The Keifer.Boxnton Case.

The committee has reported in the
Keifer-BOyntOn case, and the report is not
at all complimentary to the eX-Speaker.
1t will he remembered that Mr.. Keifer
charged on the floor of the House that,
near the close of last Congress, Mr.. BOyn-
ton, the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, attempt
ed to bride him. Mr.. Keifer went so far
as to give the alleged conversation that
took place when the offer was made. Mr..
Boynton denied the charge and
asked for a committee of the
House to investigate it. The committee
was appointed and a thorough investiga-
ton had. The committee in their report
say that Mr.. Keifer's charge is not sus-
tanned by the evidence he produced. The
report places Mr.. Keifer in very I'M
pleasant position. He stands convicted,
as far as a committee Of Congress can
convict him, of having uttered false
hood on the floor of the House for a
malicious purpose.
If Mr.. Keifer were the. kind of a man to
be crushed that report would crush him.
\ little more than year ago he occupied
the Speakers chair, and even now he re-
CARDS himself as the leader of the Repub-
lican side of the House. The House will
doubtless adopt the report. Itcan hardly
do otherwise. Will Mr.. Keifer resign?
Can he remain and hold up his head after
such a condemnation?

The Land Grant Bill.

The bill fOrfeiting a large part of the
Northern Pacific land grant will, it is
expected, be reported favorably to the
House to-day. The report favors con-
firming all the grant that was earned by
the company up to July 4, 1879. At that
date the extended time for completing
the road expired. The report also favOrs
validating all lands sold to actual settlers
in the uneaTned part of the grant. If the
bill passes the company will lose about
100000 acres. The company is, of
course, doing all it can to defeat the bill.
If it passes its validity will be tested in
the Supreme Court. The Northern Pacific
Company has now completed its road, and
the point will be made that if Congress
intended to forfeit the unearned part of
the grant when the time for completing
the road had expired, it ought to have
done it without delay. There is not
much probability that any part OF the
grant will eyer become a part of the
public domain again. The bill making
the forfeiture, if passed, may be good
campaign document in some localities,
but the people generally will hardly be-
lieve that the company will lose its land.
There are other grants, however, which
ought to be forfeited, and which, doubt
less, will be. The Atlantic and Pacific
has built a part of its road, but doesn't
show disposition to build any more OF
it. At least 40, 100000 acres of its grant
are unearned. There are half a dozen
grants to roads in the South which ought
to be forfeited at once. No beginning has
ever been made to build the roads to
which the grants were made, and there is
no immediate prospect that beginning
will be made. The lands are kept out of
the market, however, by the claims made
to them, and the growth of the localities
in which they are is checked. 1t is to be
hoped that the lands, concerning the right
to forfeit which there is no question, will
be declared to belong to the government
without needless delay.

A New York correspondent says that
the Tammany politicians are somewhat
unhappy. 1t is said that they are finding
serious rivals in the bOssing business in
the IrOquOis Club, of Chicago. Some
weeks ago the Tammany leaders secured
rooms in one of the leading hotels near
the hall in which the Democratic cOnven-
ton is to meet. 1t appears now that the
IrOquOis Club has Ousted the New York
politicians under pretense of prior lien
on the rooms. The latter viii have to
look out iOr new quarters, and perhaps
will not be able to secure a good "strate-
gic" position. a committee has been sent
to Chicago by the Tammany chiefs to
look after their interests.
The Tammany men, it is alleged, are
now bending every energy to resuscitate
the sold ticket" and~they have literary
bureau, it is asserted, actively at work
corresponding with prominent Democrats
all over the Union. Their plan not only
includes the proper engineering of the
boom, so as to make the greatest impress
sion on the people, but the bringing of the
pressure TO bear on Mr.. Tilden himself,
50 as to obtain his consent for the use OF
his name at Chicago.
The Iroquois tribe is not in favor of the
''old ticket" 1t has not yet been de-
veloped who is the Chicago favOrite. 1t
is possible that the chief aim of the club
will be to get the second place on the Ma
tional Democratic ticket for Carter Harri-
son, and it is probable the Harrison men
will favor Bayard for the first place on
the ticket.
There seems to be no doubt that a good
deal of unkind feeling is being developed
between the rival clubs. 1t might be of
service to them both to be put on notice
that they need not assume too much to
themselves in regard to the Democratic
nomination. They might save good deal
of trouble as well as cash to bear in mind
that the Democrats all over the Union are
going to have voice in the Presidential
nomination this year, and probably the
most popular ticket that can be chosen
will be one that has no connection directly
or Indirectly with any of these great
political clubs.

Dividing with the Druggist.


''Look here" said an uptown druggist,
'displaying a physicians receipt, ''what
do you make Of it?" The receipt read:
''Tgne lcniZ 10 ri. Sig ext. use. :"
''YOu would not imagine that read, COX
Zinci Ungt. for external use,' would you
Then the dotted line is hieroglyphic for
a we'll known physicians name"
''What is the object of mixing the thing
up that way?" asked the reporter
''This druggist" answered the apothe-
cary, "has a big run of these prescrip-
tions. Reat 'Tignu Icniz Xo' backward
and you have the abbreviated Latin for
mula for Oxide of Zinc. A green druggist
would puzzle over it and say, Take that
prescription TO the druggist whose name
is printed there; l can't fill it..
If he understood the trick
he. would not fill the prescrip-
ton, because the physicians name is
not legible, and, in the event of any
accident happening, he could not throw
the responsibility upon the doctor. The
trick is done to secure the trade for the
druggist and q commission for the ply
stefan. Another trick in the trade is to
write in superiuously the name of rare
or unused drug that few druggists keep,
or to write in one of few words without
meaning, that the druggist and doctor
understand are to be disregarded. 1t is a
disreputable practice. and might lead to
fatal mistakeS.0

WHY Mr.. sargent nesigned.

The attempt was made by the State De-
partment to create the impression that
the appointment of Minister Sargent to
Berlin was not only promotion, but was
intended to show that the government APP
proved his acts at Berlin. The truth ap-
pears to be that the appointment was
nothing more nor less than delicate way
of informing Mr.. Sargent that the govern
ment no longer needed his services. The
English, French, German and Russian
Missions all rank as. irst-class, and the
salary of each is the same-S11 800
but the English mission is regarded as
the most desirable and the Russian the
least desirable. The change from Berlin
to st. Petersburg was not, therefore,
promotion. A peep behind the scenes
shows that Mr.. Sargent, Notwithstanding
the highly complimentary telegram to him
of the Secretary Of State, has not conduct
ed matters in Berlin to the satisfaction Of
the State Department. 1t is stated that
on his own responsibility Mr.. Sargent
addressed a note to Count Won Hatzfeldt,
Imperial Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, in which he
limited that unless the prohibition
respecting the importation of American
pork were removed, the American Gov
eminent might decide upon adopting re-
taIiatOry measures. Mr.. Frelinghuysen
addressed Mr.. Sargent a note, in which he
informed him that his note to Count
hatfield was out of place. Mr.. Sargent
was required to submit to the humiliation
of reading this note to the German Secre-
tary. After Mr.. Sargent was discredited
by his own government Bismarck did not
hesitate to snub him, and Bismarck's or
gans sought opportunities to speak insult
ingly of him. Mr.. Sargent is probably a
sincere man, and doubtless meant to serve
his government to the best OF his ability.
He lacks the qualities of a diplomat,
however, and it is probably a good thing
for the country that his career in that line
has closed.

Our esteemed contemporary, the lete-
grdph and Messenger, in commenting on
our article favoring only one State Con-
vention. closes long article as follows;
The real reasons for one convention,
and an early one. though not made public,
are well understood. When the necessity
arises they Will be uncovered.
Our contemporary does us an injustice
if it thinks we were not perfectly frank
in giving our reasons for only one con-
venuon. There may be those who have
reasons for one instead Of two conven-
tons, which they have not stated, and
which they do not wish to state at present,
but we do not know them nor their
reasons. We have nothing to keep back
in the matter, and have no purposes IN
view which the public does not already
know. If the s'reaI reasons to which our
contemporary refers are uncovered, and
| they have no resemblance to those which
we have already given, they Will not be
our reasons. All we want is good state
ticket. a good electoral ticket, and a
| Chicago delegation that will COM
| mand confidence and respect. We
| think one convention can give
US what we want. 1t is true the conven-
ton will have to be held rather early in
the latter part Of June-but as we have
already shown that is not a very serious
! objection. We are inclined to think that
in selecting electors the tariff views of the
| candidates will not be very closely in
/ quired into, and as far as that point is
concerned, therefore, it doesn't make
| much difference whether they are named
before or after the Chicago Convention.
Georgia Democrats can be depended upon
to support the national ticket whether
the nominees believe in a tariff for reve-
nue. or a tariff with incidental protection
The prospect that the incidental protec'
ton nonsense will receive any recognition
by the convention is so remote, however
that it is hardly worth considering.

\ arning.

There is scarcely a doubt that if Berner,
penalty which he deserved melted the Gin
cinnati riot, had been without friends or
money he would have been found guilty
of murder and sentenced to be hanged.
His father had $4,000 or $1,000 to spend
and this sum procured the best legal
talent. The evidence was clear as to
Berner's guilt, but 4 jury was secured
that could be relied on not to convict.
Old practitioners at the bar can remem-
Der when a criminal lawyers reputation
was made by his skill in. handling the
evidence and by his ability to influence
the jury by his elOquence. Nowadays,
however. the successful criminal lawyers
are, as a rule. those who know best how
to get a friendly jury. The liberal ruling
of the courts. the carelessness of sheritts
and the slight regard for human life all
help the sharp criminal lawyers in cheat
ing the gallOws of its just dues. In the
Berner case j04 people were summoned
before Il jury was obtained. The prac-
tice of rejecting 4 man as juryman
who has read the facts of a case,
and has an impression respecting Its
merits. results in keeping intelli-
gence out of the jury box. Sheriffs, in
stead OF hunting for responsible men when
a panel is exhausted, summon the lOafers
about the court room, who, if they are
not friends of the accused, can very often
be induced, for a small consideration, to
become his friends. In Cincinnati the
people have lost confidence in the jury
system. 1t is probably true that there is
very little confidence in the system in
criminal matters anywhere in the cOun-
try. There must be a radical reform in
the administration of criminal laws. If
there isn't, vigilance committees will at
tempt to do by means of lynch law what
the courts of justice fail to do. The riot
at Cincinnati is a warning that it will be
wise for every community In the country
to heed.
