does not desire a war; and will do everything IN us

The Mexican border question will be brought up
IN the House tomorrow by the submission Of bill
by Congressman Giddngs authorizing the Secretary
of War to contract with the Galveston and Camargo
Railway Company for the immediate construction
OF its line to Rio Grande City, opposite Camargo
Mexico The object Of this bill is to enable the com
pany at once to complete road which be used by
the Government for moving troops to defend the
coast of Texas, and for concentrating rapidly n
force, should it be needed, the Rio Grande. The
friends of this subsidy say that the road has already
been projected, and would have been completed in
ten years without Government aid. Their purpose
in asking for the subsidy is to enable them
to put it in operation at once. The COM
pany proposes to allow three-fourths of any
amounts that may become due from the Govern
ment for the transportation of troops and supplies
over it's line, to be retained in payment of the
principal and interest of whatever sum may be
granted it by the Government for its
immediate construction and equipment. The
length of the line is about 1872 miles, and
the bill provides for the construction of tele-
graph line as well Of a railroad. The following
are of the conditions proposed in the bill The
company is to enter into bonds TO construct and
equip the road and telegraph line within fifteen
months from the date Of the contract and is to
transport troops and freight at rates not to exceed
two cents per ton mile for freight and two cents
mile for each passenger. and to transmit kilograms
at rate not to exceed eighty cents for the first ten
words, and four cents for each additional word.
The subsidy asked for IS $4,000 mile for building
ami equipping the road.
General Ord feels no apprehension on account Of
the long absence of Leutenants Bulls and Young
in the Rio Grande country lie says that they have
a strong detachment of 200 men, and able TO
punish any Indians that may attack them. They

He expects that they in Mexican territory, al
though they may possibly have crossed back again

A PIONEER WAR CLAIM.
TIE HOUSE MAKES An APPROPRIATION FOR VA
LOSSES At NEW-ORLEANs
Icy TELEGRAPH 10 THE TRmUNEI


LOSSES At NEW-ORIEANs.
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmUNEI
WASHINGTON, Dec. "a private bill passed the
House on Friday, which some OF the Republicans as
scrt establishes a precedent for the payment of
large class of war claims which have hitherto been
considered bv Congress, and which were the sub
icct of much heated controversy, during the last
presidential election. The bill passed almost with
ont objection. Only thirty-thrce Republicans parti-
cipated in the vote by tellers by which 1t was de-
cared adopted.
The history Of the clam is briefly this. Cora A.
slocumb, and other ladies of New-Orleans, owners
Of property in that city, applied to General buIei
who was in command Of the military forces in Lou
isiana in 1862, for permission to leave the city and
spcud the Summer in the mountain region Of North
Carolina. Having expressed fear that their property
might be interfcred with by the military authorities
duriuo their absence General Butler promised that
# sbould not be disturbed This pledge strictly
fulfilled as long as General Butler remained in
command. Before the return Of the ladies TO
Ncw-Oreans General Butler was superseded,
by General " p Banks, who soon issued a general
order for the seizure Of al property belonging to abb
scntees Under this ORDER all the real estate IN New
Orleans belonging TO the claimants, and such Of
their personal property could be found there, was
taken possession Of by the military authorities. The
most of the former was used for military purposes
That not so used was turned over to the special Treas
ury Agent, who rentedit, and paid the moneys col
ectcd forthe use the United States Treasury
The personal property seized consisted of stocks on
which the dividends were collected and paid INTO
the Treasury. During the time that the United
States authorities had possession Of the property,
some stores insured for $14 800, were burned The
amount of insurance was collected and also paid into
the Treasury At the close Of the war, all this prop
ery was restored to the possession of its owners,
but no portion Of the moneys that had been collected
either as dividends OF insurance, was returned. 1t
was beyond the coltrol of the Executive.
Claims for these sums, amounting IN all to about
$4,000, were presented to the XLllld Con-
gross A favorable report was made TO the
1ouse BIZ the Committee on War CLAIMS,
but no action was ever taken upon IT. In
The last Congress a favorable report was again
Rendered, but was never reached. The Committee
On War Claims Of the present Congress adopted the
1eports Of the two former committees, and recon-
.1neudcd the payment Of the claim. The vote was
taken by tellers Friday, and stood 81 IN the al
frmatiye TO 80 in the negative.
ItIs not asserted that these claimants were lOyai
persons and IL is feared by many OF the Republicans
that the passage of this bill establishes precedent
for the payment of millions of dollars for property
seized aud used By the Government during the War
Of he Rebellion.
