BoUNTIEs TO vkTKRAN RESERVES.

The uncertainty of the payment OF bounties
TO members of the Veteran Reserve Corps has
been settled by the Second Comptroller of the
Treasury, WHO decides that as they are dis
charged by reason o. the close of the war they
are entitled TO the balance of the bounty the
same as though they had remained with their
regiments, the fact of their being transferred TO
the Veteran Reserve Corps and discharged
from that organization not affecting their right
to the bounty TO which they were entitled un =
der their enlistment. In the case of n repre-
sentative substitute '.for person not liable to
draft" il is held that The former is entitled to
the same bounty as other recruits enlisted at
the same time and for like periods of service.
