The letter requires the sub- scription of $1,000 to be returned unless the money be applied in accordance with the reso- lution under which the committee were ap- pointed. The committee are distinctly charged,. moreover, with “entering upon proceedings in- compatible with the purpose of their appoiat- ment.’”’ The money is returned without expla- nation, which is a tacit admission of the charge, and the sum of $1,000 is equally divided by. Belmont & Co. between the Irish Brigade and the Corcoran Legion. The return of the money, under the circumstances, is tantamount to a refusal to apply it “toward the fund for en- couraging enlistments under the recent call of the government.” We think the Secretary of War is called upon to break up a club that, to say the least, is of doubtful loyalty—aciub which has already called upon. all “residents of this city who are willing to join such a corps to communieate their names and residences to some member of the committee.” Will the government permit such proceedings as these te go forward while the country is laboring in the throes of civil war, and so many men have been incarcerated whose alleged offences: are Three hundred of the rebel prisoners at Camp | kansas.
