The Kentucky Delegation and the President
How Suits 20 Recover Conflscated Property
are 10 be Brought.
WAsHiSaroy, March S.-The Kentucky dele
CATION, in their interview aud address to the
President to-day, expressed admiration and
confidence touching his general policy, but
complained of the suspension of the writ of
hdbeos corpus, the continuation of the Freed
mems Bureau, and the garrisoning of the State
by the military. The President, in reply, did not
touch upon these points, but stated simply
that he should take no step backward in his
policy.
To prevent litigation, II Is ordered by Major
General Augur, commanding the Department
OF Washington, that persons who have ac-
quired title 10 real estate and other property
sold by the Government as conflscated, shall
not be disturbed by suits In any State or mu-
nicipal court, but such suits shall be brought
only In the Federal courts. In the District
of Columbia all the courts are Federal courts !;

adjacent parts of Virginia and the city Of
Alexandria. ALPHA.

SrIT TO RECOVER CHURcH PROPERTY IN ALEX.
ASpRIA.-A case of very interesting charac.
ter, and which involves several nice points OF
law. will be tried mt the Circuit Court at Alex
andrIa to-day. II appears that In 1862, Christ
Church, on Washington street, in Alexandra,
was closed by the military authorities IN con-
sequence of the reasonable character OF the
sermons preached by Its pastor, Rev j. Dana'
and the evident disloyalty OF the congregation.
A short time after, divine services were
resumed under the auspices of the Union citi-
gems of Alexandria, vestry was elected, and a
clergyman called. Matters continued In THIS
state during the rebellion. The original trus-
tees of the church claim that they have con-
troll over the church property, rs the appoint
ments of the yestry made subsequent TO their
deposal was not sanctioned by the County
Court, as required, and therefore the SUIT Is
brought 10 recover possession - Washington

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The superinten-
tendents of Freedmen's Village have been in
structed by General Howard to divide the
Arlington estate lying east of the road into
flve-acre lots, TO be rented on written agree
ments, the rent TO be paid at each harvesting

property, does not revert 10 the heirs at the
death of owners. 1t was sold for taxes, and
purchased by the Government for the purpose
TO which ii is now applied.
tits stated there have been upwards OF two
thousand persons pardoned in Virginia by the
President, under the twenty thousand-d dollar
clause, since the issuing OF the amnesty pro-

MIR. EDITOR I'm my communication of
last week, "Mr. Harris recent discovery"
should read "Mr. Morris recent discovery"
Our mines are daily contributing their mite
towards the prestige of old Calaveras. Our
business m, n complain of not finding time to
rest, and all who are willing to work have
no excuse for being idle. Discoveries of new
veins are of frequent occurrence, but the old
"worked out" claims and extensions of them
prove to be the most valuable. Four out of
five paying claims were worked and aban-
,doned in early days. Chino & Cruz cleaped
up 1877 ounces (worth sl74 per ounce from
81 tons of quartz, taken from an abandoned
mine formerly owned and worked by Mr..
Mentzel. Lenhart & Co. will commence
grinding this week at Smiths mill; they in
tend to keep two arastras running for at
least two months; their shaft is only 26 feet
deep, but the length of the pay bunch or
chimney enables them to turn out large
quantity of rock before sinking any deeper.
The pump-shaft of the Gouldson mine is
down 80 feet; the enormous increase of wa
ter will prevent them for the present from
sinking it deeper. TRUE.
