Io. me Editors Of the american Telegraph. +
GENTLEMEN: Iperceive by your paper of las
evening, that well-informed and responsible
person has furnished you with an explanation
in regard to what / said the day before touch.
ing the records and papers Of the late Commits.
sion on Claims against Mexico. sa
He commences by saying that he g under.
stands from good authority that the structures
Of your correspondent A., B., the day before
were undeserved, 80 far, as they affect DR.. Da
| yis.7 At tho same time, he does not deny
word of what said though, in reality, ther
wasIno censure expressed, nor necessarily i'm
|plied5 as it regarded DIR. Davis. FM z"
We are told that the office Of the Commits.
sioners, or that in which they left the papers in
question, lis considered as being part of the
State Department. Indeed Then why was
it deemed necessary for Congress to pass a law
directing the papers, on the conclusion Of the
Commission, to be deposited in the Department
of State 2 Again we are further informed
that the papers were offered two months ago by
DR.. Davis to the Secretary Of State and he de.
clined to take them until they were indexed
and synopsis made Of every paper, there
being no Spanish scholar in the Department,
who could be spared for such duty. This is
another queer fact, if the papers were already
in the Department. a..s
1t is also stated in the explanation, that al
though the law certainly says that the papers
when done with, shall be returned to the State
Department, yet that neither the President nor
the Secretary of State construes that to mean
that they shall be returned at once, and in state
of chaotic confusion" 1t does not appear what
meaning is attached to the words at once by the
President or by the Secretary of State but the
law says the papers shall be deposited in the
Department "when the commission shall be
concluded J" and let it be borne in mind thai
the commission was concluded more than tire
| months ago.
We have, moreover, another extraordinary
piece of information. Thepapers aoere an a stat
Of chaotic confusion. Is it really fact that the
Commissioners forming the board in question
three distinguished and learned men, with sala-
ries Of $4,000 year each, and having two
years to do their business in, with secretary
and o clerk, the one receiving So, 900 year
and the other ST ,500-haye drawn their full
pay, gone off, and left the papers of the Boarc
in state Of chaotic confusion? If this is &C
tually so, it ought to be more generally under
stood than it has hitherto been.
To return to DR.. Davis: he may possess al
the merit which may be claimed for him, fol
aught know; but what contend for is, that
he has no right by law to the custody of the
papers in question; and that the President has
no authority to leave them in the situation in
which they are, however upright may have been
his intentions. A. b.

FROM MINNESOTA editor of the st. Paul
Pioneer writes to that paper from Traverse de
Sioux, under date of the 4th instant, that the
whole party engaged in the Indian treaty al
that place were in tents, and that Colonel Luke
Lee and Governor Ramsey were present. Col.
Douseman had arrived on the Sd from Prairie
du Chen. On tho following day Martin Nc
Leod had come in from Lacqui-P Parle, bel ug
two days in advance Of the upper bands of In
dions, numbering about $4,000. The Council
was expected to open in two or three days.
The preparations which had been made to
celebrate the Fourth of July were rendered
useless by the death Of Rev. Mr.. Hopkins, Of
the Mission station in that neighborhood. He
went out into the river to battle on the morning
Of the 4th, and getting beyond his depth, was
drowned.

THE JENNINGS EsTATE.-It seems by the
papers, that in all parts of the country there
are claimants for the late jennings estate which
lies in England, inviting some lucky fellow to
take possession of it. Vim. Jennings, who left
the principal of it, was an old miser, who took
great pleasure in accumulating. He was born
sometime about 100, and died in 1898, leaving
no issue and intestate. The following is said
to be a correct list of his effects:

In addition to this there is a chest of the

which is said to contain q large amount of plate
and other valuables, but has not been opened
since the demise of the old lady
The whole value of this property in 184S,
according to good English authority, exceeded
5000, ,000 or more than $40, 600, ,000-a sum
which would make its possessor, we imagine,
the richest man in the world.
The question now to solve is, who arc the
heirs? In England all claim has ceased, and it
is certain that the descendants exist cu this
side of the Atlantic, but as yet unrecognised.
Not long ago whole convention of Jenning gses,
from all parts Of the United States, sat at Nash

and raise funds to investigate the matter.
