Mesare. Gales e. Scaton-

In the account of the proceedings of
the meeting held at Nashville, Tennessee,
on the 2fst of last month, published in your
paper ofyesterday, it is stated by one of
the speakers, that while the compensa-
ton law, " on the ce Of it, had given
them 1.-THE members] but $500, it had
been so construed by the httornry-Ge
raj OF the u. ). as to give each Individual
about S2200." This is mistake. The
fact is directly the other way. The At-
torney Generals opinion was, that not
more than $500 was payable to member
IN any one year moreover, that from the
words of the law, this sum was payable, in
the aZgr gate, as an annual salary on
day fixed, and that no hortion If il could
be demanded until the arrival Of that day.
This opinion was over-ruled, and orc a.
dopted by Congress, under which pay-
ments were made to the members, on ac-
count, IN the same manner as when the al
lowance was per diem, and under which
also they received a greater sum than
$500 at the close Of the last session, pro-
bly, about 1000, contrary 10 the construc
ton given to the Law by the Attorney Cle..
neral. Ar.
We are authorised, says the National
lnteligsncer, by documents we have seen.
to state. that the paymastcr-general, Mr.
Brent, has, since the 10th Of April, 1915,
placed at the disposal of his deputies in the
state OF Tennessee, about 200. 900 dollars,
for the pay, &c. Of the troops of that state.
exclusive of Indian warriors, who have
been separately provided for.
If this be so. the Nashville meeting had
little reason for one part Of theis com
plants.
