THE DAILY UNION.

OF the story Is what might be expected, or rather
worse than could have been expected. The agent
has paid nothing to the claimants application TO
the Mexican government, they hold Voss's receipt
and thus the affair is finished. On applying TO the
English house, they admit they received the $780,
900 from the Mexican government, but cannot re-
turn II ALL They offer TO return part and here some
curious revelations come forth Ii seems that sum
Of $50, 900, in draft on Manning Macintosh, pay
able out Of the forced loan, is lost. Here is letter
| which shows il:

So much for that $50, 900. Another curious item
is that out OF the $40 900 draft the tobacco du

Now look to the amount OF this tobacco DRAFT,
and II will be seen to be sllO,OOO. Deduct
what Is offered 10 DC returned, 10 only $4,000 The
uPshot OF the whole is, that the claimants have lost
| their money Tor upwards OF TWO years-that they
have no means OF forcing the Mexican government
to pay-that they nave nothing TO do with the
agent, who has been dismissed for hts inhdelity-I
and cannot go to law with the English house IN
| Mexico. They have lost their money by the mis-
conduct OF the American agent, sanctioned by the
American minister, and by the neglect OF the Amer
lean government which never even learnt the truth
| Of the case for upwards Of ar!-from August,
| 1874, when Voss gave his receipt and Shannon re-
ported the money paid, down to December, lSi5,
when the CONSUL Black, obtained copy Of the
| agreement.

The secretary, speaking of the agreement with the

The secretary In in great error in an wing the recen

the Mexican government paid $3.50 900 to obtain that
receipt of $274000 But be the receipt it may it is
now question between the Observation-Disclosures
beyond the reach Of the claimants-and the money
having been lost by the misconduct Of the United
States agents, the United States should pay the
money, and settle the question with Mexico. With
respect to what the senator Mr.. EvANs read about
effective funds, it is not like the other NONSENSE
