Darlington the Conspirator.
1t is the trouble Of ConsPirators that hired
witnesses sometimes testify too much The
Abolition court martial which has been sitting
in Indianapolis, investigating and promulgatine
the alleged reasonable conspiracy of secret
society, called the Sons of Liberty, found a
witness Of this character the othey day in one
| Stger, The paid detective and hired witness OF
| BOBBY Brigadier Carrington. Stiger has been
| the chief witness for the Government in the
conspiracy cases, and his testimony against
Democrats has been regularly telegraphed to
the Abolition papers as astounding develop
ments and gospel truth. On Wednesday night
last, St;ger was placed on the witness stand and
testified as follows:
81 went into the Order as q United States
Detective. and entered the Order for the pur-
pose of disclosing the secrets thereof. Gov
ernment officials employed me with full knowl-
edge of what | was about 10 do. General

eral Darlington from time to time; some times
| reported once a week, sometimes twice a
month, sometimes in writing and sometimes o.

time, the progress Of the plans Of the insur-
rection. | communicated with him continual

"Hc knew from me all about the programme
Of the seizing Of the arsenal here, the Iibera-
ton Of the prisoners at Camp Morton, and

the question Of defendants counsel was over

1t is not surprising that the Commission
Of military officials should precipitately adjourn
npon hearing such Development neither Is
II surprising that this portion Of Stiger's testi-
mony has bcea rigidly suppressed by those Alb
0t5'on journals whose went it has been for
months TO publish all gers disclosures at the
expense Of having It telegraphed specially
They VIII never publish this leaf OF treason
and conspiracy; but they will continue to de-
lude their readers with tie oft repeated lie that
the Democracy Of Indiana have been convict
ed Of treason.
The BOBBY Brigadier Carringtou, who de-
serted from his regiment at Lebanon, Kentucky,
and who has since succeeded in maintaining
position he has douhy dishonorcd BY acting as
the spy Of the Administrations, lock breaker
tattier, eaYeslropper and conspirator-Car-
rington appears in his true character in this
precious bit OF testimony by his stool-pigeun
StigeT. Carrington and Doid, another stool
pigeon, appear TO be the only consprators vet
developed in the whole Investigation Car
rington, acting under the authority Of Govern |
ment, sent Stiger 70 organize reasonable lodc- !
cs, whore no such lodges before existed, and to |
entjce men to commit treason who never be-
fore dreamed Of treason And for what pur- |!
pose in ''order that they might be brought |
to justice."-in order that innocent men should |
be punished-iu order that Darlington might |
secure the pay his cowardice had forfeited, and |
and that his itching for notoriety might begrat-
ified--in order that Morton, the arch conspirs- |
tor and balot-box stuffer, might perpetuate his |
reign by fraud, deception and f,lsehood-in or
der, finally, that Joseph Holt might aid his
masters election by issuing a slanderous, ma
liciously false and outrageous pamphlet, charg-
ing million of men better than himself with
treason. This IS what the Booby Brlgadier
conspirator Darlington has done Hisown de-
tective and paid witness convicts Carringtoa |
of fraud, treason, conspiracy and perjury; and
these, added to the other qualities of coward, |
spy and humbug, combine to render him the
most detestable and Infamous scoundrel that /
has turned up in history since Titus Oates suf-
iered martyrdom in the stocks, to which his
successor deserves to be sentenced.
