We alluded, oa several occasion a, to Helot ick's Plunder B.1L We now law before the peepl the official documents. READ! READ!! REAP) ! ! ZleMae of tha President of the United states, returning, with hit objections, the Bill for the relief of Arthur Ed wards and nis Associates, To&e Senate of Out United Staler. I return, with my objection 1. to the Senate. for their reconsideration the bill entitled "An act;-for. the relief of Arthur El wards and his aa-sociatea," presetad to me oa the 10th inst. 1 This bill direct a the Postmaster General "to audit and seule the accounts of Arthur Ed warda and his associate for tranaporting the United States through mail on their jteamera daring the yeera 1849 and 1 853. and intervening years," be tween Cleveland and Detroit, bet wee a Sandusky and Detroit, and between Tuledo and Detroit, and -to allow and pay them atot Ivss than f28 SO for each and every passage of said steamers between said places, daring the aforementioned time, when the mails were on board." I have caused a statement to be made at the Poet Office Department of the least sum which caa be paid to Mr. Ed warda and hia associate, nuder ilia bitl, abould U become a Uv; and from thia it appears the amount will be $0,405 23. Mr. El warda and his associates, in 1854, a abort time after tbe alleged services had been rendered, presented a claim to the Postmaster General for $25,180 as compeoaation for theae aervicea. Thia claim couaialed of nine ileroa, setting forth, specifically, all the services embraced by the praaeat bilL It ia fair to preaume that the partiea beat knew the value of their own aervicer, and that they would oot, by an under, estimate, do themselves injasrice The whole claim of $25,180 was rejected by toe Puatmaatrr General fur reasona which it ia no part of my preaent purpose to discaaa. The claimants next presented a petition to the Court of Claims, ia Jane, 1835, Mfor a reasona. bis oompeusstioo" for those aervicea, and "pray tbe judgment of your honorable Court for the actual valae of the service rendered by them, and received by the United States, which amounts to the sum of $50,000." Thus the estimate which they placed upon the. r aervicea had nearly doubled between 1854 and ltt55--had risen from $25,180 to $50,000, On tha 25th February, 1858, after a fall he aneg, the Court decided a- gaiaat tbe claim, and de&vered aa opinion in, support of this declaioe which eaaaot, 1 think. be contested oa legal priaeiplee. Bat they state, n the conclosioo of the optntoo, that "for any compeoaation for their eervioes beyond what they have received, they mast depend unoa the die cretioa of Congress. This deciaios of the Coert of Claims was re ported to Congress on the 1st of April, 1858, and from it the present bill originated. Tbe amount granted by it is more, by apwards of $35,000, thaa the parties themselves .demanded from tbe Postmaster General in 1854, and is more by ap wards of $30,000 than they demanded when be fore the Court of Claims. The enormous differ ence ia their favor between their own original demand and the amount granted by the present bill constitutes my chief objection to it. la pre seating this objection, I do not propose to enter into the question whether tbe claimants are en titled, in -equity, to any compeneatioa for their services beyond that which it is alleged they have already received, or if eo, what weald be a rea so cable and fair compensation.' ; My sole par pose is to afford Coagress aa oportaaity of ra considering this ease, on account of its peculiar ctrcomatancea. I transmit to the Senate the reports of Hora tio King. Acting Postmaster General, and of A.

It is ttated on page 11 of that report, that ''the claimanu applied ia 1854 to the Post Office De partment for aa additional compensation of $25,- 180, bat the application was refused." I regret being enable to find this application upon the files of the Department, although search has been made for it. Fortunately, however, I am ena bled to farniah yon with a. copy of the brief of the whole case, which was prepared with great ears, for the information of the Postmaster Gen eral, at the time that claim was made, and in hicb joa will fiad syaopeis ef the application ia question. : Tats brief was peepared. br r. Zevely, now Third Assistant Post master General, whose certificate to that effect, and also to the fact that the' Postmaster General's decision npon the application, deolioiag any additioaal coea. pensatioa, was only verbal, is attached. It appears that the claimants received from the department, for carrying mails oa Lake Erie betweea the yeerr 1849 and 1853, the sua of $10444 95, aa amount regarded by the depatt ment as tha regular and full com pensatioa for the service rendered thai in 1854 they demand- ed, ia full settlement, the additional sum of $25, 180. which was refused ; that the v afterwai da went to the Court of Claims, demanding $50,000; and that the act above referred to would require the payment of $80,405 23. I have the honor to be, very respeetfally, yoor obedient servant. HORATIO KING, Acting Postmaster General. His Excellency James Bocxuvav, President of the United States.

The only point clearly made out is, that both local and through mails wereconveyed It is not shown what namhr of letters or papers, or packages; nor even whsi number of bags oonati-tsted the through mail, r hick shonld be paid for. Not even the aggregate weight of the mafls is given as aTbasis of setdemenU '. But were the case otherwise, and it appeared what was the troe proportioa of through maila and local mails relatively, it would be proper to inquire whether any similar cases have been "de cided, and, if so, apoa 'what principles, end an-def wbat circa mataacesl ; The records of the departments show that, on 21st March, 1849, the postmasters at Cleveland. Saadasky, Detroit aad Toledo, were instructed "to make up and forward maila betweea their respective oCcee 1 boavts, making the greatest expedition, a wee eeat. per tetter, and half cent per ewspaper. to be f aid at the office to which he letters and papers were delivered.1 Oa -tb tlay, 1551, tbe postmasters at Cevelaad, Toledo aad Saodaaky ware required to report whether thejt were.; making, or have made payments for letters,' packages or aewepa- pers made ep as throagh mails, as well as for such letters, packages ane newspapers for deliv ery or distrihetion at their offices only." : Ia aaawer, the postmaster at Sanduaky report ed that he had paid for throagh mails ia 1849 aad 1850. ' . The postmasters at Toledo aad Clevelaad re ported paymeats only oa local atail. - Oa the 7lh June, 131, tbe postmaster at San- duskyaad Toledo were iastrscted that "nnder the order of 21st March, 1849, they will pay the one cent on letters, aad half cent on papers, for sech letters aad papers as are for delivery at their offices only, and one cent far each package of letters f r other offi.es i a respect to which their offices are the proper separating offices." At the same time the postmaster at Cleveland was inatrocted ihat aa a contract for canyiog tbe mail betweea bis office aad Buffalo had been made, the order of 21st March, 1849, ia rescind- ee, except in eases of boats delivering mails from Detroit and Toledo; the boats so delivering to be pain for on throagh matter. j These proceedings show what the department regarded as compensation for mail service ia 1851, on the routes ia question. From the inquiries addressed to the postmas ters oa the Sin May, 18SL it iV evident that it was apprehended that they had misconstrued the instruct! one of 2ltt March, 1849; and the order of June T, 185lwas clearly designed to settle the question of pay for steamboat mails for tran sient boats, aot aoder regular contract with the department ; At Toledo and Sand uskj one cent a letter, and half a cent a newspaper was to be allowed on letters and papers for delirery at those offices, in reaped to which Toledo and Sandusky Were the proper separating offices. This was evidently designed to cover tbe whole expense, both for local .and throagh mails.- At Cleveland the postmaster was to pay, uader the ioatrnctioos of 2 1st March, 1849, except between Buffalo aad Cleveland, and he was epeo'elly in-atracted not to pay for through maila. That the pay of one cent-a letter, aad half a eeat a newspaper, estimated as above stated, was designed by the department to be in full com pensaliod for the wbota .mail, further appears from a decision f2Sih August, 1850, in the case of E. B. Ward, who claimed an allowance on through mails betweea Detroit and BaSslo in 1849, at the same rate as oa local mails. . It. then held that the compensation of one rest a Uuer, and half accent a newapaper conU only ap ply to letters and papers for delirery nod tribdUoa at Detroit and CqrJo,tt being, la ire 2, im'porsibls to arrive at tV Jost compnUtioVu 3 throegb mails.

The Major, aot yet demented, for there was a few left yet, eqaared himself with all the courtly airs of a Pitt or Lord John Rueeell, and said: Gentlemen Wide-Awakes, I am truly gratified to see such a gocdly number av ye here to-night. Gentlemen Wide-A wakes, (a voice, open' both yoor own eyes, then, there are four parties ia the field this campaign; there is the Bell party, (by a Bel! maa, hurrah for Bell, and there is the Breckinridge party, by, 3 or 4, hurrah for Brack. ) aad there ic the Douglas party, hmrah for Doagias. Gentlemen Wide-A wakes, wide awakes talking and inattentive. I say, gentlemen wide-awakes, all these parties have plat-forms, aad I am going to tell ye what these plat forms is. First, there is the Bell platform it ia a anion p'atform; old Mr. Bell is a very good man. f A voice, he's for Bell.1 -Gentlemen Wide Awakes, the Brekiaridge platform protects slavery i a the Territories and has a, slave code. Tbe Doaglaa platform has no law pan this subject, or they pretend tb-y have not. But, gentle mea wide-awakes, they Are slave coders, too; Stephea A. Douglas are the very maa that re- pealed taa Missouri eomromiaa, aad established slavery ia all oar Territories on every foot, on every inch ef all our tree Territories. A voice, what about Dean's bill. Yes, what about Data's bill this bill were to restore the Missouri com promise. Gentlemen Wide-A wakes, the Lincola parry have a platform, too a free platform. Harrah for John Brown, by a by stander.l Gertlemea Wide-A wakes, there is a few Douglas men ia this town. If they'd read a little more they'd know better how to ta'k. A voice, yes, read the peecb yon didn't make ia Coagress. Gentlemen Wide-Awakes, if ye love freedom, if ye love Ter country vote oar ticket. A voice, hurrah for Harper's Ferry. Gentlemen Wide-A wakes, (here the Major spent some time on an anecdote about a maa who skinaed his dead oxen to make money, aad jest so. he allowed, they would skin old Back this fall. Here a voice interposed to inform him that old Buck was not running this time. Gen tie mea Wide-A wake, I know that ye are not ia a aitustioa to bear a long speech. Afar thank. ing them for their close attention the Major's voice ceased to be beard. . A M'. Greer was called on, who made a few . remarks, and I judged from the trembling manner of his voice that his conscience goaded him for the company be kept. Ia aa honest cause I think Mr. Greer would make a pleasant speaker. Yours, trulj, PAN CAKE. Co-rode Ueport 7illxxia He'.mich We are aoder obligations to Mt.
