Q-How came he To give it to you?
Ave were making up money to get IA
quart of brandy, when he gave him the
counterfeit notes, but did not use them in
purchasing the brandy. ..
Odd he say that they were counter

Odd sou not approach him to borrow
money?
Al do not recollect, but i may have

The testimony being concluded, the At
tOrney General stated to the court that
the evidence against the defendant did not
come up to his expectations, and under
the circumstances he would not ask the
Commissioner to bind the defendant to
appear before the Federal Court. OF course
Mr.. Taylor was discharged at once.
SAMUEL JENKINS,
of Carter county, was next brought to
trial, and two OF the Secret Service men
were sworn
The first detective stated that he pur-
chased twenty dollars in counterfeit money
from Jenkins, all in fifty cent bills. He
represented himself to Jenkins as coun-
terfeiter, and thus obtained the money,
which he marked and placed in an envel-
ope and marked the envelope. IL was a
counterfeit money transaction, and lac
told me of two other occasions on which
he passed counterfeit money. One time, in
paying bridge toll he gave Il twenty dollar

It is fact for Lolisianians to feel
ashamed of that there is very large
class of men in their State who have
fallen SO low in the scale of political
morality as to denounce with the most
opprobrius epithets and assail in the
most degrading manner the private
and public character of any and all
who differ with them OH subjects affec-
ting the political questionsoft the day,
cen though the dissenter be the high
est and most honorable dignitary in
the land, or the humblest, purest citi-
zen. The sanctity of private life, the
respect due to the judicial ermine and
an oath of Office, are entirely disre-
garded BY the class of human vultures
OF whom We speak. They are moral
excrescencess whose presence in such
great numbers indicates an unhealthy
political atmosphere.

A GROSS ERROR, AT LEAST.

In giving his testimony before the
o. S. Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections, which is now consider
ing the rival claims of Ray and Nc
Millen to seats in the Senate, Gen.
Geo. A. Sheridan, Fusion candidate
for Congressman at large at the recent
election IN this State, expressed con-
viction that ten thousand colored
voters cast their ballots for the Fusion
ticket We will not initiate the style
now prevalent with some of our bretl-
rem Of the Louisiana press and de-
nounce Gen. Sheridan as a wilful
falsifier of patent fact, but we will say
that his expressed opinion, viewed in
the mildest light, is undoubtedly a
gross error Of Judgment We desire
as a rule to avoid rash statements, and
think it will be no Infringement of the
same to say that Of the intelligent
citizens Of this State who supported
the Fusion candidates and were con-
versant with the political situation
throughout the recent campaign and
election, not one in hundred will
coincide with the belief expressed by
the witness mentioned above.
Let us suppose the vote of Ascension
parish to have been a fair representa-
tive of that of the whole State, for
here there was no intimidation and no
fraud. The Fusion parish ticket here
wasNcomposed in the main of upright
men who would have madel.excellent
public servants; they held more pub
lie meetings, made better Republican
speeches and more of them than the
Republican candidates themselves;
in short, used al the means in their
power to divide and overcome the
Republican majority by fair words and
actions, but with what RESULT Just
this: Not six colored men in the par
ish voted the Fusion ticket, but over
q hundred whites cast their ballots for
Republican candidates.
We hold to the belief that if the
honorable and liberal campaign con-
Quoted by the Fusionists of this parish
failed to conciliate a half-dozen col
ored voters, then much. less did the
intimidation and trickery practiced in
many other parishes accomplish that
object.
Gen. Sheridan would have been
much nearer the truth of the matter if
he had declared his belief that not
more than five hundred colored men
voted the Fusion ticket, but that over
ten thousand whites voted the Repub-
lican ticket.

A Good Thing Duly Appreciated,

No beneficial revolution ever goes backward; and
TINS maxim Is as nvariabe in medicine as in poll

twenty years ago, produced revolution in the
treatment OF large class of ailments, and that
cessiui experiment" If that tide has borne the
propfietors of the celebrated vegetable specific ION
to fortune 1t has also borne thousands of human
beings, who were languishing under the effects OF
disease, weak and hopeless, out OF the depths OF
despondency into the paradise of health and cheer
