IMPORTANT FROM OREGON. A correspondent,
OF the NewYotk Tribune writes from Portland
Oregon, under date Of March 18th, and says:

INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT DEBTs.-The dis.
cussions in regard TO the Galphin claim, we think
will effect one good end = that hereafter interest
will as much form part Of the debt due by the
Government to the citizen, as it now does OF the
debt due by the citizen to the Government A
writer in the Baltimore Commercial cites an i'm
posing array Of authorities, in favor of this honest
proposition Not only have the Federal Courts
recognized the principle, but in negotiations with
foreign powers, for injuries inflicted on our citizens
the American Secretaries and Ministers have
claimed interest and received it.
When public opinion settles down in favor of the
payment, by the Government, on the same rules
which regulate the ordinary transactions of men,
Congress will have an inducement to examine
claims promptly. Doubtless they will create
boards of commissioners to adjudcate on claims,
instead Of as now, procraqtinating for years their
adjustment. While many just demands have been
deferred, others without any merit have been SNUG
gled through by favoritism. Committees of Con
gress can hardly be expected to examine, with
mnch care, individual claims. The establishment
of some sort of tribunal will doubtless promote sub.
stantial justice, as well rs speedy dec sion. The
payment of this enormous sum for interest, will,
therefore, prove gain to the country.

The DELTA AND Mr.. PETERs.-We deem it
but an act Of public justice to notice some errors
which the Della has committed in its comments
| yesterday, on the resignation of Mr.. Peters.
Il states that Mr. Peters had left the Council at
moment when its liabilities are greatest, and
It's credit lowest; )" and that the liabilities Of the
Municipality, from this time to the LIST December,
are not less than FIVE hundred thousand dollars 1t
deduces from these assumed premises, that MIR.
Peters has quit the Council, as captain of ship
wrecked vessel would abandon his ship in distress !;
a comparison we conceive, exceedingly unjust, as
| we shall endeavor to show.
The iiabIities of he Municipality, instead of be-
| ine greater than they ever have been, are some
three hundred thousand dollars less than thew were
three years ago-namely, in March, 1s47, as shown
| by the report Of M. M Reynolds, Esq then chair
man Of the Finance Committee
Instead Of having five hundred thousand dollars
of obligations to pay, from this time to the LIST De-
cembeF next, il 30 happens, that the Second Mu.
nicpality has not cent TO ray during that time
except its current expsnses-ihe interest on its debt
and its proportion of the interest on the old CITY
debt; and that its income during this period will
exceed by fully one hundred thousand dollars all
these sums.
In fact, Mr.. Peters has left the Council at a time
when no financial skill or responsibility is needed,
in consequence of the law which he condemns as
derogatoIy to the character of the Municipality for
the very that it prohibits the Council from
paying its debts.
II is very singular fact, end shows how indie
ierent our citizens have been of what their public
servants at Baton Rouge were doing two months
ago in relation to their most vital interests that we
have met hundreds of raople, since Mr.. Peters adj
