1872.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 715
REPORT.
To the Honorable the House of Delegates of Maryland:
The Committee on Pensions having considered the various
applications and petitions referred to, it respectfully reports
that taking into consideration the facts, that the contest, on
account of which these pensions are claimed, was not a local,
but a national contest.
And that since the last Pension Law was passed by the
Legislature of this State—the General Government, the prop-
er authority to provide for these claims, has passed a law,
making provisions for the payment of a pension, somewhat
more than that formerly granted by this State—which, law,
we consider, broad enough to include all meritorious cases;
and the further fact, that this State is now tearing its just
and proper proportion of the expense attendant on the pay-
ment of these pensions by the General Government, cannot
recommend any further payment on this account by this
State, and therefore, reports unfavorable on the various ap-
plications and petitions referred to it.
Also, recommend the repeal of the present pension law.
B. S. FORD, Chairman,
