Congress and the Attorney General’s Omice. While Congress.is" tinkering the Union, and daily becomiuvg more distrected over the financial ques- tions, there are enough members spared fronr those matters: to experiment with the depariment of the Attorney Gereral, and to plunge that oftice into @ muddle as inextricable as that of our finance! A proposition is new under consideration to-wholly change the macbimery of the Attormey General's omMoe, ingisiate out.of office all those persons who alone are familiar with the ofMleial reatine, dispense altogether with the solicitor, assistant and deputy soliciters of the Court of Claims, and in their stead provide for the appointment by the President of two assistants to the Attorney General, who, with the aid of a clerk a piece, ere to perform the duties of that department. The questions coming before those assistants will be very numerous, eaceeding)y in- tricate, and will in many cases -bave impertant refereme to cases now on ‘the docket as constituting precedents in that @epartment. It is not demonstrated how the requisite tegal | talent is to be secured by the limited compengation allowed for the performance of duties that mast occupy all the attention of the appointees; nor is itehown how such assistants, however profl- cient they may be in their profession, are to famil'ar- ize themaelves in the slightest degree. with all)the cases on the docket and the precedents above re- ferred to. The impossibility of the Attorney Gen- eral understanding all the minutie of his depurt- ment is evident, and when those who have mastered by long connection with the office the detatls of its business are to be cast aside, without the least pro- bability of sieir being nominated by. President Johna- son to perferm the duties of the aew ofiees, it is nat easy to estimate all the confusion and iwemiciency that must result, A strenvous effort is being made to avert if possible this erippling of the Attorney General, and #ome hopes are entertained ef effecting a2 modiication of the plan_as it now stands. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has had these views presented to it and is cons dering the matter, but what will ve the result of their deliberations re- mains to be determined, The Ways and Means Committee and Mr. Moorhead’s Tariff Bill, The Committee of Ways and Means held a meeting to-day to consider Mr. Moorbead’s tariff bill. propos- ing new duties on iron, steel, &c., and agreed to take a vote some tivae this week as to whether it shall be reported to the House. There is not much probability, however, that it will be acted upon dur- ing the present session for the want of time, if for no o(er reason, The committee may, however, re- port a smatier bill covering a few of the articles in the present ene.

The Senate Committee en Indian Astaire bad a meeting te-day, at which the proposed treaty with tho Osage Indians of Kansas for the sale ef their lands was folly discussed. Parties were heard for and against the ratification of the treaty.

The Frawis in the Settlement of Bounties to Colored Soldiers. So maky complicated statements ‘oncerning the recently discovered frauds ia the sevtlement of boun- ties towolored soldiers have apperred, owing to the complicated character of the method of settlement of these bounties, that it may be *vorth while to give a correct account of the course through which these cla@uns go and the manner in Which these frauds are alleged to have been perpetrated, All the statements tat have been published finplicate the Pay Depart nent tm the alleged frands, ~vhereas the Pay Depart- ment ean by no possibility Pave anything to do with them. This impression has partly been made by the fact that the alleged frauds are being investigated by the Congressional committee, of which Mr. Lin- coln is chairman, which committee was origi- nally appointed to iuvestigate alleged frands in the Pay Department. The labor for which the commmitte was organized has been completed for some time past, but its report is withheld until the conclusion of the present investigation, under the impression that the examination of these frauds may be found to extend to the Pay Department. In August, 1866, Paymaster General Brice entercd into an arrangement with the Secretary of the Trea- sury, the effect of which was to relieve the Pay De- partment of all colored bounties and provide for their settlement ‘by the Treasury Department, since which time not one case of bounty to colored troops has been examined and madeap by the Pay Depart- ment. The official routine through which a claim for bounty and arrears of pay must pass to @ final settlement is as follows:—The claim is filed in the Second Auditor's office of the Treasury, and is taken up és its turn for exami- nation, A request is sent to the Bureau of Colored Troops in the Adjutant Generals office te know what data the muster and payrolls contain in reference tothe claimant. It should ‘be stated here that the regulations of the army require the following dispo- sition te be made of the muster rolls of companies:— Four muster and pay roils and one muster roll are made; one of the former is retained by the company commander, one is sent ‘to the Second Auditor and two are given to the paymaster. The muster roll, without the pay roll, is sent to the Ad- jutant General’s office. After having paid the troops the paymaster files ‘the two rolls in his possession in the Seeend Comptroller's o:tice as vouchers for the money disbursed thereon, The Second Auditor and the Second ‘Comptroller, there- fore, have the enly copres of muster and pay roils, and the Adjutaat General has the only copy of mus ter rolls filed in theirreMces. ‘The law required that be so stated on the rolls ard on his enlistment, papers, and if such ‘an entry is not made it ie as- sumed that the mam was free.

The battle ie given up entirely to the cau- cuses to. agsetable in New York, and while discus- sion ‘and wid specalations furnish each day some mew theory, there ie too little infuence exercised from Washington to give reliability to any of t he re- ports respecting the prospects of either party now ‘before the people for nomination. ‘Congress is atteaded by a small number of mem- iber8, barely enough being seen-on' the floors of tne isvo houses for the transactionof busmess. The gal- Jeries ‘are empty, and even the lobbies have became ‘uli and almost deserted. A few visitors with carpet ags and umbrellas wander about thé Capitol and chambers, over the dome, and half a dozen hacks, with ‘horses dozing as quietly ax fies will let them, stand for hours together in the hot, dusty grounds at the east front—the only signs of life around the piace. No one goes to the Capito! unless he has an axe to grind or is looking for the elephant, and the question of the Second Avditor make up a certificate of the soldier's claim and send i ‘to the Second Comptroller of the Treasury for his si¢- nature. As this officer ts made finally responsii'e for the aecuracy:of all such certificates they are criti- cally examined there by comparing them with tke duplicate rolis tm their possession. Having ‘heen pronounced correct the eertiticates are countersigned by the Comptrolter and returned to the Auditer, who sends them tothe Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau. Now, by section first of the joint resolution, passed March 29, 1867, ail bounties due to colured troops who are residents of States in which slavery existed prior to, April 1, 1561, shall be pati to the Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau and by him ‘be paid to the claimants. “7hen the certificates are received at the Freedmen's Bureau they are presented at the Pay Department and the amount called for ts paid over to the disvurs- ing oficer of the Freedmen’s Bureau. The.amount is by the latter officer deposited in the Freedmen's Savings Bank in'this city, payable to the order of the claimant or his atterney in the State where they re- side, at the branch savings bank there lecated. The manner in which the alleged frauds were perpetrated 1s stated to be as foliows:—By a collusion between the clerks and the Adjutant General's Office and the Second Auditor's Office, whose duty it #s to prepare the certificates, the claims of colored soldiers who were siaves prior to April 1, 1861, and who were consequently entitled te eniy ¢100 bounty, are made up for them as free, in which case, they are entitled to $300. These certificates cannot be detected as ‘fraudu- lent anywhere except at the office of the Comptrolier,. where, it will be remembered, duplicate muster rolls are filed. When passed by the Comptrotier as cor- rect, both the paymaster and the disbursing officer of the Freedmen’s Bureau, are justified in paying the amount demanded. When the draft from the Freedmen's Savings Bank here is honored at the branch bank, the attorney of the claimant, it is al- Jeged, pays to the latter, $100 and reserves the re- maining $200 which he deposits in the generai fund of the ring. Thus it will be seen the circheof operators is an extensive one, and must have been very eim- Giently organized to have carried on this gigantic swindle upon the government for so long a time un- detected. Their movements have not been jalto- gether exempt from suspicion, some aceount of the operations of this ring of swindlers having been given by your correspondent in these despatches about a year ago. Enough was then disclosed of the axist- ence of these. swindles to furnish the heads of the departments indicated with sufficient data to inst!- tate an investigation; butthe warning fell unheeded, as it 18 evident that the evils continued unchecked to the present time, Rumor has it that a multitude of claim agents and atiorneys are implicated, although the full extent of the organization cannot ‘be ascertained unless some one of the men com init is brought to a confe ssion. Southern Delegates to the tion Favoring Mr. Johnson’s Nomination. Ajarge number of delegates from the Soush to the Democratic Convention at New-¥erk arrived yeater- day. Many of them have called upon the President and assured him that they would vote for him in the Convention. He pays very little attention to these promises, believing that he has no chance, It is‘ Stated that he advises them all to nominate Chase.

The Sub-Committee on Retrenchment has taken some lestiinony concerning the management of the Printing Bureau connected with the Treaspry De- partment, but has not yet completed its investigation. No recommendation has, therefore, been made, stated, that the printing operations be transferres for the greater part, if not a ther, to New York. Degarture of the President's Family for Tene messee.

Aside from the leading questions iavolved inthe subject there is a great necessity of doing something that shail affect the standing of American citizens on this Continent. Attention has been so much occupied with European outrages upon our citizens that instai®ves no less offensive to eur n tional pride have occurred in South America with- out being made the subject of proper action either for redress toe the injured parues or the vindication of -our honor, The acdvices from Panama for the last two years have been fal) of complaints of injustice to our citizens and of ap- peals for some legislation to secure personal safety to American residents there. Since the success of ‘the late revolution in Peru, Americans residing in places remote frum Lima and Cadlao, where the presence of our Minister and men-of-war a/iords some guarantee of protection, have been subjected to the most siame- ful practices, such as extortion, imprisonment and the almost total annihisation of their busivess; and in one instance our Consul ~was treated by Jocal au- thorities in a manner that would have disgracet Theodorus of Abyssinia. | Jt looks very well to obtain apologies from a government for acts of aggression comiiited upon our citizens; but those apologies a) ways come late, never bevetit the parties who ma have suffered, and have no effect whatever upon the localities where such offences occur. Prompt ineas- ures in Lp send to cases in Europe would have a most salutary effect upon our relations everywhere. The lives of our citizens in Mexico were never more inse- cure taan now, and this state of things exisis throughout Central America and all along tie coast as far sputh as Payta in Peru. Englishmen and Frenchmen are treated with consideration in .con- sequence of the maintenance of their rights by their respective governments, and it is high time that Americans enjoyed the same privileges, In this connection it is not mal apropos to refer to the proposed nomination ef General xosecranz for our Mexican mission, He ie perfectly familiar with Mexican characteristics and our relations to that country, has served gallantly in tue war, and would probably receive a unanimous co: firmation by the Senate, If such a man were to be sent to Mexico there is ne.doubt that the reign of terror to which Americans axe subjected there would be speedily done away with, and at least security to live be obtained. Considerable attention has been attracted by the inducewents held out by the government of Chile, through its legation here, to persons interested in emigration. Chile is now rapidly colonizing her Soutiern districts, which include xome of the most productive regions of the world; aud the new line of magnificent steamers just established between ‘Valparaise and Liverpool, via the Straits ol Magellan, affords every facility for communica- tion with the best markets, Unusual facilities and grants are given the setulers, and any man upon going there finds himseif in possession of a fertile tract of land and all the neeessary means aud ma- terial free for building a house.

Section 102 earnestly recommends diligent atten- tion of divine service, and punishes irreverent con- duct there by court martial, Mr. WILSON offered an amendment as an addi- tioval section providing for the punishment by cashiering for conviction of gambling. Mr. JOHNSON, (dem.) of Md., asked what the Sena- tor meant by gambling. Whether he wished to cashier an officer for sitting down in his mess room and playing whist or euchre for twenty-five or fitty — @ gaine— pretty much all the amusement they ad? Mr. WILSON replied that gambling is a disastrous Vice in armies and should be broken up. Paymasters, with large amounts of government money in their possession, should not be allowed to gambie, . Mr. NyY&, (rep.) of Nev., suggested confining it to paymasters, '. CONNESS said gambling was the great bane of the servite on the Western coast. A court martial would not punish aman for betting in the ordinary way. Mr. Ferry, (rep.) of Copn., coincided in the opinions in regard t gaming by paymasters. He had known them after paying off officers to entice them into gaining and win halfneir pay. Mr. Nyw thought it would be a rather revere ‘unishment for betting a doilar.on a cockfight or a juodred dollars oo a horse race. Paymasters and quartermasters, however, should be punisned. Nr. Fexry offered a substitute confining the punishment to those gambilng for gain. Mr. Fessenxpen asked whether any one ever gambled for loss. (Laughter. Mr, WILSON knew nothing personally of gambling. He knew, however, that during the war great de. moralization resulted from this vice, many of the oificers becoming 40 demoralized as to gambie with private soldiers, Messrs, JOHNSON and Davis urged the propriety of contining the amendment to disbursing omcera. Mr. WILSON had no objection, but Mr. ComNBss and others objected Mr. BUCKALEW, (dem) of Pa. deprecated sett Heavy punishment for one offence.

It would work peculiar hardships in U Indian territories. When in order he would move to strike @ut the section, Mr, Freylinghuysen’s amendment was adopted. Mr. BoCKALEW moved to add after it the words “where the civil tribunals cannot act.’? Mr. DRAKE, ten) of Mo., had had too much expe- mence of the theatre of war to give his adherence to any such doctrine. If a rebellion should exist in Virginia and men in New York should give aid and comfort, the government should be able te put its hand on them. Or if, as has been the case, a reber- lion existed in the Gulf States and sympathizers in ‘Tennessee were giving aid and comfort the gove: should be permitted to bring them swiftly to justic Mr. CONNESS had in the meantime prepared the following amendment, to eome in after the words “court martial’:—“But such jurisdiction shall not, ‘within the United States, attach to any on dis- connected with the military service, unless the civil tribunals before which such persons weuld usually be tried shall be interrupted or impeded by war or insurrection.” Mr. DRAKE asked whether the Senator intended that offenders should be tried by their fellows of crime. Mr. CONKLING said he intended to meet the case at & place where there are courts open and ready to acti. He added to his amendment the words ‘‘or shall re- fuse to administer justice.” Mr. Ferry suggested the insertion of the words “according to the rules and usages of war.’?
