“ Veteraiiß” and their Bounties.
Everybody knows that there is a great deal of de.
lay and difficulty in securing enough men to fill the
quota of the city, owiog mainly to the rule, pre
scribed by the War Department, the burden of our
own municipal machinery, and the want of a elear
comprehension of what Is to be done, as well by
those who are to get as by those who are to give the
local bounty. Standing right face to face are the re
eallsted veterans and the city or county treasurers,
the former with their rolls, the latter with their mo
ney, and yet an impassable barrier of red tape, an
unfathomable screen of official .mystery and rou
tine, a deep chasm of forms and orders, and credits
and muster-in rolls and certificates, keep them in the
most tantalizing way just out of each other’s reach-
In order to he justified in paying a looal bounty,
there must be furnished such evidenoe as will satisfy
the local provost marshal of the fact of a credit on
thy quota of his (Sistiiet or any part of it. But,
wherever men aie re-enlisted or remustered out of
that district, .11 the evidences of such a oreilit must
go.up to Washington, which is to the whole volun
teer rorce what our dealing house is to the banks,
and thence come down again through tortuous chan
nels to the local provost marshal. Until he is sa-
tisfied of the fast and gives the credit on his books,
it would be his duty, at any time when a dratt is or
fiend, to enforce it on the basis of his own records,
and until these are made up, there is no safety in
pacing local bounties, and no assurance of credit on
the quota, from men. re-enlisted in the field. Our
neighbors, in New Jersey, however, have an abiding
faith ' n the force Of the almighty dollar, and their
lakt exploit is recited in the subjoined article from
the Daily Advocate , ol Jersey City, February 19,
186 H.
On the strength of orders from Washington, allow
ing "veterans ” to be credited wherever they were
paid local bounties, the Jersey City authorities have
quietly gone Into the market and bought up the
“Budetails,” or lßt Pennsylvania Bines. This regi
ment, or what Is left of it, Is one of the best, II not
the very best, In the old Reserves, an organization
peculiarly Pennsylvanian, and entitled to the high
est reward that their old services and their new
pledges can get. It is plain that no one'antiolpated
such a somersault as this, and it .is far from deal
even now that a Pennsylvania regiment can re.en
list and convert itself into a part of the new Jersey
quota, and be so received. But, whatever they can
do, or whateverthe result of this particular Instance,
it should serve as a warning to us and to other
Pennsylvania regiments. Prompt steps should be
taken, at least as deeisive as those ol the Jersey City
Oounellmen, to convince our veterans that they are
entitled to the largest local bounties, to payment
with the least possible delay, and to terms within
their own State not seoond to an; from without-
Of the lots in reputation to a regiment which thus
disfranchises itself; of the loss in looal assistance to
the families left behind by the men themselves; of
the complications in election and other privileges of
a shifting citizenship of this sort, there la no need to
spesk here and now. The questions involved are
very grave and serious, and for the present we are
content to point simply to the following:
LFrom the Jersoj City Advocate. 1
“At 10 o’clock this morning Mayor Romar noti
fied Captain Hopper and the recruiting agents that
they need not reoruit any more men for this city,
the quotas of 693 men on the July caU and of 603
men on the October call being now filled! Seven
teen men were recruited and sent to Trenton this
morning.
“ Besides this city, the towns of Bergen, Green
ville, and Bayonne have filled their quotas, these
being the only places in the eounty that have offered
a bounty.
“The inhabitants of Hoboken. Hudson City, Harri
son, North Bergen, Union, West Hoboken, and
Wtebftwken not having offered any Inducements,
are left out in the cold, and will undoubtedly be un
der the necessity of submitting to the conscription
act after the 10th of March.
<* Captain Hopper desires us to state that as there
are now no bounties offered in this county he is pre
pared to enlist men for other pans of. the State,
where the largest inducements are offered,
* l A few days since, our wide-awake citizen, Ex-
Aldeimau, Ex-Recorder, Thomas E. Tiiden, and at
present Recruiting Agent, paid a visit to thd army
with au eje to business. He visited the First Regi*
ment Pennsylvania Rifles, known as the ‘Back
tails,” and Becured sixty-five men from am.ong them
to be credited to Jersey City. On Saturday, the
speoial committee of the Common Council on en
listments drew the required amount of money
($22,760) and proceeded to Bristow Station, where
the Bucktails are now stationed, and paid the city
bounty of $350 to each of the sixty-five men. The
committee arrived home last night, having recruited
twenty-five additional men from the Buektail Regi
ment, and will again return to the army to pay them
the bounty* They are a noble set or men, and as
brave and daring as any soldiers in the field.
“ At the time of the seven-days l flghton the Pen
■ insula, the brigade to which they belonged were sta
tioned in rifle-pits on a side hill, in front of whioh
jKag-SLCieek &nd miry- ground, and located. %fiout
one mile in the rear of MeohaaiosvUio. They were
attacked early in the afternoon by an overwhelming
force, under Stonewall Jackson, which mada rper*U
tenifeffortr/up to 3 o’clock at night, to dislodge them,
without effect. About 4 o’clock, the next morning
(the day of the Gaines’ Mills battle), General
McClellan went upon the field, and ordered their re
treat, whiah they did very much against their will,,
asserting that they were able to hold their position,
and would do it if General McClellan would grant
them permission.”
CiisiiGyMEif von tsb Asst.-During the past
few week, a number of eminent clergymen of this
city, -New York, and Brooklyn have visited the
Army of the Potomac, under the auspices of the
United States Christian Commission, for the pur
pose of preaching to our soldiers. Among those who
have gone down and returned are Rev. J. ’Wheaton
Smith, Eer. S. P. Henson, Rev. A. O. MoAuley,
Bey. F. L. Robbins, and others, of this eity; Rev.
J. B. Davis, of Brideßburg, and Rev. Dr. Rockwell,
of Brooklyn. These have all returned highly pleased
with their visit, and apeak encouragingly of the
moral and religious condition of the army and of the
demand among the men forreUglousandgood secular
reading matter.
The Christian Commission has established a
preaching station at Gen. Meade’s headquarters,
which was orened a few Sabbaths ago by Rev. Dr.
Rockwell, of Brooklyn.
We understand it is the intention of the Commis
sion to keep this station fully supplied with some of
the most eminent ministers*of this city and else
where. Rev. Alfred Cookman, well known in this
city, now of New York; Rev. Mr, Hatfield, and
Rev. Mr. Watkins, of Brooklyn, eminent ministers
ol the Methodist Episcopal Church, passed through
the city, on Friday last, on their way -to the Army
of the Potomac. {Our soldiers deserve the best pulpit
tslent of the country, and this effort of the Christian
Commission to supply them with such 'is iu keeping
with all their exertions on behalf of the defenders
of the Union, -
The Almaden Quicksilver Case In the
Supreme Court.
The argument of the quicksilver ease, which occu
pied all of the last week, will not be finished till
Tuesday or Wednesday of the present week. The
case iB a complicated one, not only In the facts and
law involved, but in the technical questions of prac
tice inherent in the peculiar jurisdiction given to the
court over land titles in California and other tern
tqry acquired of Mexico. The quickailver oompany
claim the mine in controversy under a grant to
Charles Fossatt, which the Supreme Court has
pronounced valid, and whfch has been ordered to
be suiveyed within certain exterior boundaries.
When this survey by the Land Office Surveyor,
defining metes and bounds, and so laid down as
to include the mine, came before the United States
District Court of California foreonflrmatlon, oertain
ether parties intervened under the statute to object to
so much of the survey as embraced the mine.
Among them was one Berryesea, who insisted that
the mine was on laud granted to him. The Dlstriot
Court did not confirm the Fossatt survey, but,
among other changes therein, it modified the east
ern boundary line so that the mine was thrown
out, and to the eastward of the Fossatt grant.
To this deorce of the District Court, Fossatt
: of course took exception, and appealed to the Su
preme Court. The oase is entitled Charles Foisatt
et al. vs. United States. The United States, although
claiming in the court below that the mine belonged
' neither to Fossatt, Berrye>ea, nor any other private
person, but was publio property, yet did not take
exception to decree there made, and it is now urged
that thereby tbe Government has no standing In
court here. The Attorney General, however, has
been permitted to present argument for the United
States.
Since the decision of the court iu California, the
quicksilver company have purchased the Berryesea
interest in chief part. This grant to Berryesea,
however, has not been surveyed or confirmed, and as
yet there Is ho title in' him or his heirs from the
United States. \
The quicksilver company rely in the present trial,
first, upon throwing out the United States, because
no appeal was taken; and when the Government is
exoluded the contest, it is claimed, is between Bcr
ryesea and Fossatt, both of Whose interests the com
pany own; so that whether the Supreme Court say
the mine belonged to Fossatt or Berryesea, the com
pany Is safe.
The difficulty with that theory seems to be that,
in order to give the mine to Fossatt, the' Supreme
Court must make itself a survey or, and lay down
boundary lines. The company asks the Supreme
Court not only to say that the oourt below was
wiong in defining the eastern boundary as it did,
tfnt, in addition , to mark Out the correct boundary.
That would seem to be the duty of the LlUld Office,
'and not of the Supreme Court, and the appeal should
have been to the Secretary of the Interior. The
Supreme Court has.the power to reverse the decree
below, or affirm It, but has, says the Government,
no right to usurp executive functions, and become
surveyors.
Again, if the Supreme Court should sustain the
decree of the court below, then tne mine is on the
Berryesea grant, which must be surveyed before a pa
tent can be issued, and that survey must he eon,
firmed by a court where the United States can inter
vene and be a party to resist for years the confirma
tion.
Altogether, the case bristles with points, and no
man can with certainty prediet the end. The coun
sel of each side are confident their respective voices
will prevail, and speculators take the cue from
them, and assume to be well informed. To risk mo
ney upon tbe decision of the eourt would literally be
" going It blind.” —Washington Chroniele.
The Cars.
To the Editor of The Press;
Sib : I have ridden upon the Arch-street and Fair
mount Passenger Railway every day forneara year,
and have had no fault to find with, any arrange
ments of the company; but I must confess that the
time has arrived when others, ss well as myself,
have just and suffislent osuse for complaint. I
allude to the manner in which their cars are now
run, viz: some cars run all the way through from
Fairmount to Second street, while others only run
to Twentieth and Arch streets from each end of tha
road, thus causing passengers to change cars. Can
it be possible that we are retrograding! Are pas
sengers to be dumped out of a car at Twentieth and
Arch streets in all kinds of weather, and stand seve
ral minute, expoied to a pitiless storm waiting for
another to take them home 1 Hare they the right to. do
this thins I Does not their charter stipulate that
they shall oarry passengers from Fairmount to the
Exchange, or, at least, to Seoond street, without
ohangeof carsl If their charter does hot say so,
their patrons will; and 1, for one, will ride upon
son » other road until the eyil is remedied. -
