The Washington Chronicle says 1.-The
Southern Claim Commission has published the
third and fourth lists Of persons who have al
legged under oath that they were oyal adherents
of the U. S. Government during the war, and
that their property was taken for the use and
benefit of the Union armies. These lists are
designed, for wide circulation in the South,
and they are sent free of charge to all who ap-
ply for them. Much information of conf
dental character concerning the war status of
many of the present loyal claimants has al
ready been received from neighbors who
though in some cases disloyal themselves, do
not desire to be taxed hereafter to pay for
property either not taken by the l. S. at all
or which would have been far more willingly
applied to the support Of the Confederate
armies.

The Philadelphia North American says
"a curious exemplifcatiou of the tendency OF
the Chinese to huddlc in narrow and crowded
places,is shown in what is known as the Chinese
quarter of San Francisco This is composed OF
houses built by Americans, and the regular plan
of the city makes the main streets wide and
spacious But the Chinese get into all the mar,
row alleys and courts running off from the main
highways, and there they open shops, build
temples and reduce the width Of the passage
by projecting balconies and all other sorts Of
obstruction. In these little passages, the Chinese
swarm" Perhaps it is the force Of association
and habit.

The Richmond Enquirer thinks that what
We want, especially, is, 'that our people should
cultivate the virtue of patience, and be content
to rise gradually out of the slough Of their
difficulties. Let US go to work earnestly our
selves. put our own shoulders to the wheel,
practice economy, use diligent industry, devel-
Oh spirit Of native enterprise, pay our debts
gradually but heroicaly, cease croaking. learn to
be happy for the present on little, and look
hopefully to the future for an increase. Less
talk and more work, in word, is what we
need" We think that, generally speaking our
people have shown very commendable degree
of patience, and have very manfully exerted
themselves to better their condition.

Judge Bedford; in New York. yesterday in
structed the Grand Jury that gigantic con-
spiracy for the locking up of millions of gold,
existed on Wall street, and desired that the
culprits be brought to justice Forscveral days
past there has been an alarm on account Of the
small amount of gold on the market, the banks
having on Thursday but sl0,700,10o giving
even more favorable opportunity for specu,
lators to produce panic than they had on the
memorable Black Friday, September, 1869. 1t

It's remarked by the Washington Star that
beyond ascertaining the exact amount o.
money the treasury will lose by the defalcatior
of Paymaster Hodge, the question which most
concerns the tax paying public is how L de
6ciency of half million dollars in the cash of 6
disbursing officer can be carried along anC
covered up for several years without the fac
becoming known to the accounting officers Of
the government? That is certainly, very
important question.

It is stated in the New York Post that the
Fall trade has opened in New York with an
activity which has had no parallel since the
years 1865 and 1866, especially the Dry Good:
trade. A difficulty exists in procuring suitable
foreign goods. Manufacturers, both in Eng
land and on the Continent, arc under engage
ments for from six to twelve weeks ahead, and
in some instances, both in Switzerland and
Alsace, scramble is made by buyers for such
desirable lots as may be found ready for the
market

Horace Greeley, in his letter on the 'Une
Term Principle" writes as follows I'VE shall
yet achieve civil service reform; my, we must.
Office seeking is our national vice, divesting
our workshops of apprentices, and our farms of
intelligent, energetic, aspiring youth. But
vainly shall we hope for such reform through
the looping off of branches while the root of
the upas remains intact and vital. The root is
the reelection in office of President, Governor
and other dispensers Of patronage with then
consequent temptation to Use that patronage
in aid of their own continuance in power.

The Philadelphia Record, speaking Of the
corruption in the large cities, says, ''that the

agement of public affairs, it is absurd to expect
either integrity or economy in the administra-
ton of them"

DECIsIoN.-During the term Of Judge
Rives' court held in Danyille last weeS, he deci-
ded, for the first time since he had been on
the bench, the question Of Bankrupt's right
to claim and have set apart to him an amount
not exceeding $500, from the proceeds of the
sale of encountered real estate Judge Under
wood has heretofore ruled that Bankrupt is
entitled to Federal exemption of $500 abso-
lute!y. and if he has no other estate than en-
numbered reality, that his exemption should
lie made up from the proceeds Of the sale of
his land even though he had long before his
bankruptcy, conveyed it in trust, or judgment
liens had been acquired by his creditors for
double its value. Judge Rives in delivering
his opinion stated that he found no difficulty
whatever in deciding that the law warranted
no such authority to the court, and that he
could not grant such an exemption.
