R. Woodward, Clerk to the Commissioners, and Mr. L. E. Middleton, Cashivr of the Sub-Treasury, were seated. The routine is this: As the claimanis come in and give tneir names, Mr. Woodward jooke up the number of the claim, and Mr. Middleton gives out a check which bears the same number, the elaimant signing a receipt en the list of claims at the same time, and indorsing the check, and Mr. Woodward coun- tersigning it with his initials. The check is then taken to Gen. Spinner, U. S. Treasurer, where the claimant signs another receipt aad the check is stgned by that officer. The claimant then can receive his money at the Sub-Treasury. All persons having powers of atterney are required to first get the approval of the First Comptroller; the power of course bearing a revenue stamp before it will be received by Mr. Woodward. At noon to-day there were at least three hundred persons present awaiting their turn, and it will probably be several days before ail can be paid. nom to be Nzw Booxs.—We have received the follow- ing. «« Miscellaneous,” by Jas.

Boyer, a Democratic member of the | Pennsylvania Legislature, publishes a long letter im the Harrisburg Pa‘riot, wherein hie da- | taile certain interviews between himself and Hon. Simon Cameron in relation to the Sen- torial question. Boyer asserts that he was Offered $20,000 to vote for Cameron, and that he { promised to accept the Lribe, in order to induce @ belief among the Republicans that Cameron | would be elected. Had this uot been done, he | asserts, the Republican Senate would not have gone into an election, and thy seat would thers- fore have been vacant for a year. Boyer's Story sounds fishy. eS ee &# Pobdlic censure falls heavily upon Lient. ‘Van Dorn, the commander of the gunboat Si- dell, which surrendered fo the Rebels at Har- peth Shoals, withontso much as firing a gun) It is believed by many who are well informed that the wholo affair was well understcod be- tween bim and the Rebels. He had a sufficient mumber of guns, with a plentiful furce to man them, to have driven the Rebels back and com- pletely routed them. But the eurrender was made without the firing of a single gan on his part, and on his arrival om shore he is saiu to hare been warmly greeted by the Rebel officers. Lieut. Van Dorn is said to be nearly related to the Rebel General of that name. 7 The Democratic majority in the Lilinois Legislature have proposed a bill to take all the military power of the State trom the hands of the Governor, even to the appointment of the officers of the army, and vest it in three com. missioners—a majority Democratic, of course. The Governor is Commander-in-Chief ef the army of tho State, but this bill virtually pla- oes him one side and installs in his place a tri- Um virate, in whose hands he isa mere puppet —& prisoner in his own house. The Democrats have spparently adopted the tactics of the Maryland Secession Legislature of '61. Tus Avxission ov UTAn.—It is stated that the House Committees on Territories have in- structed their chairman to report a bill fer the admission of Utah Territory into tne Union as & State, with s probibition of polygamy as one ef the conditions upon which the Territory shall be admitted.
