In my message ofJanuary seventeenth,
1868;1 informed . the Legislature that
*f the balance in raVor of the Geiwral.Gov
truirient for .reunsylvania's quota of
di
.rect tax levied in the several Suitei for
net parposes;and for cash from the Unit
ed,State, amounting in all to nearly. two
millions of, dollars, bus been settled. in
fall by the' allowance of claims ter extra
ordinary expenses incurred by the State
during ,the war. lii consequence of the
lapse of time since the remaining claims
were contracted, the. want of sufficient
vouchers and explanation's, mad the dill
culty-of finding the parties, some of them
being dead,. by whom they should.be made,
render their settlement difficult, and iu
.many instances doubtful, the aecoMplish
went
. ot which, however, be vigor
ously pursued, and the result laid before
.the legislature,"
Lately public attention has been per
sistently dire yed.to the subject of these
claims, and their collection from .the Na
tional Government; and in view of the
action which it limy be your duty to take
in reference thereto, the following facts
showing whutthese claims consisted of,
the - measures taken by the State for their
recovery, and the succesa resulting there
trom, are snbtnitted to aid you in your de
liberations.. •
By a statute of Congress, approved Ju
ly. twenty-seventh, 1861, entitled "An
Act to indemnify the States for expenses
incurred by them in defense of the Unit
ed States," it is•movided " That the Sec
retary of the Treasury be, and he is here
bp directed, out of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to
pay, to the Governor of any State; or to
his duly authorized agents, the cost - , charg
es, and expenses, properly incurred by
such State for enrolling, su bsisting. cloth
iig,:supplyingoirming,; equipping. paying
and transportiligita troops employed in
aiding, to suppruis the present insurrec
tion against the United States, to be set
tled upon proper vouchers, to be filed and
passed upon by .the proper accounting
officer of the Treasury." • •
By another act of Congress; • approved
August sth, 1801, entitled "An Act to
provide lamented revenue from imports
to - pay interest on the :public debt, and for
other purposes," there was levied a din•St
tax upon the several . States, Territories
and the District of Columbia. of twenty
Million of dollars; with the privilege to
those States of collecting and paying the
quota of their Mx into the irreasury of
the United States, of a deduction or al
lowance of fifteen per cent; as compensa
for the expenses attending the col
lection.
Pennsylvania's portion of this tax
Mrtonrited to $1.946,719 the payment
of which the Slates aSstunkl.
The fifty-third section ;of the statute
last referred, to .providesl That the
atrionni.--er-41-CivetAwcaprpittioned to any
State; Territory or the lEstrict of Colum
bia, shall be Wade to be lend and satisfi
ed, in whole or in part, by ,the release of
such State, Territory or District, duly ex
ecuted to the United States, of any fiqui
dated and determined claim of stud; State,
TC'yritory or District of equal amount
against the United States: . Provided,
That in case of such release, Each State,
Territory or District shall be allowed the
same abatement of the amount of such
tat as would be allowed in case of pay
ment of the Mme in money."
Under the act of Congress referred to,
of July 27th,•1861, claims on the part of
the State against the United States were
filed, amounting in the, aggregate to
$3,172,218 19.
It was in reference to the first and sec
ond- instalments 'of the claims so tiled,
that my pr2deceSsnr,Goverr.or Curtin, in
