Altered Scheme to Rob.

ST. LOUIS, May. "A special dispatch to
the Globe, from Jefferson city, says: "A scheme
has lust come to light here to rob lhe State OF
several millions of dollars A commission or
war claims sat at Jefferson City last vi inter and
allowed nearly SO 900 900 OF claims, and issued
certificates to claimants for nearly that an ount.
These certificates are not to be paid, however,
until the Federal government agrees to REIN
bnrse the State therefor, and Of this there is
little hope. These certificates are worth about
two cents on the dollar and it is asserted they
have been bough up by number OF New ork,
Chicago, and st. Louis brokers, and by ring,
consisting of leading politicians 10 the middle
and northwestern counties of the State With a
number of friends in St. Louis. This ring, 1t
is alleged, is now forming lobby tor the pur-
nose of getting the Constitutional ConVentlon
to insert in the new Constitution new clause
providing that the State can be sued, and the
Legislature shall pane the Court before Which
the suits against the State shall be brought Ii
therefore the Federal government refuses to
recognize these war government claims, aud
this ring accompllshes its object with the Con
ventiop, it is thought it will be an easy matter
to induce the Legislature to Dame Court De-,
fore which these claims shall be brought, aod
with So, 900, 900 at stake favorable decision
ia believed to be inevitable. The sW'ndle 10
the case is asserted to be that these claims, With
the exception of few hundred thousand dol
lars are bogus. The names of men who have
been dead ten years appear on the books and
are only represented by the attoroles OF parties
who hold the certificates 10 fact nearly all the
mep of the regiments for whose beneht these
claims are made are dead, and the money paid
by the State thereon, WILL it's alleged go into
the rockets of the parties Of this ring. Some
of the members of this lobby are said to be IN
Jefferson City now, and others Will be there
shortly.
