said, the record complied by Henry II.
smith, Clerk OF the Committee on War Claims
OF the Forty-tbird Congress, gives the following
official facts The Dem ocrats here assert that
the rebel war claims are mainly the property Of
the War Department Washington Ring; .that
In 1872 Gen. E. V. Rice, who was Belknap's 60
between in the post-tradership swindles. was
purchased nearly all the pretended claims
against the Government for damages incurred
by citizens during the war. The Forty-third
Republican Congress passed these claims TO the
Democratic House at the last session passed
Southern claims to the amount OF only SlfOOO
exclusively held by original owners. The COm-
mittee OF the House of the FOrty-third Con-
Rress (Repuolichn) reported such claims favor
ably to the extent Of about SS.OOOO 600 including
the Infamous cotton claims. wnIle the Commit
tee OF the Democratic House OF the Forty fourth
Congress reported favorably ON the same class
OF clsimsto the extent OF only S2liOU. The
claims passed by the Forty-third Congress, un-
assigned TO members Of the Washington COM
binatiOn aud owned by them. There are very
few OF the rebel war claims outstanding in the
hands Of the original losers, anu the Democrats
say tnat the present House ut its last session
saved the country several millions Of dollars by
refusing to consider these claims which were
to great extent fictitious or exaggerated, and
that the cry on this subject raised by the Re
publicans Is instiglted by the Ring, who hope,

THE DOWNFALL FJERUsALEM
kauIbnch's Fre.co Criticised by the Rev. DIR.
Gottheil as an Insult to Judaism.


The first lecture of the Young Mems
Hebrew Association c course W 5 delivered on At
urday evening by the Rev. DR.. Gottheil. His sub
ject was " X aulbach's Fresco Of the Destruction
Of Jerusalem" The lecture was OF the
nature Of criticism from the historical
standpoint. when / first saw the frcsco
at Berlin" said the lecturer, :" / was entranced
with the genius OF the artist shown In hs
masterpiece; but study Of the great work
saddened me, for l saw that In II. as In all
works Of art for centuries, the people aud the
eligion OF Israel had been treated with injls-
tice." By means of a large photograph or en-
craving Of tue original, Dr. Gotthel pointed
out the various features Of the painting. which,
In their treatment, are IN his oliuion al variance
with prOper presentation Of the truth. He first
called attention to the figures Of the prophets
Isaiah, jeremiah and Ezekiel, represented as
pointing proudly To their books, hs though
claiming thR the horrible tragedy enacting be-
fore them they themselves had predicted. IL
was generally held that In the destruction Of
the city they typiued the downfall of Judaism !;
but II Is worthy Of remark that their prophecy
pointed TO the destruction Of Jerusalem py an
Asinitc power that afterward she should rise
from her ruins and become more glorious than
ever before. Histo -hUws thai II was Roman
Emperor VINO besieged and DESTROYED her.
"ln the case ~ the prophet Daniel said tho
speaker, " the anachronism IA still greater. His
book was not prophecy OF the downfall Of Je-
rusAlem, II was written IN the time Of The Mac
clbees, TO comfort the downtrodden people OF
Israel, and to give them tie promise of a nap
pier fortune" All through the picture were
seen evidences of a Christian bias. The three
leaders OF the zealots were represented as
standing idle while the work OF slaughter was
IN progress. They were soldiers, and brave, he
role soldiers whether right or wrong In their
partisanship, and nothing was more Improbable
than that they could have been Inert when their
brethren needed the aid Of their swords.
Judaism WAS represented by the ngure OF
Judas lscariot pursued by furies driving him
forth on his unhoy mission; aud this the itc-
turer looked upon as the cruWning insult OF the
work. In conclusion, he reminded his numer-
Gus hearers Of the promise made in tho Scrip
lures Of their fathers that after the destruction
OF the city a brighter day would dawn; and"
added he, the fulness Of the glory ot Judaism
