Important Bounty Decision
The proclamation of the
President OF the Sd of May,
1861, followed by the general
order of the War Department
dated May 4, 1861, called for
thlrty-nine regiments, IN all
1904 men, and promised $100
without limit of Term OF service.
On the 22d of July, 1861, Con-
gress for the first time passed
an act legalizing the procla-
nation of the President and Or
der of the War Department.
Some of these soldiers who had
served but a month or two, and
honorably discharged, made ap-
plication for bounty. The
claims were. rejected by the
Second Comptroller on the
ground that as there had been
legislation between the 4th oil
May and the 9th of August that
the act Of the 9Th of August was
designed to affect only what
had not been the subject of
legis lation, and as the act OF
July 22d, 1861, required two
years service 10 give the SOL
der a title to bounty, that the
same conditions must apply to
the troops called out by the
proclamation OF the President
and order of the War Depart.
ment.
The case was submitted to
the Court OF Claims, who decid-
ed against the ruling of the
Second Comptroller, and that
the men were entitled to boun-
ty, which decision was affirmed
by the Supreme Court. On
proceeding 10 settle the cases,
however. it was found that in
stead of torty-two thousand
men double that number had
been received into the service;
and, as the law legalized only
those called for under tue pro-
clamation, Congress recently
passed an act giving bounty TO
all.
A number Of claims had
been received by the Second
Auditor from those who enlist
ed in the three months service,
and whose organizations had
been transferred to the three
years. service. The Second
Comptroller decided that as
they did not enlist within the
time they were not entitled 10
bounty. The Adjutant General,
however, will in a letter, ex-
plain that it was the PROPOSE
ton OF the War Department to
extend the tine of their second
enlistment to the date OF entry
into the three months service,
and this class of claims will ac-
cordingly be allowed. The
whole number of claims now
filed is twenty thousand.

THE PAPER.BGsTLE.

Twas Tuesday AiEnt--
No moon shone bright,
But all was cool and shady,
A gay young gent,
Down Main street went,
Walking with a lady.
They talked Of love
He called her dove
He told OF his affection.
She heaved sigh
And turned her eye
In an opposite direction.
But what that start
Which chilled his heart,
AS if with ice encrusted?
Ahl do not blame
eve give no name)
For in Il sudden hustle,
She broke in twain
The tender string,
That held her paper bustlew

More BRITISH, DELAY.

NEW YORK, June "A Washington special
in relation to the treaty says it is understood
that request for time for a more careful con-
sideration of the supplemental article has been
made by the British government. This request
if it means anything, must mean postpone
ment OF the general tribunal, which should meet
on the 10th.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Our governments in
receipt Of frequent kilograms from London but
up TO late hour tonight nothing has come to
hand showing definite action on the part of the
British government concerning the proposed
additional article to the treaty Of Washington.
1t is known that the ministry desire modiRca-
tons, but of such character as to be inadmissble
by our government; and of this they have been
informed, According to official utterances, it
remains 10 England to accept the article as
modified, as this is the extent to which the pres
ident and his advisers are willing to 70. The
president has, as he remarked TO enqurers, sur
rendered his personal views to what he con-
sdered proper concession in the desire
to save the treaty in behalf of the financial
and commercial interests of the United States.
and to maintain peace between the two coun-
tries. There was point, he said, beyond which
further concessions would be a sacrifice of na-
tional honor; and as we had reached that stage,
it remained for England to decide whether or
not the treaty should DC abandoned Last Fri
day there was a hope of British acquiescence.
Ii such had been the case, a treaty would have
been Immediately negotiated between Secretary
Fish and Mr. Thornton, ratified by the senate
the same day, forwarded 10 London for
further official action, and thence dis
patched to Geneva in time for the
meeting of the tribunal of arbitrator
on the 18th inst. But it is now too late TO ac-
complish the object by that time, as the treaty
could he transmitted only by mail. The agent
of each party. is required TO deliver, in dnpli-
cate, to each of the arbitrators aud to the agent
Of the other party, written or printed argu-
ment showing the points and referring to the
evidence upon which his government relies; aud
this will be done by our agent irrespective of
the unsettled question between the two govern
ments. 1t remains to be seen whether there will
be any interruption Of tue proceedings before
the tribunal by the British ministry.
The arbitIators have the power to all
Journ on the 10Th instant to such day as they
may think proper, in order TO accommodate
themselves TO the circumstances Of the business
before them, or to await further action of the
two governments, should there be prospect of
reconclling present differences. 1t Is the Opin-
ion OF eminent gentlemen that the new treaty is
not absolutely necessary 10 adjust the difficult
| ties, as this may be done by the two nations by
Instructions TO their respective agents aud
| counsel, While there Is no present prospect of
coming to satisfactory understanding on the
proposed new article, it cannot be said that il
has failed, as negotiations are still pending

Key WEST, June 2.--Letters received from
Havana, dated Friday morning, say that prep
arations were secretly made by the volunteers to
attack and burn the Spanish bank and exchange
offices, on Thursday evening, while the process
sion OF corpus Christi was passing through the
streets. Gen. Ceballos, having received warn
ing, had a battalion of marines, over 500 regu-
lar officers and their servants, and a company of
volunteer cavalry composed of Cubans, ready
to fall on the conspirators should they attempt
to carry out their plot. On the morning in
question the president of the Spanish bank is
sued proclamation defending the institution
from the charge of specializing in foreign ex-
change and of raising the rates. declaring that

yond the control of the bank. which really suf

procession took place, but the streets were de-
serted by spectators.

gar Stuart succeeded in landing a cargo of war
material for the interior in safety. Cespedes

principles of the party.
New YORK, June 2 "A Times special from
Philadelphia says the New York delegation will
be there entire on Monday, and Tuesday morn
ing will select chairman of its select committee
men and come to some determination as to vice
president. There appears to be some division of
sentiment among the delegates as to this, and it
is thought that Henry Wilson will have a large
vote among them. Collax also has strength,
and will probably receive nearly half on the
first ballot.
VIM. ID. Bickham of the Ohio delegation has
arrived, and announces that Mr.. Craghead has
a letter from Gov. DeniSon withdrawing as
candidate; and that ColaX will receive the
vote of nearly the whole of this delegation.
The viee-presdency is dubious; and although
just now the contest lies between Coiax and
Wilson, 1t is difficult to say who will be chosen.
The Connecticut delegation has determined TO
bring forward Gen. Hawley, and he may be a
compromise candidate.
