Treasury Decision.

WASHINGTON, d. g., April Il The
Secretary oi the Treasury has gwen de.
crslon in relation to the use of appropria
tions for the payment OF accrued claims,
his attention having been drawn to the
question Of the use of appropriations
after the time for which they were made
upon claim tor the violation Of con
tract, as many depend upon the con-
struciiOn OF the law, The Secretary gave
the object the most careful con-
sidera. ion, with view to settle On rules
that will govern him in issuing
warrants in similar cases. The Secrr-
,ary, ter an elaborate review, concludes
rs iolsws: The statute cuts of the pay
ment OF the clearest claims two years
alter the expiration OF the spproprls'
tions, such rs the salary OF the President,
Supreme Judges or members of Con
gress, and much more the multitude of
dou bttul claims that grow by time.
AL proper claims are kelly t.
be promptly made and paid. Some
lust claims may ar se and be delayed b.
neglect or want Of proof, bat to provide
tor these, AID at the same time TO give
the clalmnnt the benefit of notice by the
Auditor and Comptroller, The Secretary
of lhs treasury is directed, At the begln-
ning of eacn session, To report 10 Con
pre.s, with bis annual estimates, any
balance OF appropriations for spec fc OBJ
jrcts affected by this section that may
need to be re-spproprIatei. This is the
precise reference required to secure the
payment of Judgments by the Supreme
conrt or Court Of Claims. 1t follows
therefor. that the secretary is not
au hurrzed to draw any nj 'ney from ths
Treasury IN pay ment ot this cain or IL
ptvment Of tho claims covered by
e,trer the permanent or ordinary annual
appropriations that do not clearly ial'
within the limitation fixed by the act o.
June 20, 1874, or within the cx
ceptions name1, and the officer; charged
with the preparation and Issue OF war

condemnation Of President Hayss'
southern policy, and which Ia now pab.

JkrrkRsoS, o. April y
Mr.. U. II. Hunter. Washington:
Ny DEAR SIR Your letter Of the oh
was duly received. You ask whether | 70
member what said in favor OF President
Hayes in my endeavor to procure his
nomination at the Cincinnati Coo.
vention. l do remember Il.
after what has since trsnspired,
with Indignation and = bitterness
of soul thst never ielt before. You
know with what untiring zeal worked
Tor the emancipation oi the slaves OF ths
South, aud TO procure justice for them
before and during the time l was In Con
gress, and supposed Governor Hayes
was in iull accord with me on this sub
iect, but have been deceived, betrayed
and even Inundated by the course ne
has taken 10 such n degree that haven't
language to express myself. During the
first months of his standardization ws
watched him closely, with two Of tho
worst and most malignant enemies OF
the colored race that can DO found In
all that slave cursed region. and those
consulting with those mslsiactors how
best he can put these colored people un-
der the iron heel OF their most bitter enc
mies, and 10 reduce them 20 q condition
infinitely worse that before they were
made free. li,el thst TO have emAnci ipated
them, and then leave them unprotected,
would be n crime NJ infamous Ms to have
reduced them ~ slavery when uhcy ~srn
free, and Hayes did thls 10 mcn who
had, at the hazard oi their lives given
him the votes, without which he never
could have hsi power 10 do this terrible
injustice No doubt no med la,ss
The destruction OF tho party that elected
him. A contemplation OF all tbi. fills
mo with hmaZenent and indispensable
indignation. NY only consolation is
that history informs ma that better msn
than ! ever pretended - bs have Ia like
manner been deceived Some have Al.
tempted IN excuse HIM by saying that he
means well. but hell IL paved with ust
such good intentions.
Truly yours,

A PROMINENT grain dealer OF New
York makes the following suggestions as
to the probable benefits which this coun-
try would reap from q war in Europe:
As the probabilities ol hostilities between
these two great nations have been dis.
cussed .or long time past, the expects
ticns have kept pace with the near aP-
proach of open war, and consequently
any news that has been received has had
no sudden effect upon the market.
Corn seems to be effected tie
most the price closing to-day At
sixty.fve and sixLy-six cents. an
advance OF ten cents on the price of
week ago. The news from Chicago
shows that the same advance has taken
place there. Whether or not these &C
vancing rates will continue is uncertain,
but it is probable that they will be con-
trolled by the news that is received of
the condition oil the two opposing Pow
ers, the probable interference OF Other
Powers, and violent fluctuations will
ensue. The anticipation o. large sales is
manly based on tho theory that several
nations on the continent will become In.
volved in the war. This would have
wonderful effect on the m arkst here.
In such case the Black Sea would be
completely closed up and navigation to
Constantinople obstructed. The Danube
would also be clOstG. and much OF the
Shipping interest OF Europe would bo
sent here, and low ocean Rates would re
.ult. Ii the Danube were closed, the
products which are now obtained from
that region would be completely lost, and
this country would be called upon 20
make up the deh h;iency. The effect
would be- greater on tho market here
than has been the case during any War
that has occurred in Europe since the
Crimean WAT, because none has
checked avlgation AS much as is prob
able now. The country is fully able to
supply every demand for corn, but 1t Is
SAID the United States has only small
quantity To spare, the crop last year
lalling short OF the usual supply. 1t the
war should continue any leig gLh OF time
the next crop would be in very great
dem snd. Not only corn, but also wheat
would be required, and it the crop shou.
be successful the demand for this staple
product will make next year one OF the
most exciting markets for wheat for
many years. Tue anticipation among
the dealers Is that large amount Oi
money Will be made.
