1 Many of the applications for a refand
of the proceeds of BftleB of cotton have
been rejected by the Treasury,'as not
oqmiog withiu the provisions of tbe Aot
of Congress. It does ,hot seem, to be
understood among parties interested,
that the proceeds of the sales of eotton,
unlawfully seized after the 30th of June,
1865, will not be restored, where the
parties, by themselves or their author?
ized ?genta, eckt cotton to tbe Con fede?
rate States, and" received therofor Con?
federate notee^'bonds or certificates, or
other valuable consideration. The pub?
lished report that the: Court of 'Claims
has decided that the qotton tax is uncon?
stitutional, is incorrect.' ? The question'
of the constitutionality of the law im
Boeing a tax on ootton has never yet
oon before this Court, although it will
probably bo raised in tbo argument of a
case at'tbo next term. This report may
have- arisen from tbe fact that the Court
of Claims decided, long ago, and has
uniformly held in a number of oaees
since that the cotton tax was not a
oharge upon the Oaptured and abandon?
ed property fund; or, in other words,
that the Government could not retain
this tax from! the proceeds of sales of
oaptured cotton.

of New Orleans certifies that tbero is no
oholera in that city; but tbo Government
here claims that quarantine is imposed
on information from the Spanish Consul
at New Orleans that cholera really exists
there. This rigid enforcement in quaran?

Colored Juries.?When the United
States Distriot Judge for Georgia de?
cided that it was competent for the
United States Marshal to select negroes
to serve on the Untied States janes, it
was represented here that the decision
was for partisan purposes, and would
result in "packing" of juries to prose
oute persons oharged with violation o(
the Enforcement Aot, as bad been done
in tbe Ku Elux cases in North aod South
Carolina. To show that theao suspicious
were well founded, lists have been s<mt
here of some of the United States juries
selected in parts of Southern Georgia.
From these it appears that in some of
the Counties half of those selected are
negroes, and three-fourths of the whole
number are Radicals. In other Counties,
where many indiotmenta for alleged vio?
lations of the Enforcement Aot are
pending, the paoportion is even greater.

A singular Good Friday custom is ob?
served in an old English church-yard.
Attention was recently oalled to it by a
gentleman, who saw an aged rector put?
ting down twenty-one eix-penoea on a
grave-stone, whioh the same number of
poor widows picked up. The custom is
nearly as old as the ohuroh, and origin?
ated in tho will of a lady who left a sum
of money to pay for tbe sermon and to
yield the six-pences to be distributed
over her grave; but, as the will is lost
and her tomb gone, the traditionary spot
of her interment iB chosen for the distri?
bution?a strange part of the tradition
being that any one too stiff in the joints
to pick op tbe money was not to receive it.
There will be one good result from tbe
troubles in Louisiana?the word "rebel"
will be rendered still more absurdly in?
consistent with its original meaning than
it was made by the Federal papers dar?
ing the "late unpleasantness." The
McEnery men?those who support tbe
Governor that waa elected by the people
?those who pay all the taxes and mono?
polise all the respectability of the State
?are spoken of as "rebels." We would
not ohooso to be one of the "loyal" in
