THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 15 350,000,000, Tho Aggrogate of Southern War= Claims Already Pre= sented, Ezclusive of All Claims for Depreda- tions Committed by Our - Troops, 0t for Damnges Inflioted by tha Confed- eraoy upon Loyal Citizens, or for Emancipated Blaves} o 1ud in Addition to the Sonthern Demand, Darlag One Session of Congress, of $300,¢ 000,000 for Internal-Im- provements, Tho Grand Speonlation of the Ag A Bill with Tremendous Consegnences. New ¥ork Tribune, Aug. 11. Below will be tound a eareful clnssification of Bouthern clafms, contalning much new matter @hich the tax-payioz North will not God reas- suring readlog, From this classification are ex- cluded all clatms for depredations commitied V5 our troops, or fur damages inflicted by the Contederate Government upon loyal citizens, or for emuncipated slaves: or. io other words, the demands which form s large proportion of what are usually known 83 Southern clalms. The computation groups together the claims for the refund of the cotton tax, lor property selzed aud sold under the Captured and Abandoned Property act; for cotton selzed contrary to law for stores aud supplies,—and under this head comea great horde of disloyal claimonts who were given an equal standing In the courts with loyal clalmants by President Johnson's prociamation as interpreted by the SBupreme Court; for rent of bLulldings and lands occupied in the Rebel territory; for property deliberntely destroyed or damaged as o mifitary pecessity; and for slaves cnilsted nto the Umon army from the border Btates. And the total sum demasuded under thess seven classes fs, ut the very lowest cstlinate, $350,000,000. Let it be remembered that this fs only o partinl represcutation of Southern War-claluis; that it meludes none. for depredations vommitted by our troops. Let It be remembercd olso, that, in nddition to all this, the Soutt bas glready demanded, durine 8 single ston of Congress, nsbout $300,000,000 for faternnl Improyements.

This geotlemon divides the Bauthern war-clalins into soven classes, which -hodascribes a4 follows: fie COTTON—HUGAR—TOBACCO. 1.

But the argument chictly relied upon to seeures o refund of this taxis, that it swos o dlseriminating tax taid upon an agriculte ural product in its notural state, and most un. justin is operation becunse, the price of raw votton belug regulated at Liverpool, the tax fell wholly upon the producer, The amount {nvolv- ed f8 abont 850,000,000, aud the claims are chiefly lield or coutroiled by o syudicate formed ubout elghit years ago, by whom the agitation In Congress hos been maintafued, The motives whtety led to the fmposition of this tax were fouud fn the desire to puy olf & portlon of the cuormous debt which had been lolt as a lagacy of the War, To this end the industrics of thy North sere belng taged to their utmost capnel ty, while the Bouth was contributivg nothing, either to the support of the Govermment or tho paymeut of the public debt, All fndustrics tn the South cxeept agriculture had been pros- tuted, and tho special tax which was pluced upon cotton wuas thought to be the leust oppressive which coulil be devised to wive that scctlon u sinall ahare of thoe burden tor the existencs of wiiich 1t alone was responslble, Nothinr ean now bu uriced 1o support of these clulins which was not appurent at the time the nx wur fuposed; wnd the ouly wround upon which the clatuunts can hopu to recover I8 found he auticipated chiange fu public sentiment {a- Yoruble to the Bouth, 2.

'The timo Ior tlling such petitions explred Aug. 89, 1808, and has never been extended. As most of thie owners of uroperty svized and suld under the acts weru tn faut disioyal during the War, they did not avall themsclyes of the right of Cpetition to the Court of Cluing, Dut, after the time bhad ex- pired for presenting their claims, the Bu- vreme Court declded that the President’s gen- erol amnesty procianation of Dec, 25, 1588, re- nuved the taint and qisabity of disloyalty rom every™ody who had supported the Rebell- fon; and “.nces belated clahmanta bave ever sluce besu clamoring to be admitted to thelr rights uuder the swmnesty-proclamation.

Partial retief has been afforded to the holders of theso clatme; but what has becu tlone. bears only a small ratlo to what is wanted, Persona who were loyal, and have heen able to submit roof of that- fact, have had, through he Bouthern Claims Commission, an smple avenus for the preferment and catabiishment of thelr ~clalins azainst the Government; and it Is probable that the majority of this class of claims have alrcady been pald, Those who were dirfoyal in fuct, but who bave been renovated by the general amuesty, have not yet been allowed to recover anythivg, and they arc among the most persis- tent and foudest ‘of the cinsscs which are now clamoring for 8 standing before Congress or the Courts, Any estimate of the amount of theee clatins 1s neccssarily loose; but, as the clalm- ants’ means of proof bave strengthened, and the Qovernment's means have weakened, by 1apse of time, any levislation of the kind de- sired by clatmanta’ will take from the Treasury 200,000,000 at the least. 5. Claims for reut of_butldinge, wharves, and lands, occupled by the United States {n the in- surrectionary districta during the War, Tho Federal autharitics, bemz hainpered by no con- tracts, and having no rent to pay, were quite free {n nppropriating private bufldings and lavds to the publicuse. No rellel of any sort hns been granted to the claimants of this clasa, They were, with rare exceptions, disloyal to the Government, and no precedent exiats for the payment of such claims. ‘Che cinitns are, how- ever, numerous, and are yigorousiy pushed by thelr agents. Tt would Drobably take 820,000, 00 to pay them, even under rigid scaling of prices. ; 8. Clalms for property destroyed or damaged in a deliberate and orderly manuner by compe. tent authority, as a mititary necessity on the part ofathie United States, in furtherance of the opcratlona of the Federal forces, or in obstiuc tion of the operations of the enemy. There are no neans of getting very clouel{ at the amount of such clalms, but they would hardly go below 1,000,000, 7. Claima for slaves cnlisted into the Federal army from the loyal border Btates, and onl partly settled when proveedings were suspend- ed Ly act of March 80, 1867, ‘These claims, from a strictly legal point of view, arc amoniz the most moritorious which have yct been vrd- duced. They are numerous, but of small amount, and probably do not amount to more than 80,000,000, AN EXORMOUS AGGREGATE. The foregolni enumeration takes no account of clalms for the value of slaves emancipated o8 war-incasure or under the Constitutlonal Amendment: claims for loss or damage causcd Ly the depredatiofis of tho troups or the cos- ualties of the march or battle, aud claims for the spohation or damage indicted by the Con- federate nutnorities or forces upon loyal citl- zens of the South. Leavine all such out of thelr reckoning, It appears that the dentands upon the Treasury on nccount of whut are called ¢ Southern clatns " amount to nof. less than $850,000,000, and may amount to much more. Take, for iustance, the clabins for property used for mllitary purposes, as distinet from the cotton, rent, and damage clalme, Within two years, ander a law and procedure calling for a positive averment of constant loyaity, 22,000 clalms, footing up $V0,000,000, were filed before tho Southern Clalms Commisslon. It {s esti- mated that, it the avermeut and strict proofl of lo,vnl‘t,‘y were not exacted, the clalmas presented would be at least 120,000 in number, footing up $400,000.000; for it s to by re- membered that it was the disloyal who wero the most obulent and contributed most largely to the enforced suppor’ of the Federal armies, Now, nllowing o deduction of one~ third in amouot for {alse, exaggerated, and mis- taken demands, 1t follows that thers would be over $200,000,000 in this class alone to puy, If roof of actual loyaity was not required, and if t‘hc Government should be held hable to pay “‘market value” for all property taken.

To the Lditor of The Tritune, AxX Anvon, Mich., Aug. 12.—~Many, If not all, of the Natfonal newspapers and spenkers include the 7.00 Treasury notes in thelr state- weuts of the smount of legal-tender puper cur- rency in cireulation from 1564 to 18643 and even Mr. Fawcett, in s book on * Goid and Debt,” speaks of those notes as legal-tenders, and refers to the acts of June 80, 1804, and March 3, 1805, as sustolning his view of the question, 1t fa vot strange that the Natlonals ehould fall into this error, for they scem to bo desperately determined, for some reason or other, to prove that tho legul-tender paper circulation in 1865 was immeusely greater than It is to-day, and the {gsucs of 7.80 notes baving reached the vast sum of over $S00.00(,000, it affords them fu- tense joy to moke it appesr that these milllons uf notes were o legul-tender, But it Is quite remarkable that Mr. Fuweett should make such n mistake, The maked auestion ns to whothier they wore u legal-tender or not §s not a very lmportaut ane, perbaps, but it Is at least interesting as all historleal questions aro inter- eating, & ‘('ho 7.90 notes were fssued under authority of 1ho acts of June 80, 1864, and Muorch 8, 1805, ‘The secoud section of the tormer act provided, sibstantlully, that tha Becretury of the Treus. ury mignt lksue, ou the eredit of the United Btutes, as purt of the Joan sathorfzed by sakd uet, not exceeding $300,000,000 fn ’l‘runm:’y nutes of any denvwitnation vot less than 810, payable ac uny time not esceeding three years from date; or, if thought more expedient, sedeemablo at suy tine after three yeurs from date, und bearing finterest not exceed- ing the rate of 7.8 ver cent, payable {n lawful mioncy ot maturity, or, ut the discretion of the Seeretary, sumiannually; salt notes to bo dis- posed of by the Seeretiary on the best terms obe tainable for lawful moncy, “and such of them as shiall bo made payable, principal and {nterest, at maturity, shall be a legal-tender to the same extent us United Btates notes,” ete. Thus it sovears that fL was at the option of the Sevre- tary of the Treasury to fssus the notes with ju- terest pavable at taturity, or payable semni-un- nually, and olf such as were pavable, privcival aud futerest, at maturity should b a lewal- tender, und no others.” The fact {s, that all of the 7.20 nates nuthorized by this uet were miudo payable thres years from Aug. 15, 1864, with semi-annual coupons attached, The inferest was yuvable semi-ahnu- ally, not ot msturity; thercfore snioue of themn werg i legal teuder. In the Jutter purt ol his bouk Mr. Faweett gives what purports Lo bo the substance of the sctond rection of this it contains nothing In rogand (o tho dlscee ol th Secretary to make the fiuterest payublo ut maturity or 11y, Tlns ~ omisston would seem to Bee. 3 ol 1h i, 1883, express! provides that creln contained shall ie construed os suthonzing the {ssue of legal- tender notes in any form.” ‘This 1 plain and pusitive. Certainly it cunnot be said, In the face ol this decluration, that any of the totes lssucd utder authority of this wet were n legul-tender, 1t is very apparent that Mr. Faweett did wot study securacy In preparing his work; and it le ciuully sppurcut, from this snd other evidence, that the Natlonal pupers and orators study to uvold sceuracy fu the discusslon of financial questions, Rurus FLeMing, THE INSURANCE ON THE WASHBURN MILL, 8pecial Dispateh to The Tribune, * MinxgaroLis, Mun, Aug, H.—Ex-Gov, Waahbuen, of Wisconsin, has Just returued here after having visited the oflicers of the varlous insursuve compantes which had risks upon his great fouring-mill destroved on the 24 of May last, Tle has completely broken down tho com- bination entered {uto Ly the “adjusters' of many of the Companics to deprive bt ot Lis insurauce, Al the New England, Now York, ow Jersey, aud most of the Oblo’ Companles have pald In full, wod tu the most honurable wauger. ‘The Compunies whoss sgeots in Chi- eagzo touk rlsks, aud which have been sucd thers 1 the Unlted States Court, will be proceeded ayalnat betors tho Auditor of the State of Tl nots, for the purpuse of cooipelling them to put up additional sseuritics tu reapoud Lo suy Judg- 1aent that way be ubtsived aguinst them, e — +'Buperlor” Civilisstion.

THOSE WESTERN LANDS. “There aro n good many, thinge,” sald I, ' shout the estate that no one can explain as well as yourself, Mr. Cooke, and If you eare to answer a few questions 1 think that many of the creditors would be pleased.

The new plan contemplates the grouplng into one fund of sl the Western aud other lands, the Ogontz proj mnf-. and many other largze propertics, and all bonds and stocks re- matmng, which could not be casily subdivided in any other way.
