SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

The columns of the Congressional Record,
just published, shows that during the ses
sion of the last Congress, Southern claims
for the use and occupation of property dur
ing the war were introduced to an amount
exceeding the entire national debt by $780,,
900. They are classified as follows:
Rebuilding levees on the Mis-
sissippi, $5,a5O,OOO
Rebuilding bridges in West
Virginia, 200, 900
Refunding Cotton Tax, 6S,O72, 900
Supplies used or destroyed, 1,205, 1G3, 900
Use and occupation of prop
erty, 1905, 1913, 900
Return of proceeds of cap
tured property, 100000
Refund and remission of d.
rect tax, =. 5,153, $50
Disloyal mail contractors, $4,000
Disloyal claimants, under the
repeal of Section 3, $50, Re-
vised Statutes, 500, 900
Private Statutes, . 4,110, 800
Sc, 503, 622, 1856
Is not this fearful showing? So long
as the Republican party has control of the
Government, no fear would be entertained
by any one that these claims would be al
lowed; but install the Democratic party
in power, and from that moment the pub
lie credit must suffer. These Southern
claims would be sufficient to shake the
faith of the nations creditors, whether sus-
tanned in their entirety by the party or not.
The fact that schemes of expenditure are
pressed upon the party by that section of
its members, which dictates its policy, to
an extent that would double the debt, would
be fatal to financial confidence. We can
didly believe that however much averse to
allowing these claims Northern Democrats
may be at this time, and notwithstanding
Mr.. Tilden's recent letter, the Southern
wing of the Democrat party has deter
mined that these claims shall be paid. All
that they want is the power to carry out
their determination. That they will whip
into the support of this their pet scheme,
not only Northern Democrats who NAV
oppose it, but Mr.. Tiden also; the past
history of the country while under Demo-
cratic rule is sufficient guarantee. The
machinery is all ready and in working or
der. The following is true copy of the
bill under which they expect to accomplish
their purpose. This bill was introduced by
Mr.. Riddle, on February 2sth, 1876:
A BILL
Directing compensation for the use and
occupation of property by the United
States Army during the late war.
BE ii enacted By the Senate and House of
Representatives Of the United States of Amer-
aca in Congress assembled, That the Secre-
| tary of War be. and he is hereby, author
lied to allow reasonable compensation to
all citizens of the United States for the
use and occupation of their property by

Col. R. w. FLoURNoY, of Mississippi has
written letter to deny that he has gone
over to Tilden. He says: "Of all men,
not excepting Buchanan and Van Buren,,
look upon Tiden as the most exceptional,
unworthy, and dangerous man that has
ever been presented for the office of Presi-
dent, man who escaped an indictment
for perjury simply by the statue of limita-
tions.''

IT is not the action of Mr.. Tilden so
much as it is the demands of Southern peo-
pie that create apprehension about the pay
ment of rebel claims. That there is ground
for more apprehension is now fully proved
by Mr.. Tilden himself; he is not the man
to 60 out of his way to fight wind mills.
If there is no danger of the payment of
such claims, why does he break silence on
the subject

The Democratic victory in Baltimore, on
Wednesday, was miserably barren affair.
1t serves only to show that that party is
growing weaker and weaker in this, it's
stronghold, and that ere long this down
trodden, plundered and mismanaged city
will once more be under control of honest
men. Their majority has been reduced to
less than 5000. We hail this as in truth
Republican victory.
ONE of our Democratic exchanges says,
Grants recent South Carolina proclama-
ton will give 10000 votes to Tilden.-
Another says it has driven the last nail in
the Republican coffin. If these papers
really believe their own statements, then
why set up such howl about it? If Grant
is to do SO much for the election of Tilden,
why not extend to him helping hand in
this work

could not find her husband. Hour
