THE Democratic Enquirer is
very severe on bond holders.
They are a viliaihous set ac'
cording to that paper. This is
natural opinion for them. They
were of those who said "not a
man nor a dollar" and as the
bond holders are those who
furnished the "dollars" to pay
and subsist the army, this Dem
ocratic hatred is natural. They
hate every person and every
thing that helped to crush the
rebellion.

The Memphis fost says: "lhe
cool joke JOHNSON perpetrated
n sending to Congress the
message we print to day, rec
ommending honors to Gen.
HANCOCK for his conduct in
Louisiana, acquires significance
from the fact that the Shelby
vile (Tenn.) American Union,
the organ of EDMUND COOLER,
recently the Presidents Private
Secretary, and just now nOmi'
mated for Assistant Secretary
IF the Treasury, has run up the
name of ANDREW JOHNSON, for
President, and w. S. HANCOCK
or Vice President. The Presi-
dent is clearly looking for a
tail which will carry up his
leaden kite in the approaching
Presidential canvas, Shrewd
politicians are Of the opinion
that johnson has itnow in his
lower to force his nomination.
IN the Democratic ticket"
GEN. HANCOCK has reversed
Gen. SHERlDAN's order relative
to the drawing of jurors, and
by special orders he directs
that they be drawn from the
tax rolls instead Of the regis
tered list of voters.
This is the order that pecu-
liarly recommends Gen. HAN
COCK to the good graces OF
Democracy. Gen. SHERIDAN,
in Louisiana, broke down the
aristocracy of rebellion, OF
color and of property. Gen.
HANCOCK restores all three
Poverty to a Democratic mind
is a much greater crime than
treason. BY the workings OF
this order a poor man. no mat
ter whether he is white or
black, is not competent to sit
as a juror, while a rich rebel
is the one eminently qualified
for the position. And this is
endorsed by the Democratic
press of the country. They
are so anxious to push the ne
gro down that they will push
the white man down with him
provided he, like the negro,
is poor and iriendless.

Our Congressman, Hon. JOIN
7. WILSON, ever alive to the in
erests of his constituents, and
specially those who so nobly
served with him in the field
has offered The following reso.
Luton which was Immediately
adopted by Congress:
Whereas much well founded
,omplaint exists among sold
iers on account of not receiv
lug the bounty provided by
The act of July % 1868, and
whereas last session of the
present Congress appointed q
committee OH soldiers and sail,
ors bounties, to inquire into
the cause of delay which com
mittee up to this time has
made no report, Therefore,
"ReSOlued, That said commit.
tee be, and they are hereby
directed and required at the
earliest possible day to report
TO this House the result OF
their Investigations.
This resolution had the de-
sired effect. The mittee
reports that up TO December, l,
1867, four hundred ani twelve
thousand claims were FLED, OF
which two hundred and severity
three thousand remain unset
tied; that the delay, in great
part, arises from the INSULT
cient force employed, and also
from the fact that the Paymas-
ter Generals office has no con-
troll of the final muster-out rolls
of the army, and is obliged to
receive all it's information re-
garding each case from the
Second Auditors office; that in
this office, however, all has
been done that could be eX-
pected to further the work.
The Committee also reports
that the crowded state Of the
rooms where many of the
clerks are obliged to work is
disgrace to the nation. Many
cases of delay occur through
frequent losses of cheeks in
transmission through the mails,
the Assistant Treasurer in New
York refusing to pay duplicate
checks, even when notified
officially that the originals are
lost. The committee recon-
mends the passage of a bill
providing for a suitable increase
in the force employed in set
Ting these claims, and also au-
thorizing payments on dupli-
cate checks where the originals
are known TO be lost.
1t is to be hoped that there
will be no further delay in the
settlement Of these claims. 1t
is.now nearly eighteen months
since the passage of the bounty
bin and but little more than
one-half of the claims have
been settled. But who can
wonder at it when they look at
the @red tape" the committee
tell US Of in their report
THE Democratic Enquirer is
very severe on bond holders.

TPRIvATE
IIEApq'Rs ARMIES or UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, d. O., Aug. IL, 1867
His Ercellency AndreC Johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States:
SIR:-I take the liberty of
addressing you privately on the
subject of the conversation we
had this morning, feeling, as |
do, the general danger to the
welfare of the country should
you carry out the designs then
expressed.
First-On the subject of the
displacement of the Secretary
of War. His removal cannot
be effected against his will,
without the consent Of the
Senate. 1t was but a short
time since the United States
Senate was in session, and why
not then have asked for his re-
moval, if it was decided? 1t
certainly was the intention of
the Legislative branch of the
Government to place Cabinet
Ministers beyond the power of
Executive removal, and it is
pretty well, understood, so far
as Cabinet members are affec-
ted bSthe Tenure of Office bill,
that it was intended to protect
the Secretary of War, whom
the country felt great conf.
dence in. The meaning of the
law may be explained away by
an astute lawyer, but common
sense and The views Of the 10y
al people will give to it the Ell.
feet intended by its framer.
Second-On the subject OF
the removal Ct the very able
commander Of the Fifth Militia
ry District, let me ask you to
!, Oh slider the effect it would
have loon the public. He is
universally and deservedly be-
loved by the people who Sus-
tanned this t,overnmen m en- t
throughout its triais, and feared
by those who would still be
enemies of the Govern Sn'
1t fell to the lot of but lew
men to do as much against the
enemy as General SHERIDAN
did during the rebellion, and it
is within the scope of the abil.
itv of but few in this or any
other country to do what he
has. His civil administration
has gwen equal satlsfaction.-
He has had difficulties to con-
tend with which no other
District Commander has en-
countered. Almost if not quite,
from the day he was appointed
District Commander, to the
present time, the press has
given out that he was to be re-
moved; that the administration
was dissatisfied with him. This
has emboldened the oppo-
nents of the laws of Congress
within his command to oppose
him in every way in their pow
er, and has rendered necessary
measures which otherwise
might never have been neces-
sary.
In conclusion, allow me to say
as a friend, desiring peace and
quiet, and the welfare of the
whole country,N North and South,
that it is, in my opinion, more
than the loyal people of this
country q mean those who
supported the Government dur
ing the great rebellion,) will
quietly submit to, to see the
very man of all others whom
they have expressed their con-
fidence in, removed.
