SOUTHERN CLAIMS CoMaIFssIoN.-Slnc the
publication of the act of May IL. 1872, which
requires the testimony in support OF all claims
exceeding $4,000 in amount to be taken O.
rally before the commission, many claimants
who have claims already on file above the
limited sum have ex pressed desire to reduce
their accounts to avoid the expence and troub,
lie of producing their witnesses before the COM
missoners at Washington. In such cases tho
commissioners hold that the reduction must be
effected by means of an amended account of
items, accompanied by an expressrenunclatlon
of the excess of SO 600 in the original sworn
account, to be duly slgued and verified by the
claimants before they can be justified, under
the law, in permitting the testimony to be
taken by special commission outside of
