What High Business Authorities Have to Say About Them. From Financial Column of the Philadelphia Ledger. lu reply to tho inquiries, "What is the aggregate amount of Southern war claims paid since the war ? Also proportionate amounts of same for which appropriations were made by Congress when the Republicans aud Democrats respectively were in the majority ? Also what amount of such claims are pending unsettled ?" the Journal of Commerce, based on infor mation obtained directly from the hooks of the department of Washing ton, first premising that "Southern war claims" is a very indefinite term, but supposing the inquiry refers to the so-called claims of loyal citizens for property used or destroyed by the United States government during the icar in elates recognized in rebellion, answers that By the act of March 3d, 1871, the Forty-first Congress (the Republicans in a large majority in both branches) created what has been known as the Southern Claims Commission, consist ing of three commissioners. This tri bunal had jurisdiction overall citizens of the United States who during the rebellion were "loyal adherents to the cause and the government of the Tuited States," and who had claims for stores or supplies taken or furnish ed for use of the army or navy of the United States in states proclaimed as in insurrection and claims for the use or loss of vessels or boats while em ployed iu the service of the govern- j meut in such states. The tribunal 1 was orgauized by the appointment of j three pronounced Republican comtnis- j sioners. The two must important rul- | ings of the commission were (1) that ; every claimant should prove his loy alty affirmatively, and (2) that the term "stores aud supplies" should em- j brace not only quartermaster and com missary supplies, but also engineer, ordnance and medical supplies, in- j eluding cotton used in hospitals, and the materials of buildings ami fences ' when torn down and used for fuel. The Southern claims commission ex pired oil the 10th of March, 1880. Duriug the nine years of its existence Congress appropriated in round num bers $4,500,000 for the payment of claims allowed hy the commission. Special private relief acts, making i appropriations for the payment of claims for the use or loss of property j of loyal citizens in states in rebellion were passed by the Thirty-ninth (1*65- '157), Fortieth (1867-'69), Forty-first (1869-'7l), Forty-second (I*7l-'73), and Forty-third (1873-'75) Congresses j (all largely Republican), the appro priations aggregating over $500,000. One of these special acts appropri ated $9,500 for the destruction of cer tain buildings; another 850,000 for cotton ; several paid specified amounts for the rent of buildings ; and one bill made an appropriation for refitting the hall of a Masonic lodge which had been damaged by the military—all in the insurrectionary states. Bills of this sort are now denounced as "rebel claims." They are thus "hoisted by their own petard." It is a noteworthy fact that, since the Democrats obtained the control of the House of Representatives in 1875, not a single dollar has been voted hy C/ongress for the payment of claims ibr the use or destruction of property during the war in the states in rebel lion, except the appropriations made to pay the awards of the Republican Southern claims commission created by a Republican Congress in 1871. r lhe awards of that commission, for which Congress has provided since 1875, amounted to 81,900,000. The act of July 4, providing that "all claims of loyal citizens in states not in rebellion for quartcrmastcrstores actually furnished to the army of the United States and receipted for by the proper officers receiving the same, or which may have been takeu by such officers without giving such re ceipt," may be presented to the quar termaster general, and that similar claims for sustenance may be submit ted to the commissary general for set tlement, was in 1866 extended to the loyal citizens of Tennessee. Previous to the fiscal year 1876 the awards made by the accounting officers under i the act of 1864 were paid by the treas ury without being submitted to Con fress. But beginning with the year 876 Congrefcs directed that the claims passed upon by the accounting offi cers should lie paid only hy s]>ecial and specific appropriations. Since that time appropriations amounting to about $400,000 have been made to pay the claims of loyal citizens of Tennes see passed upon by the accounting offi cers of the treasury. It thus appears that the total amount of claims for the use or loss of property in the stales in rebellion, paid by appropriations made by Congress, has been about $5,500,000. All these appropriations were made by or in pursuance of laws passed by Republi can Congresses. There are other classes of claims which have been created and recog nized by general legislation passed by Republican Congresses in 1863, 1864 and 1872. The act of March 13, 1863, as amended by the act of duly 2, 1864, authorized tho appointment of agents by the secretary of the treasury, to collect and forward to the loyal states all personal property (ex cept ships, boats, arms and munitions of war) captured by tho United States forces in insurrectionary states, and also to collect and transfer as such property found abandoned, either in fact or in law, by tho absence of the owner engaged in aiding the rebellion ; the property to bo sold, and the pro ceeds, less all expenses, to be paid ints the treasury. It was further provided that the owners of such property might by petition in the court of claims, to be filed within two years of the end of the rebellion, receive the proceeds of such property in the treas ury upon satisfactory proof of owner ship, their right to the proceeds there of, and that they never had given aid or comfort to the rebellion. The su preme court decided that August 20, 1866, was the date marking the end of the rebellion ; hence the limitation to the filling of the above class of claims was August 20, 1868. Under the act cf 1*64, $28,818,038, the pro ceeds of captured and abandoned property, were covered into the treas ury. Of that amount the court of claims has returned by award over $11,000.000. Claims to the amount of about $10,000,000 filed before August 20, I*6B, are still pending. Most of them, without doubt, will be disal lowed. The act of July 4, 1 h<4, enlarged the jurisdiction of the accounting of ficers, and included cases where tlie stores anil subsistence in question had been furnished to or taken by the army without the strict legal form as prescribed by the rules of the depart ments. The time within which these claims could be filed expired January 1, 1880, the work of adjusting and allowing which has been going on quietly for H years. Recent inquiry discloses the fact that the quartermas ter geueral and commissary general allowed over 94,700,000 under the act of July 4, 1804, ami have disallowed about 925,000,000. There are some j 25,000 of these claims yet to be dis- | posed of, the amount claimed aggre gating about 910,000,000. All this ' work has been done under a law pass-1 ed bv a Republican Congress sixteen years ago. Most of the claims of this class come from Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, Tennessee, and West Virginia, and cannot be accurately called Southern war claims in the sense used when speuking of the claims allowed by the Southern claims j commission. 2. As to the amount of Southern j war claims (or claims coming from states which seceded) pending unset tled, it is impossible to speak definite ly. On this point there is just now a great deal of loose talk. The loyal claimants of the seceded states have had their "day in court." They were given nine years before the Southern claims commission. There were pre sented to that tribunal 22,298 claims, the amount claimed (of course exag gerated) being $60,000,(MM), The com mission disposer! of 17,000 cases, allow ing 94,500,000, and disallowing about $40,0<H),000. At the same time the commission expired (March 10, 1880) there were pending 5,250 cases, claim ing 915,009,000. Rut no evidence had been filed in these eases, and they were under the law "forever barred." So far as the so-called 'rebel claims' are concerned, it ought to be under stood that ( on gross has never passed either a general or a special act pay ing any person who was disloyal dur ing the war for the use or destruction of property by the government during the war, and no senator or representa tive from the North or the Houth, Re publican or Democrat, has ever pro posed in Congress, by bill or otherwise, to pay disloyul persons or classes of disloyal persons for the loss or use of projierty by the armv or the govern ment in the seceded States during the rebellion. A New York journal a few days ago printed a list of seventy Democratic senators and representa tives each of whom, it was asserted, had introduced some measure to "facil itate the passage of rebel claims." If this declaration is intended to convey the idea that these senators and repre sentatives have introduced bills to pay "rebels" or disloyal persons for the use or destruction of property during the war, it is a gross misrepresentation. As an illustration of how reckless is much of the talk about "rebel claims," take the proposition to refund what is known as the cotton tax. That was an internal revenue tax on cotton collected during the years 1866, 1867 and 1868, after the close of the war. It was subsequently declared uncon stitutional by the supreme court. The proposition to refund the tax is no more a "rebel claim" than the refund of customs duties illegally collected at the port of New York. It had far more friends in the Republican Con gresses six or eight years ago than it has ever had since that time. There isn't the remotest probability of its passing Congress under any circum stances. It no longer figures among the possibilities except in the unscru pulous minds of party leaders and in the vaporingsof party journals during political campaigns. AUDITOR GENERAL. The Importance of the Office ami the Democratic Nominee's Qualifications for It. The Auditor General of Pennsylva nia is an important officer. The law imposes upon him various duties re lating to the public treasury and the revenue of the commonwealth, and the welfare of the State requires that he should not only be honest, hut en tirely competent to execute the duties of the office. These duties are set forth in Acts of Assembly that have been passed from time to time, and this officer is vested with power to strength en the revenues of the State and to prevent dishonest use of the puhlie moneys. It is his duty to annually examine the situation of the public treasury in relation to the moneys therein and the deposits in the several hanks, and also, if tie deems it neces sary, to examine the accounts of the State Treasurer, with the several hanks and their branches in which the public moneys are deposited. The officers of the hank are required to permit the Auditor General to make this examination, and a penalty is im posed upon the State Treasurer for his refusal to exhibit to the Auditor Gen eral his hooks, papers or documents, or the moneys reserved in his office to meet occasional demands. The Auditor General is also author ized to take legal measures to recover ! all moueys due to the commonwealth j from every person who shall appear ' on a settlement of his accounts, to be I indebted; and he has authority to ! employ counsel for this purpose. The accounts for all expenditures for the State Lunatic Hospital are sub ject to the scrutiny of the Auditor General. In settling these accounts, and the accounts for the contingent and other expenses of tlie legislature and other departments of the govern- ' meat, he has power to inquire into the correctness and fairness of the prices charged, and to disallow all over charges. All companies incorporated under the laws of the commonwealth for manufacturing and mining purposes, or for the improvement of mining lands, are required to make an annual report to the Auditor General of the w hole amount of capital paid in, the total indebtedness, the amount of goods manufactured, or minerals and metals mined, and a general exhibit of their operations for the preceding year. It is then the duty of the Auditor Gen eral to prepare a condensed statement, in tabular form, of such reports, and submit the same to the legislature. All accounts for public printing j pass through the hands of the Auditor General, and he has power to cheek extravagance in this department. . He is required to have printed an nually his reports on Finances, on Railroads, Canals and Telegraph Com panies, and on -State Banks and Sav ings Institutions. The State Military Board, created by la w tor the purpose of auditing and adjusting all military claims in cident to the organization and discip line of the National Guard, is com posed of the Auditor General, togeth er with the Adjutant General and | State Treasurer. It will thus be seen that the duties of the Auditor General of this State ' are various and complicated. He should have capacity to examine, in terpret and apply the Acts of Assem bly relating to taxation, and the ma- i terial interests of the State ; he should have executive ability to enforce the! powers vested in liini by law. Should j the office be filled by an incompetent or dishonest person it is en.y to see | that the revenues of the commonwealth would lie endangered, and the door ojieiied for fraud and corruption. While the law does not require the Auditor General to he learned iu the law, it is of great importance tlmt he should have a legal training in order to understand thoroughly the duties of the office. The voters of the State have heretofore applied this gcueral principle by selecting gentlemen of legal education and experience. For I the past twenty years the office hns, in ; every instance,been filled hy a lawyer. Originally this officer was appointed hy the Governor of the State, hut since 1851 he has leen elected by the people, and up to the preseut time the people have always selected gentlemen from the legal profession. The following embraces all who have held the office hy virtue of election, and it is a coin cidence that thev were all lawyers: Ephraim Banks, Jacob fry, Jr., Thos. E. Cochran, Isaac Hlenker, John F. Hartranfl, Harrison Allen, Justus F. Temple, and William P. Schcll. (Jf the candidates for Auditor Gen ernl presented this year to the voters of Pennsylvania, the Democratic can didate, Colonel Robert P. Dechert, is not only a reputable citizen and a distinguished soldier, hut he is well versed in the principles of the law, ami lias practiced his profession in the Courts of Philadelphia county and in the Supreme Court for the past twelve years. His opponent, Mr. John A. Ixmion, has had no such experience. He is neither a lawyer nor an account ant. He was for mauy years employ ed about the construction of railroads, and latterly has beeu a contractor. Wo believe that the independent voters of the State will respect the tra ditions of the office, and will not over look a candidate who is so eminently qualified for the positiou for which he | has been nominated. We predict for Col. Dechert an overwhelming major ity of the intelligent and conservative vote at the coming election. They Vote an They Hhot.

The hinge* of our gates turn the same way but with different results. The baby strikes a toddle because it hasu't strength enough to walk, hut it ho* the underlying principle of a natural walk, because it " toes in." " Toeing out " is a military artifice, invented for the express purpose of showing how much more a man knew than the Isird. The hippity, hoppity, skip and jump is peculiarly the little girl's gait. Uneasy and restless the flutter-budget seems determined to wear the sole of her shoe and the soul of her mother out at the same time ; but she is the prettiest picture of animation human ity can snow. The dead run all out of breath is the small boy's gait. You can set down the boy who so far forgets him self as to walk as already in his dotage. The bound-to-have-it-gait is a rapid straight-forward stride, never turning to the right or left. The man who has it knocks over children, harks his shins against market baskets, and stubs his toe against everything on the walk. But he gets there, and his coat tail arrives about two minutes later. There is the slow measured, gait, tread, tread, tread all day long. The man who carries the hod has his pe culiarity down fine. He wouid run to a fire in the same step, and get there —possibly. The long lope, thirty-four inches tea the step, with a sag of the knee joint, a vigorous swing of the arms, is that of the youug man from Ruraldom. He gets the walk from going over the rough ground, and anybody that gets the best of him has got rough ground to go over. The quick, sharp and spiteful gait with the little metallic heels ringing on the pavement, is the gait of the smart young miss, with bright eyes and lots of vivacity.

The press of the country has been profuse in warnings, but these have had no effect in arresting the mistakes of slovenly and unintelligent farming, in promoting the employment of capital in agriculture, or in divert ing the jieople from their persistence in the employment of old-fashioned methods and clumsy machinery. The "granary of Europe," in fact, is thor oughly rat-riddled, and needs to he rebuilt from the foundations.
