In order to correct Misrepresentation IN re-
spect to the payment Of bounties authorized at
the last session Of Congress. the Secretary Of
War directs the following statement to be pub
lished:
The payment Of bonnties to soldiers under the
act Of Congress has not been delayed by any
acton or interference Of the President Soon
after the adjournment of Congress hoard.
with Gen. Candy as President, was organized to
prepare rules and regulations for the payment
Of the authorized bouities. This duty involved
the consideration of the numerous acts Of Con-
gress and the regulations and practice Of sever
al bureaus, and upon it depends the proper dis
bursement of over S50,000,000 among more
than million claimants.
The Board devoted themselves diligently 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 mature consideration, adj
vised certain changes. The matter was again
referred to the Board. with instructions TO re-
wise and amend the regulations. This was done,
and the amended regulations. being approved
by the Attorney General, were promptly pub
lished, and orders issued 10 carry them into ef-
fects. 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 regulations
were prepared under the direction Of the Secre-
tsry of War with as much diligence as the
difficulties Of the subject and the magnitude Of
the disbursements would admit. In respect to
the order temporarily suspending the paymen;
Of bounties TO colored troops, Congress had ma
infested an anxious desire by amendments Of the
act 10 secure these bOuuties 10 colored soldiers,
and to protect them against fraudulent agents
and assignees.
The amount of these bounties is estimated at
nearly 0,00O, 900. The Secretary Of War
felt it his duty to have the regulations Of the
Pay Department carefully revised, SO as to pre-
vide any additional checks that might secure the
bounty to colored soldiers and protest the Tres-
surg against frauds. The subject was, there
fore, referred TO Gen. Canby's Board. and upon
their report being made, payment Of these bOun-
ties was ordered For the temporary suspen-
sion ofpayment neither the President ncr the
Secretary Of the Treasury IS responsible. All
the time taken up was required by justice to the
colore1 soldiers and the public treasury. and to
carry cut the manifest purpose Of Congress, so
as to protect the soldier, far ss might be done
by carefully prepared regulations, against being
cheated out Of his bounty.
By order Of the Secretary Of War.

put himself squarely on record against the

policy, and in favor of the organization with
which be has acted IN the past.
MIR. Hale was not thrown over by his con-
