A KNOXVILLE CLAIM.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 12.-The
question whether the government
should pay a draft for two hundred
dollars to the receiver A. J. Johnson,
who was appointed such by the
chancery court of Knoxville, Tenn,
in February 1879, Or to pay B. P.
Stacy was decided to-day by Judge
Lawrence, first comptroller of the
treasury. The first comptroller
holds that no court, state or
national, can intervene between
government and payee or endorsee
of the draft to interfere with the
payment thereof directly to such
payee or endorsee, and orders that
the draft in question be delivered to
Stacy. The opinion Of Judge Law
renee is very lengthy, and takes the
broad ground that the treasury de-
partment can not submit to any
court the right to decide to whom
money is payable, or to pass upon
latent equities, or liens, or to decree
that money due from the govern
ment shall be paid to any but the
claimant.

A Cemetery Without a Monument.

The sea is the largest of ceme-
teries, and all its slumberers sleep
without monument. All other grave
yards, in all lands, show some SYM
'bols of distinction between the great
and small, the rich aud poor; but in
that ocean cemetery the king and
clown, the prince and the peasant are
alike undistinguished. The same
wave rolls over all 8; the requiem by
the minstrels of the ocean is sung in
their honor. Over their remains the
storms beat and the same sun shines
and there, unmarked, the weak and
the powerful, the plumed and the un-
honored will sleep on until, awakened
by the trump, the sea will give up its
dead. No marble rises to point out
where their ashes are gathered. Yet
the cemetery hath ornaments Of which
no other can boast. On no other are
heavenly orbs reflected in such splen-
dor Over no other is heard such
noble melody

While O funeral was in progress at

'Who did it?"
"The corpse inside"

do sech a marn thing as that couldn't
make a very scrumptious looking

who had overheard his remarks a
