the veteran az financial agent Of the Govern
ment and conn ..nder of supreme autbcCfity.
Mr.. Cameron has reported that Gen. Scott
was not only entitled to the moneys he claimed
from the Government, but that he saved to il
millions of dollars which, by the laws of war.
he could have pOcketed, under the settled prin-
ciples regulating the distribution of prize and
