a WAsHHaToE dispatch says Sen
ator Brown, Of Georgia, created asen
sation on Monday, while discussing
the Bowman bill, which sends all claims
to the court of claims for adiudica-
ton, by declaring that the bill ought
to allow those who were in rebellion
to the government 10 have the right
TO prove their claims against the goY-
eminent. He quoted from the docis-
ions Of the supreme courts, showing
that after pardon an ex-rebel had as
many rights in a court of justice as a
citizen who had beenloyal. Mr. Brown
said he thought it was only justice
that the fund of s1o,oo0,0o0 now in.
the treasury, and which accrued from
the sale of captured and abandoned
property in the south, should be dis
tributed among the real owners Of the
fund, manyof whom were widows and
children and in need.
