A Coming Claim.

From the New York Tribune.
A story which comes from Charleston,
South Carolina, has considerable inter-
est just now in view of the return Of
former rebels in large number to the
place which they deserted in order to
help the rebellion. According to this
statement, the active demand for Con-
federate bonds, which has two or three
times been noticed, and which was COM
mOIly supposed to be altogether sense
less, was in fact not without meaning
and practical object. 1t has long been
known that considerable fund, raised
for the uses of the rebel government
abroad, remained at the close of tho war
undisbursed. II was said to be on de-
post in the Bank of England, but not in
the names of Confederate officials as
such. According to the report now cur
rent, consultation was held in regard
to the disposition of this fund. 1t was
determined that, as the only remaining
assets of the late rebel government, this
money rightfully belonged to the credit
ors or that government who had taken
its bonds. At the suggestion of MIR. Ben
Jamln, formerly of Louisiana, and since
the war of London, holders Of Confeder
ate bonds were advised by advertisement
10 make known their addresses. The
persons in whose name the secret service
fund was held then proceeded to neg0ti-
ate Tor the SURRENDERED the bonds upon
payment OF one or more OF the coupons

due. In many cases, 1t is stated, the
bonds were given upon payment OF q
single coupon. In other cases more than
one coupon was paid, until finally, ae-
cOrding to this report the whole of the
secret service fund was disbursed to the
creditors of the dead rebellion.
So far the story Is not particularly diff
ficult of belief. Mr.. Benjamin and the
other gentlemen who acted as trustees
for the fund were probably in such po-
sition that neither one OF them could
have absorbed any of it, even IL he had
been SO disposed. Nor Is there reason to
believe that either of these men. though
willing to violate their 0aths toward the
government of the United States, was
dishonest in the sense that he would
have been willing to secure any personal
gain for himself at the risk of an accu-
satiOn of criminal breach of trust. But
the question POW arises, what has be-
come of these bonds?
The story which is now circulated Is
that the Confederate bonds, after having
been surrendered by the former holders,
were Immediately destroyed. This is q
shade too much for belief. There is not
prominent Confederate, whether skill
ed in the law. as Mr.. Benjamin undOubt-
eddy was, or wholly unskilled, who has
not persuaded himself that these bonds
must some day be paid by the United
States government. The lawyer cOnsid-
ers that the COnfederacy had certain
legal status as de .facto government,
and could hold assets and incur debts,
and that its conquest entitled the con-
qHering government to all the assets and
also made it liable for all the debts. Now
that the "Confederacy is in the saddle
again." Mr.. Cleveland having been elect
ed. we shall see before long claims made
on behalf of the holders of Confederate
bonds. Mr.. Garland, as Attorney Gener-
al. is apt to treat this claim quite unlike
that of the creditors against Virginia,
and it will be interesting to observe in
the not distant future what the Demo-
cratic Administration finds it convent
eat to do about such a claim. To reject
it with scOrn would be TO east reprOaeh
upon the memory of the rebellion, which
it seems to be one of the principal objects
of this Administration to keep ever fresh
and green.
