nknnsn- MILITARY Claims.

At last a determined and inteili-
gent effort is being made for the
collection of the Kansas military
claims. This remark is called out
by o pamphlet which mas been laid
upon our table, entitled: "a State
ment relating 10 the Claims of the
State of Kansas for money expend-
ed for the United States, for which
reimbursement is asked" This state
ment is q complete history, made
from the official records of the State
of the rebel and Indian raids from
1864 to 1874, and as a history of the
sufferiDgs and trials OF the pioneers
of Kansas, aud their energy and
courage ia defence of their homes
and adopted State, it is interesting
and valuable.
But We speak more especially, at
this time, in reference to our claims
against the General Government for
reimbursement for expenditures
made by the State. Ia making up
these claims the State officers and
State agents have not included dam
ages to property by the rebels and
Indians, which would amount to
millions of dollars, but have only
Included the claims actually paid by
the Issuance of bonds, or by pay
meHis made directly from the State
treasury, which amounts, as will be
seen by the auditors exhibit, reach
$40, 726.15.
A bill has been introduced IN the
United States Senate by Senator In-
gale, and another will be introduc
ed in the House, providing for re-
imbursing the State for money ex-
pended TO the amount shown in the
auditors schedule. The delegation
IN Congress aud the State officers
are earnestly pushing this matter,
and we have no doubt the press of
the State will as earnestly assist,
that these just claims, though long
delayed, may be adjusted and paid.
