A Rigid Law.

The recent act of Congress to pre-.
vent frauds upon tho Treasury Of the
United States contains some very ri
gid provisions. 1t requires all powers
Of attorney to receive money to be
executed after the claim is allowed
and to be acknowledged in the pres.
cnce Of witnesses.
1t prohibits all officers from acting
as attorneys for claimants, under thu
penalty Of fine and imprisonment.
1t inilicts heavy penalty upon any
person destroying paper or record
filed with a clerk or other officer Of
a court.
1t inflicts heavy penalty upon any
person who shall promise or offer any
gift or bible TO a member of Congress
or any other government officer, to
influence his vote or action upon any
pending question.
1t prohibits, under a heavy penalty
of fine and imprisonment, any mem.
Der Of Congress from acting as agen,
or attorney for any claimant, for com.
pensation paid or to be paid.
This is an excellent provision, il
enforced, for members have suficien,

having superadded the stimulus of in.
