ALEXANDRIA CLAIMs.-The recognition of
the French spoliatiOn claims as legitimate
causes of action against the United States In
the Court of Claims has led to very much inves-
tigation Of records by claim attorneys here,
as, at the time Of the capture OF American YES
sells by French cruisers, Alexandra was one Of
the principal commercial ports in the Union,
the town suffered greatly from these captures,
and more than one family was brought from
wealth to Indulgence by them. The records here,
however, have almost all been destroyed by
record of these ships, and the papers ON the
subject In nearly every case were given TO at
torneys more than seventy years ago. Some
Alexandria claims will, however, be substan-
tiated.

The Color Line in the District.

PETITION OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND
OTHER PROMINENT CoLORED MEN.
Mr. Ingalls, to-day presented I'm the Senate a
petition signed by g. F. Augusta, NJ D.; j. III.
Rainey, Fred. douglass, Jno. r. Francis, NJ D.,
Fred. Douglass, jr.; Lewis H. Douglass and other
colored residents of Washington, complaining
that they are denied privileges on account
of color, etc. The petition sets forth that in
considering bill to regulate licenses in the Dis
trict Congress should also consider the unjust
determinations existing against large portion
OF this community on account OF color in places
OF public entertainment, such as restaurants,
lunch rooms, ice cream saloons, theaters, steam
boat lines, etc" The petition declares that such
discrimination is Of wide notOriety and of daily
occurrence, and is within the personal expe-
rience Of almost every reputable colored citizen.
As instances a number of cases are referred to,
among them as follows:
John r. Francis and party denied refresh
ment at Jarvis. John w. Cromwell, editor
Peoples Advocate, refused state room on the
Lady of the Lake. Miss Sarepta Storum refused
Afiidavits from the parties named accom- panied
the petition setting forth their grievance.
The petition goes on To say that while many
bar-rO0ms cordially entertain colored citizens,
thereby making the purchase Of Intoxicating
liquors a matter OF easy attainment, while that
of light refreshment is denied.
''These insults and offenSes," continues the
petition, fare degrading to our manhood and
work a positive injury to the community, for
no part of the community can be unjustly dis
eliminated against without affecting the
whole
The petitioners ask that a provision be insert
ed in the license bill to prohibit and prevent
such Determinations. In presenting the dOcu-
ment. Mr.. Ingalls, said it was signed by men Of
The highest respectabiiity, and he suggested
should be prohibited and prevented The doc.
uments went to the District committee.

the bureau Of medicine and surgery. Navy de-
partment, was resumed I'm the Criminal Court,
Judge Macarthur, and District Attorney Worth
ineton closed his argument
After recess Judge Macarthur charged the
jury, saying that a bold robbery had been per-
Petrated but the question was as to who was
responsible. The principal witnesses were Car.
rlgan, who had already been convicted, and Nc
Laughlin. who had been tried and acquitted.
Carrisan's testimony should not be taken un.
less IL Is corroborated. The law however. per
mits his testimony TO be taken for what Il Is
worth, and the question is how much weight
would be given 1t That he has told the truth
generally as TO false vouchers there is little
DOUBT but the question was whether he did sc
