forming his whole duty required by the Act OF
March ? 1885, the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
submitted the claims 10 the Auditor and Controller
whereas the law specifically provides that the
bounty shall be paid by the Comm .oner Of Inter
nal Revenue with the approval OF the Secretary Of
the Treasury. The law further stlpuates. and on
this Mr.. Henderson dwelt with force. that the Sec
rotary Is authorized TO draw his warrants for sums
necessary TO pay the bounty. which sums should
be certified 10 him by the Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue. by whom the bounty was to be dis
bursed. The Controller. who thus got the case
through the mistake Of the Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue was. Mr.. Henderson said. filled APP
parenty with desire magnify his powers and
amplify himself. and declared himself confronted
with great constitutional question. rrue IT is that
he had been instrumental officially in payment
OF many millions OF dollars under similar law. and
no prick Of conscience or doubt Of the consttu-
tionality of bounty laws had troubled him. but sud
denly he felt It incumbent him that he should
decide for the executive. legislative and judicial
branches OF the Government concerning the right
Of the law-naking power TO give protection by way
OF bounties."
The case before the Secretary could not be to
the Court Of Claims. Mr. henderson argued. be-
cause II which Congress itself had
acted. In conclusion Mr. Henderson said MIR.
Secretary, you may do one OF two things You
may send this matter TO the Attorney General to
say whether ministerial officers may, under this
mandatory law, refuse to obey IT, or YOU may send
for full and complete compliance on his part with
the provisions OF the laws. We ask that you send
il the Commissions the Controller having had
jurisdiction. We say this, because the President,
the Secretary of the Treasury and other officers Of
the Government reported as SAYING that they
will do everything possible facilitate the earliest
possible determination Of the point alleged by the
Controller to be involved in this case and the
bounty recipients cannot get into the Court OF
Claims until the officer des gnatel by statute has
