The EDITORIAL TREADMILL.-
The Home Journal thus describes
the editors burdens
It is one of the hardships Of our
profession that its working wheels
brains and heart--are not allowed to
lag for sickness, or stop for calamity
or sorrow. The Judge may adjourn
his court, the school and the work
shop may close shutters, the mourner
may veil his features, and turn friend
and stranger from the door, but the
journalist must forget before to-mor-
row the sorrows of to-day, must write
gaily and freshly as a news-monger,
on the trife of the hour, whatever
burden has been laid On that same
hour by Providence, or his brains as
a man. 1t sometimes tries and mocks,
as the world that reads what is thus
written would never dream of. The
public looks upon the editors labors
as the Indian did upon the man that
was cutting hay. He finally gave
his opinion that it was "easy to see
the white man now"

Important to Persons Having Claims
Against the Government. 4

Many persons in this vicinity
whose property was damaged by the
United States military forces during

structions to be Of great value in
prosecuting their claims:
The only way to collect pay for
mere damages committed by the
armies of the United States is by
special act of Congress. The depart
ments will not pay damages, and no
court has jurisdiction of that class of
claims, under existing laws.
To apply for special act, the
claimant should prepare his or her
petition. alleging:
LIST. Title to the property or other
things alleged to have sustained dam
age, must be fully set forth by de-
scription and value.
I'd. By whom the damages were
committed or if by the army or
navy, state what organization, regi-
ments, or ships, and who was the
commanding officer and in command
at the time. a&1#%
Sd. The damages must be set forth
fully each thing damaged should be
described accurately and completely,
and the character and amount OF
damages done, fully set forth.
4th. The loyalty Of the claimant
must be averred and sustained by
proof. # l.Is5t
PRooF.-The damages alleged must
be sustained by proof, each item fully
and clearly proven as to kind, charac'
ter, value and by whom committed.
The proof cannot be too clear and
plain.
Gases, when intended for presenta
ton to Congress, can not be too care
fully prepared; the petition should
carefully describe everything connec.
ted with the claim, and the PROOF
should be taken only to the points
mentioned in the petition. Each aft
davit should have five cent Interna
