LAW AND AGENCY.

A FTER the month Of June, the undersigned
n will give his attention to business general
~ in the Court Of Claims and in the other CouTts
held in the District of Columbia-also, to mat
ters pending in Congress and in the several De-
pcrtments, in which claimants may require coun-
sci. He will not be prepared before the LIST of
July TO enter into correspondence on such busi-
ness, as his time will be wholly engrossed until
July in closing up his affairs connected with the
american Organ.
The undersigned, having obtained, during the
twenty odd years which he devoted mainly to
Revolutionary Claims, at Washington, large
amount Of facts and proofs connected with the
services of officers Of the Revolution, and hav-
ing complete list of all those Continental Or
GERS who were promised halfp by the several
resolves Of Congress, and Of those also whose
widows and children were entitled to "seven
years. half pay" under the resolve of oath Au-
gust, 1850, will be prepared 10 prosecute such
claims, it the biz reported to pay such claims,
hitherto faverably acted upon in both Houses of
Congress, at different times, shall become law;
and Of this but little doubt is entertained.
The undersigned will also give his especial
attention to those Virginia Bounty Land Claims
and Virginia haLfpGy Claims, which remain IN.
adjusted, and also to any and all other classes Of
demands upon the Government, which may be
of sufficient magnitude to afford q reasonable
compensation.
Prompt attention will be given to the collec-
ton of individual debts, and 10 all professional
business in the Courts Of the District.
The undersigned will be prepared by the LIST
of July, 10 furnish Circulars to ali correspond
ents, giving them such information Is they may
require before engaging his services, and which
Circulars will save much time and labor in cor
respondence. They will be sent to all who may
desire them.
He will also be prepared to furnish to those
who may require them (and for a reasonable
compensation) full and complete lists of the OF.
feers Of the Continental Army whose cases are
embraced In the bills which have been pending
in Congress for the last two or three years, and
on which, a. before stated, favorable action has
been had in each House at different sessions of
Congress.
DESTROYS Of placing within the reach of all the
descendants of Revolutionary Offers the means
of sscertaining irhStAer or net the names Of their
ancestors are found upon the authentic rolls of
the Army, among those embraced in the bills
referred %, the undersigned will furnish for pub
LEGATION, 70 all publishers Of newspapers who viii
give this advertisement three Insertions in their
papers respectively land send . copy thereof to
him) full lists Of taeeeSs sfoyessiS for he thir-
teen orjgindI States. The publication Of these
lists will eHectuAlly remove one main objection
10 the proposed bill which has been raised by
some members Of Congress, to-wit: that these
claims were kRoIca emily 70 agents, who would
charge exorbitant commissions for the presecu-
ton and recovery Of them, leaving but little to
the claimants. .-
If claimants, with full knowledge of their
rights, think proper to give one-hdf or any other
portion of their claims 10 their attorneys, the
government has no right 10 complain. If mem
befs Of Congress, instead Of Illuminating their
wrath against agents, would procure the publica-.
ton Of the lists Of claims embraced in every
law they enact leo far as the records Of the gov
eminent furnish the names Of parties entitled,)
they would render far more valuable service
to their constitumtO than By oypOsi1g law to
pay Just claims on the pretext that agents viii
receive large fees for their services.
Il IL not, however, the purpose Of the under
signed 70 interfere, In any manner, with mem
bers of Congress, in the discharge Of their d.
ties, nor with agents in the recovery Of their
eommissisas, whether high or low. The publics-
ton Of the lists in the newspapers, is, in bis
judgment, Q simple act Of justice 70 claimants--
and il is but Just to himself, and cannot possibly
be complained Of By others when be states, that
for the prosecution and recovery Of the claims
of OfeeTs Of the Confidential Army, whose
names are on the lists referred to, his commits
recovered. His commissions in other cases win
be matter of special contract.
To save all unnecessary correspondence the
undersigned states, that he cannot attend to
claims Of soldiers for pensions under the act of
1892, nor can he make Investigations into any
pension cases " sHsPended" BY the Pension or
Zee, without the prepayment Of fee. The ca
ses Of widows, under the act Of I'd Of February,
1853, who are entitled arrears from 1913, win
be prosecuted in the Court Of Claims for COM
mission Of ten per cent on the arrears-
Letters making inquiries about claims of va
rious descriptions, cannot be answered, unless
fee accompanies the application. The time re-
ouired to ezanline cases, and the necessary ex-
pense Of correspondence, in time, hostages, &e7
&c, forbid such examinations, without some COM
pensation thsrefor.
Persons Who may wish to know on what terms
generally, the undersigned viii investigate and
prosecute claims, may learn, BY addressing him
letter enclosing postage stamp and asking
for his " Circular b correspondence"
