Court of Claims Decision on Cotton
Seizure in Alabama-Claims Decided
or Dismissed-Weather Synopsis and
Probabilities.
WASHINGTON, May 29-The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, in the case of the
New York Central railroad, which claimed
exemption from certain taxation, has
ordered the collector to collect the tax,
81, 1881 900, from the road, which is the full
amount. The road has been fighting the
tax long time.
son of Brigham Young has been nomi-
mated to West Point.
Passports are required to enter France.
Secretary Delano has gone West. Mr.
COwan acts during his absence.
The Court of Claims decided in favor of the
government in the case of cotton seizure
in Alabama, in 1864. The claimants were
Curlute and Henderson, British subjects, re-
siding in Georgia during the war, but were
engaged in making saltpetre, which the
court construes into giving aid and comfort
to the enemy, otherwise the claim against
the government was good. The court
allows the claim of Francis j. Willis, of
Savannah, Georgia, for $26, 900, the proceeds
of l34 bales cotton captured. Throughout
the rebellion he warmly opposed secession.
Daniel Hass subject of France residing
in Charleston, was allowed $4,000 for
ninety bales seized at Charleston in 1865.
The court allowed another claim involv-
ing $l2.345.
Other claims were dismissed, owing to
the failure of the claimants establishing
their loyalty.
The court adjourns on Thursday.
Weather Report-SynOpsis for the past
twenty four hOurs-1he light rain reported
Sunday evening in California ceased during
the night, and to-day appears at the Rocky
mountain stations. From Colorado to Lake
Superior the temperature appears to have
been slightly increased with falling barom-
eter. The temperature has risen in New
York and Eastern States, with a decided
fall in the barometer, and the pressure has
generally diminished slightly in the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys. Light and fresh
winds have generally prevailed from the
South and southeast. Rain has been re-
ported from Tennessee, and threatening
weather still continues there. as well as in
Georgia and Northern Florida.
1t is probable that fresh southeast and
northeast winds will be experienced on
Lake Superior, and threatening weather
with light rains south and east Of Tennes-
see; no important change is indicated from
Illinois eastward to the Atlantic.

A New Block.

The new block building at the corner of
Canal and Chartres streets, is one of the
most substantial blocks in the city. We
have noted the progress of this building
from the time the old buildings that incum-
bered the ground were razed to the compile
ton. The foundation is extraordinarily
solid and perfectly safe, and the whole
edfce, including the iron work, is just as
strong and substantial as can be possible.
The building is not only an ornament to
the city, but credit to the architect, Mr..
L. N. Olivier, and the builder, Mr.. William
A. Jordan. A week or ten days ago, Mr..
Bell, the City Surveyor, inspected the
edifce, and pronounced upon it favorably
in every respect And yet one of the city
papers, the mission of which appears to be
that of chronic grumbler, very foolishly
endeavors to create the impression that this
new block is unsafe. The paragraph is
grossly unjust to the architect and builder,
and is calculated, if not intended, to work
an injury both to them and the owners of
this new, substantial and pretty block.

the reapers and mowers, the cultivators and
new plows with much interest; and if the
next year or two does not witness radical
change in the economy of many of the large
plantations, l am much mistaken. If the
Fair Association aceomplishes nothing more
than to show the farmers wherein lies their
true interests, it will yet be great success.

The Bay st. Louis Gazette furnishes
crop report:
Although we had splendid weather for al
most all kinds of crops, still in the valley of
Pearl river the high water has overhowed
the whole swamp, in which are located the
richest and most fertile farms of the coun-
try. This cuts short the rice and corn crop.
In the high pine lands of the interior we
hear that crops of all kinds look promising,
and with the gradual introduction of COM
mercial manures we may look for increased
yields hereafter.

the previous programme children's ball

prize in their tombola for the benefit of
their widows and orphans fund. Invita-

place on week day it is expected that a
great many ladies and children who would
not go on a Sunday will be present.
