An act making appropriations for the support of the Army for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and seventy-six, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted, &c., * * * That hereafter only actual travelling expenses shall be allowed to any person holding employment or appointment under the United States, except marshals, district attorneys, and clerks of the courts of the United States and their deputies; and all allowances for mileages and transportation in excess of the amount actually paid, except as above excepted, are hereby declared illegal; and no credit shall be allowed to any of the disbursing-officers of the United States for payment or allowances in violation of this provision.
NOTE. This provision, without the word hereafter and without the exception appearing herein, first appeared in 1874, June 16, c. 285 (18 Stat., 72). It is thus superseded by this act, and is consequently omitted from this volume, although amendments made by 1875, c. 95, and 1876, c. 159, refer to the act of 1874 instead of to this act.
