[twas adopted asa rule that claims pending and unsettled at the passage of the act of June 20, 1874, should be deemed and held to be peud- ing beiore the board of audit, the same as if the form of newly presenting what was | already among the flies and records which hac come to the custody of the board of audit Were insisted upon aud complied with. The rules alsoembraced claims in favor of tue District, as well as against tt, and seemed to the board clearly within the discretion con- ferred upon them as ty the form and maaner Of giving notice and of presenting claims. [t Wa= manifestly just, and could work no wrong. The boar: was not aware that “any claims of the first and second classes, or claims for refunding sewer taxes that were not presented until since July 1, 1875,” have | been allowed. Ail claims of these classes | wb nh were 80 presesied were declined, if | oventily presented, as the board be leved, und their instractions were that they | should be. The beard say that soon after their organi- vation they were invited to hold a CUNFERENCE WITH THE DISTRICT COMMIS- SiONERS as to their powers, &L the Arlington. Sena- tor Thurman was present, and the main question discussed Was as to the extent of the Cuties of the board of audit in relation to the claims against the District which might be “tbereafter created” by the farther per- formance, under the administration of the Commissioners, of contracts of the board of works bot completed when the act passed. And in this connection it was rut mely, “ninety days after the ublica! u of such police” seribea by that section. Thurman exprested the opinion thal the committee Which bad examiued into the affairs of the District, and had prepared and reported the uct of Jane 20 id pot intend that the uneomp'eted contracts of the board of publ Works should be abrogated, but did intead to provide means for completing te same in order that the unfinished work on the streets and sewers might be completed. He farther expressed tbe opinion, in whieh Mr. Siantoa covcurred, that the limitation of ninety days for presentation of claims had reference ouly | to those « hich existed at the passage of the ac!, and did not relate to those to be there- after created, of which Congress had author. ized sett'ement and payment. These co: clur tons the board be'leved correct, aud con- sequently acted upon them. THROWING THE RESPONSIBILITY ON THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. In the execution of the powers of the Com- Missioners they, and not the board of audit, Were vested With authority to decide what were “existing legal obligations and con- tracts,” what ‘contracts and obligatioas” were “necessary” to thelr “execution,” “and to the protection or preservation of improve- ments existing or commenced and not com- pleted,” and their decision concluded the board of audit. The board refer to the case of the United States vs. Jones, (13th Howard Rep.,)in which the SupremeCourt maintains {hat an accounting officer cannot disallow acts done by executive authority, or inquire into their legality. in August, 1574, a committee of the S was pre- | Earl | “Tax-Payers’ association” of the District | called upoa the Commissioners, and present- | cd to that body “their earnest protest | egainst the continuance of any of tne con- | tracts made for improvements made with | the board of public Works,” and with it sub- | stantially the same arguments which are | bow made on that side. The Commissioners answered the Committee, and the substance of what was said was published in THe Eve. NISG STAR, Of August 19, 1874. Tue Com- missioners also finally address the commit: tee August, L3 1871, holding that the prose- cut‘on of any or all the contracts ol the board | of public works to completion was for them alone to decide. Under their authority they suspended ail the contracts, amounting, as rey resented by the engineer, to 117, and upon | investigation, revoked the suspension of «7 of them, leaving the legal status of each and | ail the contracts the same as When made. In reportof the Commissioners, December 74, they state the amount of work done the cost to complete contracts resumed, &c. In the engineer’s report, constituting a part of the repert of the Commissioners, the following ts stated: “Whenever it bas ‘been to authorize necessary extra work under & contract, in order to properly complete the work required wnder if, the expresa stipu lion bas been made that payment shall be re ceived in 3.05 bonds, upon the certificate of the board of audit.” In the report of the board of audit Decem- ber7, Is74, itis stated that ‘under many of | the contracts work has been continued by @ireetion of the Cominissioners, and claims | thence arising have been audited by the board.” 1T WAS NOT THE INTENTION oF THE JOARD B | at any time to allow or certify claims cre. | ated after June 20, 1874, unless they arose out | of contracts made by the board of pablic | works. They did not intend to allow claims } ington | ored — Washington, for current repairs, nor for new work dis- connected from the obligations of contracts made by the board public works, and they bave no knowledge that other claims were allowed. The board close their reply by submitting @ copy of a statement of the accounts of the ue by C. E. Behle, referred to by Mr. Varren, the accountant, in his report to the & | board of audit, pripted as part of the report | of the board fasted December o 1815. 2 | feces, H AMUSEMENT!

The metropolitan police made tue | arrest, and they and their friends claim that | | they should nave had the management of the case, and that before this action was taken they should at least have been con- sulted. The question as to how the warrant was procured and how Hall was committed has also been discussed, and it has been ascertained that on thetth of January last Colonel Benson, assistant chief of the Treasury secret service, appeared at the office of the clerk of the court | and called attention to indictment No. 7,663, found December 7, 18:9, charging James Fletcher with having, while eroployed as a clerk by one Silas Boyce, on the 30th day of October, 1869,embezzied trom said Boyce certain sums of money. Colonel B. asked for a beneb warrant for the party (Fietehcr), which was issued by the assistant clerk,and it was placed in the hands of Colonel B. by the marshal endorsed “I hereby authorize and deputize J.D.

The former testified that he had not paid anything, either directly or indirectly, lo any state or county official, but that he bad paid commissions to obtain tne money. He declined to give the committee either the baimes Of the parties to whom he paid the commissions or the amounts paid.
