A REBEL aAAaD EXPOSED.

Congressman Willetts. of this state,
made himself national reputation last
week Friday, and at the same time saved
the goyernpent several hundred
thousand dollars. On that day a big
steal was attempted by the ex- confe,ler-
ates, in the shape of confederate war
claim which had once passed Con-
gress, and but tor Mr.. Willetts would
haye passed again. 1t was in the shape
Of an appropriation OF $4,000 to pay
southern mail contractors for services
rendered before the war. The act as it
first passed had Il proviso that no one
should be paid who had been compen-
stated by tie Confederaey tor such SER
vices. This was passed in the early days
of reconciliation but Ito payments had
been made upon then. The present at
tempt was to arrange in some manner SO
the Treasury would pay the bills. The
bill first came up tor consideration Feb.
18th, under the charge of Mr.. Reagan,
ex-Postmaster General OF the Confeder.
acy. He stated explicitly that none OF
these claims had been paid by the Con-
federate government, and that the Con-
tolerate government. Wien it assumed
the mail service, had direc:el the con-

The great transatlantic steamship lines
report the prospect OF unusually large
ef1iux of Americans to Europe this COM
ing summer, and are preparing to largely
increase their facilities for carrying them.
This is pleasant evidence that, in spite
of the universal pressure of hard times,
there are still many persons in the coun-
try who can afford such luxury as an
European trip. 1t is also agreeable to
think that so many of our cOuntrymen
will by this foreign travel be greatly inn
proved i'm manners and in general knOwl-
edge, and will come home with broader
and truer estimate of other peoples,
among whom they will find much that
is good and beautiful, which they miss at
home. But the hegira has another and
less agreeable side. The millions of dol
lars that this travel will cost will all be
spent i'm foreign countries, and we can i'll
afford to lose such sums at present. II
spent at home it would do much to sci
the machinery of industry going again
and bring relief to the idle poor.

tractors to settle with the United States
up to that time. 1t was eviaent that an
attempt was being made To smuggle the
bill through under false pretenses.
When the bill again came up last week,
Mr.. Conger read from the rebellion
record proclamation issued by Reagan
himself, as Postmaster General of the
Confederacy, ordering the seizure of the
United States mail-bags, etc. This wasa
hard hit. but proved to be a love-tap COM
pared with the blows then dealt to
Reagan by Willets, who followed. He
replied 10 Reagan's assertions,
already quoted, by revealing mass OF
documents which astonished the House.
aud astonisLed Reagan and his fellow
Democrats. Its effect upon the House
can be inferred wheE it is stated that he
read Confederate statutes wherein the
rebel government formally assumed to
pay these contractors all the sums due
them from the United States. and appro-
pr;aied $S00.000 for that purpose proc
lamation from Regain ordering Southern
p0s;masters to return all United States
moneys in their possession for this pur-
pose: a series Of printed reports by Rea-
gan showing that of the 100000 appro,
priated he had paid ont at least $664. 1000
to these very NELL; vouchers for individ-
ual payments under this appropriation; a
report flom the Auditor of the rebel
Postal Department dated Oct. /, 1862,
showing that 1888 of such claims were
filed. amounting 10 $4,000, and records
of other documents, showing that Rea-
gan's assertion was utterly contradicted
10y all the facts. The act assuming the
United States liabilities to these men
was dated Sept. ~, 1862, and closed as
follows: "Prouided, That the provisions
of this act shall only extend to loyal citi.
zens of the Confederate States"
He also read blank Issued under
Reagan's orders, which had been used as
receipt for this class of disbursements
These statements proved every statement
nude by Reagan to have been false. AS
soon as the treasury raiders got over the
Observation-Disclosures by this bombshell
Mr.. Reagan attempted to reply, but sim
ply admitted the whole facts and piead
fOrgettulness.
The bill went over, and it will come up
| again, but it will doubtless be defeated
for it can hardly be expected that after
such an exposure the bill can be passed
Congressman Willets deserves, and viii
receive, the thanks of the entire country
for thus successfully defeating this higt
handed scheme to rob the Treasury.

The declarations in the English House
