WASHINGTON.
Alabama Claims Court.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE court of com
missioners of Alabama claims will adjourn
at the end of July. This late adjournment
is taken from the belief that August and
September are the hottest months in Wash
ington. The life of the court ends with the
close of this year, but Congress- no doubt,
will give it another years existence as there
will be large number of claims unadjudi-
Gated at the end of December The Demo-

postpone the extension bill until several
weeks after the court legally ceases to exist
and then new judges and court officers will
be appointed to fill the places of the present

There are hundreds of fishy claims passed
on this court, and it requires the oath of two
persons to establish loss. The claimants
travel in pairs and swear for each other.
The cupidity of human nature is illustrated
in every cline. For instance, about every
common seaman who files claim has lost a
gold chronometer and large amounts of wear
ing apparel. A servant girl claimed to have
lost Ga pairs of pillow cases, 80 sheets and a
very extensive list of similar articles. Her
number of chemises would astonish a mill
ionaire's daughter. Truly the Confederate
cruisers who caused such enormous destruc-
tion of property should answer for the stall

A Pleasant Affair.

Court adjourned Saturday after
noon after having been in session
six weeks. Since court convened in
September Judge Spear has been elect
ed to the Supreme Bench of Ohio, and
in view of this fact, just before the
took occasion to express to the mem
bers of the bar his sincere thanks for
their uniform courtesy to him during
| the seven years he has been upon the
bench. He said that the bar of the
county, by their kindly action, had
done much to tighten his many aedu.
Gus labors, and make easy what with
out their aid and cooperation would
be very difficult and trying position.
He expressed the hope that the young
er members CT the bar would fulfill the
bright promises with which they have
started out il life that those of middle
age would continue to enjoy their lu-
crative practice, and that those past
the meridian of life would 60 down to
a happy old age full of honor and re
spect. He concluded his few we'll
chosen remarks by expressing great
reluctance at being compelled to turn
away from the scenes which, while
full of hard labor, had not been with
out their happy and pleasant days, and
though he had left the Common Pleas
bench, he hoped to meet all the mem.
bers of the bar many times in the
future.
At the conclusion of Judge Spears |
remarks M. Stuart, Esq, arose and |
asked the Court that the bar might be |
permitted to have placed upon the |
journal of the court some testimonial |
of their unqualified and unanimous
respect for Judge Spear. He said he |
believed it was the universal opinion
of the members of the bar that Judge |
Spear had always been patient and |
long suffering to both attorney and |
client, in all the trying litigation that |
had been before him. BE therefore |
moved that permission be granted to |
the bar to place upon the journal such |
an expression of the members of the |
bar relative to the retirement of Judge |
Spear as they might hereafter prepare.
Geo. F. Robinson and w. B. Thomas
both seconded Mr.. Stuart's motion,
prefaced by few words full of genu.
inc feeling at the loss of Judge from
the lower bench for whom everyone
has the greatest respect.
The request of Mr.. Stuart was
granted, and court adjourned without
day.

EDITOR PRESS: Now that the

that the commission of our present
very excellent postmaster will soon

pable democrat
There are several persons in our
midst who would accept the position,
and all of those whose names we have
heard mentioned are deserving and
capable men. This being SO, in order
to determine the choice and the wishes
of the largest number of Democrats in
the township, let an election be called
to make choice of the man to fill the
position. Let proper rules and regu-
lations be established for the conduct
of the election, and let the Democratic
voters who are regular patrons of the
Office determine by ballot the successor
to Mr.. Krake. "Let some other
brother speak"
