of the merits of the application, under
what authority OF law the money was Il
fued for no law authorizes the war de-
partment to ifIue even contingent ex-

feryice or rather it was iilued With
out legal authority; for admitting, and
we lhalI, admit in its fullett latitude, that
the ufe to which the money was applied,
would have been not only proper, but
wife under the circumstances alledgea, 1t

picioas of the people, againf the admin

Rofs has unneceGarily taken the ,fouos
