We fail to discover any point further than
that n Radical paper couldn't sustain itself in
North Idaho. We are, however, sorry to note
the fact that the people of that section allowed
their home paper to die for want of patronage.
Northern Idaho is amply able to sustain To-
cal paper The Journal was devoted princi.
pally to the interests OF that section, and as a
local organ should have been sustained by our
friends in that section. We hope the suspen-
sion may prove only temporary, and that ere
long we may again receive the journal regu-
larry as an exchange.

We cordially welcome it to our exchange list,

our Northern neighbors, to the advancement OF
whose material interests it will undoubtedly be

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
The Supreme Court to-day deliv-
cred an opinion against what is
known as the Diake amendment,
which in effect prohibits the recep-
tion by the Court of Claims of evi.
dence of amnesty and pardon or
the cooperation on part of the suit
Ors, but allow the party to refer to
such amnesty and pardon as evi-
dence of disloyalty unless at the
time of receiving the pardon and
amnesty the recipient was pardoned
against the imputation of previous
contained in the official
document. The court quoted the
proclamation of Lincoln of 1868,
which granted amnesty and pardon
on conditions of taking this oath,
ETC., with restoration of property,
excepting in slaves. The court as
serts the full power Of the President
as to granting pardon and amnesty,
the acceptance of which cannot, it
says, be rendered of non-efiect by
legislation Of Congress.

A Relief Measure.

Hon. Il. j. Mcintosh, Represent.
ative from Chickasaw, has intro.
duced in the House, a bill of great
Importance as a measure of relief tn
the people, entitled al act to quiet
tax-tltles and increase the revenue
of the State.
The substance of the bill is as fol.
lows: 1t provides that the Auditor
shall report to the Circuit Clerk the
amount and descriptions of all lands
\ forfeited or sold to the State for
n0n-payment of taxes--and name
1 of those to whom last assessed. For
the publication of this list by the
Clerks. For the redemption in the
Clerks Office by owners of the land,
without cost to the owners when
tax receipts can be shown for the
year which it was declared forfeited
or sold. And even when it was
properly forfeited or sold, for it's
redemption, by payment of all taxes
and six per cent. without further
damages. And where third parties
have entered at Auditors Office, ii
provides for the refunding to them
By the owner of all taxes paid by
them and six per cent. interest.
And where improvements have been
made or expense been incurred by
said party, his heirs or assigns in
attempting to perfect their title in
Chancery, it provides for them to
be made whole by the owner. 1t
provides, that after twelve months
from the publication by the Clerk,
all lands not redeemed shall be sub
.ect to entry and purchase of any
person. on the same terms, that is
paying the taxes due and six per
cent. interest, and the Clerks deed
conveying the States title shall be
primG .facie evidence that all The
prerequisites of the law of forfeit
pre and sale have been strictly COM
piled with. 1t provides stringent
punishment against all thieving tax
collectors who may be convicted of
having declared lands forfeited or
sold for the nOn-payment of taxes
when in fact the taxes had been
paid him. 1t calls it embezzlement,
md provides efectuaI punishment
For the crime.
Itis emphatically the Peoples Bill.
It sweeps out this Auditors Office as
With broom carries all the lands
back to the various counties-con-
yenient to the great mass of the
people. 1t provides for their entry
~ purchase there at home SO the
,oor may have a chance to realize
ts benefits. AS the law is now,
zone but land sharks and specula-
ors come to Jackson to enter lands
md speculate upon the misfortunes
# their neighbors. 1t is simple in
Is provisions, yet clearly shows
.reat care in Its proposition. It
'reathes vitality into more than
hree million acres OF lands that are
ow dead to the State, paying it no
evenue, but which if the bill will
ASS will largely increase the reve.
ne by being redeemed and improv-
d. besides it will save the people
of thousands of dollars by
them to get back their
lnds, which have been unjustly for
