UNDER the lead of Mr.. Carlisle the Demo
Gratis of the House are settling down
rapidly on the free-trade, tariff for revenue
only side of the political fence. When that
party gets comfortably seated in the fence
corners of that side, there will no longer be
any doubt about the Presidential election

Wednesday, March 20. 1882.

THE members of the House complain
that they arc overloaded with private bills
and prevented from attending to public
good by their pressure, and yet yesterday
they refused TO take up bill, the result of
the conferences of four committees, which
would rid them Of all private claims.

To the Editor of The Eceniaq Critic:
Can you inform the public through the
columns OF your live paper why 1t is that Com
missioner Of Agriculture Loring cannot sec
people when they call upon him. / know
several Instances where persons called to see
him, having letters to him from members of
Congress, and were told he was so busy he
could not see them. Please inform us, II you
can, why is this thus, and oblige. 1t seems
more dinicult to see him than 1t does TO sec

In his report on the Mason case, submitted
TO the Secretary OF War, dge-AdvOcate- Gen
eral Swain takes the ground that as "the abil-
ity 10 commit the assault was both apparently
and really wanting" Mason not being In the
place shot at " there Is a material variance
between the allegations and the proofs, and
the conviction ought not TO be sustained" He
concludes by saying that while Sergeant Gut

guilty OF the specific offeuse of assault with

THE bill to appoint nine men to consider
what changes, if any, should be made in
the tariff and revenue laws, 50 that all the
varied industries of the United States may
have equal justice, passed the Senate by
vote of 3s 70 Is, the latter votes all being
Democratic, except that of the acting Vice
President.
Should the bill become law, as it proba-
bly, will, the commission, to properly dis
charge its duties, will have task beside
which that Of Sisyphus was easy. In
country extending north and south from
the borders of the torrid to that of the fro
zen zone, and from the east, where in lati-
tude 80 ice forms a staple article of manu-
facture, to where in the west, on the same
parallel, oranges and bananas are the prin-
cipal fruits; where every mineral valuable
in arts, manufacture or commerce, and all
the principal agricultural products of the
world are grown, it will be impossible to
make laws that do not operate hardly upon
some interest involved but the commission
can eonstrue their instructions to mean
"the greatest good to the greatest number,
not only now but in the future" and If tho
members are wisely chosen, as no doubt
they will be, excellent results will follow
ON THE cath Of January Senator Teller
introduced bill in the Senate directing
the forfeiture of all lands granted TO States
and corporations for the purpose Of aiding
in the construction Of railroads where the
conditions of the grant had not been com
piled with. This bill names ten States,
namely, Alabama, Mississippi Florida, Lou
isiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Oregon, together
with the Atlantic aud Pacific, the Texas
Pacific and the Northern Pacific Railways
The amount of land granted, as shown by
the bill, is 10 three railway corporations
one hundred and seuenteen million acres. To
the ten States is granted-to Alabama, 2,ff0,-
$40 acres; to Florida, l,751,s52 acres; to
Mississippi, 652, 800 acres; to Louisiana,
610,seO acres; 10 Missouri, GAO ,0G0 acres
to Arkansas, 1908, ,296 acres; to Michigan,
907, 1886 acres; to Wisconsin, 3,205,i55 acres;
to Minnesota, 4,025,000 acres; TO Oregon,
100000 acres, a total to these States OF
sixteen million four hundred and fifty
seven thousand one hundred aud eighteen
acres.
On the Goth of January Mr.. Cobb intro
dueed a similar bill in the House, and both
bills are now being considered in commit
tee. The ten States named have sixty
Representatives in the House and twenty
Senators in Congress. II. may be taken for
granted that they will oppose the proposed
f0rfeitnres.

Why is it that the Attornoy-G General is
called upon to construe law which says
that eight hours shall constitute days
labor for all mechanics and laborers in the
employ of the Government? 1t would
appear that any one competent to engineer
thirty hour clock could "construe this
law. The lawmakers said eight hours
shall constitute days labor" Is there
anything difficult about that? There seems
to be at the Navy Yard and some other places
where mechanics and laborers" are en-
ployed for the Government. If necessary,
THE CRITIC will send its office-boy to any
point where construction of the law" is
desired and let him demonstrate that from
8 o'clock in the morning until o'clock in
Intervening constitutes eight hours. Sec
retary Hunt. of the Navy Department, can
secure his services at once.

were those the representatives of which
were most importunate." If that is the

order in which it will transact business,
The CRITIC proposes to be most impor-

put through. They are the Improvement of
the Potomac fats the abundant supply of
free water; an investigation of the Washing

price of gas; an equitable distribution of
the money expended in the District in the
various sections, and some other little mat
ters of that kind. In all those THE CRITIC
is interested, and will be "most importu-
nate" as to their early passage.

Eastern Arkansas is unanimous in
its efforts to induce Hon. II. NJ. Nc
Weigh, of Osceola, to become can
didate for governor.
The above We clip from the Little
Rock Democrat. Almost every day
we come across Just such notices in
the newspapers from all sections Of
the state, having reference TO the
probable candidacy Of our fellow
citizen, II. NJ. McVeigh, for the nom
ination for Governor. Knowing the
combination Of circumstances which
surround HIN, we can assure bis
many friends al over the state, that
his seeming reserve and silence is
not through want Of proper appreci-
alton of the high honor sought to be
bestowed upon him. The disasters
of last summers drought, followed
by those Of the recent overflow,

hooves them all, while, perhaps, not
unmindful of the call Of public duty,
to first attend TO their private and
pccuniary interests. II. NJ. McVeigh
has not been exempt from personal
cares and responsibilities, and has
been, for some time past, busily en-
gagged with business pertaining to
his profession-preparing his law
cases for the Circuit Court which
convenes on the Sth. prox. When
that is disposed Of, we feel author
lied to say to the people Of Arkan-

what step he shall take il, til matter

Prosecuting Attorney of this, the

Williams is a scholar, and lawyer
of fine abilities, having been engage
ed in the practice of law for nine
years. He served one term as spe-
cial Judge of the Circuit Court at
this place, and by his digniGed, i'm
partial and correct rulings, won the
esteem and respect of the bar and
litigants. He is unencumbered by
family ties, and viii make a thor
ough canvass of the district, and il
elected will make a thorough Prose-

district will give him a patient hear

the claims of other aspirants will not
forget to give him warm and gene
rous support on the day Of election.

really has business viii make it
known in a second or a second and

know busy man i generally gen

matter how busy, or how much an
noyed he may be, alway present a
