Logan came up, a good deal was said as to whether or not the senator’s death was in any way the result of wounds or exposure ig the army. Several senators argued that it was and Seoator Mitchell ■ ; i mentioned that he had once heard Gen. Logan say that he did not in tend to ask for it.

This was a surprise to some o f the senators, but they told Mr. Vest they would vote to increase Mrs. Blair’s pension as a separate measure if he would with draw his proposition. Mr. Vest took note o f these fair promises, and resumed his seat Then Sen ator Berry o f Arkansas, who rare Hon. J. M.
