| THE PRESIDENTS EFFORTS TO PREVENT SOLDIERS RI
cEivIsa BoUsTY.
There seems TO be deep-lad plot the part of the
Executive shut the soldiers from receiving the bounty
voted 20 them at session Of Congress Thousands
claims from soldier. from all country for this bounty
have been received pey department and tiled AVA
n useless There 10 no OF soldier making application
for the bouay the report Of the Board appointed TO MAJ
regulation. for Its payment Is published This Board made
regulations guide paynasters in the pay meht OF I'M
bounes aod also forth instructions bow application
for the bounty he made by the soldiers entitled to u
The report hos been time and s now In IN
hands Of the President Secretary Of War and the secres,
OF the Treasury Until Published there Is no use oil sol
der claim for without the Instructions adopted by thu
The manner IN Whicn po "
known and oil others will be incorrect Secretary hcCuloci
Ia preparing statement of how much money 1t VIII take
| nav these bounties, and IL 10 asserted ne VII
| show that 1t will be impossible to pay them
This 10 singular when the receipts from Internal Revenue
have been 600 900 day and the receipts from Custom
have been unusually large recently IL seems to be deeI
game to hoodwt the soldiers into believing Congress has
been hiug with them The only manner In which the sol
ders can get Justice done them is to hold public meeting
and demand Of the President immediate publication
| Of the report Of the Bounty Board The state
meot OF the Associate Press dispatch that the payment
OF bounties to colored soldiers stopped until the
Board appointed make rules for the payment Of bounte'
should make its report Is simply absurd The act giving
coored soldiers bounty separate and distinct one from
the last Bounty passed by Congress just at Its adjourn
mont For two weeks the PayDepartnen has been paying
these coored soldiers their bounty but are now ordered
atom and turn over claims the second Auditor where they
| will not be resurrecteo for couple OF years
IL Is only newspaper correspondents here
asked TO make statement that the Pay Department

IN rough and must exposed is plot to catch soldiers
votes for q new peace party.
