War Claims-Strange Differences Between
Auditing Officers.
We clip the following from an Eastern
paper:
E"The quarternaster general has recent
ly published his report for 1880 and a
glance at that portion of it which relates
general public-shows that on July I,
claims on file, amounting to Sc, ,SO1, ,272. 63,
and that "a additional claims amount,
ing to $427, ,279. % were fled during the
Of
1879. These claims are exclusive of
clatms," which originated during the
war, and comes mainly from Missouri,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland and other
border States where the people were
largely rebels during the war, but now
claim to have been "truly loyal"
''Of this class of claims itappears that
II, ,649, amounting to s5,523, ,294, were on
hand on the lst of July, 1879, and that
12,757, amounting to 1851, ,051.56, were
received during the year, making a total
of "a ,406 claims, amounting to $l3, $780,
345.56, of which 1916 were passed upon
by the quartermaster general, and $751;
5000 allowed.

an allowance of $176, ,550.02 on claims
amounting to $25s, 1896, on about
Is per centum, and Capt. A. F.
Rockwell investigated 365 claims, and
recommended an allowance of $50, $751;
on claims amounting to 1926, ,397.05, or
about 22115 per centum.
"The percentage recommended by these
officers last year was: Col. ingalls,, 2-5 of
per cent, Col. Ekin about 1919 per
cent, and Capt. Rockwell about 2l34 per
cent.
"The amounts claimed and allowed are
not as large as might be supposed. but
the disparity in the percentage of allow

officers charged with their Investigation
