There seems TO DC disposition on the
part of some Of our contemporaries in the
fourth district. TO wage bitter personal
war against those who arc supposed to be
rivals of their iavorites for congressional
honofs. Ifthis policy is pursued, it will
raise storm which they will be unable to
control, aud instead Of serving their
friends and enabling them TO obtain the
nomination, will create such bitter feelings
in our own party rs will ensure the cleo.
ton of the Democratic candidate.
We implore those who seem to be ready
and eager for the fray, TO pause. Let them
consider, before IL is too late, whether the
principles for which We have been battling
so manfully are Of such little importance
that they arc to be sacrificed for the per.
sonal advancement Of any man.
Men are nothing TO tho Republican
party. except as they can be used to carry
out iis principles. lie who IL willing to
endanger tho success Of tho party for tho
personal Advancement Of any man, Ger.
iuinly has poor estimate Of tho object
for which the ballot was placed in his
hand. lie consents 20 be the follower Of
a fiction, tho client Of enc man; he aspiles
to nothing noblor than to heap houors
upon Il layorile. God save tho FREQ In
tcligent voters Of the North from such in.
iaiuation. II has been tho bano OF tho
South, where tho people madc idols Of
their leaders, fell down and worshiped
them, aud their Ialso gods roquiIcd them
by leading them TO destruction.
Perhaps We quarrclod In the old iflh
district over our candidates without 30.
rloua results, but the experiment will not
be safe In the new fourth district, whore II
will take our whole strength 10 elect the
pominec. For our own part We intend TO
light under the banner VI the Republican
party, We shall not turn our weapons
upon our friends. At tho proper time VIC
shall give our support to tho candidate
who We think best calculated TO carry out
the principles We advocate, aud lie will
surely not be Que who enters tho field To
wage a war Of personal nnimosilles, or
Who has been uniaithful 10 his trust

The Additional Bounty.

Complaints O. the Indiana Military
Agency are ms the fall OF mama ia The
Israellto camp, of the annoying delay IN
tho payment OF tho additional bounty,
This delay causod the adoption Of reso-
luton by Congress inquiling OF the Sec.
lelarles of the Navy aud Treasury what
further legislation, It uny, was necessary
to facilitate said payments, to which they
respond with a letter FROM the Pdymaster
General, dated July llih, as follows:
80 far as relates 10 Ihis Bureau, | am
of the opinion that no further legislation
is necessary. Paymasiers aud clerks, rs
many 40 can successfully engage in tho
Work OF examining anJ paying the claims
Tor additional bounty, are diligently aud
iudGstuously so cnp,oyed. Any change
Ia the system, now IA favorable progress,

desired cad. its proper TO explain tia.
the rolls 90 which rolosence must b. had
for tho Authorization OF such h0uaty
claims have passed from thc custody oil this
office to the office vi the Second Auditor
Of the Treasury, to which they finally
pertain, for the examination and settle
mcnt of discussing officers accounts.
"fhis Bureau is therefore dependent
upon the Auditor for essential facts to be
derived from the rolls in his possession
before claims can be finally determined and
paid. The paymentsfollow just us rapid y
us the answers 10 our inquiries aroreceived
from the Auditor Wish the present IA
cilities Of this Office, the number paid
monthly could DC largely Increase Il IL
were possible for the Second Auditor to
supply US with the needed data. Whether
that officer with an increase of his clerical
force, could hasten the work in this Office,
or whether he has not already as many
clerks engaged as in the special matter of
furnishing data to us, from its nature, can
be probably so employed, are questions
properly TO be answered by himself
1t will be seen that the difficulty il, az
was generally supposed, with the Second
Auditor. AS the Paymaster- General has
thus cleared hiz department Of the rcspon.
