b PRIVATE CLAIMS ON THE GovERNMENT.-It
is stated in the report of committee appointed
by meeting lately held in Washington by the
claimants from different States Of the Union that
there are hundreds of cases the dockets OF both
Houses, which have been favoraby reported by
unanimous votes OF the committees to which they
were referred, many Of which have passed or
the other branch Of Congress, and finally failed for
the want of action in the other branch. MANY
claims of acknowledged justice have been before
Congress for .tfiy gears and upwards, and defeat
ed by minority On account of the miserable rules
adopted By Congress. The Claimants Committee
think, and no doubt correctly, that since the per
diem WAS abolsheL Congress has shown much less
disposition to work than before, and HAT the pco-
pie ought to pledge candidates for that body to
for restoration Of the per diem -@

will now, hereafter, and forever, put an end to the

OUT OF ENpLoYMENT-Iherea are more men
out Of employment in Cleveland now, says the
Plaindealer than there ever were before at this
season. They. must live, and are willing to work

men seeking employment where only one can get
it. The city laborcrs there are now working for
half dollar day; aud thousands almost starving
for want of work. Farmers in Northern Illinois
are hiring men at eight dollars month In Buff

EMIGRATION OF FREE NEGROES TO JAMAIcA.-A

Inducing the free coIored population of our

men Of Kingston. @
The result of the meeting was the adoption of
resolutions urging the Legislature at its next
session, to provide fund for conveying to Jamaica

induced to go. This measure was thought too
