YOKOHAMA, June II. News OF a ter

COTTON SEIZED AND SOLD.
Twelve Million Dollnrs lii tho Troasar,
Holongtng to Private Citizens.

Twelve million dollars are in The
treasury awaiting the claims of right
full Ownersmen whose cotton was
seized after the war. Tho prosecution
of these claims is barred by q statute
of limitations specially passed, and dne
of the measures that was prepared put
not pressed at the present sessio,l Of
Congress was a bill for the repeaIof
the limitation act. Three New York
ers, one said to be the largest cotton
broker in the world, are back of The
scheme, and will press it at tho next
session Of Congress.
After the close Of actual hostilities
in 1866 cotton was seized throughout
the South and sold. Secretary Chase
was doubtful of theright Of the govern
ment to do this, and the Same doubt
ranked in the mind of William E.
Chandler, at that time acting secreta
ry of the treasury and now q Sen5tor
from New Hampshire. The doubt was
SO strong in Mr.. Chandler's mind that
he would not use the proceeds ofthe
sale, but organized division in The
treasury department which he called
the "Division of Abandoned Property
and Lands" which is still in existence.
lie then turned all of the proceedA Of
seized property, consisting of about
35, 600 bales Of cotton, great quantities
of tobacco, sugar and rice, together
with some turpentine, tar and rosins,
over to William j.. Noerr, chief ofthe
new division.

official in the New York Bankof Coin

proceeds of the sale of cottO0 taken by
United States troops. When Lamar
secured his verdict Of 100000, Robert
O. Schenck, of Ohio, late Minister to
the Court of st. James, was chairman
of the committee on ways and means.
on the treasury by holders of claims,
he introduced bill creating q F s'atute
of limitations, thus barring the ),rose.
cution of this class Of claims,
In this way the money has rent med
in the treasury. 1t has been invested
in the United States bonds, and now
amounts TO the enormous sum Of
$4,000, 900. Outside of four or five
Southern Senators, it is doubtful if
any one knows the true situation.
The legislation which the New York
syndicate wants passed is very simple.
1t consists of q five line resolution re-
pealing the statute of limitations
against these claims, and allowing
them to be scnt to the United States
Court Of claims for adjudication. u.
