THE CLAIMS OP LOYAL CITIZENS POE DAMAGE* TO
PBOPEETT BY THE WAS.
The House Committee on Claims had a meeting to
day for the purpose of deciding upon the course to be
pursued in reference to the numerous claims of loyal
citizens for damages to property by the war. There
wul be a great diversity of opinion in reference to this
subject, and for some unexplained reason a vote upon
it was postponed until the next meeting of the com
mittee. There are now on file over two hundred claims
irom citizens of undoubted loyalty residing in Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Virginia.
Six thousand copies of the report of the Committee
on Claims relative to claims growing out of damages
in the late rebellion will be printed, to the end that
all may know the views of the committee upon that
class of claims. Very few will be favorably consid
ered.

Washington, Thursday. Feb. 8. 1866.—The follow
ing is the published reply of the Colored Delegation to
President Johnson, prepared after they had their in
terview with him yesterday.
Mr. President : In consideration of a delicate sense
of propriety, as well as your own repeated intimations
of indisposition to disouss or to listen to a reply to the
views and opinions you were pleased to express to
us in your elaborate speech to-day, the undersigned
would respectfully take this method of replying there
to.
Believing, as we do, that the views and opinions ex
pressed in that address are entirely unsound and pre
judicial to the highest interests of our race as weU as
of our country, we cannot do otherwise than expose
the same, and, as far as may be in our power, arrest
their dangerous influence.
It is not necessary at this time to call attention to
more than two or three features of your remarkable
address.
The first point to which we feel especially bound to
take exception is your attempt to found a policy op
posed to our enfranchisement, upon the alleged ground
of an existing hostility on the part of the former
slaves toward the poor white people,of the South.
We admit the existence of this hostility and hold
that it is entirely reciprocal.
But you obviously commit an error by drawing an
argument from an incident of a state of slavery, and
making it a basis for a policy adapted to a state of free
dom.
The hostility between the whites and blacks of the
South is easily explained. It has its root and sap in
the relation of slavery, and was incited on both sides
by the cunning of the slave-masters. These masters
secured their ascendency over both the poor whites
and the blacks by putting enmity between them. They
divided both to conquer each.
There was no earthly reason why the blacks shonld
not hate and dread the poor whites, when in a state of
slavery, for it was from tliiB class that their masters
received their slave-catchers, slave-drivers, and over
seers. They were the men called in upon all occasions
by the masters when any fiendish outrage was to be
committed upon the ffiave.
Now, Sir, you cannot but perceive that the cause of
this hatred removed, the cause must be removed also.
Slavery is abolished. The cause of antagonism is re
moved, and you must see that it is altogether illogi
cal—“putting new wine into old bottles, mending new
garments with old clothes”—to legislate from slave*
holding and slave-driving premises for a people whom
you have repeatedly declared your purpose to maintain
in freedom. Besides, even if it were true, as you al
lege, that the hostilUy of the blacks toward the poor
whites must necessarily bo the same in a state of free
dom as in a state of slavery, in the name of Heaven we
reverently ask, how can you, in view of your professed
desire to promote the welfare of the black man, de
prive him of all means of defense, and clothe him
whom you regard as his enemy in the panoply of po
litical power ? Can it be that you would recommend &
policy which would arm the strong and cast down the
defenceless ? Can you by any possibility of reasoning
regard this as just, fair or wise ?
Experience proves that those are oftenest abused
| who can be abused with the greatest impunity. Men
| are whipped oftenest who are whipped easiest. Peace
between the two races is not to be secured by degrad-
| ing one race and exalting another—by giving power to
one race and withholding it from another, but by
maintaining a state of equal justice between all par
ties ; first pure—then peaceable.
On the colonization theory which you were pleased
to breach very much could be said. It is impossible
to suppose, In view of the usefulness of the black man
in time of peace as a laborer in the South, and in ume
of war ns a soldier at the North, and the growing re
spect or his rights among the people, and his m-
creasiy 0 adaptation to a high state of civilization in
this his native'land, there can ever -come a time when
he can be removed from this country without a terrible
shock to its prosperity and peace.
Beside, the worst enemies of the nation could not
cast upon its fair name a greater infamy than to sup
pose that negroes could be tolerated among them in a
state of the most degrading slavery and oppression,
and must be cast away and driven into exile for nu
other cause than having been freed from their chains.

John Jones, Lewis H. Douglass,
William Whipper, And others.
Washington. Feb. 7, 1866.
The conference of Fred. Douglass and his delegation
with the President has produced quite a sensation at
the North, and the leading presses are commenting
freely upon it. The Tribune thinks the negroes got
the better of the President in the interview, and high
ly eulogises their published reply to his ^?eech. The
New York World (anti-republican) says:
“The letter to President Johnson, prepared by Fred.
Douglass and other clever negroes,after their reception,
is in a tone of insolence which suits with the Indeco
rum of their attempt to get up a debate with the Presi
dent in the White House. None of the great depart
ments of the Government—-neither Congress nor the
Judiciary—would thus attempt to beard the President
of the United States, and to convert the Presidential
mansion into the arena of a controversy, such as some
times occurs between rival candidates on the stump.
Whether this transgression of the proprieties due to
the official head of the nation ought to be regarded as
a new proof of the fitness of the negro race for the ex
ercise of political functions, is a question which we
leave to the decision of their peculiar friends.
“The denunciation of President Johnson by Fred.
Douglass and company is of little account; but the
frank remarks made to them by the President chal
lenge attention as an exposition of his views on one of
the moat interesting problems of the time. There can
hereafter be no doubt, either as to his precise position,
its grounds, or the persistent resolution with which he
will maintain it,”
The Times (Admistration) says:
“There is nothing novel in this formal arraignment
of the Executive policy. Least of all is there any un
due modesty in the tone in which the President is ad
dressed. While demanding an immediate and uni
versal enfranchisement for their kindred, these negro
representatives not only overlook the vastness and the
most miraculous suddenness of their release from serf
dom, but they forgot altogether, in their self-apprecia
tion, that they are to-day a community for whose pro
tection a National Commission of Charities if not of
Corrections, has been established. Declared by their
professional champions to be the “wards of the na
tion,” they are the recipients of eleemosynary aid, not
as individual paupers of the superior race receive
charity, but as a separate community, having special
and peculiar claims. The maintenance of a Freed
man’s Bureau, admitted by all thoughtful men ndt
blinded by partiz&nsbip to be a necessity ( for the time
at least, is justified only upon the principle that the
race of recently emancipated slaves is in a transition
state ; that their new social and industrial status has
not yet been assured ; that, practically, in all but ex
ceptional cases, they are social aliens for the time by
the very act of their emancipation, and that the terri
ble disabilities which this social alienation entails—
even if His but temporary—entitle them to the elee
mosynary aid which the liberality of Congress has
provided.
“They have no argument to present against the ju
dicious and conciliatory counsel of the President, but
such as is drawn from a selfish and arrogant estimate
of their own impoHance in the body politic. They have
not even the first expression of gratitude for the vast
sacrifices which their emancipation has entailed on
present and future generation's of Northern freemen.
They see nothing in the President’s policy for which
to make acknowledgment. And they are perfectly in
different whether the States of the South should be re
stored to the national Union or not—provided only
universal and instant negro enfranchisement is made
part of the organic law of the land. The President
judges that, before all this is conceded, there are vari
ous other interests to be consulted. And, with a per-.
feet reliance upon the judgment and the temper of
the American people, he is prepared to see sectional
ism and fanaticism to their utmost, without receding
himself a single step from his policy of conciliation and
peace.”
The Sun (Republican) says :
“ We seldom see a more pungent and tersely written
document than the reply of the colored delegation to
the remarks of President Johnson. It is clear, logi
cal, forcible, or fair literary merit, evincing good taste
and good sense. While dissenting from some of the
opinions they have expressed, we must award to the
colored deletion the credit of having acouitted
themselves in a manner that would answer well as an
example for many others who have whiter skins and
more pretension. We particularly commend their
address to the attention of the sixty-nine members of
the House of Representatives, who are recorded for
the delivery of speeches upon the reconstruction ques
tions. If they sucased in presenting their armunenta
as clearly, tersely, and briefly as the colored delega
tion have done, thev will dp exceedingly well—much
better than a majority of those who have already
given vent to their riews upon subject.”

AN OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE
WITH CHILL
Declaration of War Againit Spain.
OTHER SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS EX
PECTED TO JOIN THEALLIANCE
Panama, Feb. 1, 1866.—The public mind is at last
relieved of its feeling of dissatisfaction at the tempor
izing policy heretofore pursued by Peru toward Spain.
The steamship Peru, Capt. Hall, arrived here at a late
hour of the 30th ult Her news from Calao to the
‘23d is of tiie utmost importance. War has been de
clared. An alliance, offensive and defensive, against
Spain, has been concluded between Chili and Peru.
When the steamer left Callao the connecting steamer
from Valparaiso had not arrived, although overdue
three days. We are, consequently without later in
telligence from Chili.
PERU.
The complications lately existing in the diplomatic
relations of Spam with Peru have at last assumed a
clear and well defined appearance. Considering the
belligcreut attitude assumed oy the Bpaniah Govern
ment through its Pacific squadron as directly men
acing the internal as well as external safety of the Pe
ruvian Republic, a treaty, offensive and defensive,
against Spain has been agreed. upon between the first-
uarned power and Chili. This treaty was concluded
on the 5th of last December, but it was agreed between
Senor Pacheco, the Peruvian, and Senor Senta Maria,
the Chilian Commissioner, that the afftur should not
be given publicity until ratified by the Chilian Con
gress.
However, the matter had been disclosed to certain
parties over a fortnight ago—and a public acknowl
edgement is only received as confirmatory intelli
gence. The Congress of Chili lost no time in ratify
ing and approving the treaty, and consequently, war
was proclaimed by Peru against Spain, on the 14th
of January, 1866.
The following translation of the decree of General
Prado, is taken from the columns of the Panama Star
and Herald:
“Mariano Ignacio Prado, Provisional Supreme
Chief of the Republic:
“In consideration. That Peru, independently from
the Bpecial reasons which she has for demanding from
the Government of Spain ihe reparation of grave of
fenses which the latter* has inflicted on her, has been
obliged to consider, and considers as her own the
question which the latter Government has raised
against Chili; and that in consequence thereof a treaty
of alliance, offensive and defensive, has been signed,
approved and ratified between both Republics, with
the object of saving each ather mutually, and also
America from the unjust violent aggressions of Spain;
I decree:
“ ‘Art. 1. The Republic is declared to be in a state of
war with the Government of Spain.
“ ‘Art. '1. The Secretary of foreign Relations will
take care to communicate this declaration to all friend
ly nations, with a corresponding manifest of the rea
sons which have caused the same.
“The Secretaries of State, each one in the Depart
ment that belongs to him, are charged with the execu
tion of this decree and with the publication of the
same with due solemnity.
••Given at the Government House, in Lima, the 14th
of January, 1866.
“Mariano I. Prado.”
The promulgation of the order to prepare for war
was received with the wildest enthusiasm by the Pe
ruvians. They are obeying the order with an alacrity
that bodes no good to their enemy. The naval squad
ron has left to join the Chilian vessels. The combined
squaron will couaist of the following men-ol-war:
Peruvian—Assurimac, 60 guns (flag-ship); Amazonas,
44 guns ; America, 10 guns ; Union, 10 guns.
Chilian—Esmeralda, 32 guns ; Maissu, 8 guns, and
Covodonga, 3 guns—making a total of 7 vessels, mount
ing together 167 rifled guns of heavy calibre.
The commanding officer of the squadron has orders
to attack vessels belonging to the Spanish fleet when
ever an opportunity to do so is offered. It is thought
that Commodore Nunes will maintain the defensive
altogether, until he is enabled to communicate with
tiie home Government, and receive instruction from
thence.
lt is the uuanimously expressed opinion both in
and out of Peru, that there is to be no sham in this
war. The intense hatred with which Peruvians re
gard the mother country, precludes the possibility of
there being any leniency shown on their side at any
rate. Spanish residents in Peru are prevented leaving
the country, and the strictest watch is kept upon all
their actions. It *s claimed that this step is necessary
in order to prevent illegitimate communication with
the enemy. No persons are allowed to leave the coun
try without proper passports.
Our Minister at Lima, Gen. Hovey, is said to be ac
tively protecting American interests during the pres
ent crisis. The United States steamer Wateree will
remain in the port of Callao until relieved.
Thus the subject of the revolution against the Pezet
Government is finally attained. The result no one can
foretell. In this war, however, Peru has taken the
initiatory step, and has tiie advantage of being fully
prepared for the conflict. The contending parties are
about equally matched as regards strength, but the
enlistment of foreign officers in the allied navy gives it
an equal if not the preponderating amount of skill.
Toi pedo, and other infernal machinery for the destruc
tion of the Spanish ships, has already arrived at Callao.
It was purchased in New York by an agent of the
Chilian Government, who passed through Panama on
his return a fortnight ago.
It was expected that Bolivia and Ecuador would
also soon be added to Spain’s armed antagonists. A
late report is to the effect that all the vessels of the
Spanish blockading fleet on the Chi ian coast had
been concentrated at Valparaiso, and an early bom
bardment of that city was regarded as among the pos
sibilities. General Kilpatrick, our Minister to Chili,
had arrived at Callao, Peru.
In Spain the news ol the capture of the Spanish
steamer Covadonga by the Chilians has caused the
most violent ferment. A warlike address has been
voted by the Cortes, instructions have been despatch
ed to the Spanish Admiral to avenge the national
honor, and the Madrid papers absolutely foam with
rage. One of the mildest of these journals asserts that
“Spain puts up with insults from nobody, and is not
bound to show consideration for any country in the
world.” A more violent contemporary demands that
“wherever a palace or a hohse or a hut inhabited by
these bastard children of ours, by these parricides,
may be seen, there must the Spanish shell fail;” whilst
a provincial paper gravely warns France, England and
the United States “to stand aside; for whoever comes
between Spain and her foes is Spain’s foe.”
The Mexican Question.
The correspondefice and advices from Paris as to
the present status of tbe Mexican question in the
French capital are pregnant, with promises of a peace
ful solution of the difficulty. The universal impres
sion appears to be that Napoleon has abandoned Maxi
milian to his fate, and only waits for some loophole
securing the French bondholders from loss to get out
of Mexico as quickly as possible. The official Blue
Book laid before the Corps Legislatif declared in the
most unequivocal terms that the French troopiyire
not in Mexico on the principle of intervention, and
that as soon as possible they will be withdrawn. *La
France repeats, in substance, the same declaration,
with a sav mg clause about “those financial measures
which have associated the credit of France with that
of Mexico,” and the Debats prophesies a speedy ter
mination of the intervention. As a commencement
of the final abandonment of Maximilian, the semi
official papers are beginning to repudiate responsibili
ty for his acts. Abundance of friendly compliments
are showered on the United States from all sides, and
the vast power of the republic is frankly acknowledged.
A les* peaceful view of the Mexican situation ap
pears to be obtaining ground at our national capital.
Washington advices represent that in Congressional
circles there Napoleon’s expressions in reference to
evacuation are regarded as evasive and disingenuous,
and it is thought that he does uot really, intend to
withdraw his troops unless our Government will re
cognise Maximilian or enter into some other compro
mise in the matter. Many military men entertain the
opinion that our force on the Rio Grande will be in
creased at once, and that our affairs there will be im
mediately placed on a war footing.
While the question of war or peace is discussed pro
and con, the witent*} cordiale between the French Le
gation and our leading public men has suffered no de
cline. A brilliant bail was given in Washington last
Friday night by the Marquis Montholon, the French
Minister, which was attended by a large number of
our most prominent citizens, including Senators,

Ex-President Pierce .on National Af
fairs.
The leading members of the New Hampshire De
mocracy held a meeting at Concord on Tuesday even
ing preparatory to the Convention for the nomination
of State officers which took place on the following day.
Ex-President Pierce made a brief speech, in which,
after a vindication of the patriotism of the Democratic
party, he said*.
“Our country, my friends, has passed through se
rious perils, but I hope that we are now emerging
from the thick darkness which ai one time brooded
over it. The present time calls for the calm, dispas
sionate and patriotic exertions of all good men in the
work of restoration—not merely in form, but a restora
tion of a community of interests—fraternal feeling and
an equality of rights among all the States. I think I
can discern gleams of light. The annual message of
President Johnson is admirable; and in my judgment
his subsequent steps looking to restoration have been
guided by wisdom, patriotism and statesmanlike fore
cast. I am pleased to greet as co-workers in a noble
cause all men who desire the immediate restoration of
the Southern States to civil rights, and who join efforts
in saving whatever may be saved for the prosperity oi*
our common country. Under any circumstances, gen
tlemen, it would be abject to despair oi* the Republic. ”

duce in this country the practice oflnsurance against
Accidents, of whatever kind, whether they occur in
traveling, or in hunting, fishing, sailing riding, skat
ing, in the street, 9tore, office, or while working in
shops, mills, factories, or on the farm.
A General Accident Policy covers every possible
form of casualty, including the risk in traveling, also
all forms of dislocations, broken bones, ruptured
tendons, sprains, concussions, crush mgs, bruises,
cats, stabs, gunshot wounds, poisoned wounds, burns
and scalds, bites of dogs, unprovoked assaults of
burglars, robbers or murderers—the action of light'
niug or aun stroke, the effects of explosions, chem
icals, floods and earthquakes, suffocation by drown
ing or choking.

all times, and times and places.
An anunal premium of $10 or $12 (according to oc
cupation), will secure a General Accident Policy for
$2,000, in case of fatal accident, or $10 per week

manner, secure a policy for $5,000, or $25 per week
