Few poreons acquainted with the nature and pressure of claims professing to be entitled to consideration under this award, will leave Wash- ington withont expressing the wish that Con- gress will divert the whole of it from the host of greedy and litigious damage-seekers. Few of them were net losers ; in many cases, the claims have been put into a pool, and a'Stock Company organized upon them; in others, a shyster- attorney or claim-agent has gone over the coun- try stirring up u litigious feeling, and securing’ the agency of a quantity of claims at 60 per cent on what he recovers. With two or three millions of such claime, he ca:. take & capitalist into busi- ness with him,—the latter paying the bills for printing, bribery, office-rent, ete. WEAT WAS DONE WITH FRENCH CLAIMS. The Government has already established a precedent, in the claims of commerce for French spoliation, that it will not undertake to pay money to individuals out of a gross sum re- ceived of a foreign nation under provisions of treaty. Anybody who wishes to see the speeches of Silas Wright, Benton, and Webster upon this question, can find them in the firs volume of Benton's * Thirty Years." g ‘Webster acted for the vessel-holders, shippers, and privateersmen of Boeton; Wright and Ben- ton denounced the awarding of damages to indi- vidual claimants by Commissioners or otherwise. The French claims, so called, were for veseels and cargoes seized by the French between 1793 and 1800. The French never explicitly recog- nized these claims, except to offset them with others; but, by the treaty under_which France sold Louisiana, ehe abated 20,000,000 francs of the purchase money (or smoo.ouug, to adjust and pey claims for captures, supplies, and em- bargoes, by which American citizens were suf- ferers. A host of_claimants at_once appealed to Con- gress. In 1802 and 1807, & Committee of Con~ gress eported favorbly 1o peving them. ' Ia 835, the Senate passed s bill giving, £5,000,000 to such claimants ; but the House defeated it They centinued to importune the two Houses even down to the breaking out of the Rebellion; loafers, and vagabonds, and listless eons of men grew up expectant on these claims. Insurers, assignees, jobbers, and agents strained their wits and ran off their legs abont them. But Benton showed that, during the period in_ques- tion, men made fortunes if they eaved one ship in four or five from the French cruisers ; and the rame can_be shown to have been the case during_tho Rebellion, when transports com- manded enormous hire, and our great shippers forsook the sea voluntarily to take army con- tracts and minnfacture and sell supplies. _Ima- gino Vanderbilt,. the King of the Ses, losing snything by the war, or any shipbnilder who Luilt a monitor, or any importer, or any sea- captain. INSURANCE CLADIS. As to ineurance claims, here is a pithy extract from Benton's speech : **One of the most revolting features of this Eill 18 its relations to the insurers. The most infamous and odious act ever passed by Con- gress was the Certificate-Funding act of 1793,— an ect passed in favor of a crowd of specula- tors; but the principle of this bill is more odious than even it. Imean thatof paying insurers for their losses. The United States, eir, insure! Can anything be conceived more revolting and atrocious than to divert the the funds of the Treagury to such iniquitous uses? It would be far more just and equitable if Congrees were to meure the farmers and planters, and pay them their losses on the failure of the coiton crop; they, sir, are more entitled to put forth such clsime than speculators and gamblers, whose {rade and businees is to make money by losses.” » A SUGOESTION. : This money would nearly or wholly build a ship-canal from Lake Erie to Ontario, and make sll the Western cities European ports; or it would widen the Erie Canal, and make the West- ern farmers more independent of railroads. In either case, it*would be money applied to restor- ing our commerce. % THE WASHINGTON CLAIM AGENT. : Apropos of this speech of Benton, 1 may re- vive a paragraph pertinent to our period, upon the Inordinate number of mousers and runners from all parts of the Union who subsist here by lobbying claims through the Departments and Congress, Said Benton s * There ought to be. eome limit to thess presentations of the same claim. Itisngame at which the Government has no chance. Claims become stronger upon age,—gain double strength upon time,—often directly by newly-discovered evidence,—always indirectly by the loss of adversary evidence, and by the death of contemporaries. “ Two remedies are in the hands of Congrees : One to break up_claim-agencies by allowing 1o claimto be paid to an agent; the other, to break up speculating zssignments, by allowing no more to be received by an assignee than he has actually paid for ths cluim. * Aesignees and agenta are now the great pre- genters of claime against the Government. They constitute a profession,—a new one,—Tes- ident at Washington City. Skilful and persever-- ing, acting on eystem and in phalanx, they are entirely an overmatch for the succession of new members, who come ignorantly to the conaider-. ation of the cases which they have 8o well dresscd up. “It would be to the honor of Congress and the protection of the Treasury to institnte a searching examination into the practices of these agents, to ses whether any undue means are used to procure the legislation they desire.” Mr. Beoton did not then’ know that_the time would 2ome wheo the President’s brother-in-law would become & claim-jobber in Washington, Angj Congressmen ard Heads of Departments ag well.

Forney was in the city two days ago, and calied upon, the President. The second TUlyeses is better described where he figures in “Trojlus and Cressida,” than in Homer. Inthe third act of that ghy, he speaks 23 follows, probably to some Judge Dent or Casey of the period : The Providence that’s in a watchful state, Enowa almost every grain of Plotus’ gold ; Finda bottom in ths uncomprebentive decps; Andisa myntggd;;n’fln whom relation Durst never ireekish girls shall tripping sing: ‘His fame the “Great Hoctor’s sister did Achilles win!"

He reid he was perfectly essy in Ki3 mind, and inti- mated that_he would be elected, ag'if only he Ead shoutcd aye, and Echo dropped the ballot. Forney's paper has now the largest circulation it ever attained, and proportionate business. 1t is the leading journal of Philadelphia, and the Colonel eays that he has received st lezst ten subscribers to ons donkey demurring. The old Democracy ‘which read the Press in1857 are back in forco, while the small sums received by papers liko the Evening Telegraph to scll ont to Cameron are zlready spent in unavailing at- tempts to purchase self-respect.

William Young & Cos’s Operations Since June Lasts They Have Had a Monopoly of the Perk Business Since July. Cincinnati, Milwaukse, St. Louis, Etc,. Send 60,000 Barrels to this City. Effect of the Cormer on Trade---The Packers Demoralized, Host of our réaders are familiar with the fact since, took rather stringent action in regard to “corpers” on produce. The persistent recur- rence of corners in wheat and other graius, since the fire, caused & considerable revulsion of feel- ing on the part-of many of the prominent mem- bers, and, after much cogitation, they metand induced the Board to pass resolutions which it was thought would be an efficient bar on corners in the future. Subsequent events have shown that the Board of Trade of the City of Chicagois not entitled to greater credit than the Parliament of Great Britain, about which Lord Brougham is currently reported tohave said that they never yet passed an act through which he conld not drive & coach and eix horses at full speed. We bave at the present time, and have had for three months past, 8 corner in pork of the most gi- gantic proportions. : Bometime in the month of June last, the firm of William Young & Co., of this city, recently arrived from Milwaukee, commenced buying up all the pork that was offered in the market, os- tensibly for Canadian parties. During the month of July, it became apparent that a corner was in progress, as their purchases were all made for August delivery, and long before the end of July they had a practical monopoly of all the pork in thecity. When thoss who had sold shork to them became eatisfied that there was nug chance of buying pork here, they sent letters to other cities, asking the price of pork there, and, asa result. there were soon visitors here from Cin- cinnati, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Covington, and other smaller pork.packing points, wanting to learn how muck they could get for pork to be delivered here ; and soon the different railroads leading to this city from fhose points were weighted down with pork tobe delivered to ‘William Young & Co. Itis calculated that not Jeas than 60,000 barrels, in_the aggregate, cams here from other points, which at $12.%5 2 barrel, would give a totdl of nearly 3750,000 - worth of pork {hrown upon this market, in addition to the greater portion of 147,000 barrels that were manufactured here last winter. This reversal of the ordinary movement of trade was natu- rally attended with considersble excitement, and our readera will remember one of the prom- inent iacidents—the expulsion from the Board of Trade of the well-known J. Brooks Johnson, for alleged improper conduct in connection with alot of 1,300 barrels of pork'sent here from Cincinnati. But Mesers. Young & Co. took all the pork that was offered, and paid for it, which, to say the least, was something unusual in the history of our produce cormers. They are entitled to the credit of baving paid for all they agreed to receive thus far, and, in this respect, have set an exemplo which might be emulated by others whose names are familiar to the public. It may be added that most of the money is believed to bave come di- rect from Canads, though there are many people in the trade who do not believe the statement :pzt the pork has been bought for Canadien par- ies. The result has been, as is usnal in corners, to demoralize the trade. Instead of baving an zc- tive trade in provisions for three mon ast, thera hes been scarcely a traneaction, and the majority of our brokers would be literally starv- ing it they were not living upon the proceeds of their past earnings. The fifty or more provision brokers in this city, though they have not lost much money on their own account by trades made with William Young & Co., are really tho most vexed class of men, becauso it_has taken awsay from them what they expected would be & profitable trade, and, more than that, it has demoralized the packing buainess of the season thus far, and may do so for many months in the fature. Those who have made a careful cao- ‘vass of the situation, conclude that there are not less than 90,000 barrels of pork now in_this city, and the number may be nearer 100,000 barrels, of which about 60,000 have come from other points instead of being absorbed by the con- sumptive demand which naturally flows to those places. We ought, at this season of the year, 10 have not more than 10,000 or 15,000 barrelsat the most in stock, instead or six or eight times s much. As 2 consequence of this immense stock, our local speculators are afraid to trade, and parties outside, who have hitherto employed brokers to buy aod sell E:xk for them on speculstion, are algo afraid to ve anything to do with it, while the packers have not yet mude up their minds whether or not to pack mexs pork the coming sezson to any considerable extent, In the meanwhile, it is ramored that Mesara. Young & Co. have made _arrangements to ship out this pork to Canada, afrai offer it on_ the New York market, for fear of its réflex action on prices hero. They are reported to be “long” yet to the extent of abont 42,000 barrels, having bought that much which has not yet been delivered ; and for that reason they have recently put up the price to §15 per barzel, being an advance of 50 cents on tho rate which for two months fimvmua!y. They are also reported to 2ve bought eome, 7,000 or 8,000 barrels of pork for December delivery, at $12.50 and $12.75 per barrel, for the purposd’ of enabling them to got rid of their old pork st profit; it is under- stood to have averaged them $12.10 a barrel, and they think they will Le able to prevent tho manufaciure of mess pork to any considerable - extent before the close of the ycar, s0_that they can realize handsomely umpon their December purchases. The most awkward phase.in the business is the check which it will give to the packing oper- ations during the coming winter. It is well | kmown that, for several years past, mess pork has gradually become ~more a speculative article, as = consumers, both _in Europe and in our lumbering regions, and even down South, prefer meats to mess pork, 8o_that pork is searcely salable atany paying price to the packer in many sections which formerly used to consume nothing in the shape of hog- meat but pork. With so much old tgl:)fl{ sfaring them in the face, it is no wonder that our packers should be afraid to arrange for Decking msss pork o & large scalo this winter, sepe ially 2 the demand for consumption is steadily diminishing. And this brings an item of insecurityin regard to the price of meats, which is equally detrimental to trade. Of conrse, if the live_hogs coming to this city should be turned into cut meats and lard, the amount of production of cut meats would be 8o Ilargely in excess of that of any former year as to material- ly influenco prices. is is felt by European buyers, and they ere very tardy in taking hold, asthey have done in former years, when they bought & large proportion of the season’s pack- ing before Christmas. For this rcason parties who are cenvassing the packing situation look upon it with a very gloomy eye, seeing nothing of profit in it this winter, as thoy are afraid that $he markot will be loaded down with hog product to an oxtent that will make- it scarcely posaible for them to realizo cosb price, especially with the high cost-of labor, salt, and cooperage now | Ths managers of the corner in pork claim that they have done & good thing for Chicago, aad especially that they bave becn the means, not only of bringing 2 large amount of. capital here tobeused in holding pork, but that the pork brought here from other cities has realized from 87,000 to 8,000 a month in storago alone, which would not have beon paidto Chicago property- holders but for their interference. ey claim also that they have succeeded in securing to holders of pork in thig and other cities_larger grices for_their property than they would have een peid if they had wot underiaken to control the market. There is‘ undoubt- edly some truth in _these state- ‘ments, . yet it is oqually without doubt that the barm wronght by their proceed- ings is much greater than the good they have done. They have succeeded in paralyzing the trade toa large extent, inflicting a collective loss of not less than several hundreds of thou- gands of dollars upon the provision-dealing com- munity, and it will be singuler if they do not yet add another ingfsnce to the many already re- corded of parties who lose themselves in at- tempting to make money by running corners on other people. That euch & loss is imminent is spparent when it is considered that pork for that the Board of Trade of this city, sometimo’ - British December delivery canbs bought in this market: for £12.50 a b whilo they are now holding: their pork at 315. The moment new porkie placed upon the market in sufficient qusntities 10 meet the consumptive demand, either the old pork must come down to the price of the new, or the new must riso to the price of the old; that is, the present addition of $2.50 a bar- el must vanish. It cannot be sustained longer then another week or two ot furthest. It is ex- tremely unlikely that the new pork will sell for more than at present ; if not, then the price of the old must be rednced, leaving the prosent holders but forty cents s barrel, which will just psy tha cosi of storage for five months, leaving a dead loza to the extent of the interest on the cost of carrying, insurance, brokerage, and other cx- penses. b & It was ascortained, yesterday, that Young &: Co, are offering pork in small lotsin other cities, and sending back pork to the places whence it came, paying the freight both ways, and hand- ling-charges, for the luxury of being able to run & **corner” in Chicago. HORRIBLE CRIME." A Fother Cutrages His Own Daughter, and Then Commits Suicide. From the Waverly (Iowa) Independent. . The people of Dayton and Frarklin Townships are greatly excited over a fearful crime and tragic end of the guilty man. John Corkery, the victim end transgressor, has been a resident of Dayton Townehip for severel years, He was an honest, industrious citizen, using able meane: to secure & living for his family. About eight: months ago, hid'wife died, leaving a young babe 2nd six other children to the care of Corkery. The femily got along as well as counld be expected under the circumstances. The woman of the house was his eldest girl, who was about 15 years of of age. She took charge of the homsehold affairs and the yonnger children. A short time ago, Corkery procured the arrestof Mrs. San- ders on the charge of enticing awsy his daugh- ter for the purpose of prostittion. The Jus- tice, after hearing the evidence, discharged the defendant. Corkery then had W. P. Sanders ar- .rested for the crime of seducing his daughter. When brought to the stand, the girl refused to swear falsely, and told her father she would not swear to a lie for him or any other person. Corkery taok her aside during the sitting of the Court, and told her that she was not sworn ac- cording to the rules of the Church, and it would not be perjury for her to swear against Sanders. The Justice dismissed the case against Sancers, 28 it was perfectly clear that it was & malicious ‘prosecation by Corkery. Corkery then entered into an arrangement to have the priest take the %:rl away, for which: Corkery was to pay $130, but for some_cause she was not taken away. Inthe meantime, it was apparent that the girl was en ciente, and something must be done. Corkery took the irl and started for the residence of Charley ooper. When they had got near the Wapsie River, he seized her by the throat and swore_he would kill her nnless she would swear the crime against & man, whom he should name. She re- fused, and succeeded in getting away from him. She made her way to some men who wers near by at work.
