(1FX BUCK C11ITICISKD AND I) FLWDLD l.V Till: Sl'.N'ATE. I'roleat Agnlnst thn lnfiinuius Obsta cles Interposed Against Claims nf Ytciunilrd nml Illsalilod Soldiers Day nnd Night Debute Uon (Ilea innrgarliie. After miscellaneous business tho Senate, on motion of Mr. Scwcll, passed the bill to amend tho pitislon laws by Increasing the pensions ot soldiers and tailors who havo lost an arm or leg In tbo service. The proceedings upon this bill nro pub lished lu another part ot tho National lln- I'llltlCAN. On motion of Mr. Saw) er,prlvato pension cases wire then taken up aud proceeded with. Some sharp debate occurred on one oftho bills. Mr. Ingalls said tho pension ofTIco was administered upon the Idea that every dis abled soldier who applied for a pen sion was doing something felonious. Ho bad lu mind a caso lu which a soldier, totally blind, whose claim had been ad mlttccl under a previous administration on tho most abundant and explicit proof, had had Ids claim suspended by Commis sioner Black among tho earliest of bis official acts. This was dono upon an appeal taken after tho caso had In en argued hctoro tho assistant secretary of thu Interior and an appeal ogalu token to tho Hitrctary of tho Interior against tho continued Interposition and bbjccllou of the present commissioner of pulsions, iso obvious, however, was tho Justice of tho claim that tho Secretary of the Interior declared that tho original do clslou should stand. So the man finally re ceived Ids pension nnd the largest amount of arrears granted since 1870. Mr. Ingalls ogrccil with a remark made by Mr. Cock rcll, that It was not proper to havo so many cases coming to Congress cspcclall), Mr. Ingalls said, when tho evidence wassoc.leir, as It was lu uluc tenths of tho cases beforo tho Senate. "But," bo asked, "what aro you going to donlout 111" (len. Black, Mr. Ingalls continued, was himself a standing monu ment of the liberality ot a Republican Sen ate. Tho claim ot Gen. Black had como befnro the pension commlttco ot the Senato when bo (Mr. Ingalls) was chairman of that committee. Tli commlttco reported a bill putting (Jen. Black on tbo pension list at the high est rate pold to any soldier of the republic, upon tho ground that bo was totally dis abled; that his ability to cam Ida livelihood lu his profession had been absolutely de stroyed. Hon. David Davis, then In tho Senato, had assured tho commlttco that John Charles Black was an) absoluto ph) st eal wrick, totullv unablo toobtaln a sub sistence for himself or bis family. So (len. Black bad cot n pension of $100 n month. That man to day, in tho cnjovinent ot that pension ns a totally disabled person, was getting Mr, Ingalls did not know how many thousands of dollars n )car as a commissioner of pensions, and was able to Interpose frivolous nnd unjustifiable objections against the letter and spirit ot the pension Ian against thonsands ot men that wero vastly more entitled to $100 a month than was (len. IJIack. Ills no tions today nnd his position In this govern ment, wire u refutation of tho statements on which ho had received his pension; nnd If he were a man of honor If ho wcro en lltlicl to the coufidenco of the peoploaud tbo emoluments of the position ho enjo) cd he would dccllno to receive that peuslon; aud Mr. Ingalls, In tho name ot the disabled soldiers of the republic, protested against tho Infamous olfacles liut are being Inter posed against tbo claims of tbo wounded and disabled soldiers. Mr. Coekrell defended the commissioner ot pensions. Ho said the senator from Kansas had gouooutof his way to makoa f cuoral onslaught on (Jen. Black, aud had undertaken to create the false Imprisslou on tho public mind that these claimants who resorted to Congress for relief were persons whoo claims had been rojected by tl o picsent commissioner of pensions. Sir. Ingalls. Mini) ot them havo been. Mr. Coekrell. Most of them have not 1 ecu, and (he records show It, and tho sen ator knows It. Mi. Ingalls said ho was not objecting tn the numUr ot claims allowed, but to those not allowed, lloaskol MrUiakrell, "What do von ta) about his Liiloylng a pension ot ilTOn month for total cllublllt)" Mr. Coekrell. The senator from Kansis pnult tohlm, nndls estopped from erltl-ch-lug his own acts. Mi Ingalls ri prated that tbo pension wasLlvtn upon what was supposed to bo reliable evidence, but thu present condition of thettr inmlssloner was proof that hu had oiitalnid tho pension uuclir falso allcgit tic ns, uud thai It ought to bo repealed. Mr. Coekrell thought that If Mr. Ingalls lellevtd what bo had sold, ho should Intro duce a hill for tho repeal of tho kill grant ing the pension. Mr. Logan thought that unfair stitcincnts had been sent broadcast over tho countiy about tho action of Commissioner Dudley. As far ns concerned (len. Black's pen sion, however, Mr. Logan would say noth ing about It. If (Sen. Black was entitled to tho pension, Mr. Logan hoped ho would re tain It. ben. Black bad been a badl) wounded man, and If entitled to a pension, no inatler bow large, Mr. Lojan would not iuli.cn It ono cent. It did not como with thu best grace, however, from men who had received pensions bv actot Congress tu object to others receiving pensions by similar means. Tho great majority of men who applied for pensions were disabled, clthci from wounds received or diseases contracted lu the service. .Mr. Voorbeca warmly defended Ocn. Black. He had known him, ho said, since Pluck was a boy ot 10, w hen be brok o nwuy from collego to go Into tbo army. Gen. Black's military services had been excep tional!) brilliant. Mr. Voorhees saw Oen. Blatk when Iho pension was applied for, and lie did not conceive It possible for a hu man belug wounded as Black was to live. He was then wasted to a skeleton; blood poisoning was ravaging his whole s)stcin; tones had bceu cut from his arms, and a similar operation was threatened as to his legs. Mr. Ynorhcts had often left his side despairing of overseeing him allvo aaln, Ho (Mr. Vooilucs)held himself responsible to answer for tho Justlco and propriety ot tho pension ati)whcro and everywhere. It had not been obtained under false pre tences, (len. Black was to da) per foimliig bis duties whllo open, running wounds from shattered bones werodralulug him of his strength, As to (len. Black's services as commis sioner of pensions, Mr. Voorhees saw no nerd to add n word to what bad been said by Mr. Coekrell. Mr. Ingalls said ho did not Btaud here to disparage tho valor or courage ot (leu. Black, but merely asserted that that ofilccr had received his present peuslon upon al legations that did not exist aud that do not exist to day, Mr. Ingalls was Informed though ho did not know it when ho hail enthusiastically reported (Jen. Black's ap plication for a pension that after all tho surgical treatment referred to by Mr. Voorhees, (leu. Black was active In politi cal and professional llfo; that ho was a candidate for Congress In 1NA1 or lbOS, long after Iho war closed. Ho had also been Informed that thrco times since tho grant ing of the pension In 1S70 (len Black bad been ucnndldato foi Cnugriss and mado a cunvaes, that ho had been ut'iiuilMalu for governor and active on the stump, flat ho conducted his professional uvocntlou and hail contended for a seat In tho L'ultod States Senate. Yet wo had been Informed from man) sources that he was u total wreck, Intcllectuall) and ph)slcally. Mr. Voorhees denied that an) body had ever said that (len, Ulackwus an "Intel lectual" wreck, Mr. Ingalls said It had been repeated tlmo and tlmo oguln Mr. Voorhees, with emphasis of maimer, denied this Mr. Ingalls reiterated his statement as to tho nllegatlou of "Intellectual" wreck As to Ucu, Blaik's wounds, Mr, IU5.1II4 remarked that no pension could ho too largo for those wounds, it was not of the largo ncrs of tho pension that bo complained. No man could bo paid with $100 a month for being torn by shot and shell. What Mr. Ingalls complained of was that, having ob tained that pension upon thoso pretexts, "John Charles Black" should havo signal izccl his advent Into the placo ho now held by protesting against tho pa) ment of smaller pensions to men who wcro as greatly dis abled as himself. Ho (Oen. Dlsck) stood to-day co-operating with tho President ot tho united States In vetoing Httlo measures of relief at $fl per month to prlvato soldiers who could not sccuro sufficient ovldcnco to establish their claims bctoro tho pension oiTlcc. Ho (.Mr. Ingalls) protested against John Chotles Black enjoying n pension ot 100 a month upon pretexts that did not exist nnd at the samo tlmo using tho efforts of his great olllco to prevent tho pa) meut of pensions that had been lawfully provided Ono of his first official acts had been to suspend pa)mcntof a pension to a citizen of Kansas who for nlnctecn)cars had not si en the light of tho suu, nor the faco of wife or child a poor wretch doomed to perpetual darkness and Isolation w hose pension In nn) event was sjsj a month less than that received by John Charles Black, though Mr. Black could wrlto his name with hls'dlsablcd hand. So plain was the caso, how ever, that Secretary Lunar ill reeled it tn bo paid In splto of tho protest of John Charles Black. Mr. Ingalls, In tho name of the disabled soldiers of the repub lic, protested against that Impostor ho repeated It, with full knowledge of what the word meant that Impostor who was receiving n pension to which ho was not entitled b) vlrluo of any disability, and who had used his position ever since ho bad been In It to slander and revile his prede cessor. Mr. Voorhees replied that It was well known that Mr. Ingalls was at his best when extravagant when confined by nn close or accurate lines. That senator had felt compelled to luslston his statements ns to (len. Black's Intellectual capacity having I ecn weakened, when there was no state ment ever made to that eUcct. Mr. Voor bets, In support of his statement, had tbo clerk rend (leu. Black's application for a pension nnd tho report of tho Scnalo com mittee with reference to that application. Alluding to (len. Black's wouuds, Mr. Voorhees said thatto this day thoso wounds bod to bo dressed dally by a physician. If tho senator from Kuns is felt an) prldn In as saulting a man who was suflerlng as (len. Black wos, let that 6cuator enjoy It, but It was totnll) and iibsolutelv unjust. As to the Kansas soldier. Gen Black has simply exercised the prndenco to suspend a claim In order lo have It examined Into. That had resulted lu a confederate soldier, now at the head or tho Interior Department, allowing tho claim. Mr, Voorhees observed that the senator from Kansas whllo denouncing tho commissioner of pensions forgot to express his grateful appreciation to thu lato senator from Mlsslsslipi;(Secretary Lamar), now at the bend of tho Interior Department. Mr. Voorhees Insisted that Mr. Ingalls would find himself mistaken if bo supposed ho could b) this attack prejudge thu result ot the pension Investigation now going on. The urgent deficiency conference report was submitted, and, 011 motlonot Mr. Alli son, ngrecd to. The bankruptcy bill was then taken up and debated until adjournment, Mr. Toiler spcaklnir against tho bill, aud Mr. lloarlu Its favor. At I 25 p. in., on motion of Mr. Ingalls, the Scnalo went Into executive session. In half an hour tho doors wero reopened, aud the Senate adjourned. tiii: iioubi:. Mr. Kendall, ot Pennsylvania, submitted the conference report 011 the urgent do flclcnc) bill, and It was agreed to. After n vain attempt to arrlvoat onfo de termination us to tho order ot business to be pursued during tho remainder ot tbo week, thu House went Into commlttco ot tho whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, In tbo choir) on Iho "oleomargarine" bill.
