MR. CLAWS PROSPECTS IN LOUISIANA
AND IN THE UNION

A few days since when the returns from the Fede-
raj Bank city of New Orleans gave the friends of
Mr.. Clay the premature hope Of in the State,
the "Bee," the leading organ of Mr.. Clay In that
city, broke forth in the following strain of triumph
and EMULATION:
"The Wings of New Orleans have stopped the
bali of revolution that has overwhelmed other cities
and States, and now set it a-going afresh for HEN
RY CLAY NATIONAL CURRENCY!. and
TARIFF!!!'
This pman the Federal city. which was eager
ly repeated by the Federal presses throughout the
Union, was swiftly followed by the returns from the
State And mark the change of tone. The N Y.
Commercial Advertiser another Federal Clay organ,
thus censures its friends for throwing the height of
Mr. Claws name into the canvass:
SIN this untoward, if not unexpected result, we
have another evidence of the want of political wisdom
which characterizes large portion of the friends of
Mr. Clay. Nothing could be worse for the prospects
of that gentleman than this premature agitation of
the Presidential election with his name at the head
SO long in advance" ssThe Presidential flag
is hoisted in State election in Louisiana inscribed
with the namc of Henry Clay-and the election is
lost. So it will be elsewhere unless the Wings grow
wise in time"
What say you gentlemen of the "CIay Clubs 2"
What say you of Setting the ball a-gong afresh for
Henry Clay, Bank, and High TaTf?"

A FAMILY FAILING.--There was old man once
who had three sons, and the old man in large
business which kept increasing until got so large
that the house couldn't hold it, the house burst and
the old man failed.
Then the old man got larger house, washed his
hands of the old debts took in his eldest son and
commenced all bright and new again. In due course
of time the old man and his eldest son failed.
Then Immediately opened dashing new store, in
another neighborhood, richly and largely stocked,
being the firm of - Brothers and these were
the old mans two other sons. A smashing business
was carried on--in due time the smash came, and
- Brothers failed.
We don't know how the next firm is to be made
up among them; but failing seems to be bushes
with them, and their business is family taiing.-

To cry Treason, Treason !
Without rhyme or reason.

But it seems were mistaken. The National In
tellgencer of the 18th inst. contains the articles,
drawn up by Mr. Bolts, twelve in number. The
10th article charges the President with IAN abandon
ment of an acknowledged constitutional duty in re-
usng to render such aid to the constitutional author
rites of Rhode Island, when called on, as he had
himself previously promised in his letter to Governo
King, sacred constitutional obligation resting up
on him." We differ in opinion with the President on
some points Of national policy, but we had supposed
that in relation to the Rhode Island affair, every
Wing throughout the country would sustain Mr.. Ty-
Ter. No good can result from Impeachment. We
have again and again asserted that the course pur-
sued by great portion of the Wing press immediate
y after the second Veto, was most unfortunate.

impeachment and we are prostrated-the result in

The three last claims, amounting in the ag-
gregate to 81, 424 co. were allowed in November,
1910, and were subsequently paid. am not
aware of any law or regulation authorizing
their payment and therefore cannot of course,
give the authority for their allowance.
The three last named gentlemen, who receiv-
ed those extra allowances were not specially
appointed to this Duty nor were their allowances
previously fixed by the Secretary of War, as
required by regulation on file in this office,
which was adopted by Gov. Cass, as Secretary
OF War, on the 23d March, 1888, and approved
by the President of the United States on the
same day. The following prohibition is ex
pressed In the llth clause of said regulation:
SIT follows, that no officer, executing any duty
prescribed by these regulations, will be entitled to
or receive any per centage, or other emolument
or compensation therefor, with the execution of
such clerks as may be necessarily employed.
and whose allowances will be previously fixed
by the Secretary of War" This regulation
was not mentioned by Mr. Crawford in his re-
port, when he recommended Mr.. Kurtzs claim
for allowance and, if it had been entitled to the
weight given to it by Mr. Crawford when he
rejected claims in analogous cases, would have
defeated the claim of Mr. Kurtz, and would
have kept the door closed against claims of
similar character

SIR: have carefully examined the account in

my inability to act fayorably upon it.
The regulations adopted in regard TO payments for
services rendered, &C., under the Chckasaw treaties
being SO clear, viz: that no allowance will be made
unless previously fixed by the Secretary Of War and
as the President, to whom the said regulations were
submitted, declined making any alteration therein,
there is no alternative left but reject your claim

1t appears from one of Mr. Kurtz's answers to
question put to him by the Chairman, that
the Chickasaw Indians have never received one
dollar OF the interest money which has accrued
on their investments amounting in the aggre-
gate to SIS 10, l4S 25, and that their national
fund is considerably in arrears; so much SO that
those Indians cannot receive anything from it,
until these arrearages are satisfied, which will
take some years. pages 70 e. 79.)

The business transactions Of those Indians
consisted, during the years 1888 and 1894, OF a
correspondence of thirty five brief letters, as
shown by the files of this office. MIR. Kurtz, as
acting chisf clerk Of the War Department pro-
per, is the author of one of those which con-
sists of eight lines The said files give evidence
of four Chickasaw letters having been written
during the years 1885 and 1886, by Mr. Kurtz,
consisting OF twenty-eight lines, making an ag-
'gregate Of thirty-six lines written by him up to
lst January, 1887, when clerk was appointed,
at y 400 per annum, to perform all the Chicka-
saw business in the Indian bureau; and vet ex-
ira allowances have been tolerated by Mr.
Crawford, up 10 Sd March, 1889! Mr.. Kurlz
became disbursng agent for those Indians in
August, 1885,
Question. S ate what other claims analogous to
those of Messrs Kurtz, Potts, and Mix, have been
presented to the War Department for allowances
when dlsallowed, and on what grounds as far you
know
Inc witness states, In answer TO the foregoing
lnterroga ory, that, on the 18th August, 1S41,
Mr. kurtz, through the chiefs or commission
ers OF the Chckasaw tribe, made application for
an extra allowance out of the Chickasaw fund
OF $500 per year, from 1888 up to that time
which was rejected by the Secretary, Con the
ground that MIR. kurz receives regular salary
for all his services rendered, fully adequate. J
This case, however may not be considered
analogous to the rest, as it is for rendering SER
vices which, by law Omitted States, Goth April,
1886, vol. 9, chap. 53) belong exclusively to the
Secretary of the Treasury"
1t will also be seen that William Miller Esq
of LIST comptroers office, made application for
such extra allowance as above stated, which
application, on the l1lh June, 1885, about sew
enteen months before the allowance of Mr..
Kur'z's claim, was rejected by Mr. Crawford

pended, (marked Az
