A CASE was decided last June 10 the Court
of Claims which had special interest for many
veterans who have done their country good
service, and who have been rather shabby
treated. We refer to those who received COM
missions from the government of the several
States, were assigned to duty and served
through the war, but were not mustered in
owing to the circumstances of their companies
falling below the minimum establis shed by the
War Department.. Hitherto the Treasury of
ficers, acting upon the opinion of the Attorney
General, have refused to give them their pay.
To test the question, Lieut.. A. j. Henry, of
the I'd Ohio, brought a suit in the Court of
Claims for something over $1,000 Judge Mott
decided that the Lieutenant must be paid. In
the course of his remarks he said -
"The Court remembers that this suit affects
not the claimant alone, but class of citizens
no deserve we'll of their country, and who,
their country desires, should receive the full
measure of legal Justice to which they may be
entitled. For them no appeal lies to the Su-
pIeme Court; for the defendants it does. II
this suit be decided adversely to the claimant
by this court, the decision will be final against
all of these soldiers They are men who rose
from the ranks by hard fighting aud good con-
duct, earning their commissions before they
got them, and working for them after they
came; and it seems strange anomaly that six
years after the war ended. such men should he
driven to seek the fruits of their promotion in
court of Justice. Without expressing an Opin-
ion on the construction of the statutes, we will
and the officers toward obtaining the final de-
cision of the court OF last resort, by an imme-
date decision.

terday to Joachim Raft, the celebrated compo-
SER who lives at Wiesbaden. He kept me for
nearly four hours, and assure you L got much
good advice and many golden opinions about
music and artists in general, He was affable
in the extreme, and showed me the proof of
two new trios; also the score of new violin
concerto which he has composed for Willie
ling, the great volinist. OF course lost no
opportunity of asking him questions about all
those compositions which had been performed
in Philadelphia, and told him what pleasure
they had given both performers and the audi
enee. All this was news to him, and very graf
flying. He was entirely ignorant of our mnsi-
cal doings and besides, even here in Germany
he secludes himself entirely. He seems to live
in and with himself Raft played for me DUR
ing the afternoon. He is not by any manner
of means perfect pianist, but he plays with
the utmost delicacy and feeling, and then again
with immense breadth and passion. l must
say was surprised, as 1 did not give him cred

THE FATAE ACCIDENT AT BRYANT's POND
The Oxford Register gives the following &C.
count of the accident at Bryants Pond on
Thursday, by which David Robbins was killed
and Gaines Swan was manned for life:
The trackmen at Bryant's Pond as usual
took their hand car at 6 o'clock and were pro-
ceeding over the road towards Lockes Mills;
after making some slight repairs short dis
lance from the station, and about one and a
quarter miles further on round sharp curve,
they saw within thirty feet of their hand car
an express engine going at the rate Of thirty
or thirty five miles an hour Three of the five
men jumped off; David Robbins and Gains
Swan could not escape and were caught by the
engine. Robbins was fearfully mangled and
instantly killed. Swan was seriously injured,
but not considered fatally hurt.
II the facts stated above are correct the
Grand Trunk Railway Company are guilty of
murder and should be presented TO the grand
jury of Oxford county for indictment for MUIR
der. The coroner's Jury returned a verdict ex-
onerating the company from all blame, but the
various reports are IN harmony with the above
statement. The agent of a company who will
send out special engine or train without Civ
ing notice by telegraph to the men along the
line, should be held responsible for the result
of his care1essness
