have called up your case at the Office OF
the Second Auditor, and find that your
claim was rejected In accordance with the
provisions Of law which provide for pay
ment of arrearage bounty only in case OF
death from wounds. The law must be
amended to cover death from disease con-
tracted in the service before your claim
can be allowed. / think the law ought TO
be so amended, and have so urged upon
the Committee of Congress in charge Of
these matters. find that all the South =

OF the doors, and as some others agree with
them, it is doubtful whether I can get the

DINGLEY HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY ON
THE SUBJECT.
OxFoRp. May srd, 1882.

OXFORD, May Srd, 1882
To the Editor OF the oxford Democrat:
Some few weeks ago sent communi-
cation to you in regard to back bounty and
pension business. At that time | was very
much puzzled 10 know where to place the
blame for the dlsallowanceSof bountles TO
veteran soldiers.
But now think that have solved the
mystery. think that We can safely charge
1t TO the account OF the Second Auditor OF
the Treasury Department, and 10 Andrew
Johnson, the then acting. President.
| find, by looking over the rules and reg
ulations OF the Treasury Department, that
there are six Auditors. And 1t IS the duty
OF the Second Auditor 10 adjust all ac-
counts relating to the pay, clothing, and
recruiting OF the army, and those relating
10 the Indian Department, and report the
balance 20 the Second Controller. Which
I suppose is 1nal, unless the claimant APP
peals TO the Court OF Claims and COM
mences an action against the Government
In order 70 sustain his rights, land II lie
does, the chances are ten 10 one against
HIM. There are not many soldiers who
can command money enough TO commence
an action. Therefore, the poor soldiers
have TO submit TO the injustice that the
executive officers OF our Government have
done them and their heirs, In adjusting
their claims.
| cannot see that we can blame Congress
for the disallowance of the veteran soldiers
bounty, for there was not any Congress in
session at the time the dIsallowance was
made, according To the statement OF the
Second Auditor 10 me on the return o: my
application for my sons bounty. The
Second Auditor says the disallowance was
made on the 30th day OF October, 1865. II
that be the case, Congress could not have
had any hand In the matter. Therefore, the
whole blame must come on the Executive
Department, and It appears the Second
Auditor was the only man who had con-
troll Of that part OF the business. There
fore, think that the man who filed the
place was a man after Andrew Johnson's
own heart, and he committed the act by
Johnson's own command. For we could
not expect any better OF Johnson. think
he was as much OF rebel at heart as Rob-
ert +. Lee was.

GOVERNOR PLAISTED AS A GREEN
BACkER.

There is something almost patheticaly
ludicrous IN the anxiety displayed by Gov.
Plaisted lust now TO convince the Green
hackers that he is their Town true love,
and that he will never do any flirting with
the naughty Democrats. or course he is
willing that Democrats should vote for
him,-and undoubtedly argues that they
will do so in spite OF any manner of con-
temptuous treatment by him in public
but he wants particularly TO allay the sus-
picions of former Republicans who have
become Greenbackers, and to assure them
that he is above all bargains, trades or
compromises with the Democrats. In
this line he has put forth the following let
ter to Major Samuel A. Berry, Chairman
OF the Greenback State Committee, which
the Democrats are expected TO swallow
without blinking:
AUGUSTA, Feb. %, lSS2.
DEAR SAM wrote you last evening. since
which | have been thinking OF the coming
campaign. | want you as chairman OF the
Greenback State Committee To know one
thing and remember it: that IL Is not necessa-
nv that should be elected next fall; that con-
sideration must not be the controlling one, 10
compel us 10 let down a hairs breadth from
the principles OF our party. In my Inaugural
Address, tried TO express the sentiments Oh
the plain people whose habitations are on the
crossroads and back-lots. IL we lose sight OF
their interests, what better are we than pub
licans and sinnersl" We are now 10 be tempt
Ell and tried, as we have been before, only
more so, perhaps. Our campaign must be
battle for principle; the equal principles for
which cur party contends are equal lights,
eouai burdens, equal benefits and special priv
ileges to none, against banks OF issue and a ma
tional debt, against corporate power and the
money power and all MISUNDERSTANDING all
who believe with us to fight with us. No bar
gains. no trades, no compromised Do you
hear that: No more scrabble for Office, or the
spoiIs of victory. The people will have no In.
terest in such a contest. You are AT the mead
ALI Won need TO do Is TO act up TO your convic-
tions 10 represent the Greenbackcrs. Never
Weld your convictions. Sink or swim, sam,
we will stand by the Greenback colors, invit-
ing all, repelling none.
Yours for the Cause,
ii. NJ. PLAIsTED.
