Soldiers Bounties-.nyestigaii0n.

GEN. UALBERT +. PAINE, one of our
Representatives in Congress. in con
cert with other members of the House.
have applied for and received the ap-
pointment of a Committee for the pur-
pose Of investigating the cause of the
great delay in the payment Of extra
bounties due soldiers.
At the commencement of the last
session Of Congress. the House Of Rep
resentatives adopted resolution. d.
reeting the secretaries of the Treasury
and Of War to inform that body wheth-
er additional legislation was necessary
10 expedite the payment of the extra
bountics. The answer they received
from the Second Auditor and the Pay
master-general, was that no legisIa-
ton was necessary. and that it would
take at least three years to complete
the payment
Gen. PAINE. in letter to Governor
FAIRCHILp, says:
The Information that the Second Auditor
had IN his Office $4,000 mUster-out rolls for
the year 1865, and therefore 10000 in all.
led me and, think. many other Representa-
tlNeS, t. doubt whether IL was certain that
only forty five clerks could be EMPLOYED in
their examination. I could not see why
each clerk must have 5000 rolls I could
not see why, with sufficient office room and
labor properly systematized 500 or even :
upo clerks might not be employed in the ex-
animation of $50, 600 rolls. | did not regret
that the House resolution was defeated in

DRowNED.-Gen. ROBERT a. Gu
MORE, Postmaster at Chicago. was
drowned IN Lake Michigan, last week,
by the caPsizing and breaking up of a
small boat which he was attempting
to manage after dark.
LATER.-The Chicago papers note
the finding, accidentally discovered on
" ednesday by a sailor, of the body of
Postmaster Gilmore, of Chicago. 1t
was found floating between the rail
road track and outer breakwater.-
There is mystery about his death,
arising from the fact that when last
seen he was going home, and that the
fragments of his boat look as if it had
been run into.

Stanton Suspended.

President JoHSsoS, fearing 10 ex
ercise the power Of removal, has sus-
pended Secretary STANTON and called
General GRANT to the discharge of
the duties Of Secretary of War until
the meeting Of Congress.
The President undoubtedly had a
double object in this act-to rid HIM
self Of Mr.. STANTON, as a member Of
the Cabinet, aud to injure the popu-
larity Of General GRANT, who is look
ed upon as the probable candidate of
the Republican party for the Presiden-
cy- The main object, the President
has IN view at the present time, APP
pears to be TO promote the interests
of the Democratic party, preparatory
10 the approaching Presidential cam
paign; but his acts are 50 repulsive to
the people that he Injuries the cause
he would advance Mr. STANTON has
ever sustained the reputation of
faithful, competent Secretary of War,
and as his suspension is unaccompanied
by any charge of malfeasance IN office,
IT only sinks Mr.. JOHNSON lower in the
estimation Of both Republicans aud
Democrats. Gen. GRANT is too we'll
skilled IN military tactics to allow the
President to out-general him, and we
should not be at all surprised if ANDY
found himself as badly out-nanked IN
his political schemes as Gen. LEE did

the subsequent deliberations of the COM
mittee.
4. That all illusions, coming from what
ever source, charging this Faculty with in
trigue, with an attempt to derive pecu-
mary benefit from the State, or with a
wish to force themselves unfairly on the
University, are unbecoming in sentiment
and unfounded in fact.
S. That the question Of consolidating the
two schools of medicine owned by the
State should be considered by the Legis-
ature with an eye single to the interests
of the Commonwealth, and not to favor
individual convenience or local prejudices.
Whatever may be the result of their de-
Iiberations, this Faculty is really "self-
reliant and self-sustaining." 1t has never
individually received any pecuniary aid
from the State, and yet has kept more
medical students within its confines than
the medical department of the University,
with an annual endowment of $4,000
large proportion Of whose pupils have
found their way to northern colleges.
