THOSE COUNTER AFFIDAvITs,

| Quite number OF deputy supervisors
of registration, poll commissioners, few
clerks and one United States inspector of
election have fled, under oath. in the
Picayune, tardy plea of net guilty in
the matter Of the election frauds. Their
declarations are accepted by the Times,
Herald and Picayune as conclusive that
the statements recently made by Blan-
chard, Catlin and others are unworthy of
belief. So far as the numerous atlantis
are concerned, we can not see that their
experience has any important bearing
upon the question one way or the other.
Being subordinates in the work of con-
Quoting the election, they were not in
position to know what their superiors in
authority were doing, and it is likely no
difficulty was experienced in keeping them
in profound ignorance. Were we to adj
NIT that all who have signed the state
ments which appeared in the Picaylne
were able to fully understand their pur-
port. and that the allegations were true,
SO far as each and every one of them is
concerned, the effect would be 10 acquit
them of all blame, SO far as actual par
ticipation in the fraud is concerned, what
ever may be thought Of their vigilance
and acuteness to detect what was going
on around them.
It was simply impossible, in the nature
of the case, for these supervisors, etc., to
follow their returns, including ballot
boxes, tally sheets, ETC., through all the
stages of manipulation. Abundant op-
portunities offered themselves for chang
ing boxes or ballots, which were not ne
elected. At the same time there is no
doubt that some .of the boxes were fair
and the ballots perhaps properly counted.
[t would be no more than a wise precau-
ion to arrange it SO that some of the Off
,ers could come forward and swear with a
clear conscience that whoever else may
nave cheated, they certainly did not. Yet
We can not see how such testimony is to
ebut the statements Of other officers who
leclareo they did We have positive
'fimative testimony that fraud was en-
'loyed. Evidence has been introduced to
how that a great many subordinates
eally knew nothing at all about it. Both
tatements are doubtless true. '.I j..

BIRMINGHAM
MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY.


te"3.D@lf4 A VALLEY. T7T ~ y
An old acquaintance now in Birming.
ham, England, sends us copy of the
Morning Necs of the sixteenth of Septem-
Der. A column and half of this paper
is devoted to the subject Of free and direct
trade between Birmingham and the Mis-
sissippi valley. The matter is treated in
the modern American style. A reporter
OF the Morning Ne,cs is sent forth, pencil
and note book in hand, in search of an
item. Luckily be encounters Dr.. Worrall,
late Of New Orleans, who, having with
drawn his talents from politics, has in.
vested in commerce, was all prepared.
with an array Of facts and theories. to
convince the transatlantic Bohemian that
Birmingham and New Orleans are mutu-
ally dependent upon each other; that the
commodities interchanged by them are
subjected to great many needless
charges Direct trade is proposed as a
partial cure for these evils. Barring a
little obscurity in the matter of geograph-
ical location, and the way we do things in
America, there is much in the reported
interview that is gratifying. 1t is assumed
that the tariff imposed upon Birmingham
goods, such as cutlery, glassware, etc. is
burden enough without paying tribute to
the. New, York importers and iobbers
and defraying the expenses of land car
rage from New York to New Orleans.
Doubtless this trade, or any other, is
open to any capitalist in the world. If a
man, living, as he does, a
great many miles from deep water, wishes
o compete with the Liverpool exporter,
'harter ship, load it with Bir1ning CHAM
foods consigned to New Orleans, with
riders for q return cargo of grain, the
Vay Is open to him to go ahead. u, he
inds such profit in the enterprise as TO
ncouage him to keep it up, it VIII be SO
ouch the better for him and for us; if he
aiis, perhaps he alone will suffer. The
deas Of the Morning Meas and the dis
hgaished gentleman whom the reporter
iterYieFed are certainly primitive, and !
esa n n, better adapted to q new found
pening fofc1rn nerce between an old cnyd
i'd the far West than, to :, worlds high
az that has been known to commerce for
lore than century. Iet We are in favor

no fair minded man will deny; but the

characteristic of the Fusion press through
