SUIT On AN Uuu nuND.
Action Against st. Paul Citizen for
Twenty Year-0ld Deficit.

Action Against st. Paul Citizen for a
Twenty Year-0ld Deficit
A suit was filed yesterday in the United
States district court against John Harrington,
one of the bondsmen of John Whpple, who
was assistant quartermaster of volunteers
here in the year 1866. In the final exami-
nation of Whipple's accounts in 1866, it was
found in Washington that there was deficit
OF 1888. SO. There we're two securities on
his bond, William ]. Cullen and John Far
rington, and the bond was in the sum of
100000: At the time of the discovery of
the shortage it no doubt could have been ex-
planned or made good, but now that the
matter is to be pushed it develops
that Whipple's whereabouts are un-
known and William J. Cullen,
who was proprietor of the Metropolitan hotel,
is dead. Consequently Mr.. Harrington is
responsible for the amount, and suit is being
brought to recover the sum, with interest at
the rate of per cent. from Sept. 80, 1865.
1t is the opinion of Department United
States Attorney Congdon that this will be re-
covered from Mr.. Farrin gton, as there is no
statute of limitations on these bonds, and the
burden of proof rests with the defendant,
the bond itself and the showing of deposit
being ali that plaintiff is required to offer.
1t is almost impossible, after such lapse of
years, to bring evidence enough
to dispute the government docu-
ments. The injustice of these
suits, of which there is a large number at
the attorneys Office and several to be filed,
is manifest. 1t is possible that the deficits
are made to show through some error in the
department at Washington, or could be
righted by the officer affected if at once
traced upon discovery. At least if immedi-
ate attention was given to such matters upon
their first appearance the amounts could be
recovered from the officer. After twenty
years, almost, to bring it up and ask in
terest from the date of deficit works piece
of great injustice. Yet these cases are COM
ing up with frequency.

this improvement will have to be made,

can be found upon which to assess the dam

necessary or proper at the present time and

Important Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-In the case
of VIM. j. Hamilton, VS.. the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, involving the
claim of a settler to a tract of land within
the grant, which was resisted by the com
pany on technical grounds, respecting the
original settler qualifications as pre- emp
tor. Commissioner Sparks holds hat the
settlement of the claim is proven by occu-
patton and improvements, although not
placed on record, except the land from
withdrawal, and that the railroad com
pany cannot be held to attack settlers
qualifications or compliance with the law
under the public land laws of the United
States. The principal Of this decision, is
that the lands occupied by actual settlers
as well as land held under the claims
of the record, are excepted for railroad
grant and withdrawal, and being so ex
cepted at the proper time would not pass
to the railroad even if a settlement of the
claim should afterward prove defective as
against the United States. COMMISSIONS
Sparks further holds that the question
would then be between the original anC
subsequent settler as the case might be
and the governme 1t, and can never b
made a question between the settler and
the railroad company. In other words
that the land grant OF railroads canno
pursue settlers and challenge the validit
of their claims as against the Unite
