[645] La Abra Silver Mining Co. _v._ United States, 175 U.S. 423 (1899).
Here the Court sustained an act of Congress which directed the Attorney
General to bring a suit on behalf of the United States against the
appellants to determine whether an award made by an international claims
commission was obtained by fraud. The Court of Claims was vested with
full jurisdiction with appeal to the Supreme Court to hear the case,
decide it, to issue all proper decrees therein, and to enforce them by
injunction. The Court regarded the money received by the United States
from Mexico as property of the United States. This together with the
interest of Congress in national honor in dealing with Mexico was
sufficient to enable it to authorize a suit for the decision of a
question "peculiarly judicial in nature." pp. 458-459.
