Speaker Keifer announced the stand
ing committees of the House of Repre-
sentatives on the 2lst We notice that
Representative Davidson is on the com
mittee on Naval Affairs and General Fin
ley on that of Manufactures. A great
deal of fault is found with the manner in
which most of the important committees
are constructed. That on Ways and
Means is headed by "Pig-Iron y Kelly
and is otherwise weighted down with tar
if protectionists. The committee will of
course smother all attempts to revise the
tariff or to touch it in any way. The
committee on Elections has on it but two
Democrats to eleven Republicans, incIud-
ing one Readjuster and one Greenbacker.
The South, says Washington letter,
feels not only that a slight has been put
upon that section, but that nothing has
been left undone to revive sectional feel
ing so far as that can be accomplished by
such proceeding. The makeup of the
Elections Committee strikes the South,
for of the slender minority two are South
ern men directly interested in series of
revolution that threatens danger to the
political credit and morality of the sec
ton, and they need only this kind of en-
enlargement to help them on. These ap-
pointments are, moreover, regarded as
strongly suggestive of intend ed unfair
ness, for the Democrats had right to ex-
pect that the usual representation &C
corded minority would be bestowed
upon Democrats, and not upon anti-Dem-
ocrats who in this instance are more OBJ
jectionable than Republicans.

We believe THE .eonRdshes = Be- rel
founded. Ii or opiniou the settler uho
has rstafned his improvements on tie
pablo lands, as required BY the act Of
1851, hasan equitable right IN the land Of
which be ought mot and cannot be de-
prived By being entered out. When he
has giyeh in his Improvements he has
done AL the law requires - the first step
towards preferment, and this gives him
sort Of prescription claim for the time
being until be can have the opportunity
to pay his taxes. The law allowing the
settler until January l, 1882, to pay the
same, he cannot be considered in default,
and any person entering him out should.
in our Judgment, be held charged with
notice of the rights of the occupier under
the law and be subject to the enforcement
of such rights the same as the State would
be had il not sold. The law and the tax
books should be regarded rs sufficient mo-
tice to protect the settler against the party
entering. This view we know is held by
the State authorities who will not know
ingiy sanction any entering out pro-
ceedings by anybody. We know Of an
instance occurring in Taylor county
where the relation Of settler, knowing
! the fact that his relation was living on
public land and had given in his improve
ments, was mean enough to enter him out.
The authorities will endeavor to undo
this wrong, as they will in all other cases
where the fact of /" entering out , is
brought to their attention. In proof that
the government is doing all that it can to
protect settlers, some months ago no.
tice was published in all the South Flor
ida papers requesting settlers on the pub
lie lands to send to the land office the
numbers of the land on which they had
settled in the Disston purchase and the
same would be withdrawn from sale until
January, 1883, and this, whether they re-
turned the improvements made and paid
taxes or not.
In view of the facts stated how charac-
teristically malicious is the following from
the Tampa Tribune:
According TO the BroOksville Crescent il ap-
pears that the law requiring settlers on public
lands to pay taxes on their improvements, does
not work TO the benefit of such settlers, as their
places are icing entered by spectators who con-
suit the tax books at Tallahassee as q basis for
their operations. What beautiful thing is that
Tallahassee ring who fatien at the expense of
the people and the State. Now that there is no
longer any Internal Improvement Fund from
which to prey, the poor settlers may look out
If the writer of this paragraph was not
SO blinded by prejudice as to becloud his
reason he would know that every acre of
public land not actually decided away, of
which there are some ten millions of acres,
is open to entry by any and everybody,
SO that "poor settlers +" would not appear
to be in much danger, except through
their own LGcLes.

Sir Edward J, Reed has purchased >
majority of the stock in the Florida Cen
trail Railroad and taken the place Of e.
N: EEngle, Esq, in the management Of
that road. This will probably put q stop
to any further litigation in respect to the
ownership of the Florida Central and
postpone the sale, perhaps indefinitely, in
behalf of the Dutch bondholders. The
purchase by Sir Edward, however, does
not abate the Trask suit brought to sub
ject the property to liability for further
amount of so-called I.ittlefield bonds.
1t is understood that Sir Edward Reed
and associates will probably assume con-
troll Of the Transit Road to-day and that
the extension of the Tropical Peninsular
from Ocala to Tampa will be pushed with
vigof.
The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1881-12-27

General johnson repudiates the state
ment attributed to him in Q so-called in
terview Published in Philadelphia paper
that Mr.. Davis had sequestered or stolen
some q, SOC, 900 of coin belonging TO the
Confederate government during the fight
of himself and Cabinet from Richmond.
In an interview with World correspond
ent in Washington General johnson said
he had made no statement to the repre-
sentative of Philadelphia or any other
paper, intended for publication. He pur-
poses to write to the editor of the paper
which made the publication, disavowing
any such intention and denying the accu-
racy of many or most of the statements
attributed to him in the alleged interview.
The General says he was beguiled into
talking freely about three weeks ago to q
gentleman at hotel in Richmond, Va,
whom he did not at the moment suspect
was newspaper man, and that what he
did say was so distorted and expanded
that it became no more like what he said
than he to Hercules. He is made to put
words in the mouth Of Beauregard and
others, and to say things he didn't know,
and which could only be gathered from
records or reported by some one familiar
with Southern history and Southern men.
The General said that he was to blame as
well as the interviewer, for he was old
enough to know better. 1t appears,
therefore, that while much of the alleged
interview never took place, some was
false and other portions inaccurately
reported"
This disclaimer is fortunate for the rep
utation of General johnson. The public,
however, will wait with interest to see an
authoritative statement of what he did
say. Since the charge appeared against
Mr.. Davis numbers of prominent persons
who were knowing to the shipment of
money on the collapse of the Richmond
government have borne testimony to the
manner in which the coin was disposed of
and to the absurdity of the charge. The
sum at most was not quarter of the
amount stated.
