was not made. The cases are now sent to
the present board by Mr.. Seward, to deter
mine whether the decisions should stand or
be reopened.
The umpire of the present board, Sir

eminent as its attorney, and Mr.. Walter S.

The cases to DO argued on Wednesday
grew out Of tho privateering Of our citizens
in the wars of the South American nations

prizes by the Colombian Government. They
involve many interesting questions connected
with those early days.

Trade Is dull for the season. Prices Of all
goods are downward. The fall in the rates
of the exchange reduces the prices of foreign
goods, which, from an excess Of supply, are
also selling below cost and the tall in cotton
and gold, actual and prospective, renders the
market for home products continual fall
ing one. No dealers will buy largely for
stock, but only for immediate consumption.
Dealers from the interior are on here, but
buy sparingly. Payments from Western
buyers are reported to be backward, which
is checking their credit. Prints have again
declined lc.a2c. Some considerable sales
have been made at the reduction, but prices
are still heavy. Brown shirtings and sheet
ings have declined. The demand is mode
rate. Dleached prime goods are rather
scarce, and therefore not SO heavy in price.
Delaines have fallen cents yard and are
still tending downward, the demand being
below the supply. A good inquiry exists for
doeskins, which are steady; and cloakings
for ladies are firm and active. Shawls are
abundant, but dull and lower. Fancy cassi-
meres are in over-supply. The demand is
limited and prices are declining. Foreign
goods are very inactive at private SALE and,
except for linens, prices arc lower. Quota
tiOns are nominal. The auction sales are
numerous, and large parcels arc forced to n
sale at low prices. Silks suitable for man
tillas and cloaks are most inquired for. Ger.
man woven dress-goods, shawls, silks, rib
bons, and fancy cassimercs have been exten
sively sold through the auction.rooms. The
impOrtations Of goods continues nevertheless.

of American paper of the same grade. An.
other estimate makes the difference in favor
Of "foreign paper ten per cent. instead Of
twenty-five per cent" 1t is certainly de-
monstratcd that paper can be imported at
cheaper rates than our paper-makers are de-
manding. Mr.. Bennett, Of the New York
Herahi," told us that he was importing good
news paper at fifteen cents per pound, whereas
the American paper makers wero charging
twenty cents for the same quality.

A WEST VIRGINIA CLAE-Somo time ago
a citizen of West Virginia petitioned the
Senate to indemnify him for the loss of his
printing Office at Ravenswood, valued at
three thousand dollars, destroyed by the
rebels in 1862. 1t appeared from the report
that the petitioner did his duty manfully,
and assisted in the defence of his country,
but in this the Committee of Claims say he
did no more than his duty as q citizen and a
patriot, that the Government has never rec
ognized liability for claims of this charac.
ter, or considered a citizen entitled to re-
ward for doing n service which his duty and
loyalty compelled him to perform. His liza.
bilities and risks were the same that pertain
to every one who loves his country and is
loyal to her, His place and situation de.
mand sacrifice. and he performed his duty
and met his losses at the hands of lawless
horde of rebels. The committee add: "We
commend his fidelity, but can never recog-
niEe the liability of Government for his
losses.''

Freedmen's Affairs In North Carolina

rFteuhfehb hhhhs IN NoEth ShTOithh.
Tho Assistant Commissioner of freedmen's
affairs for the State of North Carolina re-
ports to Major General o. o. HOWARD, date
of Raleigh, March IS, that very slow i'm
provement in the affairs Of the freedmen of
that State is manifest. But few cases of
violent outrages are reported, but instances
of petty annoyance and interference with
the industry and enterprise of freedmen,
who are trying to do well, arc numerous
their horses and mules are stolen; their
fences torn down; their pigs killed, and their
arms taken away. The Assistant Commits
sioner says that the perpetrators of such
mean acts can rarely be detected, and when
detected, 1t is not an easy matter to bring
them to Justice.
The freedmen of the State are not yet free
from apprehension that their liberty will
prove but dream. They sec SO much ILL
feeling exhibited towards them, and hear so
often that they are an inferior race, and must
always expect to be that, that they are
afraid to trust the white people. The As.
sistant Commissioner thinks that could the
freedmen be sure of full protection every
where they would exert themselves more
earnestly to acquire property and improve
their condition; and notwithstanding all the
discouragements under which they labor, the
Assistant Commissioner states there are many
cheering signs of progress.

an, NJ DANA,

The Chicago Republican prints DANA's
letter to the President, in which he so mod
estly sets forth his claims to the New York
collectorship, and weakly attempts to parry
the force Of the erpose by repeating certain
stale untruths about President JOHNSON.
The Chicago Journal makes the following
pertinent remarks on the subject;
ave regret that the Chicago Republican,
in publishing the letter of its editor to the
President, is not content to let II rest on its
own merits, instead of indulging in false
hoods in regard to the Executive.
