner moved to make the pension $5,000 a year, An fnteresting debate followed this proposition, The Committee on Pensions, to whom the eubject bad been referred, had reported that there was no legal ground upon which Mrs. Lincoin' request could be granted. Garret Davia, of Kene tucky, sald that he could not vote for the resolution, Decause ft propored a dangerons innovation upon our Pension law, Ho had the kindest feeling toward Mrs, Lincoln, and high appreciation of the services of her deceased husband, but he could not vote for éuch a mischievous Innovation, Mr. Jonn Conn of California, here moved to amend by striking out “pension,” and inserting the word “allowance.” He thought that by putting the appropriation in that form no one would object to it. Mr, Thomas A, Hendricks, of Indiana, late a proml- nent Democratic candidate for the Presidency, anid there was clearly no authority, under the Pension law, to give Mrs. Lincoin a pension, and he could not vote her an allowance, because that would be intro- ducing into the United States the mischievous system of Government annuities which had been found so oppressive to the people of other countries, Mr. Jacob M. Howard, of Michigan, hoped the anendment of Mr, Conness would not prevail. He Ald not eee what authority Congress had to make Mrs, Lincoln an allowance, but he was in favor of granting her a pension as the widow of the Com. munder-in-Chief of the Armies of the United States, slain by an assatsin acting in the rests of the ree bellion, Mr. Peter @, Van Winkle, of West Vir- ginia, explained and defended the action of the C: tnittce on Pensions tn reporthy aguinst the applicas tion of Mrs. Lincoln, but raid he would be In lavor of giving her asultable sum annually in some other form, ua he should be aatistied that the needed it Mr. Oliver P. Morton of Indiana maintained that Mr, Lincoln having been the Commander-in-Chict of the army, nnd having been killed by the enemies of the Government doring war, his widow was aa much entitiod to 9 pension as the widow of any other off. cer so killed, nud it was better to make the appro priation In Wat form, because then it could not be Made a precedent for appropriations in ald of the widows of future Presidente who might die a na ral death.

Being that many of the friends of the resolution preferred ib should stand in its original form, he withdrew the Smendient and was willing to vole for the approprie ation as a pension allowance payment, or any thing 0 tuat Mrs. Lincoln should get the money, Another interesting revelation wus here made, Mr. James W. Patterson, of New Hampshire, stated that ho had beeu a member of the Committed In the House, to which the first proposition to grant Mr Lane 8 pension had been tr ferred, and d that Judge Davis, the exceuter of g the members of the fami) F alated the reas im at $5,000. por use the propsition. i in's death, to give his w Seeposed to hx wore, fist be fler'Mr, Lincy or the whole of his term, had bee out.

The debate drew to aclose. Mr, Thomas W.
