Old Canal Claims.

A Springfield dispatch dated May 9th
says, Claims against the state, growing
out of the canal management of former
years, and aggregating nearly $550,00G
were fled in the auditors Office to day,
and were referred to the attorney general
for investigation. The principal ole is
that OF Nathaniel Brown. presented by his
attorney, A. B. jerks 1t AYERS contract
made by G. B. Dodson forty years ago &c
construct certain sections of the Illinois 4
Michigan canal; that the contract was
afterward sold by Dodson to Brown and
others; that the works was afterwards
stopped and payments for the work done
were made in deprecated scrip, on which
much loss was suffered. The claim is fol
the difference between tie contract price
and the price received, and damages. los:
on machinery, etc., with interest. Several
of the other claims are for unlawful taxes
exacted."
We believe one Of our citizens is inter.
ested in these old claims.

We advise the Union to look out or

Lynde. Since his name was first proposed
by the Union 1t is surprising how many
men there are 10 the district who imagine
they have the calibre to draw a congress

larity, and in most of the instances this
is about their chief qualification, and, were
1t not unkind, we might say their only

however, that every one of them will

Of any one of them ever getting into

should not be blamed; they have seer

been the chief mode by which the navy de- |
partment have been supplied with mater
ials, not in obedience to expediency, but
vastly in excess of its means This vio-
lation Of law without warrant 10 precedent
or authority has depleted the treasury
to the extent of millions of dollars and has
been the food on which pampered favo-
rites have fattened, while it has prevented
the payment of moneys due a meritorous
class of creditors to such an extent that
many have been involved in bankruptcy
and all of them subjected to irreparable
loss. The amount of open purchases and
bureau orders within the last few years
aggregated over $20,O0O,O0O. Fair com

mend setting aside the contracts. as being

Burgess, with VIM. Camp 4 Sons, with
Harlin 4 Hollinsworth, with John Roach,
and with the Boston Iron Co., the total
aggregate of these contracts being $3, 600,-
263. They also recommend an approp-
ration of $3,2l7,72S to enable the Sec
rotary of the navy to pay claims
against the department. This re-
port is signed by Willis, Whit.
thorne, Carlisle and Pridemore. The
minority report of the committee, signed
by Page. HubbelI, and Williams of Oregon
says the report of the majority Of
the committee has the great defect
of ignoring the testimony taken by the
committee and the plain conclusions to be
drawn from it. to create occasion for un-
deserved censure. They believe that
truth is desired by Congress rather thar
fault finding, and that it is not meet te
substitute unsupported assertions anC
assumptions for sworn evidence. They
have therefore not been able to agree witt
the majority in their presentation of the
results of this investigation and sweeping
censure of all concerned, and then give
their own conclusion derived from thu
testimony. The principle part of thu
Indebtedness of the navy department il
for the rebuilding of FIVE double turretteC

reason is found either in the laws or ties

ground that such contracts were not II

tiers are not the subject of advertisement
and cannot practically be made SO, ant
nothing in the provisions of the law gov
erning the purchases for supplies ant
services in the navy department has an.
application to such contracts.
In conclusion the minority say that til
exact amount of the indebtedness of tn
navy department is $3.2l7,738. Tn
creation of this Indebtedness arose Target
from the reduced appropriations by tn
bureaus of the department., leaving wor
