Several days ago-a gentleman and his

his wife lHine having known her pre-

consented, and they accordingly went.

TO soLDIERa.

The following decision of the First
Comptroller of the Treasury, is of i'm
portahce to soldiers claiming bounty. A
man obtaining bounty under a contract of
enlistment which he is either unable or
unwilling tofulfll, obtains it fraudulently,
and il not entitled TO it. If paid by the
United States, the money paid rightfully
belongs to the Government. If paid by
local suthorityJit rightfully belongs to it,
unless such local authority was by the
fraudulent enlistment credited with a re-
cruit On account of their quota, in which
case even local bounties belong rightfully
to b eIUnited States, as it incurs the ex-i
pense of supporting the recruit, while
nomi1ally attached to the army, and loses
the benefit of service, which the local ad-
thority was bound to furnish, and from
which it had been exonerated by the
fraudulent enlistment of an invalid or in
competent recruit; only in case it be
proven that the records on the muster in
and muster out rolls are false, or that the
money, deposited with the PaymasteI by
the recruit, was not received by him as
bounty, can it be refunded to the SOLDIER
TIE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE. e
Tho Reconstruction Committee is now
fully organized and has begun its work.
The members found after thorough in

impossible for the whole committee to
make the required or advisable examine
ton Of all the States lately In rebellion,
and it has, therefore, been divided into
four subcommittee. Each of these sub
committees has a Senator at its head, and
is assigned to the duty of making the
necessary examination in regard to two or
three States, and it is understood that
their reports will be made directly to the
two houses of Congress, while the oom-
mittee. as a whole will make a separate
report with recommendations. Two of
the sub-committees, at least, have begun
the examination Of witness. Several
gentlemen who have made journeys of
greater or less length during the last six
months in the South, have already been
Summoned to appear before n or another
subcommittee, and others have been di-
rected to hold themselves in readiness to
appear when wanted. There are indica-
lions that tease of Tennessee viii be the
first reported upon; there is no probabifi-
ty Of an immediate report even in respect
to that State. With respect TO other
States it need only be said that the exam
ination will be thorough enough to keep
them on probation for some months to-
come. ssa ~
The witnesses called before the sub
committees will not be wholly Northern
ers or temporary residents Of the South,
but viii embrace persons of an classes,
thoroughly identified with the States in
which they live. This rule will be fol-
even in respect to q State so far
away as Texas, from which witnesses will
be summoned at al carly day.
