this did not hold good he had prior claim to tho
United States in Confederation Of hs fact that he had Ios
ceiors decision annesrs 70 have been vcry clear He
said there could be no doubt that the United States were
entitled to the cotton but to the force Of the agree
mont between the Southern government and Mr. PRO
iea, that was a more serious matter since IL was

government sDere bound by tie agreement of fhore
Uhonp they ,scceedsd He considered, therefore
that the United States take the cotton subject to
fulfilling the agreement made between the Confederate
government and Mr.. Prioleau; but a. much dispute
would arise In negotiating the settlement Of the affair
and half Of the cotton appeared to be pretty
ainy the property OF the defunct government under
the agreement and not Mr. Prioeaus he ordered that
Mr. prioeau should be appointed receiver in the cause
which would enable him 10 dispose OF the cotton and
pay all proper charges, he giving security for

absolutely the property Of the United States
We need not tell our readers that this suit s one OF
very interesting character and that the settlement Of
IL likely 10 lead 70 considerable discussion, although
fortunately the AFFAIR s so entirely In the hands OF the
lawyers that no diplomatic dmculty 10 likely to arise out

the terms OF the order OF the court and being hencefo
