The Three Mon,h. Extra Pay.

Since the PRONUNCIATION Of the recent act giving
three months extra pay proper to all officers who
in the military service Of the United States
the Sd Of March, and were honorably discharged
subsequent to April 0, 1865, large number Of ex.
officers commissioned as such after the former date
are applying for the benefits Of said act The an
nouncement Of the fact that only those who were
officers on the Sd of March, 1865 entitled to the
extra pay mentioned will save large class of ex.of-
from making further application for the bene-
fits of the act, all such applications will not be
considered. cotemporary recently incorrectly

UNSCRUPULOUsNE OF THE IN.
RIGHTEOUS.

We desire to call especial attention to the
following cards from one of the honest oppo-
nents of the constitutional amendments pro.
posed by Congress and recently thrust be-
fore the Tennessee Legislature. The writer
of these protests against tyranny in favor of
the voice of the people, served during the war,
and with gallantry and distinction, in the
Union army, and only left his place in the
army to take seat in his State Legislature
in obedience to the strong call of his own
neighbors after the rebellion had been
crushed. This is one of the men whom " that
broad burlesque upon all possible Governors"
denominated in his infamous dispatch to "J.
w. FoRsEy," editor of "my two newspa-
pers," one Of" ANDREW JoHNsoNs tOols:"
but this worthy and eminently Christian gen.
tleman neglected to add the equally import.
ant fact that Captain WILLIAMS was also, for
long term Of service, "a tool Of The no,U
mdrtyred ABRAHAM LINCOLN" for the right
eous purpose of subduing rebellion, restor-
ing his own und other Southern States to the
jurisdiction and Government of the Union,
and to secure the rights of loyal men in the
South who, having borne "the heat and bur.
den of the day" are now placed by their
radical friends in Congress and out of it apon
the same footing, perhaps not so high, as
those who now, at the eleventh hour, propose
to come into the vineyard and reap the re-
wards by over-zealous and traitorous subser-
viency.
The radical party in Congress were assured
by their new-found allies in Tennessee tbat
they would make Tie Legislature Of that State
s,oaiioO the giided pin prepared by them for
the popular palate; and these Tennessee trai.
tors have strained every nerve to fulfil their
part of the contract-have called upon the
military to aid them in their neiarious scheme,
and failing in this, have invaded the sunctity
of private chamber in the middle of the
night, with white and black rullians, and
hurried honorably discharged Union soldiers
to their prisons. And why, forsooth? Merely
because they sought TO defeat the plans of
those who had, "for thirty pieces Of silver"
bargained to deliver their State to the tender

The amendment gave rise to considerable debate,
Messrs scofeld, Kelly, Stevens, spalding and

in the paragraph were acted on 1t would cost the

the present system of taxation would bs entirely
insufficient.
