CONGRESSIONAL ACTION NEKDED.-The Quar-
termaster General having declined to pay GER
tain claims which occurred prior to July 1, 1870,
the matter was Submitted to the Attorney
General for his opinion, and he has decided til At
under the 5th, 9Th, and eth sections OF the Legis
latve, Judicial, and Executive appr opriatiOn
bill, all unexpended balances must be covered
into the Treasury, and hence no claims can be
paid until further legislation by Congress. The
accounting officers OF the Treasury Department
express the opinion that this decision OF the At
toIney General will greatly inconvenience the
different executive departments as no contrac-
tor or employe Of the government, no judge or
attorney. no army or navy officer, nor any
person who has supplied the government with
any goods can recover a dollar without Con-
gressional action IL there are no unexpendea
moneys in the particular department against
which they may have claims which fell due or
were contracted for before July I, 1870. If an
officer Of the army or navy should have been
absent six months, sick or on leave, and he has
failed to draw his pay, and the funds OF that
wear are exhausted, he cannot get cent out of
the regular appropriation Of this year. Comp
uoier Broadhead remarked: GAS for claim
agents, their business is done. They cannot GET
dollar, no matter how just the claim, for their
moneys are all contingent ON the 1871 ppropria-
tion."

and instructed by the proceedings of the

in listening to the high order of addresses
and lectures that had been presented, and
that the obligation was on the part of the
people of Manchester, not on the part Of

Hon. A. l.. Miner arose and fully
endorsed the expressions OF graft
fication given by DR.. Wickham and
expressed the hope that the Associa-
ton would come again, and they would be
most cordially welcomed and if they
bring with them five times as many more
they would cheerfully entertain them
The President remarked to the Associ-
alton that the words of Dr. Wickham, a
lifelong teacher, and Mr.. Miner, who, be-
fore his entrance upon professional and
public life, was successful teacher, were
no unmeaning compliments coming from
those gentlemen.
After few remarks from the President
in reference to the success of the session
and its pleasant associations and the
kindly and courteous hospitality of the
people of Manchester, he said: GAS he
called upon his early instructor at the

blessing upon the labors of the session, so
now he would call upon him to pronounce
upon them the benediction." Rev. DIR.
Wickham then came forward and closed
the session with benediction.
