WASHINGTON, June s. - Con-
gresham Daniel, of Wst Virginia,
who is also Senator elect, is very out
spoken in his opinion of ddge Fuller
toms proposition that theiovernment
is bound to pay ConfeGrate bonds
He said to your correspondent to-day:
"The claim is a palpab' absurdity,
and the amendment to he Federal
constitution forbids it This alone
disposes OF the questiu. In the
second place, the Uni'eC States Su-
preme Court has decided hat Confed-
erat4 securities never ta,a lesal con-
stitutional ,Xists nee, sndthat settles
them. In the third plac, the theory
of the war was that the Confederate
States had no le,al eXItence The
vicIors in the war would s,oon think
of reviving the Coniedercy IS of pay
ing its debts, and the me who were
Confedera es a as little d sposed as
their former foes TO pay them.
In the fourth place, tire is no
law, 70 equity, no pr ncil lie OF honor
and TO rea on OF eXpedincy to sug-
gest that the United safes or that
anybody should pay the onfederate
debt. Evidently 5 ecula0ra snd job
bers are Try ng TO max turn in
Confederate bonds, and eidently also
only the ignorant AMI unya'y will be
caught by such C aft rs thrown be-
fore them. Judge Fu.l'rOn is an able
lawyer, aud | have no dea that be
can entertain the slightest notion OF
success. He speaks for lients, as he
has a riqht to do and hiSclients have
a right to be heard il the ant to Re,
but they are on the wildet kiLd If a
wild goose chase, and il they expect
the United States to pa. them any
thing, they are themselvs the widest
kind OF wild geese"
