Of Bounties, a..-,- - ~

WASHINGTON, Sept. 80 The follow.
ing circular in relation to the payment
Of bounties, has just been issued:
WAR DEPT. ADJ'T GEN'Ls OFFICE,
WAsHINGToN, Sept 29th, 66 }
L. order TO correct misrepresentation
in respect to the paymenhof bounties au.
rhorized at the last Congress. the Score
tary of War directs the following state
ment to be published:
The payment of 5oupties to soldiers
under act of Congress, has BOT been de
layed by any action or Influence of the
President. Soon after the adjournment
of Congress board, with General Csn-
by as President, was organized TO pre-.
pare rules and regulations for the pay.
ment of the authorized bounties, This
duty involved the consideration Of nu-
mereus acts of Congress, aud the regu-
latlons and practice Of several
bureaus, and upon 1t depends the
proper disbursement OF over
fifty millions ofdollars among moro than
million claimants. The Board devoted
themselves diligently to their work, and
when it was completed made report to
the Secretary of War That officer re-
vised the regulations, and having
doubts in respect to some legal points
determined by the Board, referred the
report to the Attorney General, who,
after consideration, advised certain
changes The matter was again refer
red to the Board with instructions to
revise and amend the regulations. This
was done, and the amended reRniations RT
being approved by the Attorney General,
were published, and orders issued TO
carry them into effect. In the whole
procedure there was no interference by
the President or the Secretary of the
Treasury. The report was not suppressed
nor seen by either of them. The regula-
tions were prepared under the directions
of the Secretary Of War, with as much
diligence and the difficulties of the sub.
iect and the magnitude of the disburse.
ments would admit. In respect to the
order temporarily suspendiDg payment
of bounties to colored troops Congress
had manifested an anxious desire by
amendments of the act to secure these
bouptes to the colored soldiers ana
to protect him against fraudulent
agents and assignees. The amount
Of these bonnties is estimated
at nearly 20,0O0000 of dollars, the SEQ
retary Of war felt it his duty to have the
regulations of the pay department care
fully revised, go as to provide any addl'
tional checks that might secure the boun
ty to oolored soldiers, and protect the
treasury against fraud The subject
was therefore referred TO GeneralCan'
by's board, and upon their report being
made, payment of these bounties was
ordered. For the temporary suspension
of payment neither the President nor
the Secretary of the Treasury Is
| responsible. All the time taken up was
required by justice to The culored soldiers
and the public treasury, and to carry out
the manifest purpose of Congress 30 as
to protect the soldiers as far as might be
done by carefully prepared regulations
against being cheated out OF their
bounty.
By order of the Secretary of War.

From the National IntclIisencer 17th.l
The reception at the Executive Mansion
last night was one Of the most brilliant we
have ever seen. About nine o'clock the
throng in the Red, Blue, and Green Rooms
became so great that the order was given for
lighting the East Room and the opening Of
that large and commodious apartment was a
most satisfactory and effective relief 1t is
evident that the ladies of the Presidents
family, in their evenings Eat home" must
expect TO be SO besieged by troops of friends,
that all the public rooms will be drawn into
acquisition. From the hour appointed until
nearly ten o'clock there was steady flow Of
company. s H
Among those present were the Ministers
from England France, Russia, Prussia, the
Netherlands, and other members Of the
diplomatic corps, some accompanied by
the ladies Of their families. The array OF
beauty and distinction from different quar-
tiers Of the nation, including cur own city,
was particularly noticed by those most fa-
miliar with these reunions.
About 8 o'clock the President joined his
daughters in the Red drawing-room, and
received the salutations Of the crowds, that
now seemed to increase, with the ease and
aflahility so characteristic of him.
Our fair friends, perhaps, will be inter
ested in learning that the toilets were in
many instances superb. ST.
RECEPTION AT SENATOR HARRIS The
spacious mansion of Senator Harris was
thronged last night with very brilliant
company, composed ofthe most distinguished
of the beau monde. Diplomats, Cabinet Min
listers, Senators, Representatives, and their
respective families, filled the rooms; and
the enjoyment of the evening was enhanced
by the cordially and kindness which char
acterises the ladies of this mansion.
On Monday, Mrs. Secretary Harlan and
daughter received a numerous and distin-
guished company.
