ity of this Board, but placed them under
arrest. If they had met with their deserts,
they would now be rusticating at the Dry
Tortugas. They have perverted the truth,
and there is no reliance to be placed in
their reports. They have sat with closed

Senator from the Second District should
attach SO much Importance to them because
his claims to a seat rest solely upon
their false and partisan efforts.
