ATTEMPTED ROBBERY-'The residence of
Mr.. John G.. Palmer, near the depot of
the North Carolina railroad, was entered
last night by q thief or thieves, through q
rear window. They took Il trunk from the
premises to the back yard and ransacked it.
Singular to say, the depredators left all the
clothing scattered around, and departed
without any booty. Money or articles con-
vertible into cash must have been the OBJ
iect of the adyenturers.

COMMISSIONERS OF CLAI1Is. This body
has been in session three or four weeks, and
will continue to sit several weeks longer
/ The Commissioners have embodied their
principles Of action in a set of rules, here
tofore published in the Sentinel. These
rules are based on the Constitution, and
laws affecting the claims which are not, by
the Convention, declared to be VOld-and
which the Legislature are bound to provide
the means of paying. A copy Of these rules
can be had Oh application to the Board.
Some claims have been already acknowl-
edged by the Legislature as binding, while
the consideration Of many has been post
poned, to await the action Of these Com
missioners, whose duty requires them to
approve all such as are not repudiated by
the Convention, and report them to the
next session Of the Legislature, that prOvls-
ion may then be made for their ultimate
/ payment
All who hold claims against the State,
whether by bond or otherwise, which Origi-
mated during the war, and which the claim
ants believe to be free from war taint,
should present them to this Board without
delay. it may be that the Legislature will
refuse to consider them, and provide for
their payment, without the approval OF this
Board, which was constituted for the eX-
press purpose of relieving that from the
many perplexities which embarrass the sub
iect.
| The claims as yet presented are presumed
to be but small part of those outstanding,
which are entitled to favorable cOnsldera-
! ton. There should be no delay in present
| ing these claims. .- Raleigh Sentinel
! SATISFACTORY CONDTTION OF THE FREED
MEN IN NORTH CAROLINA.-Breyet Major
General n. \. Miles, Assistant Commits
sioner Of the Freedmen's Bureau for the
State of North Carolina, in his report for
the month Of April, represents satlsfactos
ry condition of affairs in that State. The
majOrity Of all classes appear to be moving
in their respective spheres with Il determ1-
nation OF purpose calculated to produce
! good results. withstanding much dcsti-
tuition prevails, there are encouraging pros
poets Of its being materially decreased
Crops bid fair fora large yield, and early
fruits and vegetables will soon be available.
The advancing spring offers many oppor-
tunities to labor, and there are but few To-
calities where those so disposed cannot OBJ
tain at least partial support The very
liberal donation from Northern philan-
thropists, in conjunction with the faclll-
ties offered by the recent resolutions OF
Congress, have enabled the bureau to reach
cases OF destitutiOn unknown heretofore,
or unable to be reached by the government.
Farmers are working the fullest possible
extent of their resources, and large tracts
of land, which have until now remained
forests, OF which have for years renamed
idle, have been taken up by energetic
freedmen, who are busy with their opera
tions, showing conclusively by the results
, already obtained that the great experience
of free labor IS a success As q general rule
contracts are strictly observed by both par
ties interested, and complaints of wrongs
or injuries are seldom heard. The educa
: tional work continues with unabated ardor
notwithstanding the season has arrived
when many are called to the field Of man
, ual labor. The monthly returns show ;
, much more gratifying result than for any
r corresponding period of the year previous
: General Miles also says =" The initiator,
steps taken towards giving the colored peo
!. pie their rights of representation alread,
' give 5yidence of its influence in the devel
| opment of their manhood in quiet man
2 ner, indicating their appreciation of thel
t position, unattended by any evidences OF ella
, tedness, but with an earnestness OF pur
. pose characterized by moderation and pro
q per reasoning.-N. Y. Herald.
