The Committee on Claims, at the last meeting ef
the City Council, reported adversely on the petit
ton Of F. Lyford, Esq, for relief from excessive
assessment two or three years ago. We under
stand the committee conceded that Mr.. Lyford
had been excessively and uniustly assessed for the
year in question: but concluded that the city could
not refund the money to Mr.. Lyfcrd without the
great embarrassment of opening q multitude of
cases Of like character but wherein little or no
equity would be on the side of the petitioners In
Mr.. Lyford's case the equity seemed to be all on
his side, and law and expediency on the side of
the city.

{ WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Alabama
Claims Court have just decided that for
eigners whether naturalized or not are
entitled to the protection of our flag on
the high seas against any wrong from
ANY hostile power, and haye right to a
share in the distribution of the fund pro-
lyided for the settlement of those claims.
The Committee of Ways and Means
met the Secretary of the Treasury last
might in his private Office in the Arling-
ston Hotel. All the members were pres
ent and besides the general discussion
which ensued the Secretary was fully
|iterr0gated as to the reason OF his recon-
mendatlon by MIR. Conant. lie answered
the question to the satisfaction of the
Committee. 1t is probable that these
birth in the actual provisions of the law /;
first, that out of the revenues of the Gov
iernment there must be reserved suffi-
Client amount to pay the interest ON the
public debt. .,,...- ....
At any rate, the precedent was estab-
tlished and continued even down to and
through the administration OF Mr.. Bout
well, who claims to be the father of this
provision for the sinking fund. Secre-
ltary Bristow is firm on the recommenda-
tion for reversal of the practice by act
ually setting apart The one per cent. for
the sinking fund, and ii the deficits 0c-
cur, to let them be in other Departments
OF the Government.
e. 1t is kn0wn.that the Syndicate in ELL
rope has urged these views and the
strict adoption of this plan for the pur-
pose of Strengthening U. s. securities
abroad und an actual compliance with
the law. The Committee will recon-
mend an increase Of taxation, for CON-
pliance with the law is now more seri-
6usly regarded; and, while the Secre-
. tary> will ask for marginal sums, it is
possible that the provision will be made
'lor an increase beyond $25, 100000 or 49,
100000.
BRITISH SUBJECTS NOT TO SHARE IN THE
ALABAMA FUND.
The Alabama Claims Court have furth-
er decided that the subjects of Great
Britain are to be excluded from any par
Iticipation in the distribution of the fund
Ior the settlement OF these claims, as has
tpeen allowed to other foreigners.
