The “Variationa’' by Ritter, | composed for Pattl, wore gay and grave by turns, | The fe a of one brief piece, containing some | slight flavor of Offenbach's archness, waa highly appreciated, being tossed off with an airiness of style rare in Concert singing.

The character of tho note, as (hus Pepresented, was most extraordinary a8 diplomatio document. It represented Sickles as accusing the Spanish government of countenanc- ing “horrible atrocities,” “cold-blooded murders and assassinations” and other enormities that modern civilization could not tolerate. It made Sickles call Spatn a poverty-stricken country and at the same time delivered @ sort of Fourthot JSuiy oration to the venerable Serrano. The document altogether was remarkable for “nifalutin"'—very unlike Sickies’ style and certainly highly inappro- priate In a diplomatic paper. With a view to ascertaining the genuineness of this alleged note, your correspondent to-day catled at the White Hoase and laid the document as puptiahed before Frestdent Grant, who, after running through it in his avarp, quick manner, remarked that tt waa evidently bogus; that ailhough all the oMfctal information on the subject had not yet been received, still there waa no doubs that Minister Sickles bad not omployea such extraordinary language in his negotiations with the Spanish government. The President far- ther stated that all the information on this tmpor- tant subject would be given to the public on the meeting of Congress and then the country would have an opportunity to judge fairly, Thls means, of course, that, accompanying his message, he wili transmit to Congress copes of all the correspond. ence that has taken place during tne Cuban-Stokles negotiations.

J. Dodge, June 12, 1869, wherein the parties named in the oficial order are ¢ ed with practising fraud upon the United States and Individuals, and win violating the rules of common honesty in the prosepution of bounty and pension claims of colored soldiers or their legal representatives. ‘The Attorney General understands the subject sub- mitted oy the Secretary of War for his consideration to be whether tbe information contained in Colonel Doage’s report warrants him in denying the parties access to the department as agents for the proseca- tion of claims, In connection with Which the Secre- tary of War observes: — not right, id the priv: than would be expected iu prosecuted criminally. wes that doubts having arisen tn the parties concerned, a# to tue existence of the authority thus asserted, it is deemed proper to take that subject under consideration aiso, as naturally involved im the other, Ho then refare to the opinion of Attorney General Btanbery of October 8, 1866, Wherein the conclusion arrived at Was that the Secretary had no legal authority to exclude authorized attorneys and agents from coliecting bounties, and that in the presen. tation and payment of claims the claimant may act attorney. That opinion, the Attorney General ays, goes to nirm the general right of claimants to transact their business with tho department through the medium of claim agents, when nog rostrained by statute, together with the correspond. ing general right of their agents to prosecute before | the departivent the business entrusted to them by their principals. there can be 00 doudt, and, 48 & genoral rule, ihe Secretary of War cannot preciude ti%y posses aors of ‘these rights from the @nyyyment of them.

Under seh cireumatmgces the Attorney General thinks the Seeretary may’ very properly decline to expose the tnieresta of tie government, as also of claimants, to the danger of becoming @ prey to dishonest schemes And devices, The Attorney General continues: — Secretary of War is not invested with any authority over the professional conduct of claim agents for the correction of mere private grievances corra- sponding WHb thal possessed by courts of law over attorneys practistug therein, 2 relation between (he latter is an official one. Prom this ia derived tha summary jurisdiction which courts exerciao over thair attorneys. But, as between the depart- ments and agents presenting claims before them, no oMtciai relation exists, aud accordingly ‘the Seeretary can derive no such authority from tha’ source and none 18 conterred upon him by y statute that has come under my notice, Touching the allegations contained in Colonet Dodge's report agalust the parties named tn the before mentioned order, coming aa they do through the medum of an oilicial report nade by an officer spectaily @esigned to the auty of investirating the sudject matter to which they relate, the Attorney Generai cannot but regard them a3 suMcient to warrant the course pursued by the Secretary for the protection of the tnterests or the government, Bue there ia an obvious propriety In furnisning we parties concerned with the charges Frosting azainss and allowing them an early opportunity to be beard in their own defence, uniess perhaps, it ts contemplated to make themy the subject of judictat injury, While upon this subject ho adda that when fraud 6 heve been or at temptea to be conmmmitted upom the governmen® by agents, by means ef fictitious claims and other devices, the statutes enacted for thoir punishment should be enforced against them. So also when the provision contained in the Penston and Bounty act, designed for the protection of claimants agatuat the cupidity and foppression of thew agents, have been violated, the guiity parties ought to be brought to justice.
