A single objection would have carried the dill

attention to tho foot that the proposed beneficiary

thc Senator from Vermont had so well Mid. tbat
thara wm no good reason for repealing this statute
in piecemeal, and mored an amendment m a substi?

tl : persons yoong enough to enter tbe Army
taronga West Point were too yoong af the time of
the Rebellion to have been <?f service In any capac?
ity te the Rebellion, ami the ^?;tint?> did not there?

Senator Logan also medea stirring apeeeb, ex

Senator Thurman (ame to tbe front, ss usual in

were not no easily alarmed. He believed in tm
