Judge Hollis Opinion.
New York, November 3O.-The Times
Washington special says: Judge Holt, Chic
of the Bureau of Military Justice, gave an
opinion Yesterday, which was promulgated
bv an order of the Secretary Of War, con
sfruing the second and third sections of the
Act Of Congress pa sed July 4th, 1864, which
provides that ali claims of loyal citizens in
the States not in rebellion. for quartermas-
ters stores and for subsistence actually fur
nished to the army of the United States
and receipted for by the proper officers re
ceiving the same, and which may have
been gotten without a receipt, may be sno-
mitted respectively to the Quartermastei
General or COmmissary General, and d
found lust, &c, the last named officers shall
recommend the claim 60 the third auditor
for settlement.
Judge Holt holds that to justify the ac.
ton contemplated by the second and third
sections of the Act of July 4th, 1864, not
only must the claimant be loyal citizen
but the claim must also originate in loyal
state Whether the words "Claims of loyal
citizens in States not in rebellion" arising
in disloyal States then at open war with
the government, will be allowed, is a ques-
tion so complicated with political and other
considerations proper for the determination
of Congress, that it is believed thatthe exc
cutive administration should not assume tc
act on. such claims without the clearesi
authority conferred by law. 1t is not sup
posed to have been the intention of Congress:
to bestow such authority by the Actreferred
to this bureau for construction.
