Over 200 claims have been presented, covering

Fifteen million dollars of the cotton fund now
remains in the Treasury. The claims being
paid are for cotton seized by the government
agents after the 30th of June, 1865. The act of
May 18th, 1872, provided that all these claims
should be filed within six months, and therefore
expired on the 18th of November last. Quite a
large number Of claims have been filed since
the expiration OF the law, and they must be
thrown out, as ali efforts TO have Congress ex-

Mr.. Colfax has just made another sup.
plement to his twice amended defense,
and on this new one his counsel takes on
his own shoulders The responsibility of the
suppression of the important fact that
Nesbit, (who. by the way, was Govern
meut contractor for stamped envelopes
had sent hlHi two thousand in drafts,
open and above-board, before he had
sent this $1,000 note secretly, so that his
left hand might not know what his right
hand was doing. No explanation will
reconcile the last discovery with the pre-
vious explanation, and in the popular
mind Judgment Is pronounced against
Collax, and is none the less strong be
cause it is pronounced more in sorrow than
In anger.

Obituary.



The sudden death of Antonio F. Dos
Santos, on Saturday evening, has been
briefly mentioned IN this paper. Mr.. Dos
Santos was one of the Oldest and most
respected members of the musical prof s.
sion IN Philadelphia for, though for sew
eral years he has made his home In Will
mington, his professional duties were all
in this city. He was native of the
island OF Madeira, hut was exiled from
there after certain political troubles that
disturbed Portugal and its colonies.
Mr.. Dos Santos was born in the year
lsla, his age at his death being g. Com
Ing to Philadelphia about forty-flye years
ago, he soon took high position in the
musical circles of which barley, Stand
bridge, Meignen and other gifled and re-
spected men were members. He became
an organist, and had engagements at 81.
Joseph's, St. Augustlne's and Trinity
churches. But about twenty-five years
ago he was chosen organist at ST. Mays,
where he OBLIGATED most acceptably up to
the very day Of his death lie wrote a
mass and several anthems, which are very
ofedtahle compositions. He first brought
out In this city Hummel's celebrated Mass.
ana he has always worked with zeal for
the Improvement of the musical part OF
the service In his church. But lie was
very modest and retiring, and only those
most Intimately associated with him knew
OF his many virtues and endearng quail
ties. Mr. Dos Santos leaves widow and
several children, one daughter being tho

A bill providing for the appointment Of
water commissioners for this city was
introduced by q gentleman from New
Castle hundred in the Senate Thursday,
and the question of It's passage will be
settled by a number of those who have
even less knowledge Of or interest In our
city than DR.. Leslie.
Wilmington, 1t will be remembered has
not a single representative in the body,
and that may be the reason that Messrs.
Quinn and McIntire and others of that
ilk introduce such bills there. The people
Of this city have too little voice 10 their
own government now, and they Will rot
tolerate any attempt to have their NUM-
clpal affairs alao regulated at Dover. We
want no Police Commissioners, Water
Commissioners nor any other kind of com
missions, and we want them all the les
since they would have to be appointed b,
a body in which Wilmington is PRACTICAL!

Wethnk any one who reads the editorial
from the SUSSEX Journal, whose editor, as
clerk of House, participated in the recent
legislative visit to our city, will not fail TO
see that such visits have an excellent effect
The coming banquet at the new hotel could
doubtless do something else in this dlree-
tlOn,and if after while some grand fair, or
other demonstration could but bring great
numbers Of people here, the feeling to-
ward Wilmington In the lower part OF
the State would be completely revolu-
tl0nized nor is that all, If more Of the
people ofthis city had actually experienced
the generous warm-hearted hospitality Of
the people of Sussex and Kent, there
would be a different estimate here of the
people of those counties. 1t Is singular
That the people Of so small a State should
be such strangers to each other.

The bank where Mr.. Colfax kept bis
accounts has receEtly been visited by the
investigating committee and the record of
two drafts from Mr.. Nlsblt to Mr.. Colfax,
bot OF them being deposited before the
deposit of the $1,000 on Jdly %, which
Mr.. CollsX explained by the statement
that he had received $1,000 as a present
from Mr.. Ngsbit in 1900 greenbaek by
mail. The Washington correspondent Of
the New YORK Tribane says;
While it looked little unusual for a
business man of Mr. Nesbtt's experience
and sagacitv to send 1900 bill by mail
to high official without letting his clerks,
partner, banker, or some friend know Of
1t, and while it was regarded as still more
remarkable that statesman of Mr.. Col
iax's standiu. would accept present from
business man haviug dealings with tue
Government, yet in the face of all this,
there were many who regarded the Vice
President rs gu,ltIess of deliberate false
hood rs Of bribery, Notwithstanding the
absence Of both the letter Of transmittal
aud the letter OF aeknoWl edgmeut.

to the committee that 81 200 was paid, and

appears that 10 April, three months pre-.
yious, be received 81 ,O00 from Mr.. Nesbit,
in check Or draft, and that on July 10Th
or in less than three weeks after the al
legged receipt by Mr.. Colfax of $1,000 II
money 10y letter, he received another checl
for s 900 from Mr. Nesbt.
Tnis shows, If Mr.. CO.faxs' 81 900 bill
story is believed, that he received fron
this contractor, who was very LARGELY en-
gagged in supplying stationary to the Gov
elnment, aud who was an almost tOta
stranger, In three months time the sum 0
$4,000, or 81 ,0Oe a month.
1t also shows that Mr.. Nesbitt sent

ak President Grant to visit her. We fai,
TO see why, but even If such an invitation
had been presumptuou- under any ordinary
circumstances, there could have been none
in this case, from The simple fact that The
President had accepted a private invita-

vsited Dover and advocated, in the IInase
of kepres entatiyes, before the members of
both Houses OF the Legislature, the propo-
sltion to remove the County buildings from
New Castle to Wilmington.
Senator Leslie called the meeting to
oldrr, and introduced Senator Bayard,
Mr.. Bayard said the question he was
to advocate was an old one-that Of pub
lie convenience. II was no party measure,
bu, the most bitter partisaus we're working
together for the removal of the county
buildings from New Castle to Wilmington.
and therefore he hoped the proposition he
was advocating would be enacted into a
law during the present session of tho
Legislature. The centre of population.
lie said, was tie centre of business, and
This was another strong argument on his
side. The reasons for establishing ths
County scat AZ New Castle were good. for
In that day life and properly were not
secure Ia any part Of the county except
~ luut pace,
But the reasons for keeping them in
that town are now as insufficient MS they
were then good. In regard to the cost OF
removal, lac snid Wilmington would bear
at least iour'llfIhs of the expense, and was
of opinion that the interest on the cost OF
the whole amount Of money expended
would be saved to the people in being
| relieved to a certain extent from legal
charges IN very short lime.

ollu~ed in few remarks, az did alsl Mr.

u'ging HE removal and proving thl
necessity for permission to do so.

We had hoped the time had gone by for

growth and welfare of our city were to be
strsngled or crippled by the votes of Coun-
cihnen, yet just such action was taken last
night by Messrs. Beggs, Gilbert, Huesled,
Lynch, Mention, McDo veil, McIutire,
Quinn and Underwood, in defeating the
ordnance vacating Fifth street below the
railroad, as asked for by the Mccullough
Iron Company.
The circumstances are just as ollowe

to erect extensive new iron works, after
careful examination, decided on this city
ss their site. 1t accordingly purchased
the extensive properties formerly occupied
a. Kirkman's, and A. J. Barretps ship
yards, and prepared to begin the
erection Of buildings there in the spring.

are that it will never be opened, still tn,
city would have the right TO open it ON tho

open the street. This reasonable request
the granting OF which could have done nj
harm, the Councilnen named refused l.

a free wharf, on street so narrow tho
the smallest sloop could not lay across it
foot without encroaching On the neigl
