Not herei Not herei Not where the sparkling
waters
Fade in knocking sounds as we draw near;
Where in the wilderness each footsteps falters
shall be satisfied-but o, not here!
Not here, where all our dreams of bliss deceive
us,
Where the worn spirit never gains its goal:
Where haunted ever by the thoughts that grieve
Across Us floods Of bitter memory roll.
There is a land where every pulse is thrilling
With raptures earth s Sojourners may not know
Where heavens repose the weary heart is still

The silent love that here meets returning,
The inspiration which no language finds

A FAMOUS FRAUD.
HISTORY OF THE CHoRPENNING. CLAIM
BAREFACED AFFAIR.


BAREFACED AFFAIR.
A dispatch from Washington saws that the
attorney-generalh has sent his opinion on the
Chorpenning claim to the president. The
ST. Paul Pioneer Press gives the following
account of the case: The features of this
famous case, in brief, are as follows: In 1851
the firm of Chorpenning 81 Woodward, of
California, secured from the govern
ment the contract for carving the
mails from Salt Lake City to California
This contract was three times renewed
making the entire term of service nine
years. In November, 1851, Woodward was
killed by the Indians, and Chorpenning
thereafter performed the service alone. I'm
der the various contracts the full amount of
regular pay was, in round NUM- ers, $780,
coo, but at various sessions of Congress, and
by various methods, this sum has already
been swelled. additional allowance, to no
less than S5lS, 596. OF tbs means employed
in securing this money. it is not worth while
10 enter into detail. II il suffi cient to say
that the original allowances on the contract
were sufficient to properly fulfill them and
have reasonable margin for profit, and all
thst has since been added may be set down
as absolute gratuity. Not satisfied with this
ChorpeDning in 1870 renewed his demands.
and in July of that year congress passed and
the president approved a resolution under
which Postmaster General CresWell awarded
on this already vastly overpaid contract
the further sum of $4,000, making grand
sotal OF
NEARLY MILLION DOLLARS.
The resolution directed the post
master general to Investigate and
adjust the claims of George Cor
penning under the first section of an act for
his relief, approved March 3, 1857" etc. The
act of 1857 referred 10 peremptorialy in
structed the then postmaster general, the
Hon. Aaron V. Brown, TO adjust and settle,
not according to the proof that might be had
in the matter, but Gas shown by the proofs
and affidavits on file in the House of Rep
resentatives." When 1t is considered
that the ony proofs and affidavits
on file were those contained in
Chorpenning's petition, the iniquity of
the whole proceeding is st once apparent.
Previous to the passage OF the resolution in
1870, Chorpeuning had importuned four
successive postmaster generals for reopen
ing of the case. but by each been re-
fused. The resolution OF 1870 was brought
before the House for consideration
having been reported, and was passed
during the last hours of the session. At the
session of 1872, and before the money had
been paid, the resolution was repealed, but
appeared again at the last session on the
private calendar, bearing the approval of the
judiciary committee, which had reported a
bill the court of claims jurisdiction in the
matter. The bill failed to become law,
and the claimant then appealed TO the at
torney general, before whom the case was
argued at length a short time ago, and from
whom a decision is promised as above
stated.
