REBEL WAR CLAIMS.
a Republican RING Interested in Them
The Record of two Congresses.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-In regard TIC
the rebel war claims, about which so much
| has been said, the record complied by
henry IL. Smith, clerk of the committee
on war claims of the Forty third congress,
gives the following official facts: The
democrats here assert that the rebel wal
claims are mainly the property of the wal
department Washington ring, that in 1872
Gen. h. V. Rice, who was Belkuap's go.
between in the post leadership swindles,
was the representative of the combination
that purchased nearly all the pretended
claims against the government for dain-
ages incurred by citizens during the war.
The Forty-thir Republican, congress
passed these claims to the amount of about
$1,000 900, while the present Democratic
mouse at the last session passed southern
war claims to the amount of only $74,O00,
exclusively held by the original owners.
Inc committee OF the house of the Forty
tnlrd congress (Republican) reported such
claims favorably to the extent of about
SS,O0O,000 including the infamous cotton
claims. while the committee Of the DemL-
cratic house of the Forty fourth congress
reported favorably on the same class of
claims to the extent of only $217, 900.
Inc claims passed by the Forty-third con-
gress, under Republican control, were
almost exclusively assigned to members of

bers from the south are said to be all in
terested in this plot. and the official record
of the action on the subject by the Forty
third congress substantiates the allegation.
