the only reason Mr. Peelle's seat was con-
tested None Of these contests would be
heard of upon their merits; but the hungry
and thirsty" Democrats rely upon the shame
lessness Of the Democratic majority of the
House of Representatives to give them seats
to which they were not elected, and they are
shameless enough to receive and enjoy stolen
goods. What Mr.. Kidd will do, now that it
is confessed by his own party papers that he
has no case, remains to be seen.

SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

A Washington telegram in the Nashville
American of April IA states that several Ten
nessee congressman filed formal application
for the removal of certain inspectors Of claims
for the quartermasters' department. in Tennes-
see, and the substitution of honest residents.
The agents referred to are investigating
Tennessee claims against the United States
for property taken by the Union army during
the war. Under the act of Congress only
loyal claimants are paid, and On the average
not one tenth Of the amounts claimed is al
lowed. The solid-South Democrats, whose
claims would be rejected for disloyalty of claim
ants, naturally wish new agents, and, through
their congressman, recommend that they be
residents Of Tennessee! After the Democratic
fashion, they insult the faithful and honora-
BILE officers. who have done their duty respect
ing fictitious claims and claims of disloyal
people, by saying they want honest residents.
Tt would obviously save the United States
a good deal of tax money not to send Tennes-
see agents to investigate Tennessee claims,
and, therefore, not to look to ex-confederate
Tennessee congressman to recommend the
agents who are to investigate claims Of ex-
confederate constituents of such congress
men.
The word "honesty," applied to the kind of
Investigations which will be seen if this naive
suggestion of the Tennessee congressman is
adopted, will enter on stage of Kaleidoscope
variety If Mr. Cleveland or Secretary Endi-
colt get this thing clear in their minds, they
will settle two points in the interest Of the
United States and their party: /. Not
to send Southern Democrats to in
vestgate claims, nine-tenths of which
are presented by other Southern Democrats,
and are generally fictitious; especially not to
let the representatives of such ex-confederate
claims name the judges of their constituents
claims. 2. That honesty is Of supreme i'm
portance in such agents. and it will be diff
cult to replace these agents with others as
solid in this respect as the present corps Of
agents, which is the result Of many siftings
and selections They are faithful, competent
and reliable. The last Congress enacted that
any vacancies occurring among this corps
should not be filled, as the work of investiga-
ton is approaching completion. This applies
also to clerks working upon these claims. So
that it is probable the yearning for residents
to examine such claims cannot be gratifed,
even if the President cherishes it, and it is
evidently fortunate; but this particular form
of change desired in the South is worth noting
as dream of Reform.

SEVERAL of the trustiest and most faithful
clerks in the postoffice were yesterday mott

and after an examination, he stated that Jen-

was over the right ear, nearly four inches in
length, and presented very ugly appearance.
Ross afterward explained that when making the
stroke he noticed that Jenningss helmet slipped
forward and he eased the blow all he possibly
could. "else nothing would have prevented the
captains head from rolling to the ground" AS
it is, while murder outright has not

that a criminal death will be charged upon Ross.
