the Ou1ys
The Commercial backs down from its defence
Of Marshal Dunn, for importing repsaters to Will
m,ngton two years ago; but rather compliments
him for s.mmon,ng negroes from all parts OF the
Stats to attend the q. s. Court as jurors. 1t says
mo man of sense need be ashamed of the half
dossa Intelligent, respectable coored men, who
wsss summoned upon the jury"
Rsrs IL 10 admitted that there we're half dozen
negroes On one jury. In the name of common
ssuss y that not enoueh3 When have we seen
iusy With . half dozen Germans or a half dozen
1rishmen on itp
But the Commercial adds, these half dozen ne
gross were "intslligent" aud .'respectable." We
doubt whether the editor enjoyed the society OF
the negroes long enough to assure himself Of the
truth Of what he says. We have heard it sug-
gsstsd that the negroes as Jurors were neither "n-
tsllieent" or respectable" And we have no
desbt that they were unfit for so responsible po-
dtion.
We once saw q Republican lawyer in a case
ohallsngs every Radical that was on the jury; and
As subsequently declared that he feared that those
party men were 90 preJudiced that they could not
rsnder IN unbiased verdict. Now, we assure the

The Payment OF Rounties

A misapprehension exists as to the law for
the payment of bounties to troops enlisted un-
der the proclamation of the President, dated
May, 3, 1861. The order of the War Depart
ment carrying out the proclamation, called for
fort yregiments, making and aggregate Of for
tv-two thousand and thirty-four men, and
promised in addition to pay and travelling al
Iowances, bounty of one hundred dollars to
each man honorably discharged. On the 22d
of july, 1861, Congress passed law authoriz-
ing bounty to oil honoaably discharged sol
diers, who had served two years. The soldiers
who entered the service under the pToclama-
ton of May 3, and order of May 4, 1861, and
we're discharged in few months, claimed that
thew were promised the bounty without imi-
tation as to the time In actual service, they
were entitled to bounty, as both the proclama-
ton and order had been sanctioned and made
legal by the act Of August 6, 1854. The Sec
ond Comptroller held that as there had been
intermediate legislation on the subject VIZ: the
act of July %, 1861, which required two years
service as a condition precedent to the payment
of bounty the act of August 6, 1861, legal
lied only what had not already been the sub
iect of legislation by Congress, and that eonse-
ouently two years service must be required
of these soldiers before the would have lega
claim TO bounty. The Court of Claims anC
Supreme Court overruled this decision OF thC
Comptroller.
On investigation it was found that insteaC
/ Of forty-two thousand and thirty-four men
| called for by proclamation Of the President o!
May Sd, the War Department had actually
accepted into service over eighty thousand vol
uuteers who enlisted for three years between
May 8, and July D. 1851. AS the decision o
the Supreme Court applied only to the mel
called for by the proclamation and order o
May, 1861, and as it was utterly impossible
for the Adjutant General to designate the par
scular forty-two thousand and thirty-fou
men accepted under it further legislation b
Congress was found to be necessary before
could be made, It will be observed that tn
bill now before Congress applies only to vol
unteers who enlisted for three years between
the dates named, viz: betwssn May 3 and Jul
l2s, 1901,
