A Bold Attempt to Drain the State Treasury
The article argues against paying war damages claimed by citizens of several counties for actions by federal troops and rebels. It recaps a 1858 appropriation, a 1564 debate over commissioners, and a current bill to authorize claims totaling about 2.8 million dollars, with fees to agents reportedly 29 percent. It condemns the measure as unjust to taxpayers and urges opposition in Harrisburg.
