the Union during the Rebellion. In doing this he

SIR: The communication signed cold Mer-

causing great dissatisfaction, and even Indignation,
among those who affected by it, and which merits
the serious consideration of pubc and Of Congress

There seems TO be alacrty enough in paying the in
terest the funded debt, and even in anticipating por
tons Of it not yet due and there is probably ground
for complaint OF want OF prompncss in the payment OF
Official salaries and other like demands, IN regard to
which there is possibility OF cayi But think that

experience in the matter, when say that the manner
In which most other demands, including reductions for
Internal Revenue taxes and Customs duties Illegally
exacied compensation for property taken for the Of
the Government, money due current contracts and
many other like claims. treated is vexatious and
oppressive in the extreme
One would suppose that if there any claims upon
the Treasury, which entitled TO special con-
sderation aud immediate payment it would be those for
money or property wrongfuy and eOmpulsorily taken
from merchants, manufacturers and others, and con-
verted TO public bat such appears not TO be the
View OF the Government On the contrary 1t is notorious
that there IL difficulty in obtaining just settle

as has been inmated, great difficulty is experienced In

Of the Government in this regard. that IN light al
most come to the conclusion that its purpose to

be avoided, yhnS long be delayed And
to such extent this policy carried, that it is fire.
quenty far better TO abandon a just claim than to at

This evil s becoming very serous and those immedi
