Rebel Funds in the Bank OF England

The money to the credit of the con
federate government in the bank of
Englasd at the close of the war
amounted to $4,000 or $500, 900, and
it is there yet, together with the inter-
est which has accumulated thereon,
and the whole sum belongs by right to
the United States government, which
has never yet made any decided effort
to get hold of it. That money comes
under the head of captured and aban-
doned property, and there can be no
owner save the federal government.
In 1867 the British government inform
ed the American minister, Reverdy
johnson, that the money would be
paid over to his government if the
latter would become responsible for
the confederate liabilities. This is
asking little too much, and the de-
mand is not based on right or reason.
The money is abandoned property just
as much as confederate cannon and
other war material taken at the close
of the war were abandoned property
1t is singular that Mr.. Blaine has not
made II demand for this little lot OF
cash -Er.

THE people of Milwaukee, after ex-
pending nearly 100000 upon one of
:i.e finest exposition buildings in the
United States, and having just closed
their first show, are in danger of getting
into big lawsuit in regard to the
ground the building is located upon.
Mr., Gilman, the former owner, brings
suit in the circuit court to enjoin the
collection of taxes levied on his prop
erty for assessments of benefits by rea-
son of taking the property for the en-
largement of park. which was done
under regular proceedings for condem-
nation. He alleges that the property
is not used for park, but has been
leased to a private corporation for a
term of fifty years, and that building
has been erected upon it, to enter
which fee is charged. The court
holds that this is not public use, that
il would not have been condemned for
such a purpose, and that the proceed
ings generally are void. 1t is an inn
portant decision, and is now on its way
TO the supreme court.
