not mandatory upon him. and should ig.
more it; but the arguments which con-
WINGED the Secretary aud Senator Wilson
Of the correctness of this view. failed to
convince Solicitor Whitney. whose opin.
ions on questions of law is justly valued
Nor is there any evidence that the Presi-
dent, who has heretofore considered the
clause rs binding upon the Secretary,
coDcurs in the latter view that its enforce
ment is optional with him. 1t will thus
be seen that the Government has not vet
authoritstiyely decided the question, and
it 10 not improbable in. view of its exceed.
ing importance. that it may yet be re.
ferred to the Attorney General. Posi-.
bly, either ln lieu in such reference, or in
addition to it. the several members Of the
Cabinet may be called upon to lay their
opinions in writing before the Presden,
1t is understood that the views of the
Attorney General are diametrically OPP,
posed to those entertained by the Score.
tary Of War and that he holds that the
Law obligates the Secretary..to fix . sum
by the payment of which, to properly APP

few moments, the quick glances Of his
eyes toward Noel showing that he was
talking Of him.
The Elpperor recalled him TO his SIDE.
= You hsss uneritcd the Gross of the
Legion of honor" said he giving him
the one that he wore.
"You arc brave man."
The grcnadieF, who at that moment
stood between the Emperor and Colonel,

breast, said, in n loud voice:
"In the name of the Emperor, respect
Sergennt-M Major Noel as Sub.Lieutenant

other sign was made, the drums beat, and
again the Colonel spoke:
I" In the name Of the Emperor, respect
Sub-Lieutenant Noel as Lieutenant in
your ranks"

Lieutenant Noel as az Captain in your
ranks"
After this promotion, the Emperor'con-

air which none bcheld him ever forgot !;
but Noel, bursting into food of tears,
tainted in the arms Os the colonel, while
from the regiment came 4 loud united
shout of Vive / Emperor
