The reports aud papers in the 2 200 Claims
just reported as allowed or rejected by the
above Commissioners have been removed to
the room Of the Committee Of Claims, in the
basement story OF the House wing Of the Cap
itol. The Committee room, is to DO kept open
from ten to three o'clnck, daily, to afford ac-
cess to the papers by claimants, their attor-
neys, or other deputlzed persons.
1t is probable that supplementary report
embracing such OF the earliest and most me-
ritorious claims as should not be gotten into
the late report f vast Of t!ine, will be sent
to Congress by the commissioners in season
to have the awards Included ia the appropri-
alton bill to be reported by the claims CON-
mittee during the present session.
Should an appropriation TO pay the clai,ns
be made during this session, she papers be-
longing to the allowed claims will 20 to the
treasury department and DO placed in the
charge Of the third auditor, by whom the f.
nal settlement is to be uads. Payment is
made by treasury draft, current everywhere
but payable Only to the claimants order
Owips to Ike large number of claims and the
necessary delay IL passing The appropriation
bill, payment will hardly begin before the
latter part OF next summer, as some of the
rejected claims will probably be reopencd for
causes. 1t is expected that, after exa,nina-
ton by the Chains committee, the papers will

On the subject of reopening the rejected
claims, the commissioners are disposed to be
rigid, alleging that they have ever Impressed
upon claimants and attorneys the pect ssity
of producing their best proof Of ali their proof
at once. That the method of conducting
examinations before then selves and their
sub commissioners in tie South are free Of
technicalites, and intended to give fair o.
portunity for developing facts and circum-
stances, and that they cannot neglect their
unfinished business iG favor CT rejected claims
without good causes, clearly shown. They
will therefore require in every case to be re-
RECONSTRUCTED petition to be filed applying
for rehearing aud signed and sworn to By
the claimant. The petition must set forth
fully and specially what is erroneous in tho
report or award of the commissioners, what
facts are rolled upon to show that the smount
is erroneous, what witnesses are to prove the
alleged facts, aud where they severaiy resi- 10
and why the proposed new evidence was not
produced at the original examination. The
affidavit Of each witness named in the nett
ton for reopening The case must accompany
the petition covering all the matters imputed
10 the witnesses in such petition.
