WAMIIISOTCN , March 11. The vote on
the bonded extension bill helps to widen
the broach between the Carlisle nnd
Randall winga of the party. The Car
lisle people nro n good dcnl disgruntled
thnt Ilmdall should have beaten them in
their pot scheme , and Randall and his
followers are quite comfortable over the
fact that they did beat them. The wool
people are chuckling over the defeat of
the whisky bill. Of course they did not
openly oppose it , but they recognized the
fact that the whisky people did not rally
to the support of the wool bill. "The
fact is , " said ono of the wool men to
your correspondent , "wo who nro in
favor of the restoration of the wool tariff
are not going to worry ourselves and
rush to the support of the whisky bill.
These people oppose our measure and
talk nbout special Ingialation , and yet
they want legialation which is more de
cidedly special in its nature than our
bill. It looks very bad for this demo
cratic house t > be running around pro
tecting whiaky when they refuse to pro
tect n million wool growers. "
THE SOUTH FOll AHTHUlt.
Special Dispatch to The BEK.
WASHINGTON , March 11. The pro
nounced sentiment in the Louisiana re
publican convention in favor of the re-
nomination of President Arthur will
probably bo re-echoed by the republicans
of nearly every state in the south. A
prominent and wealthy Kentucky repub
lican bore recently said in conversation
with your correspondent that he had no
doubt of the election of a strong Arthur
delegation in Kentucky. Inqiiniea
among southern republicans living hero
show this sentiment will be very strong
in nil the southern states , with perhaps
ono or two exceptions. North Carolina
will probably be for Sherman , as it waa
four years ago.

WASHINGTON , March 11. Davis , of
Illinois , made an argument before the
houao commerce committee to day in fa
vor of retaliatory legislation for the treat

and that their exclusion ia from political
or commercial motives , and not these of
safety for the people , aa ia claimed. The
sub-committee ia understood'to bo favor
able to Davis' proposition , but whether
the full committee ia so ia uncertain. The
matter is to bo considered by the full

Mr. Binghnmrop. ( , Pa.oppostd ) the
bill , saying the recent reduction of past
ago must not bo made nn oxsuso for a
limited appropriation. It was the pur
pose of the democrats to clnim thnt tfioy
had cut down the expenses of the post
oflico department. Ii they did so it
would bo without regard to the demands
of the service.
Mr. Holman ( dom. , Ind. ) defended the
bill , nnd denied that it in any wny tend
ed to cripple the service. On the con
trary , it wns calculated to cause increased
efficiency.
Mr. Townshcnd deprecated bringing
politics into the consideration of a bill of
this character. Ho compared the bill
with the bill of thia fiscal year , to show
that the republican party of the last
house had made a poor pretense of econ
omy in order to throw the necessity of
passing n deficiency npproprintirn upon
the pruaont congress. Townahond then
proceeded to arraign the republican party
for past offenses in the administration of
government for the loat 15 years. No
American citizen could rend the record of
thnt party without n face criraaoning with
ahnmo for hia country. Many of the
founders of that party were pure and no
ble men , but whore were they ? Gone.
When the republican party wai convert
ed into n spoils-hunting band , they left it
and joined the only political party which
had patriotic ideas. Townshcndcontiiiuod
in this strain , referring to corrupt rings ,
plundering treasury star route investiga
tions , etc. The speech was received
with applause by the democrats and
laughter and npplauao by the republi
cans.

MOIlltlSON'S MISCniKV.
HIS 1JILI. TO DIVIDE THE DEMOCIIACY.
WASHINGTON , March 11. The major
ity nnd minority reports of the wnys nnd
means committee on the Morrison tariff
bill were submitted to the house to-day.
The division in the committee was upon
strict party linos. Morrison waa asked
when ho proposed to call the bill up for
action. He said did not know. The
other members of the committee express
ed the opinion that it would come up
next weok.
weok.THE
THE MA.TOIUIIY KErOUT.
After , referring to the clause in the
president's message which speaks of the
work of the tariff commission , and quo
ting from the report of that commission
to congress , in which it estimates the
average at between 20 and 25 par cent ,
and to the statement pf the chairman of
the senate on finance in presenting the
bill that would reduce the revenue $40 ,
000,000 , it goa on to say that these pre
dictions have not boon verified by the
operations of the law , so that the quca
tiou still presses , What legialation is
necesjary to relieve the people from
UNNECESS VUY IIUUDIINS.
The committee find that for the first
six months , during which the now law
embodying the ideas of the tariff commis
sion was in force , thu duties paid were
nearly -11 per cent of the vnluo of the
goods imported ; thnt for the correspond
ing period of the year 1882 , under the
old law , the duty paid waa eomowhat
leas than 42J per cent of the value of the
goods imported ; thattho exact average of
the reduction made by the now law in
comparison with the old law , was only
ono nnd seventy four hundredths per
cent. The report continues : This exhi
bit of a reduction in rates , made Marcl :
3,1883 , amounting to 1.74 per cent of
the duty , is subject to an importan
modification resulting from changes ii
value and other conditions , some of
which will increase and others reduce the
comparative ad valorem rates.
THE NOMINAL UEDUCTION
nifulo by the proposed bill is twenty per
cent , or one-fifth the present rates
With the Merrill tariff limitations in the
bill , and the liquor nnd silk schedules
omitted , as they are , the reduction on n
baahof last year's imports will not exceed
fifteen nnd seventy-four hundredths per
cent on the whole importation of duti
able goods. The report then speaks of
wood , lumber , coal , and salt being put
on the free list as articles of universal
use and of necessity to all people , and
continues :
THE DECKEAKE IN THE REVENUE
as shown by the receipts under the new
law , other than that roaulting from the
nominal reduction of 1.74 per cent , re
suits from the falling off to the value o :
nearly 82D,000,000 of imports in the firs
half year under the now law , compared
with the first half of the provioua you :
under the old law. "
The Crouch Murder Trial.

to wring from George Ballos , the colored
boy who slept in the house at the time of

morning , a difference with hia forme ;
statements , but without success. Everj
move , action and word he deacribod re
peatedly alike. Although the attornoya
on both sidoa endeavored to crosa him to
show ho knows more than ho told , the.
were without success. Ho refused to go
into the trunk ho said he laid in thai
night nnd stayed there five hours , because
cause ho eaid he didn't think it woulc
benefit anybody. He did not have to ,
but he had no doubt that if nocosiary ho
could crouch up in there and stay just as
long as ho did that night. Ho thought
the reason it did not make him stiff and
uoro was became of the excitement. The
court room is crowded every day There
are a dozen more witnesses yet to bo
sworn by the prosecution.

KEIPKU AND 11OYNTON.
W1IAT SKCRUTAUY FOLOEll KNOWS.
WASUIHOTON , March 11. Secretary
Folger appeared before the Koifor-Boyn-
ton committee this morning , bearing sev
eral papers on file in his department ,
touching on the character of Chnrlua S.
Gar field and W. B. Moore , who are ex
pected to bo called us witnesses. Aa the
papers were original ones and as the
present waa the proper time to submit
them us evidence , it was agreed if Gen.
Boynton should desire to obtain them ,
copies could bo procured from the de
partment hereafter. U. II. Painter ,
journalist , waa the first witness examin
ed. His testimony related to the meet
ing of correspondents at which resolu
tions of censure of Speaker Keifor were
adopted.
KEIFEU 1IEINO GALLED ,
contradicted the statement made by
Boynton that on March 1,1882 , ho had a
conversation with Koifor in regard to the
appointment of Jorgensen na receiver of
the land ollico nt Walla Walla to succeed
Reed , of Ohio. The witness * attention
being called to the testimony bearing up
on thu interview in Boynton's oflico on
the night of March 1 , at which the tariff
bill wns diacus.iod , ho said ho had a con
vernation upon the tnriff bill with Boyn
ton before February 27. At thnt time
the tnriff bill wna on the speaker's tablo.
He pointed out the rule which would re
quire him , if a point of order vrero made ,
to decide that the bill must go to thu
committee of the whole , which would de
feat it. Their conversation could not
have taken place later than the 27th , be
cause on that dty a resolution waa
adopted in the house making it in order
at any time to
TAKE TUB TAIim' HILL
from the apoaker's table and declare a
disagreement in the senate amondmnuts.
The examination was suspended to allow
Speaker Carlisle to take the stand. Ho
know no rule which could prevent a con
ference report from being considered by
the house upon its reception. Repre
sentative Reed gave similar evidence.
On cross-examination , Rood said lie wan
aware Blainu was nt the capital on the
Saturday before the paaaago of the tariff
bill , but did not know he wont to see
the speaker for the purpose of overcom
ing tuo opposition to the bill to which
the speaker was supposed to be a party ,
Boynton inquired whether if u confnr
enco committee made material change :
in the bill and a point of order wai
raised that on that account the bill mut
go to the committee of thu whole nnd
the speaker had declared the point well
taken and the house had sustained him ,
the bill could have boon defeated ,
lloed Ol'viously ' , it could.
KKIPKH AND THE J'UESH.
Koifor was further examined and de
nied the sworn statement made by Bar
rett , of The Beaten Advertiser , that ho ,
Keif or , had said : 'I don't care a d u
for the press. " Ho lud used no expres
sion in condemnation of the press and
had no reason for doing L.
OTIIEH WITNESSES.
0 , A , Boworsox , of Ohio , was called ,
and testified to the general good reputation -
tion of Charles B Gartiold. Being cross-
examined , witness said ho had hoard
Garfield was indicted in Indiana but did
not Know the cause of his arrest , Martin
Perky , Philetus Smith. D 0. Baxter , M
M. Bouthew. D 11. Willet nnd G. W.
Hopine , of Ohio , gave similar evidence.
They were all asked by Boynton in ref
erence to the arrest of Garfield in Ohio
on the charge of counterfeiting , but ( lit1
question in each case waa ruled out.
Boynton siid that he wiahud to eutabliuh '
the fact that
thatWAS
WAS iNinrmi Koit IUIOLAUY ;
land for BOIUH other offenses which bo had
not na ynt answered , nnd that there waa
n matter of combination between Garfield -
field , his son , ono Stovor nnd ono Mc
Donald , making up a well-known gang of
burvglnrs in that auction of country. Our-
field's aon wns tried for burglary in con
nection with some of the gang. After
the burglary ho wna concealed in Gar-
Hold's hciKo , taken out byGarficld nnd
others , nnd run olf. Ho wns traced by
the law ofllcora , brought back and con
victcd , nnd wna now in the penitentiary.
Gurtield was brought into these transac
tions in certain ways , though the proof
was not sulllciont to convict him. The
occupation of Gnrfiold in Bryan , 0. , was
for a number of years thnt of n gambler.
It could bo shown that ho was under the
surveillance of the national authorities ,
nnd the government records would show
thnt ho wna
A HEAI.KU IK rotr.YTEUKniT MO.XKY.
Ho wns nrreatod once on thnt
chnrgo , taken before United Stntca Com-
inissionor Cleveland and roWscd on a
alibi which wna not subsequently boliovod.
The gentlemen who had boon called na
witnesses thia morning , could , Bovnton
waa credibly informed , establish those
factfl. lip could also show that nt least
nil the witnesses against him were men
who had either served in the penitentiary
or were now under criminal indictment.
Coleman thought Boynton's remarks
would have proved he wai addicted to
making \
MALICIOUS ATTAUKH
upon persons if that fnct had not
already boon testified to by witnesses. So
far ns any examination into the repu
tation of G.irliold waa concerned , ho
would not shrink from , but invite the
closest scrutiny. The chairman sitg-
gcatcd that Boynton'a otl'ur of proof \\t\a
very broad , but said the question of its
ndmiesibility would bo determined when
thu testimony was presented.

OA11KIEL1) NO UUSrUCTKU OF I'EIthONH.
WASHINGTON , March 11. William A.
Coom wns examined by the Springer
committee to duy. Ho said that sliortly
after ho waa appointed special counsel in
the star route cases ho had on interview
with President Garfield , vrho told wit
ness that the cases involved many who
had boon hia special friends , but he
wanted n thorough investigation irre
spective of persona. Witness had an in
terview with President Garfield and the
postmaster general the Wednesday even
ing before the president was assassinated.
Buforo leaving I said to the president
that ho should bo careful of his move
ments. A bittorncan had arisen between
the "stalwarts" nnd "half-breeds" and
there were connected with thpso cases
men of extreme fooling. I said at the
time there might bo
Hr.SOllT TO V10LKNCK.
Such waa the impression then on ray
mind. My suj eations for the moment
touched the president but ho reapondcd
that there was no danger. The bitter
ness of fooling was so strong. I would
not have been surprised hud it carried
itself against the poatmaator general and
attorney general. I don't think that 1
used nt thnt interview the language re
cently placed on mydipa by James , but
stated in substance what I hnvo iivon ; you.
Witness strongly desired to .Luvo a line of
"
investigation pursued that "would show ,
whether Guiteiu had accomplices or not ,
but nothing came of it. Witness waa
of the opinion that
THE HUOOTINU OF TUB I'llESIDUNX
was not the individual notion of Ouitoau.
Thia ho said waa in harmony with wliat
ho suggested to the president in connec
tion with the bitternoNi between the stal-
warta and half-broods. Ho had proof
thatTWO 1
TWO OTIIVHS ACUOMl'ANIEIt ODITEAU
when ho was Hooking a pistol. Shortly
after the witness entered the employ men t
of the government ho had an idea of the
reckless , fooling on the part of tho.io. in
the star route cases that might bo carried ,
into practice.

standing nmong the counsel for the pros

Mr. Blum withdrew from the case , and
only ai the earnest solicitation of the

Public opinion ia rapidly changing in
favor of Carpenter. The almost univer
sal expression of opinion is a belief in
his innocence. Hundreds of people in
Lincoln and vicinity , including Coroner
Boydon and Sheriff \Voncholl , now ox-
prosa their disbelief in his guilt. All of
those , however , think Carpenter could
throw aomo light on the aiso as would
apprehend the murderer. In regard to
