The Somerset Herald.- . June 3, 1S74. The stoauisLip lVmisykorjia, tbal wiled from Philadelphia to Liverpool, ou Saturday last, took out as part of Lor cargo one Lundrcd and eighty mowing and reaping machine a. New Vobk Lasn't bad a Pemocrat k Vnited States Senator for thirty rear?. John A. Pis, the present Re publican Governor, was the last Pom nrratie Senator from that State. The Philadelphia JU'lklin states that two fast day trains will soon be put on the road between Philadelphia end Pittsburgh, which will stop only ntllarrisburgand Altoona, and run at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, making the distance from Philadel phia to Pittsburg in ten hours. The retiring editor of a Southern turner boasts that lie has never been horsewhipped, revolvered, knifed, kicked, licked, bricked, pummeled or eussed for anything I have taid, writ ten, done or left undone as an editor, and in ceasing to be one I am filled with a melancholy sadness." The death of J. Kdgar Thompson, the able and energetic President of the Pennsylvania llailroad Company, will urove a great loss to that cor poration. His great executive abil- itv hi?h personal character, and rare on"-ineerin'r talent placed him at the head of the able and successful rail road officials, of this country, while his uputation abroad was of vast importance to the interests ot me road of whose business he so long had charge. The Arkansas Legislature has, by an almost unanimous vote, passed a resolution calling on United States Senators Clayton and Poreey to re sign, and requesting the United States Senate, in case of their refusal to va cate their seats within ten days, to investigate the charges set forth in the resol ution. The charges are, that they procured their election by bri bery, treasonably conspired with P.rooks and others to overthrow the State government and attempted to corrupt the jndiciary of the State. If the cities of the plain could not be saved for lack of ten righteous men, it is hard to predict what fate may have in store for New York, where it appears not one honest man can be found. Last year Mayor llavemeyer was elected by the citi zens in opposition to the political par ties, specially to reform the abuses of the Tweed ring, and now, if the journals of that city are believed, he is sharing the spoils with the corrupt ring his fTHt-Il. election was intended to A mix recently introduced into the Senate by Senator Cameron, look ing to the improvement of the naviga tion of the Suspiehanne, will com mend itself to general BupporL It provides for a survey of the Susque hanna river from Chesapeake bay to the Xew York state line, and thence through Seneca lake, across the Erie canal, to Lake Ontario. The object is to ascertain the practicability of steamboat navigation by this route from Lake Ontario to the Chesapeake, by means of dams, locks and canals. If such a survey demonstrates the practicability of improving the navi potion of the Susquehanna, so as to nr.ikc it available, it will be of great advantage to this state. The celebrated seven thousand dol lar package, given to Senator York, of Kansas, to secure his vote fur lVmeroy in the Senatorial election, which Mr. York produced in tkc .Kiut Convention, to the discomfiture f Old Subsidy, is again the subject of public interest Mr. Francis, the new State Treasurer, has receipted f.r it among other valuables in the State Treasury, but does not know what to do with it. York, who only look it in order to entrap Ponieroy, will have nothing to do with it Pora eroy's explanation of the affair was that the money was given in trust to York for one Page, who was to start a national bank on it; but Page has relinquished all claim to it. So the cash remains in the treasury without an owner. It is universally admitted, wc be lieve, that history is constantly re peating itself. Here for instance is Massachusetts' early history being repeated in Mexico. Among the lat est items of news from that not dis tant country is the following: -Cut of Mexico, May IS, via Ha vanna. Senor Castilla, Alcadc of Jacobi, in the State of Sinaloa, has officially reported to the Prefect of Lis district that on April 4th he ar rested, tried and burned alive Jose Maria IJonilla and Lis wife, Piega, or sorcery, it Laving been proved that they Lad bewitched one Sylvestre Zacarias. The day before the execu tion, citizen Porras, as a final test, made Zacarias take three swallows of blessed water, whereupon the lat ter vomited fragments of blanket and bunches of Lair. The Alcade states that the people were exasperated against the sorcerers, and demanded tli at they Iw burned. The sentence was executed with bis approval, and be advised that be Las Lis eye on other sorcerers against whom com plaints Lave been made by citizens. The official Dlario of this city con firms the report of the outrage, and v says several families in town Lave since compelled the officer to burn another old woman and bcr son for the same cause. The General Gov-t-rnnient Las asked the authorities ot Sinaloa to send a detailed report of these proceedings, and take measures to protect the livesof persons threat ened with similar violence.' The Puritans did not burn a witch with more complacency and appreci ation of doing a meritorious act than docs this Mexican Alcade, judging from Lis report to Lis superior. To sure this little transaction docs not say much for the enlightenment o. he nineteenth centnry, but then wha may not this repetition of Listory lead to in the course of another bun dred years. TLe thought gives us a livelv bone for the future of Mexico Tnx case of the ft male eruadors arrested and fined by the atitlfni.c.- of Pittsburgh, was carried by a u rit of certiorari to the Court of Common Pleas, where the Mayor's proceed ings were reversed, and the ladies ordered to be released and the amount of their fines restored. The Court intimated that they could be prosecut ed criminally as a nuisance, but held that they could not be summarily ar rested and fined for praying and sing ing in public, thereby attracting crowds that obstructed the sidewalks. The Athens Gconjian gives this ad vice to its Southern friends: " Y e would respectfully suggest to all for mer slave owners to preserve a cor rect list of their slaves, and Lave their names recorded in the clerk's office of their respective counties. This will require but little trouble and expense, and the day may come when a nation's returning sense of justice might make this a wise pre sent precaution. Stranger things than the payment by the general gov ernment for our emancipated slaves have happened, and improbable as it may now seem, yet it may be. Let the record lc made ; it will serve as a contribution to history, if not as a step toward securing our just and correct deserts.'' Nothing but the Lope of a return of the Democratic party to nation power could inspire the expectation that the day may come when the gov eminent will pay for the slves eman cipated during the rebellion. An immense crop of Wheat is ex torted in California this year. Two 4 . million acres are sown, and the usual average there is 20 bushels to the acre ; but this year a greater average is expected as more than the usual amount of rain has fallen ihe great need to secure a large wheat crop in that State. Already the California people, in true American 6tyle, have -discounted the crop," and arc talk ing of how to move and ship it, and what to do with their profits. The export will be about thirty million bushels. Purinjr the vear ending December 31, 1873, tic entire wheat export of the United States was fifty six million bushels, so that California alone in 1874 will export more than half as much as the whole country did the year before, and it will cost nineteen million dollars for the simple freight to get this wheat to its custo mers, and yet all these vast figures relate to the products and industries of a State whose pioneer settlers are but celebrating the twenty-fifth anni versary of their arrival. It is well known that previous to its adoption, this journal was not in love with the new constitution, and that wc took frequent occasion to expose its crudities and point out its ambiguous and contradictory sections. A large majority in the Common wealth took a different view of the instrument, and it became the su preme law, with all its imperfections. The result we anticipated swiftly fol lowed. A brief trial and a calm anal ysis satisfied the best legal minds of the State that it must be revised, and accordingly a bill was passed by the late Legislature providing for the ap pointment of a commission to revise it and prepare amendments. Accord ingly the Governor has appointed for that purpose Chief Justice Agncw, Judge H. W. Williams, of Tioga, Senator W. A. Wallace, of Clearfield, A. T. McClintock, of Luzerne, At torney General Pimmick, Senator Play ford, of Fayette, and ex-Attorney General B. 11. Brewster of Phil adelphia. The composition of this commission is universally approved by the press of both parties. AH of its members except one voted for the new Constitution, and none of them were members of the Convention except Attorney General Pimmick, who held a scat in it a few weeks previous to accepting his present po sition. It is not very compl imentary to the hundred and three lawyers who fram ed this instrument that their work Las so soon to be revised, but the ab solute necessity for it was admitted throughout the State. We trust that this commission will, by correcting the blunders of the callow document forced upon the people with such hot haste that time was not permitted for discussion or consideration, give us a fundamental law felt to be an im provement upon the old one which wc had outgrown. fnaltalita la Colorado. Washington, May 23. The agent at Los Tinos Indian agency, Color ado, reports to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs the circumstances by which five men lost their lives lately while on the Ute Indian reservation. One of a party of six, on arriving at the agency, was questioned as to what bad become of bis companions. He said that they bad probably died from hunger and cold, 6ince they left him to bis fate when Lis feet were frozen. After closer investigation, there being suspicious circumstances, the man, whose name is Packet; con fessed under oath that one after an other of these five persons had been killed and eaten, and that be himself had killed the last remaining man only a few miles from the agency. He excepted only the first two vic tims, of whom be spoke as having died from starvation, He said that they ate the dead bodies before be ginning to kill one another. Packer has been turned over to the civil magistrate, who will investigate the affair by a regular inquest, and be will be proceeded against in accor dance with the law. A Bora UnnaM. P ittkbvrq May 30 On Wednes day night thet barn of Mr. Yoester, in Stewardstown, about Sharpsburg, took fire and was burned to the ground. Mr. Yoester's little girl, aged five years, and the hired man went into the barn with a lantern. The lantern by some means was overturned and set fire to the contents. In the con fusion that followed the little girl was forgotten, and being probably too much terrified to escape, was burned to death. CI B NEW VUHK LETTER. New YnrtK, June 1874. OLD MEN. New York has fewer old men in proportion to its population than any city in the civilized world. The poor die early, of course, for tho poor in this r ty have not the comforts nec- cssarv to tho prolongation of lite; and tlie iich or those aspiring to be rich, by, which I mean the busi ness men live altogether too rapid a life to last long. TLe man who commences at twenty-three with ten thousand dollars or its equivalent in cheek, and on that capital does a bus iness of a half million per annum, is not going to live to sec fifty, unless indeed, he has extraordinary luck or an extraordinary constitution. His life is one of the hardest kind of work, and of the most consuming excite ment Plethoric to day on the verge of bankruptcy to-morrow ; with nothing in the morning with which to pay a Lundrcd thousand dollars in the afternoon. It is a life that wears faster than any other labor in the world. It is one cverlasting.nev-er-ending strain, from morning till night, and if the cares of tue day en able him to sleep at night, he is luckv. But. nevertheless, there arc a few old men in New York, who Lave sur vived the strain and wear and tear of business. MAYOR IIAVF.MEYER is over seventy, and bids rair to live twenty years yet He is of Gcrnian descent, and "though he has lived through all the excitinsr periods of New York history, has persistently refused to get at all excited. He has had a steady, standard business su gar refining and Las followed it with all the steadiness of the German. He has taken active part in politics he was Mayor thirty years ago has been and is a "bank President ; but in all he lives quietly and mod estly, goes to bed regularly at night, cats rood wholesome food, uses stim ulants with trrcat moderation, aud olwnvs sails on an even keel. If his house should get on fire, Mayor Hav emever would walk out of it dcliber atclv; and if his refineries should burn, the loss wouldn't bother mm a particle. He would go to work and rebuild, and go on. He will refine Kiin-ar till he dies, and then his sons will do it after him not that they have any need to do business, but because thev have a habit in that way. Sugar is their mission. PETER CtKiPER, known the world over for his benevo lence and his glue, is another seven ty-five-vear-older. A man of little more than medium height, with gray hair and snare face, there is nothing in his appearance that betokens the nowers he rcallv possesses. lie is one of the strongest men in the city, and at the same time one of the most progressive and liberal of the citizens benevolently, inclined. Having made an immense fortune out of glue, he de termined that the public should have its full share of his money. So he built an "Institute" in which instruc tion in the practical arts and sciences should be free to all, and give it to the city. The property is worth over a million, but it has done millions up on millions of good. G iris here learn telegraphing, wood engraving, and a number of professions that lit them for to go out into the world armed for a strife, l oung men are instructed in mctalurgy, engineering, etc., and all the expense is paid by the property. Peter Cooper is not exactly a great man, but he is an ex ceedingly good man. Everybody loves him, as everybody oujrbt He looks and acts as though he wasgood for twenty-fiye more years. Mav he live to enjoy them. PANIEL DREW Las passed his seventieth year, and is so tousrn ana wiry in uis texture, that he bid3 iair to live many years longer; though possibly could a vote le taken amonrr his associates, bis decease would not be long defered. Daniel began life as a showman, was promoted to be a tavern-keeper, and, following his instincts, drifted into Wall street, where he has been, for many years, the most feared operator of the street. He iscxtrcmelyrcligious is a devoted member of the Metho dist Church, and has built a Semina ry ;but bis professions or Lis givings Lave never yet prevented mm irom shavins his associates most unmerci fully whenever he had them in a tight place. Nothing so delights the old man as to get bis rivals in position where be can squeeze them. lie shows them no mercy he destroys them utterly. It is related of "Uncle Dan'l" that once on a time be advis ed the pr stor of a M. E. Church in New Jersey to invest in a certain stock. "But suppose I should lose" queri ed the preacher. I'm so certain that you will make money," was the reply of the good Daniel. "That if you dolose I'll make it good to you." Thus fortified the preacher did buy a trifle of the 8tock. And having so good a thing the good pastor confi dentially told thirty or forty of his flock, all of whom made haste to in vest in the stock which the saintly Daniel had as good as guaranteed to But contrary to expectation the stock went down, down, down. The preacher rushed to Uncle Daniel to redeem Lis promise, wLich the old man did by giving him a check for the amount of his loss. "The thing didn't work, did it," said Daniel. "Indeed it did not" "But my dear sir, I am distressed notwithstanding. Beinir certain of what you said to me I confided this good thing to my parishioners, and they " "Hev Io6t, hev they. Well peophi should never tech stock onless they know the market, or htv some frend like roc to make 'em good ef they lose." The joke of the thing lay in the fact that Daniel finding himself load ed with a stock that was sure to go down took this way to unload. He told the preacher, knowing that the preacher would tell his parishioners. It was be who sold them all the stock they bought He could well afford to make rood the preacher's loss, if thereby he could unload the remain der upon the preacher's friends, Daniel was handled roughly by Jay Gould and Jim risk, and be was hurt severely last fall, but despite all this be is a rich man and is a power in the street But bis riches never can make him friends, for he is too selfish. A. T. STEWART is another li rely old fellow. He has reached seventy-fire, but is as active as a man of thirty, lie is the best preserved man of his age in New York. Lvery day finds him at bis business, which goes on, enormous as it is, with the regularity and precision of clock work. He employs in Lis business $20,000,000, and bus real estate to probably three times that amount. He Iookslike a man ofcnrefu! tlmiarht, and might pass fur a physician or a clergyman. His hair is auburn, and approaches red, and retains its origi nal color. His countenance is of liuht complexion, and is so smooth and firm that he might pass for fifty. His dress is plain aud neat, all display being studiously avoided. He stands five feet six. Forty years ago he com menced trade in this city in a very small way ; but such a man could no more lc confinea to a small business than Nepoleon could be kept on Elba. Jle has thousands of employees, uses millions of dollars, and deals in an enormous variety of goods ; but so perfect is bis system, so complete his method, that I doubt if he ever loses a dollar. Each clerk has his special duties, and those duties arc so inter woven with others that the slightest sin of omission or commission must eventually be discovered. He" lives plainly, though well, and has doubt less, many long years before him. Where his money will go to, no one can form an opinion. He has no rela tives this side the water; and with those on the other side he has had no connection for vears. He is buihlinr an enormous institution up-town. which, it is supposed, he iutends to use for a "Girl's Lodging-House, " but this is not certain. The probability is that he will keep on, intending to do some great and good t -ing, but die suddenly before his plans are com pleted, and that his enormous for'unc will enrich his Irish relatives. Our only comfort will be that the estate will have to go throngh the courts in New York, which will keep the most of it in this country. VANPEUV.I lt is another man who has seen eighty, but who enjoys vigorous health. Old as he is, it was only a few years ago that he married a young wife, and notwithstanding he attends to the details of his enormous railroad business, and plays whist as regular ly as ever. He controls more miles of railway than any man but one on the continent, and his lines are all im portant. He is an iron-gray old fellow, who worked up to his present position from nothing, and who bids fair to double his already collossal fortune before he passes out. But I have gossipped long enough about the old men. It will be noticed that every one of the rich old men in the city commenced very poor, lt was in poverty that they got the strength and the habits that to-day sustains them. This is the moral of it. If I could start again, I should start poor. BUSINESS. Is horribly and fearfully dull, so dull indeed as to le no business at all. The merchant looks wistfully out into the Etreet. The salesman wears a pained look, for his occupation is gone, and the book-keeper balances himself and reads the newspapers. The West is not here, the South stays away, and the North refuses to in vest. The theatres are losing money, the hotels arc well nigh empty, and the bar-keepers mourn as those with out hope. Let us hope for a revival. ONE HI NPREP EIiITORS, all from the little State of Indiana, are in the city at the present time, comfortably quartered at tic Fifth Avenue Hotel. They have been to Cincinnati, Washington, and Phila delphia, and, after doing the metrop olis, will go home to their respective papers and grind out wisdom again. Generally speaking they are a good looking set of men. They are making a thorough thing of New York, and arc enjoying themselves hugely. THE WEATHER is absolutely glorious. The rains have gone, the voice of the organ grinder is again heard in the streets, the air is balmy, clear and bright, and everything looks as beautiful as it can. The Spring is always de lightful in New York after the rains are over. Now let business come to the city and it will be happy. Come, merchants with money, and buy. Make New York glad. The chink of money and the rustle of bank-notes should accompany the songs of the birds in the Park, to make everything serene. PlETRO. Iseroratiosi Iay. Cairo, III., May 30. A very large gathering of people attended the deco ration ceremonies at Mound City to day, all the neighboring towns being well represented. Governor Bever idge and Hon. D. W. Munn made addresses. Tolepo, O., May 30. Decoration Day was appropriately observed, all the military and civic organizations, fire department, and citizens general ly joining in the procession and as sisting Forsythe Post, G. A.

Decora tion Day was observed principally by the various colored societies, who repaired to the National Cemetery this morning. After placing flowers on the graves, they listened to ad dresses by Ed. Shaw, colored, Wharf master, and Gen. Smith, Surveyor of the Tort Chicaoo, May 30. Decoration Day was observed here in the usual manner, large numbers of people vis iting the various cemeteries where soldiers are buried, strewing the graves with flowers and evergreens and listening to patriotic speeches. All the banks, the Board of Trade, government and city offices and many business houses were closed. The day was intensely hot Dispatches from various points in the Northwest give accounts of the general observ ance of the day. Nashville, May 30. The graves of the federal dead in the National Cemetry were decorated to-day. There was an attendance of 2,500. It is reported that just after prayer a difficulty occurred among some colored people, in which one woman and cev eralmen were knocked down with rocks ; one man is reported seriously hurt. The difficulty is seriously re gretted by the better class of colored people. St. Lolis, May, 30. The ceremo ny of decoratieg the soldiers' graves was observed this afternoon at the National Cemetery at Jefferson JJar racks,afourteen miles south of this city. 'Orations were made by Col. P. E Bland and Einil Pretorius (the latter in German) on the Union side, and ex-Governor Thomas C. Rey nolds on the Confederate side; also niusic by the United States Post band, and a poem by Prof. O. II. Tethers, after whih all the graves, both Federal and Confederate, in tfcc cemetery, numbering about 10,000, were profusely strewn with flowers. The day was very warm. A great number of all classes were present. Graves of soldiers in the city cemete ries were also decorated. mRET SOT F.N. A wo man in Springfield, Ohio, had alight with a saloon keeper, and then walked up and paid her fine "like a little man.'

The Arizona crirl doesn t carry a parasol slung to her waist, but her belt is ornamented with an ivory handled rcvolxer. There is no com plaint of a lack of politeness on the part of the young man out there. Four prisoners confined in the lock up at Altoona, made their escape Thursday morning, by digging a hole through the wall. liiree of them were subsequently arrested.but one escaped from the officer while on their way to the lock-up. The Milwaukee News relates the case of one who thus glowingly de scribed the death of his wife:"I tell you when I came to get into bed, and lay thar, mil not hear Lucinda jawing around for an hour and a half, it just made me feel as if I'd moved into a Ifctrnniro rmintrv " o J ' During the war a Mr. Palluui, of Monroe Mich., was confined and beat en in Libby Prison by a rebel officer named Cady. lie has ever since nursed the insult, and last week, meet ing Cady in Monroe, he settled the lit tle difference by pummeling him grandly. Served him right. Three years ago three colored men bought a 200-acre farm in Tennessee for $3800, to be paid in three annual instalments, Their only capital was five mules, aud yet at date they have paid the whole sum, beside having supported themselves and families. They did all the work themselves. Two of the cambria Iron Company's blast furnaces, at Johnstown, will be blown out the present week. It has also been ordered that ou and after the first day of June one ceut on the dollar on the selling price of rails per ton will be paid fr mining coal, in stead of nine-tenths of a ceut as here tofore paid. Miss Mason of Portland, Ind., while house cleaning a few days, ago found a package of powder, which she put in the stove, not knowing what it was. Several of the legs of the stove were found in her hair.Jand things in that room were a good deal mixed up. The moral teaches that young ladies should not clean house. Alex. Oaph was found ded in his bed one morning last week, in West Newton. He had been bit by a dog an evening or two before and had pro cured a bottle of arnica and also a bottle of laudanum from the drug store of Mr. Leighty. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of death by the improper use of the above drugs. The old question, Does larger intox cate, come before a court in Dayton Ohio, a day or two ago. A German testified: "If you drink five or six glasses of lager in a little while you will feel more pleasant as if you drink five or six glasses of water in the same time, and if you drink five or six glasses of watcr.in a little while vou will feel more disappointed as if yon drink ffve or six glasses of lager in the same time." The jury were out four hours, and stood seven to five. Twenty-one years ago a daughter of Peter Howk, Esq., of Stroudsburg, Pa., was bitten by a mad dog. Al though cattle bitten by the same dog were seized with hydrophobia, the gir 1 did not show any symptoms of the disease. She grew to woman hood, and was married. Recently, as she was raising a glass of water to her lips, a shudder ran throug her, and in a few minutes she was seized with hydrophobia in its worst form. A number of physicians were called, but they could do nothing for her. She died in great agony. It is related of Congressman Nes mith, of Oregon, who served a term in the senate several years ago, that soon after his appearance in Washing ton some of the older members joking ly asked him what, after coming from the wild west, had first stsuck him on entering the senate. "Well, gen tleman," was the reply "when I found myself a member of that august body which is presumedly composed of tho wisest in the land, I was overwhelm ed with wonder at the thought bow I ever came to be there. My next thought was even more puzzling than the first, and that was how all you other fellows got there." Killed and Mutilated oy a Panther. The Yicksburg Times, May 15, says: "Information was brought to this city last evening of a horrible dcatb that occurred near Delta yes terday morning. A colored man, whose name we are unable to learn, started to drive a team loaded with provisions from his home near Delta to the interior of the parish. He had been gone about fifteen minutes when the team came dashing back to the house without the driver. Suspect ing something wrong, the inmates of the bouse started to find what had become of the missing man. They walked nearly a mile, when they came upon a scene that almost took their senses away, The body of a man was lying in the road, and a huge panther standing over it, eating one of the shoulders. The people ran back to their houses for their fire arms, and returned to the animal. When they got back the panther was still engaged eating his victim. They fired but did not succeed in killing it, and it ran away in the woods. They then went to the body and found that the panther bad eaten part of the head, one shoul der and one foot off. The body was taken to its home and interred. Fatal Shooting- AtTrajr. MEMPnis, May 28. A terrible shooting affray occurred to-day at Grider's Landing, just below Cat Is land, whjlc tho steamer Phil Alien was lying there, between If enry Bur nett and another planter named G ri der, who had married a widow of Butgett's brother. After exchanging some eight or ten shots with guns, Burgett, after having been shot five times already, was shot through the body in the region of the heart, and died afterwards. He was the fourth brother who has been killed in com bats with neighbors. His body was brought here for interment. Arkoosas.

The I'nor penning Claim. Washington, May 20. Mr. But ler, of Massachusetts, reported from the Judiciary Committee to-day bill to remit the claim of Geore Chor- penuing to the Court of CUinis. The committee in their report say that they nave had the memorial of C hor penning under considcration.and made the fullest investigation. The petitioner and his counsel were before the com mittee, and they professed entire will ingness to abandon any part of the claim which might appear to be taint ed with fraud; they asserted the per fect fidelity of the petitioner in all his service as a mail contractor ; the rea sonableness of his demand for com pensation and the honesty of his con duct in prosecuting his claim. They challenged the production of any proof of corruption or undue in fluence with the Postmaster General in any way, or corrupt motive on bis part. They gae their consent to go behind the awards back of the act of Congress and give up their rights under both if they were corruptly ob tained. They agreed that the com mittee might determine whether jus tice had been done to the petitioner by the Postmaster General, and make the award conform with the truth if any part of it was founded on the false testimony or witnesses or false facts, or by the suppression of facts. Those heretofore known to hold opin ions adverse to the petitioner were notified by the committee that they might tippcar and be heard. But no person appeared to contravene the allegations of tho memoralists. Cer tainly, however.sileuce or absence of all opposition to the claimant does not prove thccluimtobejustand honest. The claim must be made out affirma tively. Individuals having reason to believe it false may not have thought it their duty to volunteer information on the subject From the fact that nobody appeared against the petitioners, the committee were not enabled to make so thorough an examination as to the details of the claim as it would have been desirable to do. The committee say they have examined all tue evi dence within their reach, and a con sideration of it eolves the following general state of facts ; George Chorpening was a contrac tor with the Postollico Department for carrying the mails of the United States. His services began in 1851 and ceased in lSGO. lie had one contract for carrying the mails from Salt Lake to Sacramento and back for $14,000 per annum, and after wards another for the route between Salt Lake and San Pedro for $12, 000 per annum. Still later he had a third between Salt Lake and Placer ville. Wc find that his duties under the two first contracts were fulfilled in the face of great peril, hardship and difficulty with energy and fidel ity, and at a ruiuous expense to him self. Atthe.same time he performed a great amount of extra service cast upon him by reason of the impassa ble condition in the winter of the Sierra Nevada aud Hockey Moun tains, the hostility of the Indians, and the failure cf other contractors. These services, regular as well as ex tra, seem to have been well apprecia ted by the Department. They were not only very valuable, but absolute ly necessary, and so onerous that at one time when Chorpening, by reason of repeated depredations by the In dians, was supposed to be unable to go on, another person was engaged to do the same work at a compensa tion of $5,000 per anuum. Contrac tors who at the same time encounter ed Indian difficulties similar to those of Chorpening, but not so great in degree, and who were not burdened with the performance of any extra service whatever, broke down and were finally relieved by special acts of Congress granting them, on two separate occasions, largely increased compensation for their regular ser vice Your committee are fully con vftccd, upon the evidence, that upon the merits of the whole claim of Mr. Chor penning there is something due him injustice and equity from the United States, but your committee believes that the ascertainment of the details of the amount due, and its adjustment by a committee of Congress, or by Congress itself, is wholly impractica ble, not to say impossible, in order to do justice either to the claimant or to the United States. Fully convinc ed of this proposition, and believing that the citizen claiming a right or debt against the Government which can be established by competent evidence upon legal principles before a court of justice should always have recourse to the courts of his country to establish his rights, your commit tee have teported a bill to give juris diction to tho Court of Claims, sub ject to appeal to the Supreme Court by either party.
