The Tribune's Washington dispatch
says: Studious endeavors have been
made to mslead the public as to the
amount of claims which were introduced
in the House OF Representatives last
Winter. The Democratic speakers main
tain that no considerable number of
claims was passed. This is 80, but was
an electioneering trick. Bills we're pur-
posely and avowedIy withheld until after
the Presidential campaign. The official
books OF the House have not been acces.
sible to Republicans, but from advance
sheets of the Congressional Record OF
the session it is now possible to give the
number and the amount of these claims
definitely. The result is astounding.
The total sum proposed to be appropria-
ted is $400,0 900 more than our entire ma.
tional debt, and amounts to 50, 500, 622,-
1856. This was done at the first session
of the present Congress in the House.
The classification OF these claims is AZ
follows; Rebuilding levees on the Mis-.
sssippi river. $3.50, 900; rebuilding
bridges in West Virginia, 5000, 900; re-
fund of cotton tax, $68, 072 900; supplies
used or destroyed, $l,2O5. 1863 600; use
and occupation of property, 81, 205. $780,
600; return of proceeds Of captured prop.
erty. $4,000, 900; refund and remission
OF direct tax. SIS. 1853, 1858; disloyal mail
contractors, $3.50. 900; disloyal claimants
