WASHINGTON, March 28-Evening.
On the 2Gth instant, which was the last
day upon which claims ooald be filed
before tho British and American Claims
Commission, unless by permission, in
each cuso for cause shown, a very largo
number of memorials were presented.
421 British claims were filed ap to that
dato-more than half of them being
filed last week. At the session to-day,
fifteen additional claims have been filed.
It is thought that the number, including
all claims on both sides, will amount to
about 500. The American claims num?
ber eighteen only. There were no deci?
sions made to-day, and the Commission
adjourned over until the Sd of next
month. The office of the secretary will
be ocoupied for some time in getting the
olaims properly arranged and docketed,
and the memorials printed. It is under?
stood that the Commission will soon ad?
journ until September, and that during
that month the sessions will be held at
Newport, B. I. Since the Commission
was organized, eleven cases have been
finally disposed of, out of which only
one was favorable to tho claimant-that
being the first case on tho docket. The
amount of the award was $620.
In the Senate, the Committee on Post
Offices agreed to report a bill increasing
the China mail subsidy to $1,000,000.
. In the House, the bill for tho depot of
the Baltimore and Potomao Bailroad, in
Washington, aud tho Pennsylvania Cen?
tral vs. the Baltimoro and Ohio Hoad,
was np. Efforts at compromise, failing,
the minority resorted to fillibustering,
when the House adjourned to Monday,
when, it is expected, the Pennsylvania
Central will triumph by a two-thirds
vote.
In the Sonate, a bill Bottling certain
land titles on tho boundary between
Georgia and Florida passed. Tho tariff
was up, and a vote will probably bo en?
forced to-night.
LATER.-The tariff bill is substantially
settled, with freo tea and coffee. An
amendment is now pending to abolish
all internal tax except on whiskey,
tobacco, &o.
The Herald's Washington special on
Louisiana offairs says, while Pinchback
is making every effort for peace, some of
tho members of the party are very reck?
less in their doolarations, and the friends
of Warmouth boast that they have more
*' money patronage in Louisiana than the
President bas throughout the United
States. They name among this boasted
patronage 200 offices, paying $10,000 a
year, and fifty offices-tax collectors
paying $12,000. They have the appoint?
ment of registers and managers of elec?
tions, and say that while they will not
count fraudulent votes in their favor,
they will not count fraudulent votes cast
against them.
The Attorney-General bas advised that
tho sontenoe of twenty-nine Monroo
County (Mississippi) prisoners, who
pleaded guilty to Ku Kluxism, bo sus?
pended.
A Treasury circular, issued to-day, re?
vokes tho previous order legarding fog
horns. Tho masters of sailing vessels
may uso any horn producing a sound
equal to a steam whistle.
Tho President vetoed tho bill for tho
relief of John L. Shanks, of New Or
leann. The grounds ot tho veto aio
that the m o novo taken from 'tho State
bank at New Orleans in 1862 were ac?
counted for to the Secretary of tho Trea?
sury, and a Hst of the depositors filed
in that department, and the name of
Dr. Jphn Li. Shanks does not appear
among them.
Probabilities-The barometer will con?
tinue falling on Friday over tho South?
ern States, with partially olcudy but
pleasant weathor, except probably over
tho Western Gulf States, and rising tem?
perature. South-easterly to South-west?
erly winds, with partially cloudy wea?
ther, will prevail over the Now England
and Middle States, oxoept probably
?loDg the lower lake region. Partly
cloudy and possibly threatening weathor
will prevail North of tho Ohio Valley,
with light and fresh variable winds.
Dangerous winds aro not anticipated fer
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
CINCINNATI, March 28.-The Com?
mittee of Arrangements for thc May

ing the Constitution as it is, and in se?
curing a oivil sorvioo reform, a tariff for

INDIANA Ko KLUX -Several days ?go,
we made brief mention of the doings of
a gang of lawless men in Olark County,
Indiana, at tho same time expressing
doubt as to the truth of the reports that
reached ns concerning their operations.
Other information received since con?
vinces us that our statements were en?
tirely too mild in relation to the outrages
committed in that now notorious locality,
whioh begins to rival even the notable
North Carolina region, made famous by
the doings of tho liowrey gang.
The many murders, arsons and robbe?
ries committed in Clark County during
the past threo years, are difficult to be
accounted for. The County is one
among tho oldest und most woulthy, and
is inhabited by a population as intelli?
gent and refined us any other County in
Indiana, or probably in the West.
Nevertheless, a gang of villains soem to
have made their headquarters in that
County, and it is certain their opera?
tions, both individually and in concert,
havo been of a charnater to cause great
alarm among the citizens for tho safety
of their lives and property.
?Such u stato of u Hui rs ought not to bo
longer tolerated by tho good citizens of
Clark County. They ure disgraceful
alike to tho country and State, und de?
mand immediate suppression by the
strong ann of the luw. Much is said
about thu Kn Klux in tho South, but wo
doubt if, in tho entire South, wretchedly
as it is misgoverned and oppressed by
Radicalism, there can be found a loca?
lity that, for gross outrages against law
and thc lives and property of citizens,
eau equal Chirk County, Iud. Tina thia
is true, is owing to the fact that tho law
and ordcr-loviug and observing portion
of tho population (aud It is equal to thut
of any other country) jeem to bo para?
lyzed by the frequency and tho bold?
ness of the crimes committed, und to
fear to speak out or act boldly aguiust
tho gang of scoundrels who disgrace the
County by their violeuco and bloody
deeds. Tho law in that County seems to
silent HO far us great criminals aro con?
cerned, while it pursues with ruthless
hand tho unfortunate who muy happen
to bo guilty of soiling a dram of liquor
without license, or stealing a dollar's
worth of food ur clothing.

THICKS OF GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES.
Tho Wheeling (W. Va.) Register, of
Wednesday, denounces the practice of
certain Govcruinei.it detectives, who uso
every artifice to got nomo unsuspecting
citizen into a trap, aud thou arrest him
for tho violation of law they themselves
havo arranged for and counselled. Thc
Register gives) tho following case in point:
A United States Internal Revenue dc
tcotivo carno to this city last week to put
up a job on somebody. Getting into
tho contideuco of a young mau who
should have known better, he nsod him
as a stool-pigeon. The detective ob?
tained an introduction to Thomas Fahey,
of thc Fifth Ward, representing himself
ns a merchant from Grafton, and ordered
a bill of groceries. Ho also required, ho
said, a barrel of whiskey. In order to
accommodate bis customer, Mr. Fahey
went to Mr. Reilly's store and purchased
tho liquor merely for tho accommodation
of his customer, and sent it to the ex?
press office for shipment. Tho liquor
was never iu Mr. Fuhey's store at all,
but he udded tho cost of it in tho bill he
had mailo out against his customer, not
thinking that ho had committed any
wrong or had done an unlawful act.
This was just what tho detective in?
tended ho should do, and instead of
paying the bill, ho had Mr. Fahey ar?
rested for violating the internal revenue
law. If these detectives would look
after those who wilfully and knowingly
violate tho law, wo should not havo a
word to say; but we havo nothing but
condemnation for this sneaking wuy of
doing business.
On tho lGth instant, tho ex-Prince
Imperial of Franco completed tho six?
teenth your of his age. Ile was boru on
thc luth of Muroh, 1850, and ho has
now "como of ago" by the provisions of
a law pasead during tho reign of tho ex
Euipcror. As at present situated, it
perhaps mattera Jittlo to this sou of
fallen and cxilod parents whether he
has reached his legal majority or not,
and tho fact would possess little interest
to tho public-however different might
havo boen the oaso woro Napoleon still
on tho throne-but for a report which
has gained extensivo circulation, that it
was tho purpose of the ox-Emperor to
"abdicate" tho French throne upon the
attainment of tho Prince to his sixteenth
year, and thereafter to devote himself to
conspiring for tho young man's lodg?
ment on tho throne ns Emperor. This
little plan has a Napoleonic flavor about
it which renders its accomplishment
something moro than a matter of doubt,
and uenoo it would not bo strango that j
wo should shortly heat that Louis Napo?
leon has addressed his "lieges"-tho
limited household at Chiselhurst-stat?
ing that ho bas relinquished tho weighty
affairs of Stato in favor of hiB son, whom
ho takes tho liberty to introduce to
them ns their Emperor and tho Emperor
of Frnnoo.
DEATH OP A MILLIONAIRE Aiiounisuoi?.
The tolegrnph has mentioned the death I
of tho Archbishop of Lima on the 19th
ult. Tho Panama Star and Herald says:
"Dying ut tho age of eighty-eight, he
was tho oldest bishop and oldest arch?
bishop in tho Catholic Church; tho first
by reason of seniority, tho second by
reuson of ago. Another moro agreeable
circumstance to those directly interested
is tho fact that tho luto prelato was pro?
bably tho richest man in South America,
his property, at tho lowest estimation,
amounting to ?20,000,000. His lifo was
spotless and his virtues many; his fault
was a remarkable desire to increase his
wealth."
Tho word mayor is derived from thc
Latin major, (granter,) und means se?
nior alderman.
BlMXHisoBKoa OF AN OLD NASHVILLE
INN.-The following amuaiug reminis?
cence, oonuooted with the history of a
famous Nashville hostelry, that was
numbered among the institutions of the
past long years before the war, is told by
the Franklin Review and Journal, whioh
says that th? principal actors are still
living:
"While the old inn stood on theequaro
in Nashville- it was the favorite hotel of
tho traveling public. OD one occasion,
among the muny guests thoru assembled,
were Harvey H-, from Williamson,
County, und John G-, from Maury
Couuty, intimate friends, and both con?
vivial in their temperament. They hud
imbibed froely of spirits, and wore in
that happy conditiou in which they con?
sidered tho world all thoir own, and
wera rather noisy in their demonstra
tious. Somo of tho visitors complained
of their noise, and the proprietor, after
Borne persuasion, induced the gentlemen
to retiro to bed. He conduoted them to
their room, saw them safely lodged in
bed, waited paitently until they slept,
and then drew the bed which, as was
then to somo extent fashionable, wus at?
tached to the cdiling by cords, up nearly
to the ceiling, raisiug them somo niuo or
ten feet from tho floor. Everything
passed oil quietly, tho gentlemen sleep?
ing soundly undi 1 or 2 o'clock iu tho
morning, when John G-, who was
sleeping behind, called out to his friend:
.Harvey, gut mo the water; the pitcher
is on tho table there in the corner. ' Har?
vey demurred a little, but finally yield?
ing to euruost solicitations, he threw
himself out of bed, iu thc pitch dark?
ness of the room, to tho floor beneath.
Hu was unprepared for a leap, and tho
shock of tho full surprised him. In?
stantly he conjectured that he hud fallen
down stairs, perhaps through a trap?
door, Ro ho got down on bis bauds nud
knees aud commenced groping about to
Sud somo meaus of ascent tu the room
above. Tho delay occasioned by theso
movements was torture to John, who
was parched up with thirst. Ho he
called ont, iu lunguugo moro profane
than polite: 'Harvey, what are you
doing?' Tho answer cume from tho
depths below: 'John, I fell down stairs
aud can't Hud thu steps td get up again.**
'Well, must I come duwn there to show
you thu way up?' 'I wish yon would,
John, for 1 oau't dud the steps.' Johu,
thoroughly vexed at the stupidity of bis
friend, sprang out of bed, wheu lo! be,
too, went whirling through the air into
tho distance below, and soon found him?
self sprawling ou thc floor bosido his
companion. 'Harvey, I foll down stans
myself,' was tho first exclamation . Then
the two commenced u search for the
staircase, a ladder, anything to enable
them to gut out of this deep abyss.
Hound and round they went upon their
hands and knees. They found a table,
upon which they discovered a pitcher of
water. Quenching their thirst, they re?
sumed their search. Their clothing hud
boen deposited on tho foot of thc bod, so
this was beyond their reach, and the
wootbor was intensely cold. They must
keep moving or freeze. Tho weary
round was kept up until tho gray dawn
began to streak the East, when they as?
certained thoir trim condition. Stealthi?
ly they lowered tho bed, hastily donned
their clothing, uud only remained long
enough to pny their bill tu tho night
clerk, wheu, mounting their horses, they
made their tracks for home."
NEWSPAPERS.-The Richmond Chris?
tian Advocate gets off the following inte?
resting artiolo on tho newspaper busi?
ness. Suys the Advocate:
There aro two groat troubles nbout a
newspaper-ono grows out of tho tffort
tu make it live; tho other, out of the
effort tu pleuBO every body. The tirst
trouble may be overcome, the seco ad
uever. Every newspaper mau iu the
world hus an ideal, as ho culis it-per?
haps he meaus idul-and is always trying
to reach it, and never docs, which is very
strange. Some people believe that Ibero
is a fortune iu every newspaper in the
whole world, from Nova Zembla tu Vic?
toria Land. These people aro very ho?
nest, very sincere aud very iuuoecut in
this belief. If they had to try the har?
ness on and work in it awhilo, they
wuuld Buon sing another tune. Note
what follows. Tho Christian Standard,
of Cincinnati, statos that although its
affairs uro conducted with thu alrictcst
economy, nod its subscribers number
12.U00, it has thus far cost 820,000 moro
than its incomo. It says that the Ad?
vance, of Chicago, willi u still huger sub?
scription list, sunk about $75,00u in four
years, and had nut becomo self-sustain?
ing wheu tho lato fire occurred; that tho
Interior, in lc88 thau two years, has used
up u capital uf nearly $50,000; aud that
the Standard, uf Chicago, willi 15,000
subscribers, was uot self-sustaining.
* * * But all theso papers learn a
lesson, und that is, that credit is the
death of newspapers. Hence, if you
tako theso pupers, they will let you rt:u
to tho day you pay up to, and then drop
you liko a hot potato - that is, unless
you renew. Cash ii their lifo. Go to

LONQ?VITY.-Will temp?rance pr ooo re
long life) Parr waa an intemperate
man, yet be lived over 160 years. Gan
we depend on comfort and regularity in
our habits? Jenkyne, who lived 169
years, was an habitual beggar, often in
the greatest want of the oommon neces?
saries of life. Is a good climate the euro
promoter of longevity? Jane Reeve
lived to the ago of 108 in the marshy
County of Essex, England; Album? Muro
reached 150 in the sultry interior of
Ethiopia, and Drakenburg 146 in the
shiveriug climate of the mountains of
Norway. With auch contrasts os these,
how oan we philosophize on the subject?
Yet, on the point of regularity, we may
hazard a question. Is it not probable
that Parr might have lived longer if
be had been a temperate man? Jen
kyuB, if he had not been subjected to
such vicissitudes? A few more instances
of great longevity may be mentioned.
Thoa. Carn died in London, in 1588,
aged 207; an instance of longevity ex?
ceeding any other on modern record,
but well authenticated in the parish re?
gister of yt. Leonard, Shoreditoh; a
Russian died nt Ekaterinosiaf, in 1813,
whose ago was between 200 and 205; and

tained a route agency on one of the Ken?
tucky railroads, und that, in considera?
tion of receiving tho benefit of that in?
fluence, Sayers has been in tho habit of
paying to the old gentleman a little bro?
kerage, amounting to .ouo-third of his
monthly compeusation. Unluckily, a
relative of Sayers, impressed with the
ideu that tho young man, as ho labored
faithfully, ought to enjoy his salary en?
tire, and not divido it with pater Grant, I
so wrote to the department, supposing
it WUB a condition of his appointment.
This, of course, created a stir, but as
Mr. Grant is tho President's father, it ls
likely wc shall hoar no moro of the mat?
ter.
Tho Chicago Times, which seems to
speak by authority, denounces tho letter
of Judge David Davis-declining tho
nomination for tho Presidency, and re?
cently published with some credence-a
forgery puro and simple. The Times
declares emphatically that Judge Davis
himself status that ho has written no
such letter, neither to tho Chairman of
tho Columbus Convention, nor to any
othor person whatsoover. There is no
stronger proof of the fuct that thc dis?
tinguished jurist's namo is a terror to
tho scaly corruptiou party, than this
dirty attompt to throw him out of the
race. Theru eau bo little doubt as to
whore it comes from; and we doubt not
the stewards at tho Ciu?innati meeting
will seo to it the "foul" is noted by all
interested iu a fair track.
Secretary Robeson, who, at tho closo
1 of tho war, was a four-ponny lawyer iu
i the wilds of New Jersey, and lacked at
least a dollar ond-a-half of being worth
a tinker's malediction, is now said to be
worth ?2,000,000. Aud yet nobody pre?
tends to know what became of the 450
vessels that have so mysteriously disap?
peared from tho navy,
The committco appointed to investi?
gate the salo of arms to France is likely
to find "more guus foi Grant" than
Grant wants to havo banging about his
ears upon thu very eve of opening a
campaign.
