The Alabama Claims Court Accounts. WHAT MR. CRESWELL SAYS ABOUT THEM AND ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF THE PRESENT OB- GANIZATION OF THE COURT. ASTAR reporter to-day called upon ex-Post- master General Creswell, counsel of the court of commissioners of Alabama claims, for some in- formation on his side of the question in relation to the suspension of his salary by the first con- trollerof the Treasury. Gen. Creswellexpressed himself as willing to give any information within his power. He first referred to a pub- lshed paragraph stating that his pay would be stopped and held in tho Treasury to re- imburse the government for improper expenditures made through his office. “Tha item,” he said, “intimates that Controller Dut ham ‘has held back my pay to meet certain un- lawful disbursements of the court. Now, I have nothing more to do with the disburse- ments thay you have. {have never disbursed ‘2 dollar of the funds of the court. On the con- trary, all that I have done has been to engage, under direction of the court, a sufficient num- ber of gentlemen, of respectable standing in the legal profession, to supervise the taking of testimony in behalf of the government and to gonduct ‘the necessary cross-examinations. This I have done on terms prescribed by the court. Atthe end of each quarter the gentle- men S0 engaged have made out their accounts, giving specifically the day and case wherein thetr services were rendered, and they trans mitted these accounts to the disbursing officer of the court, who is designated by the State de- partment for that duty, after which these ac- counts have been sent to my office, and filer careful senfiny and correction they have been returned to the disbursing offi- cer, approved as to their correctness, The disbursing officer bas then submitted the same to the presiding, justice with Statements, in detall, of the names. of the parties and the amounts submitted, which statements have been approved by the presiding justice, and then all the accounts, with the Statements approved, have been forwarded to the Secretary of State, to be audited and paid in accordance with law. It 1s, therefore, ap- parent that all I have had to do with these ac- counts was to see that they were faic and just and that they trated no imposition or overcharge on the court or the fund. I repeat that I never disbursed one dollar of the fund. never claimed or exercised any authority so to 0. “In rd to the allegation that the court is not legally organized,” continued Gen. Cres- well, “all I desire to say is that the court was recommissioned, reconfirmed by the Senate and duly qualified upon the re-establishment of the court, and that two of the judges, being a majority of the court, have been newly ap- pointed, confirmed and qualified since the last act of Congress extending the court, Hence, there can be no reflection in law or fact upon the present authority of the court as organ- ese AL pape Peeters in he papers of the position of Jude Durham,first spacer hanna ae aes Paani Southern: nsas.

He is expected here, however, this week, it well enough to make the journey, when steps will be taken to show a complete justification of the court for all the expenditures which have been made. The court has toiled unremittingly and has used every legitimate means in its power to accomplish the work imposed upon it within the time pre- scribed by law. ‘ithin the last year it has dis- posed of about 2,300 cases, many of them in- volving large amounts, and the interests of a great many parties.

When the yachts were under sail, and were beating toward the Hook, the Puritan Was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, Nor were the friends of the Genesta wanting in en- thusiasm. There was increasing excitement, and the ‘betting, which had begun to flag, be: came brisk. Large odds were offered on the Paritan. Getting Ready for the Start.
