The preparations for opening the Tehuantepec

When the agents Of the Hudson's Bay COMPANY
,,art here some wears ago with t1elr "possessory
,;A,. for sale nobody could precisely understand
Of what they consisted, except few od trdoing
posts and decayed military works tor protection
soairst Indians. They brought about S30,OOO here
far the purpose Of moral suasIon, which MI. y.
Knox Walker the private Secretary OF fres!dent
Pelk. and some others, saw safely and permanently
invested for services rendered. They were wiling
A. se for 800 600 then, being precisely $500 900
more than the whole thing was worth. If an offer
of $500 600 ia entertained now, the Administration
can easily estimate what sort of bargain they VIII
set. Stin IL will be cheaper, compared with some
others they have made for Utah, by which millions
.isht hive been saved if the contractors had been
bought of, without being allowed TO furnish pound
Of supplies or anything IN the shape Of horse or
male flesh.
The Investigations ordered at the last Session

Me Democratic Sergeant alarms, whose Office
Welded more than $40, 600 by the process OF allow
ing constructive mileage in summoning witnesses.
The accounting officers demurred but the Attorney
General came to the rescue with an opinion which
conceded the authority of the Committee of Ac-
counts Of the House to audit and allow his claims.
He gave another opinion recently, which IL regard
ed assailng the principle here recognized by re-
fusDg to admit allowances to the late Clerk OF the
House upon the vouchers of the same Committee
Of Accounts. There may be legal distinction,
hsweyer, that unprofessional eyes cannot dis
