WAR CLAIMs.-In the Court of
Claims one Knabe sued for 81 1000,
that being the proceeds of the sale of
his property in West Virginia which
was confiscated during the war, he be-
ing q rebel. He claimed that the
Presidential pardon reinstated him in
all his rights Of property, and conse-
quently he was entitled to the above
sum. Judge Loring delivered his
opinion of the Court, adverse to the
claim, as Congress expressly has pro-
vided that no money shall be drawn
from the public Treasury, except by
an appropriation made by law; con-
sequently the President is positively
excluded from any control Of the Ma.
tional property. The power vested
in the President to pardon crimes
does not authorize him to restore for
feited property, and the proclamation
of December, 1868, under which the
claimant was pardoned, does not re-
store confsicated property. The pc
tition was dismissed.
