A Decision Against the Power of the
Commissioners to Purchase Sites.

The First Comptroller of the Treasury
yesterday submitted his reply to recent letter of
the District Commissioners relative to their au-
thority to purchase sites for the erection of two
new station houses in Washington and new en-
gine-house in Georgetown. The Comptroller says
that authority had been given for their erection
and money appropriated by Congress for the pur-
pose, the Commissioners would have the right to
purchase the sites; but as the act of Congress
stated explicitly that the proceeds Of the sale of
certain property in Georgetown should be applied
to the purchase of lot and erecting building for
anew engine house, but failed tomake such pro-
vision i'll the case of the Washington station
houses, it was clearly the intention of Congress
not to authorize the purchase of any real es-
tate in Washington, and the Commissioners have
no power to buy the sites needed for the station
houses.
COMMISSIONER MORGAN STATED
to REPUBLICAN, reporter yesterday that the de-
cision of the Comptroller would hamper the Com
miSSioners in their efforts to build the new station
houses, and they would be delayed until Congress
met, He claimed, however, that the act of March
), 1881, implied power on the part of the Com
misSOners to purchase the sites and quoted recent
decisions of the Attorney General in parallel cases.
notably the building of portable dam in Ohio.

CONCERNING PORTER.
To the Editor ofTHE REPUBLICAN:

~ the EOilpT Vi iHE REPUBLICAN.
Your paper the 11th instant, under the
caption, Porters Claim" contains an account of
a claim now pending in the District Courts wherein
the alleged Porter is plaintiff and Mr.. 6. V. White
of New York, is the defendant. In the published
statement of the case the fact is not mentioned
that the opinion of Judge Wylie in dismissiug the
cases of McManls vs.. Stanish and ChieS vs. Porter
ct al. practically decided against Porter as well,
and it was on the strength of that opinion that the
Secretary of State delivered the check Mr. White
IT WAS BECAUSE THESE SUITS
were imminent that the former Secretary with
held payment at least he declined to decide in ad-
vance of the courts. Dr. Porter evidently failed to
inform your reporter that the reason why Mr.
White purchased Mussers claim was because
Musser was the attorney of record. and, therefore,
the only person having any interest or lien in the
award, and that Mr. White was paid the money as
having acquired his interest through Musser Dr.
Porter also neglected to inform him that when he
filed his bill i'll equity he Porter promptly ar
rested for perjury, aud only escaped indictment
through the fact that simple lie under oath was
not technical perjury under the District code.
THE STATEMENT THAT Mr.. WHITE
has not answered the bill of Dr. Porter is untrue
as the records of the court will show. Neither
did Colonel IngerSoll receive fee of $1,000 as is
alleged, for Colonel IngersOl was not Mr.. Whites
attorney, nor was he retained on his side nor did
he receive any fee whatever in the case. Those
fortunate enough to have read Judge Wylie'S
opinion on this question can find terse and
sCathing statement of the nefarious practices of
these shady claim agents." who, like Porter are
perpetually lying in wait for the discovery of claims
in which their only interest is in ftUro and not IN
eSse Unlike Mr.. Micawber, they have not the
manlifess to wait for something to turn up, but
rather,
LIKE URIAH HEP,
they hope to gain the estates through excessive
humbleness and persistent hanging on. In con-
clIlsion, it may not be improper to state that
legal gentleman informs me that the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the United States
that these claims are not assignable will result
in the destruction of the practice of these petit
Jogging claim agents; but, knowing the crooked
ness and sinuosity of their ways, claimants may
well be haraSSed with doubts. ]. B. II.

POTOMAC FREE BRIDGE.
Comptroller Upton Decides that PrelimI-
nary Surveys May BE Made.

nary surveys NAY he Ik2ues
The Second Comptroller, Mr.. w. W.
Upton, yesterday rendered the following decision
in the matter referred TO him by the Secretary of
War relative to the correct mode of paving pre-
liminary expenses for the construction of free
bridge across the Potomac: The act expressly re-
quired the Secretary, in case bridge is to be
built to cause the preliminary surveys to be made
and advertisements to be published. If a contract
shall be made and approved there is no question
that the expenses of such surveys and advertise
ments can then be paid out of the appropriation
made by the act. If however, after these expenses
shall have been incurred, contract shall
not be made and approved such expenses can, it
is believed be paid out Of other existing appro-
priations at all events. They can be audited and
reported to Congress for appropriations should no
other mode of payment be found. Should pur-
chase be made under section . of this act these
preliminary expenses would in my opinion. be-
come Immediately payable out Of the appropria-
ton made by the act under consideration. Should
the Secretary decide TO
CONSTRUCT NEW BRIDGE
the purchase of the land necessary for approaches
and piers would be incident to that work, and
such purchase could be made in advance of let
ting the contract but think payment therefor
should be deferred until the contract shall be en-
tered into for the construction of the bridge This
decision gives the necessary authority to pro-
coed with the surveys, and the work will De
begun at once. The Secretary of War deemed it
necessary TO have surveys made of the proposed
sites, in order to determine the cost of the work.
Until this is done the side TO be used for the
ton of the bride will not be determined. By the
law not more than $4,000 can be used for the pur-
chase of the Adueduct Bridge. The company has
shown a desire to estimate their property as highly
as possible, and not at all willing to make any
concessions to the Government. 1t is a singular
fact in this connection that the Government owns
nearly half of the capital stock of the company,
but has never been represented at any of the meet
ings of the managers or had any voice in the man
agement of the affairs Of the company. The capt.
tai stock is S6S0,G0O, and the Government owns
caoa oGnu
