Washington, October 21.—Under date of
Now York, October 11,1881, Mr. Everett|
IP. Wheeler sent the following coinmnnica-
Jtion to President A^hur, which was re
ferred to the Secretary of the Interior for
investigation and report:
Sir: Tho business of the Pension Bureau Is
very much iu arrears. Colonel W. W. Dudley,
commissioner of pensions, lc now ab cut from
his post, engaged in conducting the canvass of

neglect of his official duties. We see It pub
licly stated and notdenledthathe had given
orders that applications for pensions filed by
soldiers residing In Ohio and Indiana shall be
[taken up out or the order of filing and have
S ■reference in their examination over those
■led by persons residing in any of the other
[States. As counsel for the Civil Service Reform
Association, I respectfully a»k that au immedi
ate examination of tho- c charges be made. The
theory of tbo laws granting pensions is that
these gifts from the treasury of-the whole
country are made to those veterans who need
them. To use the fears or hopes of faithful
soldiers of the United States for the purpose of
elsewhere, would be the worst form of brib
ery. I respectfully ask you to direct that If
any such orders have been given they be re
voked, and that applications for pensions be
considered Iu their order without partiality or
discrimination. Your obedient servant,
Everett P. Wiieeler.
