Nswa About the Working People.

The Pittsburg Gazette says that desti-
tuition, arising from scarcity OF labor,
prevails to an alarming extent in that
city and its neighborhood The Secre-
tary of the Board of Poor Directors
reports that there have been more appli-
cations for temporary relief during the
past few weeks in Pittsburg than were
made during any corresponding period
within the last thirteen years.
In Washington, correspondent writes
the number of mechanics and laborers
who have been discharged from the Gov
ernment shops is greater than is gene
rally known. Discharges have been 60
ing on since the beginning of Novem-
ber, and within the last four months over
Eve hundred men have been dis
charged from the Quartermaster's 8
Department alone. This sudden ces-
sation of work at the commencement
of a severe winter, he adds, has
produced vast amount of suffering and
want, and not day passes but the de-
partments are besieged by crowds OF
people seeking employment, all reciting
the same sorrowful story. Efforts are
being made to induce Congress to SO
legislate that the Government may give
work to those who most need it,
The Houghton (Mich.) Gazette says
there cannot be less than five hundred
men out of employment in the Portage
Lake copper mine district alone, and in
three copper districts fully one thousand.

With reference to the distress in Lon

that labor which skill draws after it,
during the American war. The termina-
tior of that struggle and other reasons
have paralyzed the special industry of

Tennessee Judges.

Toward the close Of the war, when,
for party purposes, IL became important
that Tennessee should bo represented in
the Union, advantage was taken OF mill
tary success to set up a so-called gov
ernment. Judges and other State officers
we're appointed by Gen. Andrew John
son, the Military Governor OF the State.
These may be styled war judges.
Owing to the fact that almost without
an individual exception, outside OF Nash
vile, every lawyer Of any ability or
reputation in the State, had either en-
tered the Confederate service, or openly
sympathized with the cause, the judges
had to be made out Of very poor material.
Andrew johnson is not q lawyer, but he
is man of sense, and knows that real
Judge cannot be made out OF ftth'rate
lawyer. He did the best that he could,
however, with the material on hand.
We doubt not, il he had had better
material, he would have made a better
lob of it. Johnson's judges, both Of
high and low degree, held over under
Johnson's appointee, Brownlow. Since
Brownlow came into power, however,
quite a number Of the best of his mas
ter's appointees have resigned and their
places have been filled by him. Consid-
ering Brownlow's sense, it is perhaps
but fair to presume that he, too, did the
best he could out of the material before
him. His party law required that a
Judge should be loyal, and loyal lawyers
according TO Brownlow are very scarce
and very small, what there is of them.
"Small potatoes and few in the hill"
So that Brownlow's judges fall one step
lower in the scale than Johnson judges.
But there is lower depth yet, and these
are negro judges. In order to get rid OF
the vexation of being annoyed by the
Office beggars, Brownlow has, within the
last few months ordered elections In
quite number of judicial districts In
every case the negroes have done almost
all the voting, and of course, have chosen
the Judges. As johnson and Brownlow's
Judges reflect the sense Of their makers,
so do the negro judges represent the
class that elected them.
So much for the mode by which the
present judiciary of Tennessee came into
Office. AS to the manner in which they
have conducted themselves on the bench,
charity bids us admit that they have done
as best they knew how. In one or more
instances the judge happened to be a low
bred, ill-mannered, blasphemous wretch
at heart-it was not reasonable to expect
him to play the gentleman on the bench.
As for their decisions, they command all
the respect that they are entitled to. In
one case, at least, the Supreme bench
was under the suspicion of bribery, and
this fact is evidence enough Of the esti-
nation in which it is held for integrity.
johnson sjudges were bad, Brownlows s
worse, and the negroes are worst 1t is
some little consolation to know that we
have touched bottom. But the consola-
ton will lose all of its virtues if we do not
learn something from our troubles All
misfortunes should teach wholesome
lessons Columbia Herald.

Cheap bread in hard times is one OF
the Emperor Napoleen's inventions for
the benefit Of the Parisians. He has per
suaded all the bakers Of the capital to
agree to sell bread at a certain invaria-
BILE price per pound, indemnifying them
for any losses they may incur, and al
lowing them small margin Of profit out
of fund accumulated from a special
tax on all breadstuffs imported into Paris.
The more prosperous bakers did not, at
first, relish the system, which cut down
their incomes, but the less successful

The Red River Cotton Captured by Genera
Banks, in 1864.

Banks, in 1864.
Correspondence of Chicago Evening Journal
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. January 24.-In my
kilograms of recent date, reference has
been made to the Red river cotton prize
cases of 1864, which for the past two years
have figured very conspicuously in the
United States courts of this city.
The large amounts involved in those
claims, together with the eminent counsel
whose professional services they have
called out, have invested the cases with
more than ordinary interest, and some
what heightened conversation on the
subject, with the Hon. r. M. Corwin, of
Cincinnati, who is now in town attending
to the interests of the claimants before
the courts, elected the following version
of the facts:
The captures in which the suits origi.
mated were made on Red river and its
tributaries, in the spring of 1864, by the
Banks-Porter expedition, and the prop
erty brought to Cairo and labeled as
"prize of war" in this court. AS soon
as they could be relieved from the un-
pleasant predicament in the rebel lines,
the legal owners came here and set up
claims to their property. A great many
had their property restored to them, but
others were not so fortune. A case is
now being prepared by Mr. Corwin for
the Court of Claims at Washington, of
singular interest The amount involved
is $45l ,502 l6. 1t seems that the first
lots of cotton that reached Cairo were
captured in March. There we're upwards
of 2l0O bales, and by the llth of May,
1864, within two months of the capture,
it was condemned as "prize of wal"
and the proceeds forwarded to Washing
ton, to be distributed among the captors
and to the navy bounty fund. The
government got none Of it, and gets
none oft
The universal law of "prize" is that
there shall be no condemnation of prize
property until there has been lapse of
a year and a day. This ic to enable
claimants, who are supposed to be
abroad, to come in and prove their claims
to the captured property. In this case
that rule does net seem to have been
adhered TO.
In the meantime, the rebellion came
to an end, and legal owners were released
from their dilemma within the rebel lines,
and lost no time in coming here and
setting up their claim, and the court
gave them judgments of restitution, but
the money was not here to pay them.
The court, after the decision of the Su-'
preme Court holding that there could be
no prize of war of property on land in
the United States, set aside that decree,
ordering this money sent to Washington,
and directed the Secretary of the Treas
ury to return the same for distribution
to the legal owners.
The questions are numerous and in
teresting, aud will come up in the cases
about to be instituted in the Court Of
Claims. The Government, having re-
ceived the money on an erroneous and
void decree, the Treasury Department
must needs account for it TO those le-
gally entitled to it r.
