CLAIMS UPON THE GovERNMENT.-While the
Washington lobby, from its INSCRIPTIONS and
ingenious operations in bogus cases, has thrown
cloud Of suspicion on almost all private claims
that are brought against the government, there
ore yet some which are perfectly clear, which
should have been settled many years ago, but
which still remain unpaid. The claim of Mr..
Haym N. Solomon, the legal representative of
Haym Solomon, banker, at Philadelphia, during
the Revolution, for several hundred thousand
dollars of cash loaned to the United States at
that day as the sinews of war; is one of these just
claims, which should be paid without further
chafering or delay. Its justice has been recog-
nized by the Treasury Department, and by va
rious Congressional committees, from time to
time. At the present session Mr.. Shields, from
the Senate committee on the subject, has pre-
sented all the evidences needed to justify the
committees report recommending the payment
Of this claim, The applicant is an Old man; be
has waited and waited for years upon Copgress
Why should he wait any longers
The claim of Jacob Barker on account of
moneys loaned to the government during the
war Of 1872, whose case is now pending be-
fore the Court of Claims is another cash claim
Upon techncality Or two, it appears the Court
has ruled adversely; but, from the document Of
the Plaintiff, which we publish in another part
Of this paper it will be seen that the spirit and the
equity Of the law are on his side Itwould appear
that one objection raised against this claim is that
Mr.. Barker advanced his funds to the govern
nent not in SPECIE but in bank notes, and that
as those bank notes were not legal tender, the
claim is void; but the plaintiff answers that "the
acceptance Of bank notes as money precludes
subsequent plea that such notes were not legal
tender" True; and if there be no stronger plea
against this claim than this bubble the claim in
wolves debt which should be redeemed without
further quibbling. We think Mr.. Barker must
be mistaken in supposing that Judge Blackford
considered the notes of a broken bank money If
not, 1t is the first time that such unsound and
unconstitutional doctrines has been put forth in
any court in the United States.

ENGLISH REFORMS IND REroRxERs.-Mr.
Bright's proposed MEASURE Of Parliamentary
reform begins to occupy good deal of the pub

to Its present constituency.
In connection with this subject, the arrival Of
Mr.. Golden amongst US has certain signif-

during the last fifteen years, and, shoulder TO

DEFEAT OF ANOTHER GRADING AND LEvELIING
JoB.-The bill for changing the plans of the
streets Of New York north of 125th street and
west Of Eighth avenue has been reported unfa-
vorably by the Senate Committee, and all fur
Their proceedings in the matter may therefore be
looked upon as postponed until the next session
of the Legislature. Thus the beautiful region
lying beyond these boundaries, and crowned by
Fort Washington, has been saved for the present
from the hands of the Vandals who would level
grade and square everything down 10 the mea-
sure Of their own stunted understandings. or
the class Of minds 80 happily typifed by Words
worth's "Peter Bell" these persons can see no
thing in the natural beauties and advantages of
that part of the island which is worth preserv-
ing; or, seeing it, they are ready to sacrifice it
for the chances Of making fat jobs out of the al
terations proposed by this bill. Our citizens
have reason to congratulate themselves on the
defeat Of this measure, for they, perhaps, even
more than the owners Of the property in ques-
ton, are Interested in preserving as many of its
lnc natural features as can be retained consistent
with the growing wants Of our population.
II the principle Of mathematical regularity
is to be carried out in the laying out Of streets
over the remaining surface of the island, New
York will in another half century be one Of the
dreariest cities in the world. There will be no
escaping in any direction from interminable
lines of brick and stone, crossing each other at
right angles, and wearying by their geometrical
accuracy. Then will be realized, In all its desc
iateness, the idea Of the living wilderness which
