COTTON CLAIMS CASES.
Unless Congress Acts Promptly, South
Will Lose Chance of Remuneration.
The court of claims has handed
down a decision which, in the opinion
of Chairman Sims of the house ,com

unless congress promptly enacts reme
dial legislation.
In brief, the court has held in the
case of Brandon vs. the United States
that it (the court) would not take
Jurisdiction of any claim for cotton
taken under the “captured and aban
doned property act” arising prior to
June 1, 1865, which might be referred
to it by a committee of either house
of congress under the act of March 3,
1887, known as the Tucker act. A dis
senting opinion was delivered by
Judge Haury, of the court of claims.
Chairman Sims says this decision, if
not followed by remedial legislation
by congress, will practically prevent
the collection of claims for cotton by
individuals under the act of 1863, the
“captured and abandoned act.**
