THE FRENCH spoliAr,on CLAIMS.

The French .pollatlon claims, II the
House doe. u. duty by them, as ha. the
senate under ih. abl. leadership of sem
a,or Hale. ARE at last likely Ia bc paid
and thu. q long deferred act of Justice be-
performed which will reflect credit on
those Who hay. so long aud so ably In
sisted upon u. senator Hale, who's.
capacity "to do things" In matier. of
practical legislation u proyerblai, has
.ucceoied In Inducing the senate to In
corporate the claims In an appropriation
bill 80 that no tactic. In the House can
prevent the latter body from coming to
vote upon them; then, II Maine does
ne we'll In the Iiouse-as Who can doubt
that she willt-as she has done In the
senate, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars will come Ia this state In settle
ment of Just demands for which scores
Of families have waited In want with the
sickness aud despair of hope deferred.
The vote In the senate 90 Ia IL Was q
decisive one and q great triumph for
those anxious that this simple act of JUS
ticc should he performed. while IL i.a
matter of regret that senators Edmunds
and Plumb should have opposed, u IL
quite satisfactory that they were unable
to get many senators Ia stand by them.
These claims have been before Con-
gre.. for more than eighty years, and.
though always encountering more or
lee. opposition on one ground or another.
reports favorable 10 them have been pre-
senied by some of the ablest men In Con-
gre.s. senator fessendcn once urged
their satisfaction In a most exhaustive
effort. Successfully running the gaunt-
let Of both Houses la two Congresses,
they have been vetoed twice, once by
President Polk, and again by President
Pierce. so many citizens Of Maine are
aud always have been Interested In this
matter, that, as was quite natural, the
representation In Congress from this
State has generally been active In efforts
to secure the payment. In the 18th
Congress senator Frye reported q bill In
their favor, sending them To the court OF
claims under the act Of January ~, lssS.
Since then both Senators Hale aud Frye
have been untiring In their efforts for
them; and now senator Hale may Justly
be congratulated In 80 successfully con-
ducting them through the Senate by .
vote so large a. to furnish strong con-
armation oi the Justice Of settling them.
Democratic Houses have opposed the
payment and have thrown them out.
hut Il IL not 10 be expected that the
present House will fall to follow the lead
Of the senate. The senators from
Maine, having done their full duty In the
premises, there can be no doubt that her
able Representatives In the House will
see To Il that failure does not result from
the fault Of that body.-pOrtiand Ex-

LONDON, July 16 1T may interest Ameri-
cans to know that according to the de-
velopments Of a recent case Of brigandage
in Italy, Italian brigands are so thor
oughly organized that should a member
Of one Of the bands prove unfaithful he
would be followed even to America and
put 10 death. Senor Arrigo, who a short
time ago was carried off by brigands and
ransomed for 100000 francs, states that
while under guard in grotto he suggested
to the brigand left in charge that he would
give him much more than his share Of the
ransom to allow him to escape, and that
the brigand couldthereupon fly to America.
The guard replied that he would willingly
accept the proposition, only that even ia
America be would be found aud killed.
