TIE CHARLESTON coahs,I Arms
The Status OF the Pending Sufts--The
Cascs that have becn Adjudicatea, and
the Amounts Alloyved-The unsatisRed
Claimants have yet to Prove.

[FRoM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
WARRINGTON, January 16-A recent article
in The NEWS censures, in rather sweeping
terms, the dilatory character Of the proceed
ings in the Court Of Claims, and intimates. in
q manner more candi than complimentary.
that the functionaries OF that august tribunal
have shown themselves distinguished prof.
clients in the noble art of elbow Not to Do II. /"
A glance at the record, however, proves that
whatever may have been the shortcomings OF
the court in respect to speedy action, Charles
ton has scant cause OF complaint on that score,
as compared with other cities.
In report recently transmitted to Congress
by the chief clerk of the Court of CLAIMS find
statement of the judgments rendered dur
ing the year ending December 2, 1868. with
the amounts involved, the names of the parties
in whose favor judgment was rendered, and q
brief synopsis of the. nature Of the claims in
each case. In this list Charleston figures very
prominently, the number of her successful
claims being nearly if not quito one-haf of Tie
whole number allowed. These claims, l am
told, have long since been pail. As the parti-
'culars in regard to these cases have never
been published, l have transcribed the name
of the parties, with the amount and date Of
judgment in each Of the Charleston cases. I
may add that the dates given are all included
in the year 1868. and that the subject matter
Of all the claims was sscotton captured by
United States forces" The following is the
lists
