The Memphis Avalanche of the LIST
inst, makes public the following impOr-
tant information. There are many per
sons of this section interested in the
statement made. Col. Meyers deserves
credit for energy displayed in recovering
these claims. All having such claims
would do we'll to see him concerning
them:
We are happy to learn that out of the
total amount awarded by the Depart
ment at Washington, under the Act of
July A, 1864, for property taken and used
by the United States Army during the
late war, for the States of Tennessee,
Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Delaware and Maryland-nearly one
third of which was collected through the
Claim Agency of our worthy and es-
teemed fellow-citzen Col. Gilbert Moy-
eTs, for the years 1874 and 1875-that
clients whose claims have been TINS al
lowed will soon receive their pa. The
amount thus collected aggregates the
sum of SIS 600, and does not embrace the
large amount collected through the
Southern Claims Commission for the
States of Tennessee, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana. Col. Meyers is we'll
and publicly known as the most active
and energetic CLAIM Agent in the South
ern States, and all who have not yet
presented their claims would do we'll to
entrust their business to his agency.

The London Standard says: ''Mr.
Tilden has been tried in the most impor-
tant office next that of the Presidency,
the Governorship of the State of
New York, and in that Office he expert
euced extreme unpopularity, he offended
influential men of both parties, he quar-
relied bitterly with the managers of his
own, of which he was the head; risking
utter political ruin to do his duty. Such
a trial with such result entities him to
the fullest trust. Mr.. Tilden is strong
enough to have his own way, and his
own way is that Of honesty.
The success of the Republicans with a
candidate like MIR. Haeys,w will mean cons
donation for the past and continuance
for the future-with somewhat more of
reserve and pTudence-of the recent
course of the republican administration.
Republican defeat of itself will mean a
severe rebuke to corruption and dishOn-
Sty-a rebuke which it Is the duty of the
American people to administer.
