WAR CLAIMS In the Court of
Claims one Knabe sued for 81 900.
that being the proceeds Of the sale of
his property in West Virginia which
was contiscated during the war, he be-
ing \ rebel. lie claims that the Pres
idential pardon reinstated him in all
his rights Of property, and consequent
" he was entitled to the above sum-
Judge Loring delivered the opinion of
the Court, adverse to the claim, as
Congress expressly has provided that
no money be drawn from the public
Treasury, except by an appropriation
made by law; consequently the presi-
dent is positively excluded from any
control of the National property, the
power We sted in the President to par
don crimes does not authorize him to
restore forfeited property, and the
proclamation of December 1868, under
which the claimant was pardoned,
does not restore confscated property.
The petition was dismissed.
