are liable to be removed; and if the same
bounty claims were paid to said parties it would
be difficult, if not impossible for claimants to
obtain their money; therefore be it,

not to recognize or pay any such claims for State
bounty to any military officer now in the United
States service or who has been discharged there-
from, unless said officer be an agent or attorney,
resident permanently in this State. |
