COURT OF CLAIMS.
Important Cotton and other Cases
Settled.

WASHINGTON, May 2G.-TheC Court
Of Claims rendered the following
judgments OF cotton seized by Gen.
eral Sherman's forces at the time Of
the capture of Savannah, aud sold
by the United States In favor OF
William Battersby, aud the execu.
tors OF Thomas Metcalf, for $780,,
242, being the largest single iudg>
ment ever rendered by the Court OF
Claims. Battersby is IN alien sub
ject Of Great Britain, who has resid-
ed fc. thirty years in Savannah.
The cotton claim Of Vim. ;. Mills,
. another British subject, was di'mis.
sed on the ground that the cotton
for which he sued was purchased by
him outside o, the Union lines, aud
in violation of regulations then in
force. Judgment was rendered for
sl55,jji IN favor OF Charles Greene
OF Savannah, a subject OF Great Bri.
tain. The main question in the
cases was, whether an alien domicll>
cd during the rebellion within the
insurrectionary States, could be
guilty of the crime Of treason against
the United States. The Court VI
Claims, following the decision of the
United States Supreme Court at the
last term, decided this question az,
frmatively, but also holds under
the same decision, that an alien
guilty of treason by failing 10 oh,
serve their obligations OF qualified
allegiance, were included in and
pardoued by the Presidents amnesty
proclamation OF December 25th,
1868. A decision was rendered in
the long pending case OF Eliza j.
Atochu, deceased. Atocha was n
native Of Spain, but n naturalized
citizen Of the United States, who did
business for a banker in the city OF
Mexico, and was expelled rom that
country during the revolution Of
1916, which overthrow the govern
meo. Of Santa Anna. The United
States having, by treaty OF Guadal.
oupe Hidalgo, asshmed the claims
Of lie own citizens against Mexico,
Afocha presented his claim for losses
caused by his expulsion, and Il was
rejected BY the commission appoint.
Cd 10 examine snch claims. Subse-
qnently, in 1885, Congress referred
the clsim to this court, which now
renders Judgment In favor Of Atocha
against the United States for $780,
459, being the balance Of three aud
= quarter millions provided by the
treaty Of the Guadsloups Hidslgo

The Sennbs, Credit Mobilier Com

The Senabs Credit Mobilier Com
mittee made their report last Friday.
In the case of Henry Wilson, tbs SON.
mituse' find that the investment was
M"de' with his wifes money and that
she received all the benefit accruiBg
therefrom. They do not believe that
he (Wilson) was affected by the trans
action, but they feel constrained to adj
vert in this connection to the fact that
on the 18th day of September last Mr..
Wilson authorized to be sent to the
public press of New York a dispatch
which in effect is regarded as an I'M
qualified denial that he had ever OBJ
tanned fOm Cakes Ames or any other
pssson the slightest interest in the
Credit Mobilier, and TO remark that
the dispatch was calculated to convey
to the public an erroneous impression.
The evidence. relating to Senator
Fsarlan, according tothe report, shows
that IN 1865 Mr.. Durant contributed
$4,000 to secure the election of Mr..
HARLAN to the Senate of the United
STATES, he being at the time of its re-
ceipt the Secretary of the Interior
waich they say, "discloses an evil up
on which the committee cannot too
severely animadvert. The use of
large sums of money to influence
either popular or legislative electors,
strikes directly at the fundamental
principles Of Republican Govern
ment."
They find in the case of Senator
Patterson that he gave q false ac-
count of the transactions between
himself and Mr. Ames, suppressed
MATERIAL facts and denied the exist
ence of other material facts which
must have been known to him. The
report concludes as follows:
The committee have reached a con-
elasion after the most attentive con-
sideration and anxious deliberation,
which they would fain wish were
otherwise, but with sense of duty
which compels them to declare and
submit the following resolution:
Resolved, That James w. Patter-
son be and he is hereby expelled
from his seat as a member of the Sem
ate.

FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.-The six.
story brick building on Hanover and
Blackstone street, Boston, partly &C.
cupied by Geo. A. Sammet, manufac.
turer of mattresses and bedding, was
on the 9th discovered to be on fire
in the third story. A great quantity
of infammable material was stored
In the building, and but a few minutes
elapsed before the entire upper por-
tion of the structure was wrapped in
flames. The stairways served as fues
to conduct the fire to the stories above.
where a number of girls were work
ing, three OF whom persisted in the
flames, the others making their escape
on the roof.
While the engines were playing on
the flre and many brave men were
working on. the walls. on Hanover
street, the upper part of the wall
swayed, tottered, and then fell out
ward. There was no time to escape
the ladders with their living occu-
pants were pushed outward, poised an
instant in perpendicular position,
and then the wall came laundering
down on them, killing three out
right, and wounding some fifteen OF
twenty, some. Of whom have since
died.

SENATOR PATTERsoN's CAsE-There
was an informal discussion in the
Senate Sunday morning on the unfn-
bhed business, when Mr.. Morrill, of
Maine remarked that he should feel it
bis duty to press vote on the reso-
hutton for the expulsion of Mr.. Patter-
son. Mr.. Hamlin hoped that Mr..
Patterson would be heard in self-de-
fence, and Mr.. Trumbull said that it
was matter which should not be
taken up unless every Senator could
first read the evidence, to be able to
sit in judgement understandingly.
Mr.. Patterson was at the Capitol ask
ing Senators to consider his case,
expressing his confidence tLat the
resolution of expulsion could receive
but few votes. 1t is not, however,
probable that there will be any action
In the case.
