This bounty was paid until November 10,
1863 at which date the Governor by order
No. IL, discontinued the payment OF the

after until February 5, 1864. At that date
the Legislature passed "A law giving 500
state bounty To each person below the rank
OF a commissioned officer who should enlist

order OF the President or military authori-
ties, made or issued since the 1st day OF
January, A. D. 1864.

1884, and February 8, 1865. The records OF

OF this class OF claims can be paid, though
thousands OF them have already been re-

"A Lansing dispatch says: "a deci-
sion filed by the Supreme Court to-day
intimates that string of untaxeu float
ing saloons may be stretched all around
the Michigan shore of the great lakes
without fear Of hindrance. The case
in question is thoroughly unique. In
July, 1850, Felix Bouchard anchored the
scow Ida May in Saginaw Bay, half q
mile from the west shore and opposite
the township of Bangor, and opened a
regular bar. The maritime saloon did a
rushing business until its proprietor was
brought before the Bay County Circuit
Court on the charge of selling liquor
without paying the State tax. Bouchard's
defense was that Bangor Township did
not extend beyond the shore line, and
that he consequently had not been en-
gagged in selling liquor in any township,
village, or city in the State; therefore
he could not be required TO pay a tax,
and had not violated the law. He was
convicted, but appealed TO the Supreme
Court. That body, in the decision given
to-day, holds that the respondents claim
is good, and that the boundaries of sur.
veycd townships extend only TO the shore
line, according To the Government sur
