What Is Shown by the Original Draft of
the Murch Charges.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-In the original
draft of the charges preferred by ex-Repre-
sentative Murch against Supervising Archi-
tect Hill and other treasury officials, the
names of General Benjamin F. Butler. James
G. Blaine and Eugene Hale appear in cold
type, with single ink line drawn through
them as having been connected with the al
legged granite ring. In their unamended
form the charges set forth that General
Butler is largely interested in the Cape
Ann Granite Company, and that the
alleged frauds against the government in
that companys contract were effected large
ly through the influence and for the benefit
of General Butler and his agents. Eugene
Hale and James G. Blaine are charged with
having profted largely through changes in
the government contracts with the Bodwell
Granite Company, and Mr.. Blaine is repre-
sented as being heavily interested in the
Collins Granite Company, which is named as
a ring concern.
lit is understood that the names of these
gentlemen do not appear in the charges as
presented to the committee of investigation.
Ed. Journal

tigation has sent out letter to the parties

PREFERRED CREDITORS.
They are Not Allowed to Collect Claims
Against Debtors at Washington.

They are Not Allowed to Collect Claims
Against Debtors at Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-First Comptroller
Lawrence, of the Treasury Department. to-
day rendered decision upon the following
case: In 1880 John ]. Pullian, a citizen of
Tennessee, employed Washington lawyer to
prosecute a claim against the government.
The claim was allowed, and in 1882 a treas
ury draft was made to Pullian and delivered
to the lawyer. The latter claimed a fee of
81, 500. This claim he assigned to the Ger
man-American National Bank, which failed
and delivered Pnllian's draft to the receiver
of the bank. PullIaD died in Tennessee An
administrator was there appointed to admin
lister his affairs, and an administrator was
also appointed in the District of Columbia
The bank receiver applied to the First Comp
troller to instruct the Treasurer to
pay the draft on the Endorsement of
the District administrator, which
was refused, because the Supreme Court had
decided that i'll such case payment must be
made to the Tennessee administrator. The
receiver then filed creditors bill in equity
in the District against the District admins
traitors attorney, and by published notice
attempted to make the Tennessee admins
traitor party defendant A decree was made
that the receiver should indorse and collect
the money on the draft, retain $1,000, and
pay the residue into court for the Tennessee
administrator. The decree was presented to
the First Comptroller with request that he
instruct the Treasurer to make payment.
Judge Lawrence decides that the legal title
to the draft is vested in the Tennessee admin
istrator. This was decided by the Supreme
Court; that payment cannot be made to
the receiver unless the title of the
Tennessee administrator has been
dvested and vested in the receiver. The
legal title of the Tennessee administrator has
not been divested, because he could not be
sued in the District even ii he was found

RAILWAY MAIL CONTRACTS.
A Decision of the Court of Claims Reversed
by the Supreme Court.

Decision of the Court of Claims Reversed
by the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 1S-Certain railroads
to which grants of land have been made, in
the ordinary course of business executed
contracts with the Postoffice Department to
carry mails from July 1, 1875, to June 80.
1879 at rates fixed under the act of March
3, 1873. An act was passed in 1876 to re-
duce the pay to all railroad companies 10
per cent, and to certain land-grant roads 80
per cent. 1t was decided that land-grant
roads, under the contract, were subject to
this reduction. In pursuance of the law
of 1875 the Postoffice Department
withholds this amount. Some of
Court of Claims to recover the amount
so withheld. The Court of Claims held that
Congress had authority to pass the act max
ing the reduction, and that the government
was not liable for the amount in suit. This
ruling, on appeal to the Supreme Court was
reversed. That court held that contracts be-
tween the United States and railroads were
binding on both parties for the full term of
four years; that the act of Congress under
which the reduction was made was un-
authorized, and that the railroads were
entitled to the amount withheld by the
Postotfice Department. The Supreme Court
having thus settled the law and the railroads
being entitled to the full COMPENSATION pro-
vided in their contracts under this decision,
the Postmaster-general directed the payment
of all pending claims of the same character
without further litigation.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 1s-To-day, in
the United States Court, ex-United States
Marshal J. T. Brown, jr., was convicted of
perjury, having been previously convicted
of forgery.
Under an act passed by the Legislature
during reconstruction, Phillips, Monroe, St.
Francis, Jefferson, Chicot and other counties
issued bonds for various purposes, some for
$4,000, others for 100000, making very
heavy aggregate. The counties mentioned,
several years later, resisted payment, declar-
ing the law unconstitutional. Recently the
Supreme Court of the State, in the Jefferson
county case, declared the act constitutional,
and to-day the United States District Court
delivered an opinion that the counties owe
the debt and must pay the bonds.

WASHINGTON April 18.-In an interview

remain in Washington nearly all of next
week, and that as soon as the President re-
turned from his Southern trip he would dis
cuss the vacant United States judgeship with

press his preference, saying he would talk
with the President before giving the press
his views. The selection of judge has been
virtually left with him, and he is considera-
bly, perplexed, nearly every town apd hamlet
in the State having presented a candidate. 1t
is evident that an impression prevails in some
of the out districts that the Senator will

Hines and Judging from premonitory symp-

the claims OF every candidate, and giving

1t is probable, but not certain, that the
appointment will be made in May, and Judge

rary gap. The Ohio appointment was de-
layed for several months.

lished. This was decided also by the Su-
preme Court. A decree here could not take
away the right of the Tennessee administra-
tor, nor give it to the receiver here. Posses
sion of the draft here could not change the
result. Judge Lawrence adds that this con-
clusion is required by public interests. Citi-
zens i'll the States will not deal with the gov
ernment If creditors may come from all
parts of the United States and prevent them
from receiving payment of money due them.
So that they may pay all creditors alike, and
not permit preference to such as come to
Washington to bring suit, the Treasurer will
be informed that he can only lawfully pay
the draft to the Tennessee administrator.
