A REMARKABLE CLAIM.--lt is said that bill

five hundred aud fifty dollars for damages
alleged to have been doue sheets, pillow-eases
aud carpets. aud for hire of servants, at the
house in Tenth street. opposite Ford's Theatre,
in which President Lincoln died.
This is to compensate for tue occupation Of
the premises about ten hours by distinguished
officials on the unfortunate occasion. When il
is considered that this house was open for
exhibition ut fifty cents per head for a consid.
erable period after the Presidents death, when
Washington was crowded with strangers Ia
attend his funeral, and subsequently, to witness
the grand reviews, and that considerable sum
must have been realized therefrom, this last
demand is rather cool. Its chances Of passing

FORT, SMITH, ARK, Sept lO-The Indian
Council yesterday was taken up in reading
stipulations to be imposed by the Govern
ment on all treaties in the Southwest. The
stipulations propose a grand consolidation
of all Indian tribes into one nation, the ter

living in Kansas are to be removed South,
and the Southwestern tribes to be expected
to compel the Indians of the plains to OBJ
serve the treaties. The Indians now here
say they understand they were called to
meet the late ebel tribes and reneMf friendly

In Need of Men and, MOney-.The
Imperials Rejoicing Over Late
Victories. s (
New YORK., Sept. 12.-The Tribune's
Matamoras correspondent says The aid
wanted by the chiefs OF the Liberal party
Is legion estrangera of about 10000 men,
in order to force all leaders to obey the
regular generals, aud to take and hold some
point rs a center of union. In my conver-
sations with Trevino de Leon and others,
they dwell upon these two points. The
Liberal forces are now split up In small
bodies, each operating in State. Ii two
or more of those bodies unitek French
I force is sent against them, and owing to
the quality of the latter, the result of nearly
every fight is in their favor. A columnlof
ten thousand men entering this country
now, would find the Imperial forces in
small bodies, all over d vast extent of ter
ritory, and would be able to beat those
bodies in detail and drive them in great
haste from the points they hold, with loss
of war material. To raise a legion of
ten thousand men one million dollars is
necessary to begin with, and this is the
great want at present. If that sum could
be raised there would be means to. arm,
clothe, and feed the legion,until some points
in this country, such as Matam0ras, could
be taken and few million dollars raised
by requisition. A commissioner Is at this
moment in Brownsville with instructions
from st. Loda de Teada, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, to raise loan Of 81 ,000, ,000 then
to raise legion, buy so many stand OF
rifles, so many rounds of ammunition, six
batteries of rifled guns, SO many rounds of
shell and case shot, etc. But this COM
missioner cannot raise the loan and will
not do the rest, with no funds, as it would
be folly. The facts are these: There Il
to be no war at present in favor of Mex
ico. The order to Geu. Sheridan show
that the Liberal party wants private alC
from the United States. and Is lost With
out It,. 10000 to 10000 men can be raised
for the party it may regain power.
The Herald's Vera Cruz correspondent o1
| the lst says: The Imperialists were in &
state of intense excitement and JOY over thu
official announcement by Marshal BaZaint
OF two Imperial triumphs. 1t seems tina
the rumor, which we lave so often. .previ
6nsly had of the flight of Juarez and Til,
taking of his Capital by MaXimiIian's
troops, has at last proved true. They en-
tered it on the 18th Of August. The othe
Imperial victory was the occupation of tht
townCof ,HermOsilla, a place of less thai
5000 inhabitants, which the Republican
had previously evacuated. , ,- RE'h
These affairs, though Of no great inpor
tance, were being made much of in cele
bratiOps and illuminations by the Imperial
lists, and special steamer had been dis
patched from Vera Cruz for France, to con
yey the intelligence of them; and yet thi
affair-is insignificant compared. with rth
