for Washington City last evening, over
the B. & o. Road. The Squire has a
claim against the government OF fifteen

Many Of our citizens illremember that
during the early part Of the late rebellion
Mr. Phillips and Others were engaged in
transportation OF cotton from Mobile,

Planter, valued at S65,000, was engaged
in the business, and was owned rs fol-
lows: II. W. Phillips, of Wheeling, one
eighth; Capt. Wells, Of Sistersyille, three:
eighths; Clark Hanes and John Beam, oil
Wheeling, each one eighth. In 1873 the
Planter was captured oil the Florida
coast and con6scated by the government.
At the time she carried a cargo OF 500
bales Of cotton and $50 barrels OF tur-
pentine, the cotton and turpentine to.
gether being valued az about $4,000.
Shortly after her capture the Planter
was sold by the Government for SIC, 800,
which amount was covered into the
treasury Of the United States. The pur.
chasers OF the steamer then leased her 70
the Government, the terms being S225
per day, and this lease did not terminate
until the close OF the war. The steamer
is supposed to be still in active service,
though her whereabouts Ia unknown.
Mr.. Phillips and his associates will make
a strenuous effort at this session Of Con:
gress TO secure not only the full value oil
the steamer, but also interest on the same

no doubt Of the complete Democratic victory
in most of the States which vote on that day.
The Democratic majority in the next House

by thirty.
The intelligence from Pennsylvania is
highly favorable, and indicates that the Re

aud Greenbackers on the State and Legislative
tickets, giving the election Of IL Senator to
succeed Cameron.
The latest reports Mt the Republican head
quarters here COuCede that the Democrats
will elect one member Of Congress in New
Hampshire, and that the Democrats and
Grt enbackers will elect q majority Of the
members Of the Legislature, which gives the
election Of Senator, to succeed WadIeigh, to
the Democrats, and also the election Of the
Governor, as no choice of the latter will be
effected by the people.
