NOWAHmW. “Truth above all things. " FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1892. [Entered at the. Post Office as a Newspaperi “8in” M’ Garrahan’ 51 Triumph. The Washington Post with commend- ' able exultation thus refers to the final success of one of the most interesting and notable claims e'ver pressed upon . the attention of Congress. The Post says. “ after litigation in the courts and consideration before Congress covering a pe1iod of thirty -five years, the famous McGa1rahan case has been favorably passed upon by both houses of Con. gress, and now goes to the court of pri- vate land claims for final adjudication. “It Is one of the most remarkable cases on record, and especially remark- able from the fact that throughout this protracted contention Mr. McGarrahan has time and again been upon the very ‘ verge of a confirmation of his rights to the property in question. Decisions and decrees have been repeatedlyren- dered in his favor only to be overturn- ed by some legal hocus pocus ; orders for the issue of a patent in his name have been more than once issued only to be evaded, and committee after com- ” mittee in each branch of Congress has made reports sustaining the validity of his claim, yet now for the first time has been taken that joint action for which the contestant has patiently waited for so many years and by which he feels assured of vindication and triumph. “ The case is now in such shape that his interests-have become negotiable if he chooses to dispose of them, and, a1- thOugh his victory comes late in life, it is not too late to be substantially en- joyed. For William McGarrahan has taken good care of himself during all these years, and has never fallen into the sere and yellow leaf of the typical claimant. Genial, gentlemanly, and universally respected, he has borne the frowns of fortune like a philosopher and will now accept her smlles like a good citizen, conscious from first to last of the justice of his cause.” When Orris S. Ferry was in the Sen- ate, the voluminous papers in this case (which was for the possession of enor- mousl y valuable quicksilver mines in California) amounting almost to a wheel- barrow load, were referred to him. . During one of those periods when his illneSs, - which finally terminated his brilliant and illustrious career, had kept him confined to his "muse for some six weeks, he' took McGarrahan’s ease up, and patiently and exhaustively went through every paper in. the case. He he- came too ill to make a written report, but he Said to the writer, as he did to others and as he verbally reported to the Claims Committee, that the careful examination he'had given the case, left no doubt in his mind, that 'McGarra- han’s claim was sound and perfectly valid ; that if there was any possibility of McGarrahan’s title being in any de- gree defective, the ownership should then revert to the United States, and that the parties in possession had in his opinion no more legal right to it than to the National Capitol. He further stated that he had never read any novel in his life more interesting or more ex- traordinary than the detailed history of this case; that there was nothing in George Sands’ “ Consuelo ” more fasci- nating or more ingeniously construct- ed than many of thefevident perjuries, forgeries and general rascalities resort- ed to, to keep the rightful owner from the possession of his property. We rejoice with the Post that the hon- est Celtic faith and fortitude of patient, indomitable “ Billy ” McGarrahan has finally triumphed to this extent. WHITE AND SNOWDEN NAMED.
