BountieS.

Just prior to adjournment, Congress
was considering "a resolution for the
protection of soldiers and their heirs"
Some anxiety has been manifested by
those interested concerning the fate of
the measure. The purpose of the reso-
luton was to secure the payment of
bOunties directly to the claimants them
selves, instead of agents or ATTORNEYS.
a rumor was generally spread that this
resolution had failed, and in the hustle
OF business during the last days of the
session it seemed probable that it been
overlooked or not reached, and TINS the
report gained credence. 1t is now posi-.
lively stated that it passed both Houses
and on the 10th of April was signed Inv
the President. We give below the text
of the resolution. Some doubt arises as
to the precise meaning of the third ser.
tisn, but the Second Comptroller has
given instructions that hereafter in
paying soldiers claims, two checks shall
be given, one to the agent or attorney
for the fee allowed by law, and the
other sent direct to the soldier for the
remainder due. The fees allowed tc
agents have been materiallyireduced.

The Interview Between Grant md
Lee,

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives some par
ticulars as to the late interview between
the President and General LEE. From
these it appears that the conference was
longer than has been reported, lasting
nearly an hour. While the interview
was of a polite and courteous character
there was manifested on the part Of
each certain reserve, and there was the
utmost dignity preserved. No reference
was made to their relative position:
during the war, but after the ex
change of personal civilities the conver
sation turned on the condition of the
South and the present aspect of affairs
in Virginia. General LEE made several
suggestions, at the request of the Presi'
dent, respecting the submission of the
new Constitution to the vote of the
people, and thought it important that
they should have the right to separate
vote on the disfranchising clauses, and
there should be separate votes on
clauses affecting the local interests when
railroads and other internal improve
ments are TO be made. Gen. LEE favors
the Fifteenth Amendment, and approves
of the recent Conservative Convention
at Richmond. He does not believe that
the enfranchisement of the negro will
work such prodigiOus harm as has been
predicted by leading men North and
South. He holds that it is of the first
Importance that not enly Virginia, but
all the Southern States, should be in
practical accord with the Federal Gov
ernment, and haye full representation
in both Houses of Congress, and when
that is effected all collateral and minor
questio ms will adjust themselves salts.

Spring Suits.

The Cincinnati Commercial has New
York special stating that JOHN RUSSELL
YOUNG will soon start West for tht
purpose of suing each and every papeI
for S1O0,OOO damages that published the
SUMS expose. He couldn't very well pay
higher compliment to the papers OF
the West than to imply by such suits
that they were worth 100000 each
As the journals of this vicinity only
published summary of DANA's charges
against him, he ought to be willing to
condense his charges against them and
take about what an intelligent West
Virginia jury would allow-say one
cent and no thanks.

The YirEinia Election.

The impression prevails that the Vir'
ginia election will not take place until
between the 18th and Goth of July, Sc
as not to interfere with harvest opera
tions. This is thought to be the plan
of the Administration. 1t is clearly in
the interest of the Conservatives, for the
class of people who support the WELLS
mo Oement are chiefly Of the scalawag
and vagabond element, who know nei'
ther seed-time nor harvest so far as
honest labor is concerned.

Significant.

We see that the work towards remov-
ing the distractions at He'll Gate en-
trance to New York harbor has been
abandoned for the present.
1t is worthy of remark in this cOnnec-
ton that BUTLER is going to New York
to prosecute the YOUNG-DANA salt. 1t
will reassure him to know that there
will be no such removal of distractions
from the Internal gates as will facilitate
a diabolical exit and satanic visit.
