A bill has been introduced ia Con-
gross giving to the States of Delaware,
Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and
South Carolina having claims for money
expended in defence of the United
States during the war of 1872, the right
to have them adjudicated by the United
States Supreme Court. Delaware had
a hand in this work OF defence, aud
under the lead of General Saumel b.
Davis, made things very unpleasant for
the British fleet in front of Lewes. 1t
is not generally known what claims, IL
any, grew out OF this incident, but it
is presumed that If there are any in
existence those in possession of them
will not be slow in coming forward
should the government evince dispo-
aition to nav.
