Correspondence OF the Louisville CONFECTIONERY
For the past twenty years there has been a
claim against Congress known as the ''Atoche
Claim" Gen. Atochc, who presented the
claim in person, was handsome Mexican
officer who suffered in some way during the
Mexican war, and was compelled by Santa
Anna to leave the country. His losses were
secured to him when Mexico paid our Gov
ernment indemnity. say it with regret that,
when money once passes into the possession
of the Government, it is very hard to get it
back again, for the policy appears to be to
avoid the payment of every just debt if pos
sible. Thus we see persons with indi>puta-
bic claims spending Il life time in the vain ef-
fort of obtaining justice, and bequcathng
the claims rs a legacy to their children. Gen.
Atoche has been dead for years, but his
widow end two daughters survive. The eld-
est is the wife of Capt. Ammon, the most in
innate friend of the President. Madame
Atoche lives with Mrs. Ammon. Before Con-
gress adjourned, last March, the Atoche
claim was allowed, bat when Mr.. Jannin,
her lawyer, went to the Treasury to draw the
money, MIR. Cushing and General Butler were
on hand with an attachment for their client,
a wealthy Mexican named Randero. Ran
dero's claim covered the entire amount, near
5000, 900. After attaching the money it was
necessary to allow certain length of time to
elapse before either party could draw the
money. That especial day occurred about
two weeks ago. The first persons who en-
tered the Treasury upon that important day
were Madame Atoche and her lawyer, who
proceeded to the Auditors Office, where all
the papers were ready to be signed. This
was quickly done, and proceeding to the
Cashiers Office the money was duly counted,
receipted, and delivered. The parties left
rejoicing. Two hours afterwards Mr.. Cush-
ing and Gen. Butler entered expecting to
carry off great piles of greenbacks. Imagine
their CONSERVATION when told the money was
paid. l was told that Gen. Butler made
things lively, for when had he ever before
been outwitted? lie said they did not come
before II o'clock because he thought that,
even if Madame Atoche got there at 9, it
would take hours to make out the papers.
The question is, who was the friend that
limited to the Auditor that it would be we'll to
be prer<red to receive Madame Atoche as
soon as the Office opened for business? Mr..
Jannin gets fee of $50, 900, and Mr. Cush-
ing and Gen. Butler are minus about that
SCln.
