Notice to Soldiers Claimants.

Notice to Soldiers Claimants.
The Paymaster General has issued
the following circular:
PAYMAsrER GENERALS OFFICE.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March %, '6S
1t is entirely impracticable for
this office to reply to the immense
number of inquiries from claimants
or their friends and attorneys, as to
the condition of delay in the aaa-
iiustment of their bounty claims,
without serious interruption to the
public business, especially in the
very matter of settling these partic-
ular claims. This printed circular
is the only response that can be
given.
All the county claims now on file
are being settled as fast as the sec
ond Auditor of the Treasury can
furnish, from the muster rolls now
deposited in his office, the evidence
necessary to determin the validity
of each claim. This information
has been applied for, and the Audi
tor is now furnishing responses to
our inquiries at the rate of about
10000 per month. At this rate it is
expected that the whole number of
claims filed or likely to be filed, will
be acted on and finally settled in the
next nine months.
When a claim is allowed, the
check is drawn to the order of the
claimant, and sent, with his dis
charge, to his attorney, or to him
self, where no attorney has been ap
pointed, and is payable only upon
endorsement by claimant, unless the
latter shall, by power attorney ex-
ecuted subsequent to the date Of the
check, authorize his attorney to act
for him. If any check is paid on
improper Endorsement, the Assistant
Treasures of the United States at
New York City, on whom all checks
for additional bounty are drawn, is
the responsible party to whom the
payee, in such case, must look for
payment. It will thus be seen that
the soldier can not be defrauded un-
less, by his own act, he places him
self in the power of his attorney

Butler on Finances.

Benjamin F. Butler has taken oc-
casion to express himself once more
on financial matters. He has been
charged with holding the doctrines
of the Pendletonian repudiators of
the West He does maintain that
the bonds are payable in greenbacks
but he does not propose to obtain
the greenbacks, wherewith to pay
the bonds, just as the western dem
ocracy propose. Instead of setting
the Treasury printing presses at
work to strike off enough legal ten
ders to pay up all the $50 bonds,
he proposes to do, it mot by issu-
ing greenbacks for that purpose and
thus depreciating their value, but
by offering new loan at low rate
of interest on a long time, one
which might be made taxable and a
desirable security because ofits per-
manency, on which the currency
already issued might be borrowed
by the Government, and It's interest
bearing securities at high rates ps,id
off according to their tener-the
practical effect Of which would be
that the holder would exchange his
bonds becoming due for this long
loan, and thus the country be re-
lieved from oppressive taxation to
pay the interest, and the bondholder
saved from the danger of repudia-
ton"
This is a very different scheme from
the wild proposition of Mr.. Pendle-
ton to issue sufficient number, say
two thousand millions ofgreenbacks
with which to cancel the public
debt. Mr.. Buffers plan, as he thus
explains it, is certainly more in
harmony with the opinions Of the
Republican party of the country,
than the views that have been at
tributed to him. (zeUelond Herald

Gen. Lees ''Loyal Institution" !"

Facts are being daily developed
which prove that Washington Col
lege, Lexington, Va, of which Gen.
R. E. Lee is President, is one of
the most virulent rebel institutions
in the land-a school for the prop
ogation Of hatred to the govern
ment and its loyal people. From
the Principal down to the humbIest
tutor, the Faculty are thoroughly
rebel in sentiment, and act accord
ingly, if we may believe Lexing
ton correspondent of the New York
Independent. 1t is only few
weeks since that Mr.. E. G. John
ston, merchant of Lexington, who
unfortunately hailed from the East,
was attacked on the North river
while skating by seventy-fve young
sprigs of chivalry, students at the
college, and severely beaten, simply
because he was "a Yankee" Mr..
Johnston applied to General Will
cox for protection, and the latter
called on General Lee, who prom
ised to prevent further outrages,
and General Wilcox was satisfied.
The students, however gave Mr..
johnson notice that if he did not
leave Lexington within specified
time, they would hang him, and
through the counsel of his friends
he did leave. In view of such facts
as these, is it not astonishing that
Henry Ward Beecher, Horace Gree
ly, Gerritt Smith, and other North
ern men will lend their countenance
and give of their means to support
such hot-bed of prescription and
embryo treason ?

Not NV Baby.

Last evening the door-bell of a
Pearl street dealer, who resides in
the West End, was rung, and on
the servant going to the door a
basket was found, with a sweet little
baby some two months old in it.
Accompanying was the following
neatly written note:
April 1st, 1868.
''SIR Herewith you will find the
babe which | am unable to support
without your assistance, and, as you
are as nearly related to it as am,
feel that you will aid me and give
me and give the little one a good
education, and treat it as well as
you do your other Children. From
what I can learn of your good heart
ed wife, she will be kind to this
dear little one for your sake, if not
for her own. May you prosper, is
the wish of your Cora"
lne reading OF this note was the
cause Of one of those domestic
scenes not easily described. the hus
bandon his knees protesting his in
nocence, and calling on the saints
in the calender to bear witness .hat
he told the truth, while his wife, as
vehemently declaring she knew it
was his child, and he need not try
to deny it, as she was certain of the
fact. 1t is impossible to tell how
the scene might have ended, had
not the faithful Benedict, at this mo-
ment, for the frs time cast his eyes
toward the cradle and found it va
cant. Like a flash the truth burst
upon him, and he acknowledged
himself sold, and that he was the
dady Of the child. The trick efthe
wife was complete, and to-day she
reigns supreme in that little mansion
The husband says that hereafter he
will not refuse to own one little one
that may be sent to him.-Cinciaa-

Origin ofthe KukIux Klan.

We are informed by gentleman
who has the, very best opportuni-
ties for knowing, that the Kuklux
Klan was conceived and organized
in the city of New York by we'll
known Tennessee Conservative. 1t
was frs put into practical working
in the town of Pulaski and was in
full play there some months since
at the time of the riot which was
examined into and reported upen
by Captain Walsh of the Freed
mems Bureau. After that it had
spread rapidly, and become very
popular among the young men of
the State ofrebel proclivities Of
the outrages which were perpetrat-
ed by this secret organization the
public, and especially our readers
are fully aware. Throughout sew
eral counties Of the State the color
ed people lead a life of constant
dread and not without foundation.
They were assaulted in their cabins ;
sometimestaken into the fields and
beaten, Or made to swear solemnly
that they would never vote the Re-
publican ticket; indeed the leaders
of the conclave seemed to hesitate
at nothing which afforded promise
of terrifying the colored people and
keeping them from the ballot-box
With their other achievements they
also combined actual theft, and
have in several counties stolen from
the colored people any guns or pis-
tolls which they chanced to have in
their possession.
Since the killing of the man Blair
at or near McWhirtersville, while
on Kukklux raid one night, there
has been throughout Middle Tenne-
see, a wonderful falling off in the
number of midnight expeditions
The members of the conclave are
men who do not court danger. AS
long as they could ride about the
neighborhood masked, pull negroes
from their beds, terrify and abuse
them with impunity, they were
ready to prowl about the country
almost every night with couple of
navy revolvers strapped to their
side. and with a swager of banditti
in all their movements. AS soon
as they became convinced through
the death of one of their number
and the rough usage sustaided by
one or two others that there was
danger in the business, in regard to
popularity it has fallen to a dis.
count. The approach, too, of the
busy season with farmers and plant
ers, and the fact that many Of the
chivalry will be compelled to hold
the plow or perhaps attend to some
other honest and laborious business
will go far to Quench out the Kuk-
lux spirit, at least for the present
Nashville Press and Times.
