Secretary of War, to ask whether the
plea of the Statute of Limitations should
be interposed or not. Belknap replies
that he does not wish it done. Thus
Bristow, Solicitor General and acting
Attorney General, and Belknap, are af-
fected with express notice that the bar
Of the statute had accrued.
A(terward it appears from the record
that the plea was in fact interposed by
Goforth, Assistant Attorney General,
that objections were made by the claim
ant, and by consent Of the Attorney Gen
eral the plea was withdrawn. Thus the
claimant, the Attorney General and the
Court of Claims were all affected. Not
withstanding all this the Court assumed
urisdiction-heard the case, rendered
judgment by mere majority, with a
powerful dissenting opinion from Drake,
G. j., in a case which the Court, the coun-
sci for the Government and for the
claimant all knew from the record was
barred by a statute, and that the very
statute which gave the jurisdiction to
the Court itself
Every step of this celebrated cas- is
wrong and almost infamous.
Again-After judgment the United
States had ninety days to appeal. There
was then pending in the Supreme Court
of the United States, a case involving the
principle whether the United States
could be made responsible for cCnsequen-
tial damages, the very class of damages
claimed in this cause.
Now, the Attorney General had un-
doubtedly discretion to prosecute the
appeal or not. This he did not do, but
waived the right of appeal in thirty days
Whether he did this to anticipate the
judgment of the Supreme Court, or on
the advice (Which is more probable) Of
Secretary Belknap, cannot now be deter
mined, but he did it. The judgment, by
law, was payable out of the appropria.
ton made, or to be made, to pay judg
ments of the Court of Claims-but it was
not so paid.
Belknap drew warrant on the unex'
pended funds of the appropriation fol
army transportation prior to 1908
fund not properly chargeable with this
Judgment, and it was paid.
These are the facts apparent on record
Why all these things were done is q
question outside of the record, and de-
pendent on parol proof, which may Oh
or may not be obtained.
The Quartermaster, Rowland, was
dishonorably dismissed the service.
The probabilities are that the claim is
utterly fraudulent, and manufactured af-
ter the war closed.
But there can be no doubt that the en-
tire action of all the Government officers
and of the Court of Claims, was without
warrant of law, to the great injury of the
United States, and deserves the strongest
condemnation.
Any intelligent committee can, if they
choose, follow the entire matter, and de-
velop the real facts now studiously CON
cealed.

TUESDAY, MAY 9. 1876.

The Conservatives Of Richmond, after their
primary election, have settled down quietly to
the determination of securing the election OF
the nominees. The Enquirer says as soon as
it was positively ascertained that Col. Caring
ton was nominated, in response to enthusiastic
calls he appeared at the corner OF Twelfth and
Main streets, and was received with long and
continued cheering. He commenced with a
manly and graceful tribute to his unsuccessful
competitor, Mayor Kelley, and said he would
have no frmer, truer friend in the approach
ing election than that gallant and gifted gen
tleman. He begged that all would forget that
this friendly contest among themselves bad oc
CURED, and that they would know no Kelley
or Darlington. only our mother Virginia. the
beautiful city of Richmond. and the great
Conservative party, the political saviour of
Il a. city and State. He said as the chosen
standard bearer OF the party he should bear
that banner to victory and was prepared to lay
out any Radical who might be brought for
ward. He alluded to the report that the Irish
would not support him as false, and paid a
high compliment to their patriotic service IN
every crisis through which the city and State
has passed, and that as true and loyal citizens
they would give him hearty support.

The New York Herald SAYS:

Samuel j. TiIden. of New York, President
of the Uuited States, with Thurman, Of Ohio,
and Bayard, Of Delaware, 10 his Cabinet, would
lead the nation back to the best days OF the
Republic, and win for US once more the re-
spect Of the world.
Thurman, Of Ohio President of the United
States, with Tilden, of New York, and Bay
ard, of Delaware, as his Cabinet advisers
would purify the public service, give renewed
strength and stability to republican institutions,
unite the country, insure the perfect equality
of the States, establish the finances OF the na-
ton on sound basis. and give us power, cred
it and respect abroad.
"Bayard, of Delaware, President Of the
United States, With T'ildeo. of New York, and
Thurman, of Ohio at the head OF the Treas
ury and State departments, would soon re-
deem the nation from the disgrace of national
corruption and make the American citizen
again proud of his country, her rulers and her
institutions
''Tilden, Thurman or Bayard as the Presi-
dental candidate, with the prospect of the re,
naming two in the Cabinet, would decide the
result of the Presidential election before the
day Of voting arrived
And this consummation, so devotly to be
desired can be achieved without any difficulty
if the delegates from the South will 20 to st.
Louis with determination to remain quiet
and accept such candidate as the North may
present, or better still, if they stay away from
there altogether.

The police have satisfied themselves that the
explosion at the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western Railroad tunnel, last Saturday night
was the work of the strikers, who had been
heard to make frequent threats against the
contractor. If the guilty parties be detected
the severest punishment the law Above should
be inflicted upon them at the shortest notice.
This is yet nominally free country, and we

become property owDers, have some rights
which the indolent and the spendthrlfs are
