Inaudible fen feet away.
('on- dering the nature of tho Indebtedness fur pay?
ment of which Mr. Laird sought lo provide. UM de?
cision was intrinsically moan as well as partisan and
unjust. Baan Bf tho claims ls for a largo amount,
the average being less than PIOO. They have been
pending for many yoars; they aro based on law*
paned ta eneoerage men to enlist In the L'nlon armies
raised to suppress tho Rebellion. So sacred vvas (be
debt thus Incurred regarded that provision for Its
payment was made In a "permanent appropriation'*
act which was repo?led In 187-1, When lt was ron
?Mered that the great bulk of the claims had been
adjii.t.-d and paid, and that tho remainder could bi
provided fur by annual appropriations. Tb* act would
nm havo boen repealed if tbo emigre-- of that, year
had suspected thar a limo would como when an ??_
Confederate majority la the House would refan
promptly tc appropriate from year to year the money
necessary to pay tho belated claims as soon as they
Ihould 1?) adjusted and allowed by the proper officers.
In tho last tonure-s no appropriation whatever was
mada for that purpose, and thousand of claimants
wen* disappointed. Tho sum of *::<>, or *:.(!. or ifl"",
niue QT Rn, 'bte i" oe-u'l) of them, small In Itself,
was oin- of great OCWMgaean IC a poor claimant who
had beea walting fifteen or twenty yean for tbo
annoy Justly his due. For nearly two years af'er
tho claims were adjusted havo cia munis been com?
pelled to walt, owing to the bitter anal unrelenting
hostility ot the Democrat ic majority la Coa|
Tho proposition in tho bill ls to appropriate now

Thia is the manner in which tho Democratic party

would repudiate tho debts outright il lt dared to do so.
A NEW SUBJECT OF DEI3ATE IN' THE BOUSE,
BTRORO BPBBOBRB IN FAVOR OF THE PAYMENT
OF TIIE FRENCH SPOLIATION* CLAIMS.
Washington, Aug. 3 (Special).-Debate on tho
French spoliation claims bogan lu Um House Ibis
afternoon when the fourth section of tba Cen.-ral
Deficiency hill was leeched. It. appropriates ff? 41,
im. 83 ta pay claims whieh havo been favorably re?
ported by the Cuurt of Claims under th*) BBl of Jan?
uary no, 18**5. in the last Ceagnn tbo reports of
ihe Coori down to December l, 1MB, were referred
to Hie Judiciary Commltteo of the riou.e, a majority
of which held that the claims wero valid and should
be paid, but no steps were taken by the Bocae.
On December 19, 1887, the ROtHC, despite strong op?
position from leading Democrats, passed an order
directing the Appropriations Committee to Include in
tho General Deficiency Mil au appropriation to pay
then claim;. In the report to a covpany that bill
th.-re Is a long historical statement Concerning ibo
origin ol the claims and tho subsequent proceeding*
relating to them. This statement is signed by all
tho Democrat lo members ol the commltteo, and the
gl.t of their conclusions ls that tbe claims ought
cot to be paid, because they are " stalo*1 aud ol
doubtful validity.
The Justice and validity ol tbe claims and the ob?
ligation which rests upon tho Government to In?
demnify tho claimant, were strongly advocated to?
day by Messrs. Long, of Mas-achu-etts, and Dingley,
of Maine, Republicans, and Rag-Mr, of Mai. laud,
Democrat. Begem, of Ai kansai., a member ot tho
Judiciary Committee, delivered a loud ami vehement
ipeech mi tie- other _nto. Ho wanta H.'* ointments
to fortify their lights by a Judgment from iii ? 8u

haps Mr. Rog*-!-, bopea 'hat if Mich a plan b** adopted
and Judgments obtained lu tevor of tho claimants
the Appropriations i ommlttou may b** depended on
io Ignore the Judgment. The Arkansas Mea ol pay?
ing p,ililli- debts ny postponing or repudiating inem

they are now at liberty, individually or collectively,
to dolo out .such i-craps of information as in their
opinion will help tho Dcmocratlo party In the Im?

plete publication would defeat their object, but they
hope by wrenching a few hole out o' their proper
