SOME SOUTHERN CLAIMS
lBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON March 3.-Ihe Postmaster-General
sent to the House Of Representatives to-day let
ter, which contains some important information
respecting a class OF Southern claims which has
been very pcrsistently pressed in Congress during
the last four or five years These claims arc made
on account Of services performed by mail contract
ors in the Southern States in 1859, 1860 and 1SG1
prior to the Rebellion.
In the Sundry Civil Appropriations bill approved
March 8, 1871 an item Of 1915, 900 was inserted to
nav such of the claims as had not been settled by
the Confederate Government. No payments have
vet been made out of this appropriation, Secretary
sherman never having been satisfied tbat the
claims have not been paid once already. Several
Southern members brought in bills ut tho Extra
Session designed 10 get the money out Of the Treas
urv and into the hands of the claimants. but
none Of those bills passed. In his letter,
sent TO the House to-day. General Key saws: " 1t
has very recently been brought TO my attention, in
a very confidential manner, that certain persons
whose names and residence have not been given me-
have the following books Of record Of the Post Of
fee Department Of the late sO-caled Confederate
States"
Among the six books described in the letter is a
statement Of the disbursements Of the Post Office
Department from October, 1861, TO April $50. This
book is said to include statement Of amounts paid
the contractors for their services to the United
| States The letter continues:

| ora and amounts distinguishing those paid for
services under the United States from the Others aud
includes all the payments 50 made. am Informed that

Similar notices were posted in the binding and other
departments Of the Office and rome 1,iCO men. women
aad children are thrown out Of until the Office
opens.
This notice Is not q matter of surprise to any one
who has been familiar with the facts for some time.
Among those who have known for weeks that the
appropriation for the pu6lic printing was nearly
exhausted are the members Of the House Committee
on Appropriations An estimate for the appropria-
ton necessary to meet the deficiency caused by the
Unexpectedly large amount Of worl, required by the
Extra Session of Congress, was sent in nearly two
months ago. Nh Defrees, the Public Printer, has
appeared before the Appropriations Committee seve-
raj times in person and explained the reasons for
tho deicien& and the necessity for early acuon.
The Democratic majority Of the Appropriations
Committee have simply neglected their duty ana
the Public Printer has been obliged TO stop work.
Thus the Democrats have registered another
bunder; for the country viii be quite likely 10 ASK
what caused the deficiency. When the cause IS as
certained, every body will wonder why the Demo-
Gratis did not make the appropriation 2s quietly as
possible so that people would not ask ugly Ques-
lions about the cost of that Extra Session.
