MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS.
INCIDENTS THAT HAVE LATELY
OCCURRED.

An Interesting Summary OF the Moro Inn
portant Doings Of Our Neighbors-Wed-
dings and Deaahs-Crimos, Casualties,
aud General News Notos.
The following with reference to
State war bountics and the recent SUI
preme Court decision has been author
lied by the Board OF State Auditors and
will interest large class of citizens;
No State bounty was authorized previous
TO March Q, 1868. At that date an act was
passed authorizing the Governor In his dis
cretion to cause to be paid from the war
fund such sums for bounty as he deemed
necessary, not to exceed $50, to each volun-
teer, etc.
The Governor issued an order paying a
bounty of $50 TO the following list of regi-
First Regiment Engineers and Mechanics.
First Regiment Sharpshooters.
First nine regiments of cavalry.
First twenty-seven regiments OF infantry.
Batteries to NJ First Light Artillery.
Companies O, and X, First U. s. Sharp
shooters.
Companies II and 1, Morell Horse.
First and Second sharpshooters attached
to Sixteenth Infantry.
First and Second Sharpshooters attached
to Twenty Infantry.
This bounty was paid until November 10,
1853, at which date the Governor by order
No. IL, discontinued the payment of tho
bounty, and no State bounty was paid there
after until February 5, 1854. At that date
the Legislature passed law giving 500
State bounty to each person below the rank
of commissioned officer who should enlist
and be properly credited under any call or
order of the President or military authori-
ties, made or issued since the 1st day Of
January, A. ID. 1864.
Payment of bounty under this law was
made until May IA, 1864, at which date the
Governor issued an order discontinuing the
payment of bounty, and no bounty was
paid until February g. 1865, at which date
the Legislature passed law giving $3.50
State bounty TO those who entered after
that date and were properly credited. There
was law passed giving $50 State bounty to
veterans who rc-enlisted after two years
service In the company or regiment 10
which they belonged.
The decision OF the Supreme Court, re-
Gently given In mandamus case, only af-
fects those who enlisted between May IL,
1864, and February 5, 1865. The records of
the quartermaster-g generals Office show that
all other bounties have been paid. If, how
ever, any soldier enlisting at any time
other than between May IA, 1864, and Feb
ruary 8, 1865, claims that he has not been
paid his bounty, he can present his claim TO
the Board of State Auditors, and the board
will thoroughly examine the claim. But as
shown above, 1t is hardly probable that any
OF this class of claims can be paid, though
thousands of them have already been re-
ceived, fled and examined.
