Assessment Law.

We acknowledge the receipt of a copy
of the Assessment Law of Dakota sent
this Office by Il. w. Caldwell, Territorial
Auditor, with instructions and com
ments. which has been prepared and
issued by him under authority of set
ton 2, chapter 7 of Political Code. A
copy of this law, with instructions etc,
has been sent to every newspaper in the
territory, with the object of inducing
improvement in property assessment.
The custom hitherto prevailing of UNI
LIBERALIZATION is justly decried and freely
censured, and is reasonably considered
injudicious and even criminal. The
law especially provides for the listing of
property at its full value, and, as in all
cases, the law requires lists to be made
under oath, anything under a full valua-
ton would constitute perjury. 1t is
injudicieus for the reason that a low
assessment does not reduce the amount
Of taxes required in d~efraying the run
ning expenses of the county, and can
only result in proportionately increas-
ing the tax levy. 1t is evident that a
full and fair assessment does not in
crease the amount of taxes required by
a county, but simply confers the adj
vantage of a good reputation for both
county and territory by a favorable
showing as tO their resources and a low
rate of taxation.

WHAT TIE GRAND JURY MAY DO.
Fears of the Uneasy and Suspicious Of Those
Who Want Justice Done.

It is the general impression that If the United
States Grand Jury does not indict the men who
perpetrated the reckless and bungling tally sheet
forgeries during the canvassing of local returns.
on the night of the 4th and morning of the 9th
of November, it will not be through the want of
evidence. The investigation has been prolonged
through the force of facts uncovered each days
proceedings. The jury would close its session
with the prospect or being through on the NOR
row, but some witness would be sure to give
clew to somethnginew. and this, in turn, would
develop other facts that brought the investiga-
tors nearer and nearer the persons suspected of
having an interest in or being responsible for
the crime. A has been carefully built up
little by little until the only thug needed is the
final report showing who are the probable guilty
parties.
"What will the grand jury dol' was continu-
ally asked yesterday of those who are supposed
to have opinion about it's possible action
Answers conveying little more tha guess at
impossbities could only be given, bat they i'm :
piled more or less what ought to be done, for it
is certain all the requisite evidence leading to
the conviction of the criminals ia in the hands of
the government 1t is stating truth that there
is uneasiness in the Democratic camp, as salts.
factory arrangements have not been fully made
toward uncomfortable consequences of what at
the outset WAS considered wild goose chase
after something that could never be discovered.
Some fear has been expressed that partisan zeal
IN this affair will run away with sense of what
is just. This possible political influence in be-
half of fellow partisans who have come SO dan
gerously near to punishment is current talk,
and partly in confirmation of it has been the
desire shown by some Of the jurors to got
through with the business. and at the same time
admitting as far as their oaths of secresy would
let them, that there was enough in the inyestlga-
ton to warrant its continuance. The interest
shown by Democratic politicians has not been
obtrusive but it has all the same been intense in
exerting itself for the good of the party. A
juror of some influence has received frequent
summons to the outside while the sithngs
on, and his interest in Democratic coterles dur
ing the evenings in the hotel Hobbies has been
close while it appeared to be accidental through
the running gossip of time and place.
There can be no doubt that the
Democratic party leaders have been eagerly
DESTROYS to get all the information
obtainable as to the progress of the investiga-
ton. How much or how little is gone out is
not discoverable but ore who has been on the
anxious seat ever since the investigation began
was greatly elated the other evening at some
thing he heard from another, who is presumed
to have facts at his disposal.
Yesterday number of old witnesses were re-
To-day the vote on indictments it is thought
brought out sufficient to recall more witnesses.

CLERK BUFFERS PER DIEM.
His Explanation of the Controversy Between
Comptroller Durham and Himself

Noble c. Butler, clerk of the United States
Courts, in answer to inquiries regarding the con.
troversy between himself and Comptroller Dur
ham, said to Journal reporter yesterday:
This action of the Comptroller regarding the
clerks fees was taken last March. immediate
~ employed Shellabarger & Wilson, of Wash
ington, to bring suit for me in the Court of
Claims. and the case is now peading the meeting
Of the court next month. NY accounts were
prepared in exact accordance with the rule and
usage of the Comptrolers Office previous to the
appointment of Mr.. Durham, and in accordance
with the explicit instructions of his predecessors,
Albert G. Porter and VIM. Lawrence, ana have
been uniformly allowed, up to the present time.
in the form in which they have been presented.
Oscar B. Hord. Ferd Winter and other attorneys
here say am right. There is no sharp practice
at all about it. Under Section 1923, Revised
Statutes, every clerk OF circuit or district
court is entitled to So day for attendance on
court while actually in session. AS 1 was clerk
of both courts in 1885 would have been entitled
to my per diem in both, if there were no other
statute on the subject But in Section S3l it is
provided that when the circuit and district
courts sit at the same time no greater per diem
or other allowance shall be made to any such
officer than for an attendance on one court In
accordance with that section, | charge for the
attendance upon court only. Comptroller
Porter's letter, on file in my Office, says when
both courts are in session it is optional with the
clerk OF both to charge his per diem in either
In accordance with that rule and usage, elected
to charge my per diem in the District Court
where it could be paid instead of in the Circuit
Court where it would not have been paid, but
would have formed part of the surplus belong
ing to the government.
''While l would have been clearly entitled to
my per diem in the District Court If the Circuit
Court had not been ia session, the Comptroller
maintains that the fact that both courts were in
session made it necessary for me to forfeit at
least one-half of my per diem by charging it in
the Circuit Court, where it would as I said
have formed part of the surplus In
short he insists that / ought not to be paid
by the government more than one half the
amount authorized. for my attendance on one of
Its courts, for the reason that have attended on
two of its courts. Nevertheless he allowed and
paid the district attorney and the marshal the
full amount of their per diem In the Circuit
Court great deal of the labor and time of my
clerks is occupied in rendering services for
which the law provides no specific fees and the
same is not true of the District Court. | have
never claimed more than one per diem. aud the
law clearly intends that the clerk should haveit"

MIR. McCulloch's Sentiments Approved.

The Social Turnverein Society, at its regula r
meeting last night, addressed letter to Rev.
Oscar McCulloch. in which they indorse his ut
terances regarding the Chicago Anarchists and
commend him for the position he has taken
The letter states that in the opinion of the
members of Turnverein the sentence was too Sc
we're, for the reason that the condemned men
were not implicated in throwing the bomb and
did not approve of it. The verdict, they declare,
was not rendered in accordance with the
law and evidence in the case, but
was made to satisfy the public camor. The
letter closes by expressing the hope that Mr.
McCulloch's position may be commended
throughout the country. The letter is signed
by FRANK Vonnegut, president of the Social
Turnverein. The Central Labor Union, on Tues
day night, adopted resolutions similar in spirit
