CLAIMS FOR BOUNTY.
A Decision AIiSundsrStood-of Interest to
WeSt Virginia Volunteers.

1 -
WeSt Virginia Volunteers.
Special Correspondence Of he TnttIItGeer.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-There has beer
Q great deal Of misunderstanding in regard
to claims for bounty under the act o.
April, 90, 1872, and as consequence the
Office OF the Second Comptroller has been
flooded with letters from claimants and
attorneys from all parts Of the country, in.
cluding West Virginia. In this respect
the following decision rendered by the
Second Comptroller will be OF interest:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, !
SECOND CoNPTRoLLER's 0FFIcE,
December "a, 1885.
The fifth section OF the act OF July %,
1851, reads in part as follows:
every volunteer non.commissione1
officer, private, musician and artidCer,
who enters the service OF the United
States under this act, shall be paid, when
honorably discharged, il he shall have
served for period OF two years, or during
the war, II sooner ended, the sum OF one
hundred dollRrs."
Under this provision it ID uniformly held
that discharge for promotion 10 dis.
charge for bounty purposes, and that q
soldier who was discharged for promotion
after serving two years as an enlisted man
was entitled to receive said sum OF 500
for so much thereof as remained unpaid
at the time when he was thus discharged.
General Orders No. 10, A. G. o., series
of 1851, reads in part as tollows:
"Every volunteer non.commissioned
officer, private, musician and artifCer,
who enters the service OF the United
States under this plan, shall be paid when
honorably discharged the sum of one
hundred dollars"
Under this provision it has been hereto.
fore held that soldier discharged for
promotion is not entitled TO the bounty
therein provided for.
Obviously, the word discharged" has
the same meaning aud should receive the
same Interpretation in both Of these pro-
visions.
Upon full examination Of the matter l
am satii lsd that the practice under the
act should be adhered TO and the praetice
under the ordeS abandoned.
l hold, therefore, that soldier who was
discharged for promotion was "honorsbly
discharged" within the meaning Of said A.
G. o. No. 10; and rule 2oi the rules and
regulations adopted by the accounting
officers under the act OF April q, 1872
(page 1903, RApp's pigest) is hereby re-
scinded.
A soldier who WAS enrolled April 20,
1861, to serve three years; was mustered
into service June II, 1851, 10 serve three
years; was discharged for promotion Oc-
tnber IA, 1861, and has received no boun-
ty-the case clearly falills all the require
ments OF the act Of April %, 1872, and tho
claimant is, in my judment, entitled to
$l00 bounty hereunder.
RICHARD r. McMAuoN,
Acting Comptroller.
This decision does not apply to the case
OF any soldier who epiiSted on or after
July ", 1861, or who was actually mug
tered into service on or after August 0,
1861, or who entered the service for a
term less than three years, and it does not
apply TO cases arising under any act OF

will be apt to give President Cleveland
some annoyance. Tho book is the work
Of Buffalo man who claims to be cousin
of the President, and purports to give the
genealogy OF the Cleveland family. The
Presidents pedigree is here set forth to
show that he has desCended from long

blood in their veins. The work Is en-
bellished with the coat Of arms Of the

doubt have large sale among the mug

told thst President himself Is senOibly dis
gusted with the whole business, and VIII
endeavor to suppress the publication.

PNEUMATIC TUBES BETWEEN PARIS AND
LoNDoE.-The plan to unite Paris and Lon
don with pneumatic tubes has been re
ported on favorably by French engineers,
and submitted to the Government. II is
proposed that two pneumatic tubes be laid,
following the line of the Northern Railroad
from Paris 10 Calais. thence across the
channel to Dover, and following the line Of
the Southeastern Railroad 10 London.
Letters could be thus transmitted between
the two capitals III one hour. Wagonettes
ike those now used to transport kilograms
from Paris are to be used, weighing ten
Kilograms, aud capable Of carrying five
Kilograms weight OF mail matter. Twenty
pneumatic trains are to be started every
hour The cost is estimated to be 81 ,000,
600. The total distance is about 500 miles.

4 LOVE AFFAIE ADR0TFLY MANAGED

first time that he had an over abundance
OF wife material at his command. Mighty
nice g7rls they were, all three, and it was
with some difficulty that he finally made a
choice for himself What was he TO do

A Judgment Was delivered in the High
Court OF Bombay on the 18th Of April, after
Il trial OF fourteen DAYS, which deserves
more than loca. n0tOri-tv. The IiIrcs Of
I3iGtd says il is the most important case
that has been tried in western India for
many years. The claim was by HE son
of q HindOO millionaire, Sir MuugGllass
Nuthoobhcv, and be demauded from his
father partition OF all the family property
and an equal share The father re
fused the partition and the soH appealed
to the Hich Court The Judge who tried
the case, Mr.. Justice Scott. following deci-
sions Of the Priyy Council, ruled that
son who was a member of q Hindo0 Joint
family had an equal right with the
father and an equal share in the
family property, and could claim
partition against the fathers WlI at any
time after majority. The Judge pointed
out that such a claim was fepgobated rs
immoral by the ancient writers but s'lh
admitted as just by those OF the highest
authority in bombay. This seems an rs
tonishins decision to European minds,
bat the authorities cited by the learned
Judge show It's absolute legality IN Hindoo
law. At the same time II has struck
CONSERVATION through the wealthy iaml-
lies OF western India. The rule, no doubt,
is a survival Of The primitive idea that the
family IS an aggregate or collective unit, of
which all members have an equal interest
IN the common property. As the learned
Judge pointed our, the current ofauthority
tends 10 overthrow parental authority. and
to effect painful revolution in the family
system throughout western India II was.
also decided in the case chat property that
was not family or ancestral property but
selt-acquired, could be devised by will by q
father to his son, and that the propertv re-
tanned It's selt-acqulred character in the
hands of the son. This will considerably
diminish the danger that might arise
from an unresrained exercise of the
right now fully declared The case has
been for long time the subject Of much
discussion and great anxiety in all native
circles, and, although experts in Hindoo
law agree in the strict legality of the de-
cision, there is a general opinion that the
altered conditions of Hindoo society render
legislation necessary on the subject in
spite of the extended effect now given to
the exercise Of the testamentary power.
