At Harrisburg a sensation Reports reached the state authorities to the effect that the offi- cers were cheating, stealing, or by un- fair means, depriving the privates of their bounty money. The regiment was called up before the eapitol and an official, by the name of Brown, went to occurred. recruiting ascertain had over the entire regiment the amount of bounty each man received. When this com pared with the enlistment, and the amount they should have received, it found that £9,990 had been fraudulent- ly withheld from the by the various recruiting officers of this regiment. It was in this | way. Each county had to furnish its quota of soldiers, Districts gave pre- miums or bountys as an inducement | for persons to enlist from a certain dis- trict. The amounts varied in differ ent counties. Centre paid $200 bounty, | while Lehigh gave $300. In recruit-| ing company I, Centre county volun- teers were induced, by some recruiting officers, to enlist from Lehigh county and were given $20, $30 and $50 more, while the recruiting officers would generally quietly pocket the balance. One soldier told the writer that he was | thus beat out of $50, and another claims he was swindled out of $60 by the same process, This investigation caused much ex- citement among the soldiers. At the same time nearly all these recruiting officers of company I lost their com- missions, Captain Abraham Miller, who had been wearing the regulation uniform and stripes, and was expecte to lead the company into the United States service and to the front, had his commission taken from him and Capt. John McCabe, of Hollidaysburg, suc- ceeded him as company I's command- er. No explanation was made to the sol- diers then why Mr. Miller was remov- ed, but coming immediately after the investigation and this exposure—of of- ficers withholding hundreds of dollars from the privates’ bounty money —all seemed to fully understand why Mr, Miller lost his commission.
