The third auditor says that the provisions of the act authorizing reim' ursement to the cost of raiding troops, according to the rules and practice of the account ing ollicers, have extended only to the cost of the troops muster ed and received into or actually employed in tho service of the service of the United States, at the request or under the author ity of the president or the secre tary of war. when the slate claim appears to have been for expendi tures on account of state troops or home guards: that congress has ma lo no provision for repay- ' ment to the slates on account -f bounty and relief bonds being is- ; sued to volunteers; thai as the ! United States is not liable to the j state for any part of the prinei- j pal, there can l o no possible I ground for the claim for intero.-t, and even on sums duo bv the ; United States interest is not al . . . i actor sue :uch as have not been paid j r states, congress will not lv t( establish a nrocodent ! to othe be likelv to establish a nrecodent for the payment of similar claims to other states.
