a LOYAL" CLAIMANT-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says
''The Southern Claims Commission yesterday
heard the cases of Abraham, Annie and AIDE
line Sommers, of Alexandria county, Va, for
1927 so, and those of Annie NJ. and Fannie
V. johnson, of the same county, for property
destroyed valued at $685.. Hon. Montgomery
Blair testified to the loyalty, during the war, of
Abraham Sommers. The commission also
heard the claim of Michael Graham, of Shcn-
audoah county, Va, for 1924. 1t appears
from the evidence that Graham was a contrac-
tor on the Manassas railroad, and that General
Banks army captured all of his horses, carts,
working utensils, &C. Graham then applied
to Gen. Banks, and was employed by him as a
scout. He also held similar commission from
the Confederate government, but testified that
although he gave certain information to that
government he remained truly loil' to the
federal government. He had authority from
the former to collect horses for the use OF the
army, and he gave orders on the Confederate
government to the owners of them for their
pay, and then, in each case, be says, he turned
the horses and cattle over to Gen. Banks. He
also related numbers of other services which he
performed, and was then considerably surprised
when the commissioners produced from the
rebel archives" proof that he was rebel
bondholder.

The Charleston, West Virginia. Courier says
that the James River and kanawha Canal
antc-dates the revolution. The canal was first
commenced along the bank Of the James river,
to pass the falls at Richmond. During the
war, work upon it was abandoned. After the
establishment of the United States, the enter
prise was resumed by private company. The
State soon assumed the construction of this
work, and enlarged and extended it with pur-
pose Of forming line Of transportation, partly
by water aud partly by land, from the Chesa-
peake to the Ohio The idea then was to es
tablish navigation along the James to the
Blue Ridge, partly by an artificial channel, but
chiefly by river and across the mountains by a
road to the KaDawha.
