The Holiday Claim.

BENJAMIN HOLIDAY first became known
to the public as successful mail con-
tractor on the Overland route between the
Missouri river and Salt Lake City. which he
controlled for the five years between sep
TENDER, 1851. and November, 1850 4 portion
OF the route. when let, was known to be III
Tested by Indians. and the contractor made
his bid with that knowledge and to cover
all the contingencies. The contract turned
out to hc largely profitable, because the pas
senger traffic paid handsomely, independent
II the mail service.
Although there was no obligation on the
part Of the Government TO afford military
protection TO this route, Il was extended By
the troops on the frontier posts. stationed
there for the general object % keeping hos
Tile Indians in subsection, and thus better
guarding the line Of communication between
the Missouri and the Pacific coast. Mr.
HOLIDAY now petitions Congress to liz
dennify him for Indian dcprcdatlons. and
Tor other losses, alleged 20 have resulted
from the performance Of his contract sixteen
years ago.
The Committee Of Claims in the Senate
have reported n most extraordinary bill. re-
fcrring this case 10 the Court Of Claims for
adjustment upon the alidnvit- and orders
now before Congress" That /, t. say. the
Court is directed to dive-t itself of all
the functions OF Court and proceed to
render judgment upon cr pnrte uAidavit-
now before Congress. rruo, there Is a Sec
tion providing that "the Court shall have the
power, IN its discretion. to cause the produc-
ton for cross-eAaminntion of any witness
whose affidavit is now before Congress"
But suppose the witness should be dead OF
could not be found, then, under this bill his
affidavit, without cross-oXaminatiun, would
have To be received rs testimony
II appears there are bnt two witnesses
claiming to know the facts alleged in the
petition OF HOLIDAY. whose depo-itions
were produced before the committee. And
the claim il to be- decided substantially ON
these allldavits, made al the instance Of the
claimant, AMI without any opportunity to
test their tfuth.u!ness or integrity. The
best that could be- said for the two witnesses
was, they were "vouchcd for by senators
who have personal acquaintance with them
as men OF good character" As there are
good many Senators who need to be
"vouchcd for " themselves. this indirect en-
dorscmont Is not " the lrst
All. CAMERoN of Wisconsin reported this
bill, and he was seconded 10y HIPpLE-
MITCHELL in the discussion which it pro-
vokcd with renal kablc zeal for II disintcr-
ested patriot. Ar MORGAN of Alabama and
Gen. GORDON On behalf of the South shook
hands across the chasm with their recent
nssallants, and agreed that it was good
thing 20 do To open the doors OF the Treas
ury wide To- all corners with anidavits in
their pockets manufactured To orlcr.
Til" language OF thi. bill forcibly recalls
that of the CuonprNNlNG claim. when If first
