Two Decisions Regarding the
End of the War.
Something That is Causing Consid- =.
cradle Discussion lust Now.
II the Decision Stands IL Will Affect
Many Pensioners.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The question as
tothe date of the termination Of the civil
war, raised by Assistant Secretary Rey-
nolds OF the interior department, in re-
cent pension decision, has given rise 10
considerable discussion. The case in ques-
tion was that OF John Barley Young,
q soldier Tho had entered the army April
10, 1866. He applied for pension under
the three months service act, claiming
that the war did not terminate until
August 20, 1866, when President johnson
by proclamation announced that peace
had been restored. Secretary Reynolds
held that actual hostilities ceased in July,
1865, nine months before Barley Young en-
listed. He said further:
at Is not believed that Congress in
tended 10 pension those whose rendition
of service, military or naval, had no con-
nection whatever with the belligerent
operations of the war, who were not upon
the theater of the conflict, and had no.
thing to do with the objects and pur poses
OF the war"
For these reasons, the claim was dis
allowed. The effect of the decision is to
exclude a large number OF persons, who
entered the service between July, 1865,
and May, 1866, from the operations of the
pension law.
Since the decision was made, 1t has been
ascertained that the Supreme Court, in
December, 1867 held that the war did not
terminate until the date OF the Presidents
proclamation on August 20, 1866. The
case then deci@ed was under the "Cap-
tured and Abandoned Property" act,
which authorized loyal owners of such
property to bring suit for its recovery in
the court OF claims within two years
after the suppression of the rebellion.
The court held expressly that the ques-
tion of the date OF termination OF the
war was nosto be left TO each claimant to
settle, but was TO be determined by some
formal public act of government; that
the first official declaration on the point
was the Presidents proclamation; and
that Congress had expressly adopted this
date as the one on which the rebellion
ended.
The opinion closes as follows:
"As Congress, in its legislation for the
army, has determined that the rebellion
closed on the goth day of August, 1866,
there Is no reason why it's declaration on
this subject should not be received as
settling the question wherever private
rights are affected by it,"
In view of this decision and the large
number of pensions involved, the Barley
Young case will probsb bly, be reopened.
