LINCOLN ELucIDATEs.
Id response TO o request by the committee
on military affairs for any facts bearing upon
the relief asked in this bill, and for any aug
gestions in the premises, the secretary Of war
invites attention to report by the adjutant
general, in which the latter says:
August 25th, 1862, the governor of Minnesota
was authorized by the secretary of war to raise a
regiment OF mounted infantry to serve for term
OF three months. and October 8, 1862. the gov
ernor was informed by telegram from the war de-
partment that the mounted infantry ordered Au-
year October Is, 1862. the governor of
Minnesota, by letter. of that Gate to the
secretary of stated that the Indians having
snmed larger proportions than at first anticipated.
1t was deemed advisable by Gen. Pope and himself
10 change the term to twelve months, which had
been done, and the men were being mustered in for
that time, and by a telegram of November
3, 1852, from this office, the governor
was informed that the three months term
of the mounted infantry was changed to
twelve, requested in the letter Of October IS,
1862. The regiment was organized from October
to December 80, 1852, TO serve one year, was
designated the First Minnesota Mounted Rangers,
served against the Indians on the frontier of Min
nesota, and was mustered out of service by COM
panies at different dates from October 20
to December z, 1868. Volunteers enlisting
for one year, servrce were not entitled to bounty
prior to the act of July 4, 1864. There is nothing
of the record in the department which would sus-
tain the action proposed by this bill, and to take
such action would be discrimination in favor of
this regiment as against the same class of Volun-
teers in other States prior to July 4, 1864.
Upon this showing the committee are Of the
opinion that the bill ought not to pass, ard
they so reported to-day

Il letter from u former presiding officer
(rhnrman), in pursuance Of which a
member Senator. Eaton) temporarily
discharged the duties Of the chair without
objection. 2
Since this precedent has been regarded rs
doubtful authority, the chair, desiring to
guide his action by the judgment OF the
Senate, would feel obliged for a decis-
ion that would relieve this important ques.
tion OF its obvious embarrassment. t

fortunate that it had occurred. y sEt5
