Two full pages of briefs, contain
ing sixty-one claims, are omitted here
for want of space.
| The aggregate of theseione hundred
and forty claims is 1882, 269, and
they average $l1,201 in value. Such
is the character of some of the House
bills examined. In the Senate no In.
quiry has been made beyond two bills
which are somewhat striking in their
provisions. The first introduced by
Mr.. Merrimon, of North Carolina
proposes to ''repeal SO much of Sec
ton 3489 of the REVISED Statutes as
forbids the payment of the accounts,
l CtdtInB, uDu udulCu,
and to appropriate 100000 to pay
the eame when duly established. "
The accounts, claims, and demands
referred to, are any against the Unit
ed States which accrued or existed
prior to April 13. 1861, in favor OF
any person who "promoted, encour
aged, or in any manner sustained the
late rebellion"
It is well known that the amount
of claims barred by this act far ex-
ceeds 100000, although there are no
definite figures available fixing the
exact sum, and that the claimants
voluntarily forfeited their rights
and inflicted the loss upon themselves
| by joining the late rebellion.
| The other proposition referred to
comes from Mr.. Johnston, of Vir-
GINA. He claims to have found two
hundred and six "loyal" citizens in
Loudoun county, Virginia, whose
