COTTON CLAIMS.
The statements in the recent dispatches from
this city relative to VIM. E. Chambers connection
with cotton cases. turn out to be entirely incor-
eiSimsnts IN aDy cotton cases. At the time Of his
retirement from the Treasury Department as As
sistant Secretary, in November, 1858, 1t was un-
otherwise against the Government in relation to
cotton claims, either in the Treasury Department
or before the Court Of Claims. This understand
ing was voluntary on his part, was unaceompa-
MED by any retainer or employment as counsel
for the Government in such cases, and has not At
any time since been ySiatsa y num- siSnsr al
on account Of an application to employ MT.
Chandler on behalf fine Savannah cotton claim
ants, which would have been very lucrative, and
Secretary MeCulloch stated that Mr.. Chandler's
decision not to act in those or any such cases, In
view Of his connection with this class OF claims
while in the Department, was very honorable to
him.
THE MARINE CORPS.
1t appears that the very general assault on the
Marine corps in the press has been inspired to a
certain extent by personal jealousies. 1t is the
opinion Of those well informed regarding the sub
ject that as regards the pay department Of that
CORDS for example, the duties are conscentiously
performed and that in other respects the records
show that its affairs are carefully and ecOnomi-
cally administered. No design desire is enter
tanned at the Navy Department, OF, so far as can
be ascertaine ed in Congress, for the abolition oil
the CORPS and the efforts to secure that end are
| readily traceable to motives which are, to say
| the least, disereditable.

The Edgar Stuart


THE CUBAN BLOCKADE RUNNER READY FOR
sEA-KUMoRKD INTENTIONS OF HER MAN
AYERS.
A Baltimore dispatch to the New York Tri-
bune saws The arrival in this city OF General
FRANCISCO Aguilero, vice president of the Gu
ban republic, and his aide-de-camp, Col. Pa
checo, attracts considerable public attention
to- night Tuesday TO the Cuban gunboat Edgar
stuart, which has been undergoing repairs al a
baltimore ship yard for the last two months
Inc suspected vessel now lies at the foot OF
Ann street. She was thoroughly overhauled
while on the ways at a cost Of $1,000 and is
now IN complete order and ready for sea. The
vessel Is small two-masted steamer, built for
pleasure yacht, deep and narrow, and ca
pabe, II Is said Of attaining a very high rate OF
speed with her two new and powerful engines
She has been engaged since the commencement
OF the revolution In running the Spanish bleck-
ade 10 Cuba, having succeeded in landing sew
enteen expeditions and cargoes OF munitions
and war material on the shores Of that island
She bears at present on her iron rudder the
MARKS OF SHELL FIRED AT HER
on one OF her ventures by Spanish frigate.
Col. Melcher Aguero, noted friend of Cuba
now has charge OF the vessel. In conversation,
to-day, he did not deny that the vessel was yir-
tuall owned by the Cuban Junta. but said She
would not again violate the neutrality laws as
she would be sold, since the money was needed
to purchase larger vessel which the Junta had
IN view There was no difficulty, he said in
getting men as volunteers 10 I'LL a vessel of anv
size. Notwithstanding the peaceful protesta-
tons of her commander, the vessel has a de-
cldedly warlike appearance. Over her rails
hang boards bearing the ominous words "No
admittance." Nenturing on board, however.
in spite of this sign, two brass -pouneers were
found mounted at her stern. These were the
only guns visible. The explanation given for
the mounting of these guns is that they will be
OF SERVICE IN SHOOTING SHARKS,
ana one OF her officers jocuarly remarked to-
night, "They'll make good deal of noise vet"
Colonel Aguero states that the Edgar Stuart
Will make trip down the bay in a day or two.
IN TINS assertion he was doubtless counting
without his host, for Collector Booth said to-
day that he had an officer watching the vessel
and she would not be allowed 70 leave this port
until every doubt in his mind had been re-
moved with regard TO her destination and pur-
poses. 1t is announced that V ice President
Aguilero will remain in this city few days
and will then go 70 Cuba and enter upon the
active and hazardous duties of his office II is
rumored that he will attempt TO 90 i'm the
Stuart, and appearances point strongly that
way
