the dlhcuIty IN procuring proofs. The
United STATES having proposed the mode Of
settling claims of citizens of the limited
States growing out Of the rebellion with
Cuba, there can be no difficulty IN this
point; but there are other questions. inelud-
ing that pertaining to DIR. Howard. which
may cause further irritation, and give oe-
casiOn for more determined policy toward
Spain.
The Court of Claims yesterday decided
sixteen cases, aggregating awards which
amount to S353,739. Two OF these cases
had been appealed to the Supreme Court,
but the decision being overruled, they we're
sent back, and judgment rendered in puF-
suance of the opinion of the higher court.
One of them was the Carroll case, invOlv-
ing over $93. 1000, and the other $23, 900.
From the decision of the Supreme Court,
it is inferred that the act, at the time Of the
seizure of cotton, is a controlling element
to determine the disposition of the property,
and the statute is to be thus construed
namely: Where the property was captured
during the lifetime of the decedent, then
the evidence of his loyalty is sufficient to
maintain the action; but where the seizure
was after administration, then the loyalty
of decedent is immaterial, and the right to
maintain an action depends upon the 10y
atty of the administrator.
Numerous members of Congress express
the opinion that no tariff bill will be passed
the present session, but that the internal
revenue laws will be changed so as to retain
taxes only on spirituous, fermented and
malt liquors, banks and tobacco. They
also say the prospect is that Congress Will
adjourn on the twenty y-ninth of May.
Among the items in the miscellaneous ap-
preparation bill reported to the House to-
day there are 100000 for the New Orleans
CustomhOuse, and 100000 for courts and
expenses on the enforcement act. The ap-
preparation involves over 81, 100000. This
is the last appropriation bill.
The Senate Committee on Commerce re-
port the House steamboat bill with amend
meHts, restoring the old law regarding the
inspection of boiler iron, and striking out
many items of the House bill against which
steambOatmen have protested.

THE CITY HALL.

A white hat, which has seen some service,
but is immense in its proportions, has been
sent to Mayor Flanders, so that he may ex-
claim for Greeley.
A schooner from Lake POntchartrain
landed load of wood at the City Park
The vessel came up the Bayou St John and
through the canal on Taylor avenue to that
leading into the park.
The returns of personal property are
reaching the Department of Assessments
quite briskly, and the ladies especially seem
unusually promptin reporting their taxable
property.
The City Hall was yesterday morning
visited by the Mayor of Natchez, who is
here on a short business trip.
Administrator Shaw states that the tax
payers this year have been even more
prompt than in 1871, and that ninety cents
on the dollar of the whole tax has already
been paid in.
Mayor Flanders has received a letter
from Lowell, Massachusetts,, as follows:
Please excuse the liberty of my writing
these few lines. / am French bricklayer,
recently arrived from France, forty years
old, with wife and child Ia girl three years
old). Not speaking English, we are pre-
vented from engaging in business here.
If, as we are told, New Orleans contains
more than One-half French population, and
they on an average earn S. per day, it
would suit us exactly; but having no money
to get there, would you be good enough to
send us some, or two transportation tickets
by mail. l shall reimburse the same as
soon as l shall work month, and you will
not regret it, My wife can do the washing
or cooking of the family, as she is very ca
pable.

An Experiment with Paper Car
Wheels.

The Springfield Republican says the
Connecticut River Railroad Company Is
about introducing, Tor trial, set OF paper
car wheels under tue forward truck of one
OF It's engines. These wheels have been
known 70 car builders IOr some time, but
the demand for them has been more mod
crate on account Of their cost, nOLwith-
standing the universally admitted lnct
that they are safe and eAsy going. The
wheels are manufactured by bringing n
pressure OF $50 tons upon sheets If com.
mon straw paper, which forces then inIO
compact mass, which is then turned ler-
iectly round ana the hub forced inLJA d hoIs
in the centre, this requiring Il prtssnfu uf
% tons weight. The tire Is Oi Steel and
llas a one quarter inch bevel upon It's in.
ner edge, thus allowing the paper telling
10 be forced in, $50 tons pressure being
required in the process. Two iron plates,
one upon each side OF the paper, are bOlteG
together, which prevents the possibility or
the filings coming out The tire rests
upon the paper only and partakes Of It's
elasticity in consequence. Although these
wheels are much more expensive than
those in common use, the paientee claims
that they are cheaper in the end, as they
wear longer, iDjure the tracks less, and
run with less noise than wheels Of any
other pattern.
