the argument, that Bundy voted to FORCE
negro suffrage upon the people of the
District of Columbia, and the Candidates
on the r. r, r. ticket endorsed that vote,
ant. that in concceding' to them honesty
of purpose, we were bound to conclude
that they believed il to be right that the
negro should vote In the District, and we
further argued that il. it was right for the
negro to vote in the District of Columbia
it would be equally. right for the ne,

the negro vote in Ohio, and called upon
them to deny it if they could. But, have

Another faisehood peddled out
by butternuts is that there is no
appropriation to pay soldiers the
late bounty. The bill is a part of
the general appropriation bill, and
the Department at, Washington has
said thatthe bounties will be paid
out of the general appropriation
AS to ,niggers getting bounties, we
have only to say that the 100000
negroes, who went into the army,
saved THREE HUNDREDTH THOU
SAND COPPERHEADS;- for, the
Union men had already volunteer
ed, and if a draft had been made
Tor 100000 white men to take the
place of those negroes, nine out of

$500 Bounty to "Niggers"---S100
Bounty to White Soldiers.

The biggest falsehood of the
campaign was peddled around the
country by Andy johnson in his
Northern raid, and has been re-
peated by all the small fry of but
ternutstumpers and papers until
some of them really believe there
is something in it. ......, u
Every soldier of 1862, who was
properly on the rolls, received 500
bounty. Every three year soldier,
that. enlisted after October, 1868,
got 5000, if he was a recruit, and
S400, If he was a veteran. Soldiers
ali know this fact.
Z; The paymasters, under old laws,
refused to pay any bounty to color
ed troops. Congress directed that
colored soldiers haze the same bounty
as phite soldiers. The colored sol
diers are not getting any ADDITION
AL BoUNTY-and the contemplate
effort of the copperheads to make
it appear that they are, is a mis-
statement of facts, a libel upon
Congress-an effort of Andy John
son and his party to mislead the
honest people. ohi o- ~ .

and to protect him against fraudu-

amount Of these bounties is 'esti-

\ The Secretary of War felt it, his
duty to have the regulations of the
Pay Department carefully revised,
so as to provide any additional
checks that might secure the boun.
ty to colored soldiers, and protect
the treasury against fraud. The
subject was, therefore, referred to
General Cpnby's board, and upon
their report being made, payment
of thssei -bodnties was ordered. IL
For the temporary suspension Of

the Secretary ofthe Treasury is re-

In order to correct misrepresen-
tatiOn in respect to the payment of
the bounties authorized at the last
session of Congress, the Secretary
of War directs the following state
ment to be published:
The payment of bounties to sol
diers under the act of Congress has
not been delayed by any action or
interference of the President
Soon after. the adjournment of Con
gress, a board, with General Candy
as President, was organized to
prepare rules and regulations for
the payment of the authorized
bounty. This duty involved in it
the consideration Of numerous acts
of Congress, and the regulations
and practice Of several bureaus,
and upon which depended the prop
er disbursement of our fifty mill
ions of dollars among more than
million claimants. The body de-
voted themselves to their work,
and when it was completed, made
a report to the Secretary of War.
That officer revised the regulations,
and having doubts in respect to
some legal points determined by
the Board, referred their report to
the Attorney-General, who, after
consideration, advised certain
changes. The matter was again re-
ferred 10 the Board, with instruc-
tions to revise and amend the reg
ulations. -t .
This was done, and the amended
regulations, being approved by the
Attorney General, were promptly
published, and orders issued to
carry them into effect. In the
whole procedure there was no in
reference by the President or the
Secretary of the Treasury. The
report was not suppressed nor seen
by either of them. The regula7
tions were prepared under the di-
rection Of, the Secretary Of War
