WAR CLAIMS.

The Committee on w ar Claims, OF
which the Hon. GEO. W. GEDDEs, of
Ohio, is Chairman, seems destined to
be about the hardest worked commit
tee of the present House. Fully one
third of all the bills that are introduce
ed in the House are referred to that
committee. In round numbers there
has already been wagon load of bills
providing compensation tor losses by
private individuals during the war re-
ferred to that committee, and ten
wagon loads more are on the way.
A cursory examination of these bills
reveals the fact that most wonderful
state of affairs must have existed in
the South during the late war. 1t
would seem from the number and
character Of these bills, first, that
nearly the whole of the property own
ers Of the South are represented sec
ond; that the Union army must have
consumed enough to support and pay
all the armies of The world for at least
ten years; and third, that there really
could not have been any disloyal men
in the South during the war, for all
these bills are backed by the strong
est evidence that the claimants repre-
sented were all intensely loyal to the
United States during the war. One
therefore naturally wonders what
there was left for the Confederate
army to subsist upon after so much
had been taken by the Union armies,
and how they managed to keep the
field at all with such an overwhelming
public sentiment at home against
them as is represented by these bills.
The explanation seems to be that
some of the claimants aforesaid must
be mistaken as to the sentiments which
they entertained at the time when
their losses were sustained and posi-
bly, the lapse of time may have served
to cloud their recollection as to the
exact amount of such losses. 1t must
= =epembered that more than tweEEtty
years have elapsed, and it would not
be strange if some of them had con.
founded the sentiments which they en-
tertained in their younger days with
the devotion which they now feel fol
the cause of the old flag and an ap
preparation and it is just possible
that some Of them may have confused
the sum total of their losses with the
amount represented by their present
necessities or the natural desire inner
ent in the human mind for the acquis
ition of wealth All these questions
will have to be considered by the com
mittee, and it will be an herculear
task. OF one thing, however, the
country may rest assured, and that is
that the committee, constituted as it Is
will give no just cause OF complaint
and when the work is done the Repub
lican party viii have no new materia
for campaign thunder in the shape Q.
another howl about the payment of re
bel claims.
The SENTINEL thinks that all .just
claims should be paid. Every man
who sustained trif1inr loss during the
war now ended nearly quarter of a cen.
tury, must not think that he will have
his demands attended to because the
administration is Democratic. 1T ISM
that kind of am administration.

PINE STRAINS.

MANY of the farmers OF Dup1In
Sampson and Fender counties viii de-
vote more attention this year to the
cultivation of tobacco than they have
ever done before.
An Elizabeth City paper complains
that ga certain Democrat not thou
sand miles away received an appoint
ment of Postmaster of his town. and
forthwith ordered his paper stopped.
The Wilmington and Weldon r.
r. has 40 miles Of perfectly straight
track, and so nearly level that the
headlight of the engine may be seen
from one station to another, at night.
The appointment by the President
of Mr.. Thomas K. Bruner Of Salisbury,
n. c., as one of the Assay Commits
sioners to meet at the Philadelphia
Mint the 10th proximo, is regarded as
an admirable selection which is pleas
ing to the friends of the appointee.

A. No. L." It is regarded, as a vaIu-

be purchased by the government and
placed in the museum at Washington.
Seven lumber firms of Baltimore,
Nd, and Norfolk, Va, own over 1,0O0,-
100000 feet Of yellow pine timber in
four counties of Eastern North Carroll
ma, with about 120 miles of frst-class
logging railroads now in operation.
The extension of these roads will
double this year and merge into two
grand outlets at the seaboard near
Norfolk.-Econ0mist.
The gMasons will celebrate next
January (1SS7)the centennial of th cir
organization in North Carolina. The
celebration will take place in Raleigh,
and steps have been taken to make
the occasion interesting and impressive.
Grand Secretary D. w. Balm has the
original minutes of the organization
and first session of the Grand Lodge
at Tarboro in 1887.
The syndicate from Pennsylvania
who have purchased the Washington
and GAINESVILLE r. r. supposed to be
the same parties interestedssin the New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk r. r.,
contemplate extending the Road to
Buckland in Gates county and con-
Meeting with the narrow guage Road
from Suffolk and thence over the Nor
folk and Western Road to Norfolk.
But few people realize the fact that
the Murphy branch of the w. n. c.
r. R. is almost as long as the main
stem. The busy workmen have push
ed far into the heart of the Nantahala
mountains, and the train that now
leaves Asheville at 10 a. m. runs 102
miles before reaching its terminal
point at Jarrett's. In one year more
the road will probably reach Murphy,
thence to Atlanta, and then ours will
be great trunk line to New Orleans
and the South.-W aynespiAe Meas.

Northern syndicate, has bought Pied

THE RAIDS MUST GO.
An Old Fashioned Democrat Demands
a Complete Change.

EDITOR SENTINEL In the last
general election the Republican party
was defeated. 1t is natural to infer
that this defeat was owing to the fact
that the people were dissatisfied with
that party's management and conduct
of the Government, and thought it
was unworthy of being longer trusted
to their care.
It appears that some of our office
holders, such as Marshals, Collectors
and Postmasters have not thoughtful
" considered that the people expect
and demand this change, or certainly
they would not retain Republicans un-
der their charge.
Democratic officials is what the par
ty demands and what it is to-day call
ing for on every hand. They are dis.
satisfied with the order Of things. We
hear them constantly saying, Us il
not useless for us to vote to turn the
'rascals out if they are to be kept in
| Office whether or not? z"
Men, who in the last campaign were
1.-THE ring leaders and who waved The
Democratic flag and furthermore cried
for change in affairs are now hold
ing office, and not only that, but arr
| retaining Republicans under theil
ehaage. Is il not absurd; is it no
ridiculous and disgrace to our par

As is well known in North Carolina
and throughout the South, great
deal ofjewelry, silver ware, portraits,
paintings and valuable household
goods and relics were seized by Fede
raj soldiers during the war. Much of
this stuff was deposited inthe treasury
at Washington in June, 1869, and
Senator Butler has introduced a
bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to deliver it, or so much of
it as ownership can be properly prov
ed, to the owners.

the illustration of Southern progress,
alike in journalism and In business.
Such an issue before the war would
have been waste, but now industrial
progress is the guiding star of the

to the fore in the new departure. It
boldly discusses the new South, and il
is done by the generation that has
