New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-11-13

| bribery in the city continues to-day, and so
| far the testimony shows an amount OF
| venaIity and rivalry that was exposed In
| New York last year. The testimony Of re-
! liable witness is fully corroborated, showing
| that there was wood paving ring designed
| to swindle the city; that large sums Of
money were raised for the purpose Of brib-
ing members Of the council to vote for the
wood pavement on Broad street, that the
affair was eoncocted and carried or in the
Office Of one member of the council, and
that when a member threatened 20 90 back
on lie whole concern, threats were made
to o. him.
The testimony SO far taken duplicates
many outsiders, including the notorious Il.
Lister Smith, Alderman McMullen and the
patentee Of one kind of wood pavement.
1t is believed that those who are expos
ing the affair do so at the risk OF Their
lives, some Of them implicated in this being
implicated in the Brooksman and Dough
erty affair.
