four weeks. He was not a lawyer, and
had no lawyer present to represent
him; he depended entirely upon
members of the committee. IL the
gentleman turning to Keifer) was not
able and ready to go on and prove, a.
he said, the charges against him, he
(Boynton) was entirely ready, If he
could have an opportunity TO cross
examine keifer under oath, to go on
and reverse all ordinary rules
of law and prove himself
innocent OF those charges
by testimony which he thought would
be accepted, not only by members of
the committee, but by the country.
He would be able to do that before the
sun went down. He thought it only
just to him that the gentleman who
made the charges should stand here
like man and answer his oath in re-
gard to those charges and not stink
behind any technicality. Let the par
ties to this case face the charges
and answer for themselves under the
pains aud penalties of perjury. He
was anxious TO have this case go on
He had few witnesses, but they were
all here, and after the long delay from
the day the house ordered the investi-
CATION, ii seemed TO him there was no
excuse whatever for any one making
such grave charges not 10 be able to
answer before the committee.
Coleman said Keifer would swear to
all he charged, and prove it to the
satisfaction of the committee.
Keifer said he did not suppose his
duty extended very far, but the com
niissioner's duty a great way, He
was not called upon to abandon all his
proper duties on the floor and In the
committees to pursue this investiga'
ton, as though he were pursuing
General Boyton with vengeance. lie
had no answer 10 make 10
what General Boynton had said
he had no buncombe to put in-noth"
ing of that kind. He had not time to
make preparation for the investiga-
ton, and could not very well be ex-
aInined now, as there were certain
matters connected with this case
which were out of his reach.
Chairman Hopkins said as General
Keller had knowledge of some facts
bearing on the Investigation ana WAS
present, he could see no reason Tor
postponement.
General Boynton thought that as
General Keller was one who had fnll
kno Wedge of all the facts or alleged
facts in regard to the matter, II he
would appear and be sworn ana sta,e
the case under oath, the investigation
could proceed, with the knowledge OF
facts as they were alleged In posses
sion of the committee. General Keller
certainly could not plead he was
not ready to make his state
ment OF the case rs he
understood il, and he would not de-
cline 10 make 1t under oath.
Keller read telegram from wit
ness in New jersey, but he would not
show his hand by giving his name TO
the other side, stating that his wife
was sick, but II necessary for Keifer's
personal vindication he would come
TO Washington on Monday.
After some further talk, 1t was de-
cided to adjourn the case till Wednes'
day next.

plished wife OF John Adams writes of
him to her husband: Dignity, ease
and complacency, the gentleman and
the soldier look equally blended in
him, modesty marks every line and
feature OF his face And yet he WAS
man, from boyhood his heart throb-
bed with the warm impulses of human
nature. At fifteen he was In love,
and was too bashful to tell his love,
but wrote these lines:

Captain Morris had carried Off the
prize. In 1859 he married the widow
Custis, afterward known as Martha
Washington. In old age he was very
fond of shell-bark hickory nuts, and
would chat with his friend and eat
them for an hour. He was twice
elected President of the United States,
and died December, l779. There are q
number of good doctors now in Fort
Worth, under whose care he could
probably have lived ten years longer.
When the news of his death reached
England, the English fleets lowered
their flags, and Napoleon, first consul
OF France, ordered black Grape upon
the army standards for ten days. His
history has been written in few
words. First in war, first in peace,

When in command of our armies,
struggling for the republic, he was
asked to order company to fire upon
a camp brawl, which his officers had
been unable to suppress. Laying aside
his sword, and refusing to take his piss

Springfield Times.
The recent decision of tho supreme
court in the capital commission case,
furnishes striking example of the
power OF q railroad company to manipu-
late courts as we'll as legislatures. We
do not mean to charge that the majority
of the court in this instance we're openly
corrupted by the use OF money, OF: that
they we're thus influenced at all, because
we have no knowledge upon which to
base such an allegation. 1t is we'll
known fact, however, that the Northern
Pacific railroad company, have from the
start, through their employed agents,
done everything in their power to pro.
mote this capital commission steal, and
to uphold and support the men and
means employed to carry it into effect.
When the bill was before the legisla-
ture their paid agents led by Big Aleck,
and Wells, Of jamestown, were on hand
by the score, with rolls Of greenbacks at
their command to secure its passage.
They worked diligently and faithfully to
the end, spent their money freely in
setting 'em up to the boys, and had the
satisfaction OF seeing their labors
crowned with success. OF course the
time and money they spent so freely and
Iav,shly was 40 spent, all for the good OF
the dear people. No selfish motive ever
prompted them to work in the interests
Of great railroad corporation, and
spend Thousands Of dollars for il. to 10.

rilden Not "a Candidate.

New York, June I'm regard to the
story that MIR. Dana had seen a letter
written by Mr.. Tilden to the effect that
he would not accept the democratic
nomination, the Sun says this morning:
Mr.. Dana has never seen or read
letter written by Mr. Tilden to be read
at the New York state convention. MIR.
Tilden has never said to Mr.. Dana that
he wrote shch letter two months ago.
Mr.. Dana has no reason to think that
such letter has been written. There
is no doubt, however, and there was no
reason for doubt at any time during tho
past four years, concerning the question
whether or no Mr.. Tilden would accept
nomination to the presidency. It has
always been certain that he would decline
it, and it is equally certnin now.
