Know Nothings even are bound to presume that
the War department has acted in this matter in &C
codance with the law. Will the Register explain
what the law is, and what the " point is, the deci-
Sion upon which 1t complains so long postpon-

War Department is doubtless embarrassed by the
wording of the law-and the back pay is not with
he'd from disposition to do personal injustice to
Gen. Scott. l. is not just to censure the Depart
ment for a mistake or an omission in the act passed
by the Congress.

old veteran nave what is right. The Republic can
afford to be liberal towards him-can be SO, and be
proud of the act. As military man he has no
equal among living men; and he has performed, in
this capacity, most important service for the coun-
try. But politicians a statesman he is in
every respect inferior to the leading public men of
