HALIFAX, Mar. 6.
The storm signal was hoisted few min

severity to occur this week, was to be veri

from the north, suddenly changed to due
south. indicating the near approach of heavy
weather from the latter direction. Towards
evening it shifted to the southeast and began
to rapidly increase in strength.
Shortly after rs o'clock tonight snow be-

heavily, drifting tercely before the wind

PROFANE kEIfER.
His Statement Regarding the Cores
pOndents' Difficulty Branded as
False by Gen. BOyntOn.

Gen. Boynton. chairman of the committee
of correspondents, having charge of the
newspaper galleries of the Houses of Con
gress, publishes a statement in which he
quotes this language of Keifer's defence to
the correspondents resolution: 1.-The coarse,
vulgar and profane language which is at
tributed to me has, of course, no foundation
in fact No such language was ever used by
me during the time the gallery was occupied
by ladies'. No member of the press saw me
on the subject. l never thought of using
such language and never did use it toward
the press" This" Gen. BOynton writes,
lis absolutely false. Coarse and profane
language was used iand more profusey, too,
than was recited in the correspondents res
olutons; although it was after the crowd
left the gallery and while the correspondents
were attempting to have it closed to out
siders during the next forenoon.

The Alabama CLAIMS COmmission-Ty.
biographical Errors in the Tariff Bill.

The clerk of the court of commissioners of
the Alabama claims, has made a partial est
mate of the amounts involved in the claims
now pending before that court. Twenty-Five
hundred cases out of the 800 filed, aggre-
gate nearly fourteen million of dollars with
out interest. Ifjudgments were awarded for
the amounts claimed in these cases. the in
terest would probably run aggregate up to
twenty millions. 1t will thus DE seen that
the court will have no difficulty in dsposing
of the undistributed remainder of the Geneva
award-about ninety-five millions. The
court nov has under consideration two ques-
tons of considerable interest to the claim
ants, namely: First, whether in certain cas-
es awards shall be made upon a gold or cur
rency basis, having reference to the war
premium on gold; and second. what within
the meaning of the act creating the court. is
confederate cruiser" and does a privatecr.
without letters of marque from the confeder-
ate government. come within the meaning of
this act.
Among the items of appropriation stricken
out of the sundry civil bill in the conference
committee, was the item giving Charles
Reed $1,000 for conducting the defence Of
Guiteau. Reed, therefore, fails to get his
fee. Mr.. Mcpherson, clerk of the House
says that there are many typographical and
clerical errors in the tariff bill as it appeared
in the Congressional Record. The tax on
tobacco is printed eighty cents instead of
eight cents, and in the iron schedule there is
clause which was not printed in the Record
at all. He is of the opinion that when the
bill shall be accurately printed in full, it will
be found more satisfactory than it now
seems to representatives of iron interests

An Inspiring Record.

The last session Of Congress breathed
new life into the republican party. There
are good reasons now to entitle it to the
confidence and support of the country. 1t
has again proved by its acts that it can be
trusted to take care of national inter
ests in trying situations. In time of war
the republican party conscripted and taxed
the people to maintain the government
But the war having ended and the neces-
sity of excessive taxation ceased, the par
ty has commenced the removal Of the bur-
den of taxation upon the people, and
turned its attention to fostering the arts
OF peace, and the encouragement of indus
try and commerce.
The Congress which has just expired
was not without its faults. 1t ought to
have passed the shipping bill, and to
have done many things which it has not
done But it has done so much that is
good and praiseworthy that the sum
far outweighs its sins of omission
or commission. An exchange says:
This Congress was by no means free
from faults; it was badly organized and
it has perpetrated some grave blunders;
but when it can number among itstriuinphs
such sngal achievements as the enact
ments of civil service reform, two-cent
postage. the anti-polygamy measure, the
revision of the tariff and the reduction of
taxation to the extent of seventy odd mil
lions, besides many smaller deeds of merit,
it presents a record which is seldom sur
passed. 1t has had u stormy career and
challenged wide criticism. but it clears up
as it closes. The republican majority
c,me out substantially true. at the end and
the republican ship. which staggered and
we'll nigh foundered in the tempest of SS2.
will right up and sail onward with full
canvas for the voyage of 1884"
These be true and inspiring words. The
Forty-seventh Congress has made a mark
that will be noted to its credit. and will
rebound to the honor and prosperity of
the republican party. For whatever has
been achieved in the way OF lessening the
burdens Of the people. has been accom-
plshed by the republicans in the teeth OF
bitter opposition by the democracy. In
war the democracy opposed increase of
taxation that was needed to pay and feed
the soldiers that were fighting the battles
of the country now that peace has come
to stay and the revenues OF the govern
ment are out-running the demands upon the
treasury including reduction of the public
debt, with equal perverseness the democ-
racy oppose the reduction of taxation
Wrong in war in refusing to tax. the de-
mocracy are Just as wrong now in oppos-
ing the cutting down of taxation.
The republicans were right then
and they are right now. Which party
will men trust. believe in. and adhere to
the party which is always wrong, or the
party which is always right when duty
calls? We point to the record of the
Forty seventh Congress with pleasure rs a
test of the two parties. If there are any
doubling. hating. hesitating republicans,
let them read the record and renew their
allegiance to the grand old party which
has always proved safe and sure in ali
irving emergencies.
