Butler, Representative from Tenneasee, on a bench warrant, the Grand Jury having found two Indictments for torgery. Butler expressed his sur- prise that such charges should have been made, and showed the deputy a power of attorney for collect- ing certain pension moneys. He expressed his ‘Wulingness to accompany the officer, who brought him before Judge Cartter.

Secretary Boutwell has issued a ctroular to ccheciors of customs relative to certa'n fees col- lected elsewhere than on the Northern, Northeastern and Northwestern trontiers, He says many com- plaints have bees made to the department of the diversiiy of fees for the same service collected at dif- ferent ports, under section two of the General Col- Jection act of March 2, 1799, and under section thirty-our of tae Enrolment and License act of February 18, 1793, to remedy the want of unlformity how prevailing in this respect. The attention of col- Jectors 18 called to regulations accompanying the circular and the rates, which are believed to be in stric} conformity w.th the law and which are recog- nized in the practice of a large proportion of the Principal ports. These must hereafter be strictly followed. Smuggling in Texas—Attempt to Assaasinate a Revenue Officer. A special agent of the Treasury Department re- cently sent to Texas to examine the workings of the customs revenue laws, reports to the Secretary of the Treasury that there is scarcely any limit to the smuggling carried on along the Gulf coast and on the Rio Grande. In some of the principal cities it is ® notorious fact that the largest business is done by firms in league with smugglers. One of the govern- ment inspectors, who has proved a valuable and eMicient officer, has been notified to quit the Jocality of Brownsville or that he would be kilied. A short . time since an attempt was made to assassinate him. In fact, the operations of the smugglers are carried ©n so boldly that vessels frequently make a landing in sight of the revenue marine officers. The atten- tion of the Secretary is especially called in the re- Port to the existing defects in the system of pro- tecting the revenues of the government and the Necessity for checking the lawless operations of those carrying on the smuggling business on the Mexican border, Amendments to Butler’s Amnesty Bill.

An important qnestion has been presented to the ‘Treasury Department relating to the construction of that portion of the new Tarif law relating to the duties to be paid on Russian hemp. Under tho ex- Asting law the duty 1s forty doliars perton. Under ‘@ liberal construction of the clause in the new Tariff bill, which goes into effect on the 1st prox., the duty will be only twenty-five dollars perton, The attention of the chairman of the Committee on Ways ‘and Means has been called to the wording of the law, and as no reduction was contemplated on the article of Russian hemp, the changes necessary will be made promptly or a ruling given authorizing the Collection of the rate fixed under the present law. Settlement of Commissioner Rollins’ Accounts. The contusion of the stamp accounts of the Inter- nal Revenue Bureau under Commissioner Rolling has again been revived, and is the subject of com: Ment in official circles. The manner in which the government was secured for its issue of stamps dur- Ang a long period cannot be ascertained. The only Tecords are entries made of stamps issued anda ‘balance made up from the entries made to the credit of parties who sold the stamps. The only possible ray, via alleged, for Mr. Rollins to close his ac- Counts will be to apply to Congress for a relief act.

DEPARIMENT OF JUSTICE, Dec. 15, 1870. To GeoxGE 3. BovrwELL, Secretary of tho Trea- sury:— ¥ Stt—I have considered the questions presented in your letters of October 7 and November 23 last, in relation to the ¢laim of the United States on the Union Pacific Raliroad Company for reimbursement of interest paid by the United States on bonds issued as & subsidy to that company, By the act of Jaly 1, 1862 (section 2, 12 U. 8, Stat., page 492), bonds of the United States were to be issued to the company to the amount of $16,000 a mile upon the completion and equipment of each forty miles of, the road, payable in thirty years after date, bearing six per centum per annum interest, tie interest payable semt-annually; and to secure the repayment to the United states, as hereinafter provided, of the amount of said notes, together with all interest thereon, which shail have been paid by the United States, the issue of said bonds and delivery to the company ipso sacto con- stitute a first mortgage bond on the whole line of the railroad and telegraph, &c. Section siX provides that the grants aforesaid are made upon condition that said company shall pay #aid bonds at majurity, and shall keep sata ratl- road and telogravh Mme in repair and use, and shall at ail times transmit despatches over said telegraph ne, and transport mails, troops and munitions of war, supplies and public stores upon said railread for the govern- ment whenever requived.to do so by any depart ment thereof; and that the. government shall at all umes have the precedence in the use of the amo for all the purposes aferesaid at fair and rea- sonable rates of compensation, not to exceed the amounts paid by private parties for the same Kind of service; and alt compensation for services rendered for the govermment shall be applied te the Payment of sald bends and interest until the whole amount 1s tully paid, The said company may also pay the United states wholly or in part in the same or other bonds, Trea- sury notes or other evidences of debt agamst the United States to be allowed at par; and after said road is completed unt the said bonds and interest are paid at least five per centam of carnings of road shall be annually applied to the thereof, This act Was succeeded by the act of July 2, 1864 (13 U.S, Stat., page 356), the fifth section of Which provites that oniy one half of the compensa- ton for services rendered for the government. by satd companies shallbe required to be applied to the payment of the bonas w#sued by the government. ivther provides that the companies paructeai ia iviher provi ry com ey iu the constraction of the Yactiic Rattrona = Issue their first mortgaze poncs on thelr respective ra(l- road and ni be 2uut not exceeding the mouv of the bonds of the Owe Bintee na et eee ee dato, time of waturity, rate and character of interest with the bonds authorized to be issned to said railroad companies respectively ; and the lien ot the United States bonds shall be suborainate to that of the bonds of any or either of sald com- Toads, 6 prov ofthe aixth section of tho aet'to. which this is au amend ment. The act of 1862, above quoted, relates to the trans‘nission of despatches and the transportatiun of mails, troops, munittons of war, supplies and Peay stores for the government of the United tates. ‘The government has Issued its bonds to the Union Pacific Railroud Company to the amount of many muihons, and it has paid the accrued interest on these bonds. Upon an application to the company to re- tunburse (his interest the company refuses, contend- ing what the government has no valid claim upon the Core for reimbursement or the interest until the principal of the bonds shall be due, except as to one-lalf of the compensation for ger- vices rendered by the company for the government, and to tive per centum of the net earnings of the roud after its completion, If the company is right, the government must go on paying out the interest twice a year, and walt thirty years for its pay, ex- cept the probably small amount of ene-haif the com- pensation due to the company as a carrier for the government, aud five per cent of the net earnings. The amount which the company wil thus owe the eecasir te at the expiration of thirty years wiil be nearly treble the princtpal of the bonds, and more if the interest of the paid coupons is charged against the company, and while this heavy debt shali be accumulating against the company the government will all the time be paying to the com- pany one-half of the value of the services rendered to it the company. Without a won- derful crease = in §=6value there = is. probability § that the road and all the appurtenant property will be worth at the end ef thirty years the thus increased debt then due to the government atter the firat mortgage creditors shall Nave been satisfied. Meanwhile the company may be paving dividends to its stockholders out of the earnings which natural justice would apply to the rellef of that creditor through whose benefactions the road has been mainly built, A construction which leads to guch results opehe not to ve Adopted unless clearly julred the language of the law. In considering the subject I have {n- quired whether a rate of construction favorable to the company should be followed where the language of the statute leaves the mind in doubt. Between @ @ grantor for a valuable consideration and the grautee the law adopts a construction favorable to the latter; where the transaction is an act of ceuntry the construction, if doubtful language, should be in favor of the donor.

The company admits a labilty to reoay the prin- cipal and interest to the government. The contro- versy 1s as to the time when the interest is to be ré- 10 paid. In the absence ef distinct provisions upon that subject it would see fat that as soa se the gov- ernment pays money for the company the company should be botin to reimburso the government, wind principle ef justice i tng basis of the common law action for money paid. Is there anything in the aid. ing acts which makes this principle inoperative here? Those acts aid the company both by bonds and by donations of land. The lands are given absolutely, and the titles as the conditions are complied with from time to time issue tothe company. It was’ manifestly the mtention of Congress that the gov- ernment should lose, and that the company should acquire the iands, bub, in the case of the lands, the idea of relmbursement is a standing attendant upon all the provisions for this forin of aid. The secur fifth section of the act of 1862, in order ‘to the repayment to the United States, as here- er provided, of the amount of sald bonds so issued and delivered to said Suninany, together with all interest thereon which shall have been patd by the United States,” makes the issue and de- livery of the bonds to constitute a first morgage on the road and connected property, and then provides that the Secretary of the Treasury may take possession in case of default. This sec- lon does not specify the time when the interest Shall be repaid; the main stress of the argument for the company depends on the first clause ef the next section, The grants aforesaid are made upon con- dition that the satd company shail pay the said bonds at maturity, As construed by the company, this clause snould be read:— ~ ‘The said company shall pay said bonds and interest at tho maturity of the principal of the bonds. But it 1s observable that at the first mention of reimbursement in the flith secilon the bonds and interest are severaliy named. In the language quoted from the beginning of the sixth section no separafe mention is made of interest, If the omis- sion of the mention of interest were designed, the ume of paying Interest 13 not affected by this clause and 13 determinable; by the other considera- tions in the case, If the omission was casual and the word “bonds” a8 used in the sixth section embraces interest as well as principal it 1s an extravagant stretch of the meaning of the word “maturing’’ to hold that, as to the principal, it signifies the time when the principal falls due; and, as to the interest, Ab siguifies the time When the interest fallsdue. Con- ceding that Unis is not the more common meaning of the word ro as applied to such bond think there 1 enoush in the whole character of interpretation o: it ax used here, If the clause re- fers to interest at all the interest falls due semi- annually, and in tact a separate instrument (a coupon) 18 issued for each instalment oF interest, Suppose the not very unuswal case of a written ob- Iiation to pay money by instalments, Speaking of the maturity of that paper, we should mean the several limes when the successive instalments be- come duc. Each coupon ts a separate engagement, and may. Bucsl upon without even producing the bond to which it was originally attached, (Qommis- sioners of Knox county, Ind., vs. Aspinwall et al., 21 How., p. 639). The nith section provides that upon the failure of the company te redeem said ponds or any part of them, when required todo so by the Secretary of the Treasury, in accordance with the provisions of this act, the said road, with all the rights, franchises, iinmunities and appurtenances thereunto belonging, and also ail the lands grauted to said company by the United States which, at the time of said default, shalt remain in the ownership of the company, may be taken pomesaion of by the Secretary of the ‘Treasury for the use and benefit of the United States. It is not likely that Congress intended to encumber this important provision with anything unimportant or useless. Ve must suppose that m authorising the Secretary of the Treasury, on the fallure to redeem the bonds, or any part of them, to take possession of all lands grant to said company by the United States Which at the time ef said defaults should remain in the ownership of id company, Cougress intended to obtain substantive and valuable security. The third section, which gives to the company five alternate sections of land a mniie on each side of the road, provides that ull such lands which shali not be sold or disposed of by said company within three years after the entire road shall have been completed shall be subject te settlement and pre-emption like other lands at a — not exceeding one dollar and twenty- ve cents per acre, to said company. The object and the certain effect of this provision was to compel the company to sell the granted lands by the end of three years trom the completion of the road, The seventeenth section forfelts the whole road to the United states if not completed by the Ist of July, 1876, Then It appears that Congress expected that granted lands of sutiicient value to be an Important security for (he company’s debt would be in the possession of tie company When a default tho | statutes now under examination to authorize this | | Company, which was finally taken out of Mr, Bout. | Well’s hands and decited by the A torney Genera). ‘The third {8 the question of the Paciie Ratiroad contract, whieh 18 LOW pending decision by the Attorney General, and which Mr, Boutwell sought to settie tinally himself, In brief, these are the only grounds of complaint that Mr. Boutwell can pos sibly conjure up.

Not one of the might occur, No such lands could be expected to remain in’ the Rosucesion of the com after the Ist of July, 1579 This date Jeast thirteen years eariter than the time when the principal of the bonds will fall due, that date, then, it 1s possible that there should be a default. As to the principal of the bonds the only defaulc which can happen by that time is a defauit in the payment of interest. Congress, in thus providing for Qn entry 4 the granted lands, providea, in fy, for an entry for a default, which night happen before the 1st of July, 1879, and such default can be in the matter of imterest’ alone. Counsel for the company derive One argument in support of their views irom the language of tue flith section ef the act of ist July, 1862, that only one-half of the com- pensation for the services rendered for this govern- Ment (as said company shall be required) shall be applied to the paymeut of the bonds issued by the government in aid of the construction of said road.

If the omission was accidental, and the word “bonds,” in the fifth section of the act of 1864, means the same as the words “bonds and interest,” in the sixth section of the act of 1862, then Congress Intended to reduce the specitic appro- riation of the compensation for service rendered lor the government from all to half, An argument is made for the company that this specific appro- priation indicates that Congress expected ne reim- bursement from the general resources ef the come, before the maturity of the principal of the bonds, except the five per cent of the het earnings after the completion of the road, wnich isto be annually ay to the payment of the bonds and interest, is argument would reach too far.

Af these are the only resources trom which the gov- ernment can Claim payment of principal and inte- rest before the expiration of the thirty yeara they are the resources from which payment can be obtained after the expiration of the thirty years, It is meredible that Congress intended to assume 60 large @ lability with so small a provision for reimbursement. The question may be asked why the reservation of one-half of the compensation for carrying for the government and the five per cent upon the net earn- ngs should be made at all. If Congress intended that the government should be reimbursed by the company from its general resources, either before or alter the expiration of the thirty years, various answers Might be suggested. The act of 1864 was passed in the midst of a formidable war. The in- tervention of foreign Powers was within the range of possibility. An occasion magne possibly arise for the transportation of troops and munitions of war across the Continent to such an extent that the government would for the time absorb the whole service of the road. In such a case it would be ex- ceedingly harsh for the government to reserve for its own debt the whole compensation for that ser- vice, and thus have the company without current resources for carrying on the road. An argument against this construction, to which my mind has come, hag been founded on the language of a member of the House of Representatives, when the act of 1862 was under consideration. In expound- ing an act of Congress the construction placed upon it by individuai members in the debate which took piace on its passage cannot be considered. (Eldridge vs. Williaais, 0 Howard, 1-6, opinion, p. 464; 9 opin- fon, p. 57.) m more impressea by the rejection of an offered amendment te require the pay- ment of current interest. (Congressional Globe, part 1861-2, p. 1011.) But this was ooly, in one House of Congress. It was in Committee of the Whole, and after a very brief debate and the weight which fairly belongs to such @ circumstance is insufMicient to revise the couclu- sion to which 1am brought by the other considera- 2 tions in the case. it has been agreed on the part of the company that an {ntention to require the immediate repayment of interest would have been distinctly expressed. argument equal force. This be turned the other way witn it may be said that an intention to ostpone the repayment of interest would ave been. istipouy ex , The addition of a few plain words ‘would have settled the meaning one Ww or the other yond controversy and strictly constrning, the acts when- ever obscure ainst the party most.

Se ORE ert le [Ff the Washington Republican—ndministration.] On Weanesday a telegram sent to a New Yor! broker, stating that Secretary Boutweil was abou to resign, was re-telegraphed here for confirmation. ‘The statement had its origin in the mythical sources of similar rumors which agitate political circies every «lay, and dte away in less than an hour after thelr birth. As soon as inquiry was made regarding its authenticity, the rumor Was redoubled in its force and a hundred stories forthwith found circula- tion confirming it, and giving reasons why Mr. Boutwell desired to leave the Cabinet.
