A HAPPY INCIDENT.-TheN New Y ork
Tribune remarks that the most inspirr
ing moment of the great national
celebration of the Fourth at Philadel-
phia was at the close, when Sir Edward
Thornton was presented to the people
as the representative of Great Britain.
A storm of cheers followed his appear
ance on the platform. "It was" says
the Tribune, "a Spontaneous, ,unpromps
ted popular recognition of respect for
the mother country, and of special
welcome to her representative on such
a memorable day. 1t was so fresh and
cordial that no American present could
help feeling that it marked the close of
all hostile or even jealous feeling and
the beginning of a new era of noble
seif-reliance and self>respect.

1wenty.nine more war claim bills have
been introduced since the holiday recess,
mostly in the house of representatives.
In nine OF these bills the amount is not
stated. The twenty Others amount in
the aggregate to $220,686. 80, an average
of about $ll 900 per claim. The heaviest
claim is that of the heirs of Thomas Hord,
Of Tennessee, for $5S,995 for supplies
taken from Hord's farm on the battle
field of Stone river by the United States
army. Another large claim is that of J..
Duncan, of Nashville, Tenn, for $39, ,225
for property taken and used by the
United States forces during the late civil
war" A bill introduced by Mr.. Atkins,
of Tennessee, refunds to H. johnson and
lorty-eight other citizens assessments to
the aggregate amount of about 1926, 900,
levied and collected under an order issued
by Col. J. W. Harney, commanding the
post of Bethel, McNairy county, Tenn.
One of the senate bills is to pay the claim
of Dr. Best, of Paducah, KY, amounting
to $2j, 900. Congress has once passed the
bill, but 1t was vetoed by President
Grant. A bill not included in the fore
going list, which comprises only southern
claims, appropriates about 81 900 to pay
certain persons in Guernsey county,
Ohio, for damages inflicted by Morgan
during his famous raid in 1868.
One Of the bills before the house COM
mittee on postoffices, introduced by Mr..
Dibreli, of Tennessee, concerns singular
case. The McMinnville and Manchester
railroad, in Tennessee, purchased of the
quartermaster general of the United
States soon after the close of the war
about 10000 worth of rolling stock, and
the government took as security lien
on the earnings of the road. The COM
pany soon afterward failed, and the road
was sold to pay its indebtedness to the
state of Tennessee under a decree in
chancery. 1t was purchased by the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad company,
and leased TO l.. ID. Hickman & Co. for
a term of five years. The lessess are the
mail contractors for the route served by
the McMinnville and Manchester road.
By an order issued by the quartermaster-
general, all earnings of the mail service
on this road are to be applied as a credit
on the account against the old railroad
company, and in order to save their COM
pensation, Hickman & Co. transport their
mail coaches the whole length of the
road, causing a delay of the mails for
several counties. Mr.. DibreiPs bill prac-
tically extinguishes the government lien
30 as to restore the mail to the railroad.

the total was 2,793, 402. As regards the
tonnage of the sailing vessels of the
