Of Interest to Ex-Soldiers,

February ). 1854, says the L,ciston
journal, the L. s. Treasury department
asked the democratic Congress for $i2j. 900
to pay boanlies due to volunteers and their
heirs. In the deficiency bill, as reported to
the House Of Representatives. no provision
was made for the payment of these bounties
The Second Auditor called attention to the
matter and stated that in consequence Of
new legislation, he estimated thas Sl00,000
would be needed for the pay of volunteers,
Sl5O,O00 for bounty TO volunteers and their
widows, etc, and 100000 for bounty under
the act Of July %, 1866. The Senate
appropriation committee approved these
amounts in the deficiency bill, but the House
non-concurred in the amendment. Finally
the matter was compromised in committee of
conference, $40, 900 instead Of Sl00,0 900 being
appropriated for pay, $4,000 instead of
100000 for bounty under the act of 1866.
and $60,00o instead OF 9l50.O00 for boun-
iy to volunteers and legal heirs. The appro.
pria,ions for bounties are now exhausted,
and payments must he suspended. There
are only a few thousand dollars left for
arrears Of pay. which will probably be ex-
hausted in three months.
