There are about the Treasury legion of claim

terests, vast as its resources are the Government
would soon be left with a beggared Treasury.
There is great fault in Congress in acting upon
claims, particularly those connected with the In
dian Bureaus, The last Congress ordered an old
claim TO be paid to the Chickasaw Indians, which
amounted TO more than half million of dollars.

of five per cent. per annum. The interest on this
payment exceeded $500,0OO, and principal and in.

way the public money goes.
"Then, again, the Supreme Court lately decided
affirming decision of Chief Justice fancy in the
Maryland Circuip that certain duties should be re-
funded on sugar and molasses imported into the
United States This decision grew out of a differ
ence OF tare at the places of export and import, be-
ing 10 per cent, for example, in Cuba, and Is per
| cent in the United States. The decision of the
| court requires that this five per cent difference
shall be paid back TO the importer, and the amount
to be refunded, under the decision, will exceed
| half million Of dollars, and may go largely be-
yond this sum. Not less than $3.50, 900 have been
paid already, and great many new demands from
the city of New York were presented yesterday
for adjustment. Nevertheless, the Treasury is
plethorc beyond all precedent, as shall have &C.

A New Instrument Of Destructon.-A rife, ca
pable of firing twenty five balls every minute, in
Guiding the time of loading, was recently exhibited
in Newark, N. j., and is supposed to be an impor.
tant improvement in firearms. Under the barrel,
in the place of the ordinary ramrod, is an iron
tube containing the twenty five balls, and by
cooking the gun ball is brought up in the barrel,
and the same operation also brings up from the
breech "pl of printing. The charge of pow.
der is contained in the ball, which is not round
but oblong, and having an opening which is corked
shut after the powder has been introduced. The
quantity of powder is only twenty eight grains. and
drives the bail with greater force than the large
charge in an ordinary gun.

Public Health Of Cities.-The N. Y. Evening
Post says that the mortality in the city of New
York is higher, according to the ratio of popula-
ton, than it is in any other Northern city, Thus,
in the week closing with the It'll inst, New York
had 3l2 deaths, while Philadelphia had l46, and
Boston only &c. There is larger influx of foreign
immigration into NewYork than any other city,
which may account for portion of this excess of
mortality, but tdoes not furnish sufficient cause.
The great cause is the filthy condition of the
streets and houses, which are allowed to be in such
condition as to engender and nourish disease.
The Street Inspector leaves people to complain to
the Grand Jury, while the Grand Jury leaves them
to the Sexton.
