GENERAL LEES APPLICATION FOR PARDON.
Interesting CorrespOndence,

HEADQU ARTERs ARMIES UNITED STATES, VASE
INGToN, d. c., June 20, l866.-General r. E.
Lee, Richmond, Va-General:--You commu-
niCatiOn of date the 18th Instant stating the
steps you had taken after reading the Presidents
proclamation Of the 29th ultmo with the view
of complying with its provisions when you
learned that, with others, you were to be in
dicted for treason by the grand jury at Norfolk;
that you had supposed that the officers and
men of the Army of Northern Virginia were,
by the terms of their surrender, protected by
the United States Government from moestatlon,
so long as they conformed to IFS conditions
that you were ready to meet any charges that
might be preferred against you, and did not
wish TO avoid trial but that if you were correct
as to the protection granted by your parole, and
were not to be prosecuted you desired to avail
yourself of the Presidents amnesty and proclama-
ton, and enclosing an application therefor, with
the request that in the event it be acted on, has
been received and forwarded to the Secretary of
War, with the following opinion endorsed
thereon:-
"In my opinion the officers and men paroled
at AppomattoX Court House. and since upon the
same terms given to Lee, cannot be tried for
treason so long they observe the terms OF their
parole. This is my understanding. Good faith,
as well as true policy, dictates that we should
observe the condition OF that convention. Bad
faith on the part OF the Government, or q con-
struction of that convention subjecting the
officers to trial for treason, would produce
a feeling of insecurity in the minds of all
the officers and men. If so disposed, they might
even regard such an infraction of terms by the
Government as an entire release from all obliga-
tions on their part / will state further that the
terms granted by me met with the hearty ap-
proval of the President at the time and of the
| country generally, The action of Judge Under
wood in Norfolk has already had an injurious
| effect and would ask that he be ordered to
| quash all indictments found against paroled
| prisoners of war, and to desist from the further
| prosecution of them"

CAUCAsING LAST EVENING.
ABSENCE OF MR.. scoVEL.

[sPECIAJ DESPATCH TO THE EVENING TELEGRAPH.l
TRENTON, N. j., September l5.-P ursuant 10
the terms of the adjournment of the Legislature,
on Tuesday OF last week, the members of the
two Houses and of both political parties came
flocking into town yesterday afternoon. With
the arrival of the early evening trains, nearly
every member was on hand.
A call for a caucus of the Republican members
had been issued Just after the adjournment, and
the holding of this was the first thing in order.
The caucus assembled at the State House at
haltpast Z p. NJ. No business was transacted
save the counting of noses, and whea this was
accomplished, it was found that Senator Scovel
was the only absentee, and that he had tele
graphed that he would surely arrive in the
morning.
There was a general feeling of satisfaction
evident on all sides, the position taken by every
Republican member of the caucus OF last week
remaining unchanged, and the election of Hon.
A. G. Cattel as United States Senator beng
considered certain, beyond a doubt.
The Democratic members evidently regarded
the subject in the same light They found
themselves in the unhappy predcament of
"Othello," when that gentleman discovered
his occupation to be "gone" Rumor had it.,
however, that they did not altogether give up
the contest, but that a select number of them

stockton, and there discussed the terms of a
protest which they were severally to sign.
This protest, of course, will declare the cleo
ton of a Senator aU the present juncture Illegal.
On this issue they will go before the people in
| November, and if successful in carrying the
next Legislature, they have only to hold a new
| election, and thus contest the seat of the Sena-
tor elected against their wishes and ideas of
| legality.
The two Houses assembled at o'clock in the
| evening, but did nothing more than the routine
business before they adjourned until this
| morning.

The Payment of BOunties.
The Board appointed by the Secretary OF War
to prepare rules and regulations for the guidance
Of the Paymaster-General IN the payment of the
additional bounty to soldiers and sailors, have
made their final report This Board consisted
of Gems. Candy, Buchanan, and Doster, who
made their first report August II, with special
reference to the payment of bounties to Indian
and negro soldiers, recommending it to be done
under the same rules and checks as have been
heretofore exercised in the cases of whites.
Their last report reviews the system of the
Second Auditors Bureau, Treasury Department,
where all bounties and back pay have been
awarded, and recommends to the Secretary of
War the establishment of tie same system in
the Paymaster- Generals office, where discharged
soldiers are to receive their additional bounties
the widows and heirs of deceased soldiers apply
ing to the Second Auditor, f. B. French.
The form of application win be the same as
heretofore used, with the exception that the
number of the certificate issued in previous
settlement must be given; but where the claim
ant has not retained the number of the settle
ment, it will be useless to apoly to the
department lor IL, as III Will not Oe given. III
the name of the soldier, regiment, company,
and time of death tif deceased) be given, the
Department can make examination and settle
ment. The number called for is only for con-
venience. The Paymaster-General will make
arrangements to pay at least 400,0 900 claims.
The Second Auditor is expecting 250,O 900
applications. He has now filed $4,000 claims
from soldiers heirs and 1000 from discharged
soldiers; these last will be transferred to the
Paymaster-General. Counting these claims filed
in the departments and those held by the State
agencies and claim agency firms, at the lowest
calculation there 15O 900 claims tor the addi-
tional bounty now awaiting in Washington the
action of the Department. Nothing can be
stated even of a speculative character that can
| indicate when these payments will begin.
