ICorrespondence Of tie Baltimore Sun.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The number of bene-
hciaries OF the so-called equalization bounty act
WILL 1t ls found. be 30 inconsiderable in propor-
tion to the number of claimants and expectants
Congress, bring down upon it fierce deuunciation
For every one who receives the bounty twenty
others will be disappointed. The Radicals may
lose twenty votes by the measure where they will
gain one. To be sure, they may promise TO rob
the Treasury to greater extent next session, but
the equivalent for additional pay for members,
without which majority could not be obtained,
will be wanting.
The new army bill contains provision excu-
ding from any appointments under it all persons
who were engaged in the rebel service civil mil
tary, or naval. Thus the President can select no
pificer for tho army from the States lately in re-
bellion.
The President is expected now or immediately
after the adjournment of the Philadelphia Con-
in the Northern States, and fill them by the ap-
pointment OF national Union men. Therefor @
there is much pressure upon the President for
offices, from the highest to the lowest grade.
Some of the more lucrative Federal offices IN this
district will probably undergo ref ,rm.
The list OF appropriations by Congress at the
late session is, by law, to be completed and pub
tves within thirty days after tho close of the
sion. It will be rerused with interest, and Iurnish
q fruitful source for comment. For prodieal and
wantsn expenditure of the public moi,ey this Con-
gress has had no equal.
The National Union Executive Committee have
taken rooms at the Continental H"te Philadel-
phia, and will there assemble four days before the
meeting Of the Convention.
., The prospect is that the Convention will be- in
the number and character Of the MEMBERS the
most important that has assembled since the Con-
vention which framed the Constitution.
