TIE Supreme Court Of the Dis

THE Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, in general term,
decided the celebrated suit of Adj
miral Porter and the officers and
men Of the North Atlantic Squad
ron for prize money on account of
the capture of Richmond. In 1874.
nine years after the conclusion Of
the war, suits were entered in the
courts of this district in behalf Of
the officers and men of the North
Atlantic Squadron, claiming in the
aggregate about three million dol
lars in prize money for the part
taken by the squadron in the cap
ture OF Richmond. Included in
these suits were claims for bounty
money for every man captured on
the Confederate fotilla and batter.
les, at the rate of two hundred dol
lars per head, and also bounty for
all ships and batteries destroyed by
the Coniederates on the York and
Pamunky rivers to prevent them
falling into the hands of the Union
forces. Prize money was also claim.
ed on account of the capture of the
Texas and Beaufort, Confederate
men-of-war, and in the bill the value
of these two ships was appraised al
1892, 121. In November last, Judge
Humphreys, before whom the case
was tried, set aside the former de.
cree, and estimated the value of the
two vessels at $67, 22O and awarded
prize money to the amount of $685.
600. He denied all other claims
for prize money. The court unani-
mOusly reversed the former proceed
ings and dismissed all the libels.
The libelants still have the privilege
of appealing to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

The Boston Post says that a short time

about five feet in length, and has q body

and twisted and ratified sharp notes of

the little quadruped had shaken himself
loose aud was hopping in alright at the
further end Of the cage for a mean of
exit. To the surprise of all he showed

PUBLIC attention has recently

law which not only opens wide q
door for frauds, but makes those
frauds difficult of detection and
almost impossible Of prevention.
1t is the law by which pOstmasterS
of the fourth-class are paid a COM
mission on the stamps sold, instead
of a fixed salary. BY fraudulent
collisions the dishonest postmaster
eau make extensive charges for
stamps that were, in fact, never
sold. This is a matter difficult of
reform, for it requires a change in
the law. The department has,
