Cotton CIEims-Decis5On of the Secretary
of :he Treasury that Cases Received
After November is, 1872, Will Not be
Enter:aiDed-CODgres Will Probably
Extend the Time-The Rescued from
the POlaris.
WAsHINGToy, June 6-The law directing
the Secretary ot the Treasury to pay the
net proceeds of cotton unlawfully seized
after June 30 1865, was approved May IS,
1872, and required that all petitions should
be filed within six months thereafter, or Oh
or before November Is, 1872.
Many petitions which had been duly
signed, sworn to and placed in the mail be-
fore November 18, did not reach Washing
ton until after that date. They were, how
ever, sent to the Secretary Of the Treasury,
and received at Of the date when received.
In reply to an inquiry and argument of the
government involved, whether in two i'm
portant cases SO pleaded the petitions would
be regarded as filed in time, the Secretary
has decided in the negative.
1t is the opinion of the best informed
lawyers here that the time for filing peti-
tons, both in cotton cases before the Secre-
tary and for stores and supplies before the
commissioners of Southern claims, will un.
doubtedly be extended by the next Con.
gress. The above decision furnishes a
strong argument in favor Of such extension
in cotton eases, as the six months given by
the statute was manifestly too short time
to enable Southern claimants, exercising
all diligence and dispatch, to file their pc
titions.
1t is to be observed that the Southern
claims commission did receive petitions
which reached them after March 5, 1873.
provided they had been mailed. signed and
sworn before that date. Whenever the
time for filing petitions before them ex
pred, their decisions are not final, but
are reported to Congress. The Secretary
being authorized TO pay money on his own
decision, has decided 10 fDOw the more
rigid construction of the statute. His de-
cisIon is not adverse to the interests of the
cotton claimants, since it will involve and
almost compel the further legislation which
will be sought.
The President is absent.
The Polaris people rescued by the "Frolic"
