MoNTRosE, Susduehanna County, Penn, Aug.
SHere in this old Republican stronghold in all the
border counties of Pennsylvania determined effort is
making to create Gre nback" sentiment and organ
zaton. Labor Reform" proper could obtain no par
tcular hold in such purely agricultural county as th
but the low prices Of prOduce and hard times
generally make many of the ignorant and debt
ridden farmers an easy prey to greenbaek beresies
They are led believe that unlimited greenbacks will
restore old war prices The head missionaries of this
new political disponsatiOn, strange to relate are old
Bourbon Democrats and they very Jealous In trying
to gain converts especially from the Republican
fold 1t is these cunning old foxes who busy cir
culatng documents and pushing the circulation Of
"cheap and nasty" newspapers.
But the good and true Republicans Of susquehanna
County appreciate the threatened dangers and they be-
gan active operations month ago couneract these
malign influences. An efficient County Committee with
one member from each township. organized. with
Captain II. f. Beardsey, able and experienced
worker as chairman. In addition 10 this, Central Club
has been formed at MOntrOse, which includes in Its
membership the beet Of the party in this and the
adjoining township, among whom are Judge Jessup the
Hon. W. W. Watson, ex-senator, aud Others all animated
by the one patriotic purpose TO hold the old Republic

old supremacy.

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.
THE AGGREGATE APPALLING.
DEMAND FOR $3.50, 900 900 ALREADY-THIs oSLH


DEMAND FOR $3.50 600, 900 ALREADY-THIs oSL1
PART OF WHAT WILL BE CALLED FOR.
Below will be found a careful classification Of
Southern claims, containing much new matter
which the taxpaying North will not find reassur-
ing reading. From this classification are ex-
cluded all claims for depredations committed by
our troops, or for damages inflicted by the Con-
federate Government upon loyal citizens, or
for emancipated slaves; or, in other words,
the demands which form large proportion
of what are usually known as Southern
claims. This computation groups together the
claims for the refund of the cotton tax, for
property seized and sold under the Captured
and Abandoned Property Act tor cotton
seized contrary to law, for stores and supplies
and under this head come great horde of
disloyal claimants who were given an equal
standing in the courts with loyal claimants by
President Johnson's proclamation as in
terpreted by the Supreme Court; for
rent of buildings and lands occupied
in the rebel territory; for property
deliberately destroyed or damaged as mill
tary necessity, and for slaves enlisted into the
Union Army from the border States. And
the total sum demanded under these seven
classes, is at the very lowest estimate $780,
100000. Let it be remembered that this 10
only partial representation of Southern wal
claims that it includes none for depredations
committed by our troops. Let it be remem-
bered, Also that in addition TO all this, the
South has already demanded during single
session of Congress about $500, OOO,O 900 fOI
internal improvements. Two such sums make
a startling total. Let it be observed, also
that bill is pending in Congress to enlarge
the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims, by
referring to it all claims now urged before
different departments of the Government Here
tofore rebel claims have been barred because
the time allowed for presentation had expired.
If this bill passes, however, dislOyal will stand
as well as loyal claimants before the Court,
because President Johnson's proclamation
removed the disabilities in this respect
which treason had imposed. 1t will then only
be necessary for claimants to prove that theiT
property was taken, which they can usually do
by showing the receipts our Army officers
gave them.
