WASHINGTON, July 24s-The Attorney
! General has sent the President a lonr
| opinion inphe ChOrpenning case, reviewing
| the various acts Of Congress relating
| thereto, and various decisions of the SUI
preme Court and Court of Claims on viii ch
/ the principles governing ills case have
! been Judicially considered. The opinion
| IS that $4,000 found due BIZ the late
| Postmaster General cannot be paid since
| the repeal OF the resolution which referred
| the case 70 the Postmaster General; that
under the law the Postmaster General
did not act as judge, but merely
as minister of Congress; that his
| finding is not in the nature of an award
by an arbitrator, and that the case does
moi differ IN principle from the case of
Gordon vs.. United States, Z Wall,
l73; that the award of S109,072 heretofore
paid by the Postmaster General to Mr..
ChOTpenning, which was found due, under
reference TO the Postmaster General made
by an act of Congress, did not bind Choir
penning so that he could not appeal to
Congress for more. On the other hand,
the Attorney General holds that the present
Postmaster General is not authorized to paw
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reason that Congress repealed the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 also held that in the present
condition Of the law the Court of Claims
has jurisdiction in this case, but is clearly
Of opinion that the amount found due by
the last Postmaster General is not an award
which the court can enforce, and tina. IN
less Congress intervenes the claim is de.
barred by the statute of limitation.
