Sugar Bounty Carnes.

Washington, Oct. 31. —Representative Meyer and Col. Hill of New Orleans, representing the Louisiana sugar producers. were at the treasury department yesterday, and had an interview with Auditor Baldwin in regard to the sugar bounty claim cases. They asked for the specific rejection of two specific claims, one under the appropriation of $238,000 on sugar produced before the repeal of the bounty act, and the other under the $5,000,000 appropriation by the last congress, their purpose being to secure a proper basis for actions to be brought in the United States circuit court at New Orleans against the government for the sums claimed to be due.
