gal or of an equitable character before the
court of claims. The ostensible purpose of the
bill is to relieve Congress from work on pii-
vate matters. 1t has been reported, and has
the support of many Republicans, because it
has seemed to provide plan for taking the
matter of claims out of Congress. While it
could be made to apply to a large class of rebel
claims, its terms are altogether general, and
there would be no ground in the face of the
measure to require veto from General Han
COCK If elected. But Democratic lawyers, in
their talk at the Treasury, have exposed the
next step in contemplation, il the d emocrats
succeed. 1t is the intention to make the addi-
tional business which the measure would in-
evitably give to the court Of claims an argu-
ment to enlarge II to nearly twice the present
size IN order to make it possible to discharge
It's business promptly. With the Potter bill,
law, and the majority of the court of claims
Democrats, there would be no limits to the
sums that would be taken from the Treasury
Those who have had to do with settling the
cotton claims since the war, express the opin.
ion that at least $25, ,000, 900 in cotton claims,
which have never yet been filed. would at
once be placed on the dockets of that court.
In connection with that subject, it is signif-
cant that Senator Vance does not seem TO agree
with General Hancock on the subject of rebel
claims, as he has lately said in speech: "The
South asks from the North compensation for
homes destroyed, farms laid waste, property
stolen and slaves released" II the Potter bill,
which has been favorably reported from the
committee, passes, it will at once crowd the
docket of the court of claims with business re-
mitted to it by Congress, and not in any degree
tainted with disloyal origin, as to give prop
er excuse for increasing the court. Neither
the Potter bill in its face nor the bill to in
crease the court would call for a veto. or be in
danger of any veto from General Hancock.
These two measures accomplished, and the
sums that could be paid out ON account of the
various classes Of Southern claims, would be
practically without limit
The Portland daily press., 1880-10-06

THE Nation We presume that there is
little question that the weakness of the
stock market in the face of the large rail
road earnings and the activity of business
in almost every branch of Industry, is due,
in some degree, to the great increase of un-
certainty as to the result of the Presidential
election caused by the Maine election.
There is nothing the business world likes
so much and finds so valuable as certainty
with regard to the future; there is hardly
any state of the law, as long as property is
secure, to which trade cannot adapt itself,
and under which active and intelligent men
cannot make money, if they are only sure
that it will not be suddenly altered. What
ever be the defects of the present financial
legislation of the country, it is undeniable
that great prosperity exists under it, and
it is likely to continue for a few years, if no
sudden or violent change be made in it.
The business of the country has, in other
words, adapted itself to the situation Gre
ated for it by Republican legislation; and
the Republican party has, in the present
canvass, the great advantage of being able
to promise that if it remains in power, this
situation will last.

A Notable Conversion,

1t is announced that Mr.. S. S. johnson,
manager of the Dutchess County Print Works,
who has heretofore acted with the Democratic
party, has declared his intention to vote for
Garfield and Arthur and to do all that he can
to secure their election. Mr.. johnson is sa-
gacious, ng-headed business man, and having
looked over the ground carefully, he decides
that he cannot afford to take the risk that
would be involved in the election of Hancock
and English.
He is but one of many converts to Republic
canism which have been made since the cam
paign opened, from the great commercial class
in the country. The fact of the matter is the
business men from the Atlantic to the Pacific
are becoming thoroughly aroused to sense of
the meaning of this campaign They see that
their interest in the election ought to be most
profound since it is vitality to effect their in
terests. They realize that change in admin
istration is likely to transform good times into
bad times; that to turn the government over
to the very men who so lately tried to destroy
it, to invite change in the financial policy
and to bring about "a tariff for revenue only"
would be to court adversely and disaster.
Hence we find that the merchants and manu-
facturers comprised in the Republican party
are Jealous for the election OF Garfield and
Arthur, and that many prominent business
men who have hitherto acted with the Democ-
racy are standing shoulder to shoulder with
them in opposition. to a change for the sake of
change
Not long ago we had occasion to mention
the fact that one of the largest and best known
manufacturers in this State, q man who en-
ploys hundreds of men, had quietly remarked
to a friend II have always been Democrat;
but this year am going to vote the Republi-
can ticket, for don't feel that can afford to
take the risk which is involved in change of
