NORTHERN CLAIMS IN seuEL STATES.


One OF The uniavorable consequences
OF the present insurrecton is the entire
suppression in many phases of all ordinary
means of administering civil justice by the
officers, and in the forms OF existing
law. This is the case in whole or in part
in all the insurgent States. and as our ar,
mics advance upon and take possessien oil
parts of those States, the practical evil
becomes more apparent. There are no
courts or officers to whom the ciliz~ns OF
other States may apply for the enforce
ment Of their lawful claims against citi
zens OF the insurgent States, and there is
a vast amount of debt consttutin !; such
claims, Some have estimated it as high
as 200 600, COZ pllnrs, due in large part
from insurgents in open rebellion to loyal
citizens, who are even now making grea,
sacrifices in the discharge o. their patri-
otie duty TO support the Government. I'm

A Destructive Fire.

On Tuesday morning about a O'Clock,
our citizens were aroused from their quie,
slrmbefs By the alarm of fire sounding
in our streets. On coming forth from
our dwellings the whole sky was illumin-
ea with the reflection Of the burning bull
dings, and in nearing the locus Of the FIRE
the 6tful blaze shot up far above the SUR
rounding buildings. 1t was soon d;scoy-
cred that the cause of the grand illumin-
alton was the burning of VIM. Ayers

large wagon manufsctory Of Bearinger.
Hale Il Co. The buildings were con
structed Of wood, two stories high, and
containing large stock Of material, all
of which was combustible, and upon
which the flames were soon feeding. In
the course of two hours the entire pile of
buildings were charred mass Of ruins,
together with the dwelling OF Mr.. Bearin-

that Congress will! be able to find an easy
remedy for the many inconvenience and
evils which embarrass those engaged in
the practical administration of them.

ment. Congress has enacted some 5000
acts and joint resolutions, which fill MOI e

scattered through many volumes. Many
OF these acts have been drown in haste

the labor and service of certain other per
