Booth, Chief Justice,

delivered the opinion:

The Congress enacted the special jurisdictional act set forth in full in Finding I. The obvious purpose of the act is the adjudication of plaintiffs’ rights accruing legally or equitably in virtue of any treaties, agreements, laws of Congress, or misappropriation of funds.
