r From the New Orleans Pieayune, Nov. 80
The racing season Of 1873 has been
the most successful that has ever been
recorded IN the annals of the american
t,1rf. The Louisiana Jockey Club was
the first to throw open its gates Tor the
opening of the campaign. The meet
ing far exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the officers OF the club,
and established the fact, that the peo-
pIe of New Orleans viii contribute more
to support racing than any other com
munity under the sun, Of like pOpula-
ton. So after a summer campaign
North. the wanderers have returned,
and are here ready to do battle for the
closing scene, and the honOrs OF the
turf of 1878. There viii be sew
eral horses shown during our
races that won distinction all
over the country The most noted,
probably is Wanderer, who won the
Westchester and Monmouth cups.
After capturing the last event he was
booked to win the Saratoga cup; but as
the saying has it, The best LAID plans
of mice and men gang aft aSles. be-
fore the race came off there WIS much
speculation indulged IN, and Wanderer
was made the favorite against the field,
and it was very strong; for 1t number
ed Joe Daniels, Harry Bassett and
| True Blue. The day was anything
but favorable for racing, terrific
storm set in and deluged the track.
Joe Daniels won the race, with his sta
BILE companion, Harry Bassett, second.
and True Blue third. The poor Wan
| derer, as he was called, had struck his
fac. and was now despised by those who
had been most loud IN sounding his
praises. 1t was evident that the horse
was not at himself, for nc suffered de
feat al the hands Of third-fate horse
In 3 ing these comments about this
horse it is with the view of posting our
Young speculatOrs, for when Wanderer
starts, the horse that beats hIm viii

There are number OF other good
horses quartered at the. louisiana

pear in club purse races are fforiRe,
| Cape Race, Silent Friend, Fannie M,
Sailie Watson, B. F. Carver, Nashville.
Jack Frost, Falmouth, Western Star,
Edwin Adams, Nellie B., Port Leonard
and about fifty horses with goodreputa-
tions. So it viii be seen at a. glance
that we viii have large fields IN all the
races. The two year old egent will be
full of interest, as it win bring out the
untried colts for tae future honors Of
the turf. The races commence next
Saturday, Dec. s, and it IS the inten.
ton of the officers Of the Louisiana
Jockey Club TO make this the. greatest
winter meeting that has ever taken

This benefcent measure was followed by

Your careful attention is invited to the
subject of claims against the government,
and the facilities afforded by the existing
laws for their prosecution. Each Of the de-
partments of State, the treasury and war,
have demands for many millions OF dollars
upon their files, and they are rapidly ac-
cilmulating. To these may be added those
now pending before Congress, the Court OF
Claims, and the Southern Claims COmmls-
sion, making the aggregate an immense
sum. Most of these grew out CT the rebel
lion. and intended to indemnify citizens on
both sides for their losses during the war,
and not few of them are fabricated, and
supported by false testimony. Projects are
on foot, if is believed to induce Congress to
provide for new classes of claims, and to re-
vive old ones through the repeal or modltl-
cation OF the statute Of limitation by
which they are now bar.
red, e. l presume these schemes If
proposed will be received with lite favor
by Congress, and 1 recommend that persons
having claims against the United States
cognizable by any tribunal or department
thereof, be required to present them at an
early dat, and the legislation be directed as
far as practicable TO the defeat of un-
founded and unjust demands upon the
| Government, and l would suggest as q
means of preventing fraud, that the wit
nesses be called upon to appear in person
to testify before those tribunals having saId
claims before them for adjudication
Probably the largest saving to the national
Government can be secured by timely leg
isIation onthese subjects, of any of the econ
omical measures that will be proposed.

During the past year the Navy has been
reduced by the sale of some vessels nolonS-
er fit for naval purposes, and by the con-
demnation of others not yet disposed OF.
This, however, has been more than COM
pensated for by the repair OF six OF the
old wooden ships aud by the building OF
eight new sloops-of-war authorized by the
last Congress. The building of these lat
ter has occurred at doubly favorable time.
They are about being completed, when
they will possibly be much needed, and
the work upon them has not only gwen
employment to thousands OF men, but has
no doubt been the means OF keeping open
the establishments for other works at a time
of great financial distress.
Since the commencement OF last month
however, the distressing occurrences which
have taken place in the Caribbean sea, al
most on our very seaboard, while they IL
lustrate most forcible the necessity always
existing. that a nation situated as ours,
should maintain in state of efficiency a

| the same time demanded that all the effect

The receipts of the Government from all
sources for the fiscal year were 1858, ,73S,
204, the expenditures on all accounts $500,
245, 5,250, thus showing an excess of receipts
over expenditures of $43, 1892, $50. But it is
not probable that this favorable exhibit will
be shown for the present fiscal year. Indeed
it is very doubtful whether, except with
great economy on the part of Congress in
making appropriations, and the same
economy in the Administration i'll
administering the various depart
ments of Government, the revenues will
not fall short of meeting the annual expen-
ses including interest on public debt. L
commend to Congress such economy, and
