Freight Troubles.
Vessel owners have remained firm in
their demadd for cent freight on corn
and Il on wheat to Buffalo, and as ship
pcrs demanded reductions, there were
no charters, the grain men preferring to

possibility of securing lower rates with

GaffleId1 had well predicted not long since
that any man who attempted to appeal
again to sectional jealousy and sectional
amin osities on the floor of the House would
appe al in vain. He Mr.. Hooker) could not
forget that when the war closed there was
gallant minority OF mem berS in he House,
led by its present Speaker, who resisted the
oppression of the South and banded togetn-
er Mem berS from tie South had thus felt
that they had found manly defenders on tie
part OF the Northern Democracy. Coming
down to the question OF war claims Mr..
Hooker said there We're only sixteen such
eIaIms pending from Mississippi. The great
or part OF them came from Tennessee,
State which had furnished 5000 men 10 the
Federal army; many from Maryland. and
some from the extreme Northern States,
had decided that the fund from captured and
abandoned property was a fund from which
such claims should be paid. A large pro-
portion OF that captured and abandoned
property bad been sold at auction by the
Treasury agents. Southern representatives
had voted for a bill to pay $90000,000 of
srrearages OF pensions the regular Pension
Appropriation bill OF S30000,000; the 3d.
900 600 to pay for the Canadian fisheries
aud innumerable claims of that sort, and
never asked where the money would go.
But now that il was proposed to refer some
Southern claims to the proper tribunal it
was said that that would not do, that the
tribunal mi ht decide the claim to be Just
one and that it was too large to be paid. A
large part of the claims now on the calen-
dAr had been presented long before there
was Democrat in the House from "A South

We regret to announce the death of Henry

near Fannin, on the 3lst ult-, OF pneumonia.
He was attacked on the previous Saturday
night violently, and though he had the best
of medical atten ton and all that kind and
affeetionate nurses could do, his disease
proved fatal. He was buried last Sunday at
the family burial ground, amid the tears and
regret of a host OF mourning relatives and
friends. He was in the vigor of physical
manhood when attacked by disease. and In
the thirty-eighth year of his age. Truthful,
generous, brave, honest. kind and charita-
