SOME time ago Mr.. j. w. Lebarnes,
the Law Clerk of the General Land Office,
testified before the Public Land Committee
of the Senate that certain land grant roads
in Minnesota, Missouri and elsewhere have
had certified to them large amount ofland
in excess of the amount they were entitled
to under the laws making the grant. Mr..
Strait, Of Minnesota, introduced in the
House a resolution of inquiry, directing the
Secretary OF the Interior to furnish to the
House all the facts in his department tend
ing to show the truth or falsity OF the ale
CATION made by Mr.. Lebarnes, and if found
to be true, to make such suggestions as he
may think best for the recovery of the land
in excess, and for placing it again in posses
sion OF the Government and opening it for
homestead aud pre-emption settlement.
Mr.. Lebarnes alleges that under the loose
practices inaugurated in the beginning the
process OF awarding lands to railroad COM
panies, without regard to the amount they
ought to be legally entitled to receive, has
gone on after the probable amount accruing
to a grant has been reached, and in some
instances after the possible maximum has
been exceeded.

The will Of John +. Johns was
broken by a Baltimore jury, and the
verdict would distribute the estate of
$500, 900 among the natural heirs; but
the lawyers are trying TO impeach IT, on
the ground that one Of the jurors was
und1ly influenced by a Irritation in tho
court room with one Of the parties in
interest. This person was young la
dy, Of course, and very pretty, while
the Juror was a susceptible bachelor.
The evidence Is that the two exchanged
glances and smiles during the trial; that
they bowed 10 each other on meeting in
the street. that he said 10 o fellow juror:
'How can we give a verdict against
such a pretty girl?'' and that he haa
since become a suitor for her hand.
