The Chorpenning Case.

WAsn,SGToS, July 24.--Thc At
,orney general has given an opinion
in the Chorpenning case, reviewing
the various acts Of Congress relating
thereto. The opinion is that S443,.
600, due by the late postmaster gem
eral cannot be paid since the repeal
OF the resolution which referred the
case to the postmaster general. I'm
der the law the postmaster general
hdnot act as Judge, but merely as a
minister Of congress. The award Of
slO,90O heretofore paid by Postmas-
ter General Brown to Chorpenning,
which was found due under reference
to postmaster general by act Of con
ggres ggress, didnot bind Chorpenning. SO
that he could not appeal to congress
for more on the other. The attorney
general holds that the present post.
matter general is not authorized to
pay the additional amount found due
by the late postmaster general, for
the reason that congress repealed the
resolution of reference before the
money was paid. He holds that in
the present condition of the law the
court Of claims has jurisdictioni in this
casc,.tbutt is clearly Of the opinion Hat
the amount found due by the last
postmaster general is not All award
which the court can inforcc, and un.
less congress intcrferes the claim is
debarred by the statute Of limitation

Donaldson and Gree woods TrsxIc
Trip-The s,ar.-The Aeronauts.


There is every reason to fear that
Prof. Washington Donaldson and his
hapless companion, Mr.. Greenwood,
Of the Journal, perished in the hurri-
cane Of Thursday night. Had the
balloon been in its most proper trim,
that ruthless tempest would have
sorely tried its stanchness. But it,,
as there is abundant reason to sus-
pect, the machine was in no fit con-
dition to- brave even the lesser haz-
ards ola trip across Lake Michigan,
the hope that Donaldson and his
guest reached solid ground in safety
seems only too desperate.
The departure of the balloon was
