The House Committee on Claims has
come TO an important decision in the case
referred to them as follows: W.. Morris,
Union refugee, while travelling from Texas
to Missouri, was robbed Of $500, in gold,
by guerrillas. He subsequently, served q,
a Union scout and spy under Generals
Grant and Dodge-receiving pay OF $500
per month. He afterwards raised and
commanded q company Of cavalry, and
was taken prisoner near Atlanta. He
offered a Confederate officer 800 to Sc
cure his release. Gen. Grant recommend
ed the claim be paid; but the committee,
after elaboration, made tho following
report: .. ..a.s ..I.
That neither claim presents any sufi-
Gent ground for relief.
If the first be allowed, it will afford
precedent for paying all damages commit
ted by depredations Of guerrillas during
the rebellion.
Tho second, IL sustained, will furnish
an example for re-imbursing prisoners Of
war sums expended to procure their re-
lease, and lead to the expenditure Of i'm
mense sums, and POSSIBLY, in some cases,
to payment Of considerable more than the
services of petitioners were worth to the
Government.
Il is understood that the recommends
tons Of the Controller Of Currency, for ex-
tending the capital Of National Banks to
S4Oo, 900, 900, will be brought up for ap-
proval of Congress; 20 that the banks of
Southern States may have their quotas
under the law. ,'h'. ." f"@
