THE SCARLET LETTER.

What would be thought of a
judge who, after a case had closed
and the jury was about to retire,
should attempt 10 influence their
verdict by introducing a letter from
an important witness denying the
veracity of his verbal testimony?
Would not such action justly sub
Ject him to Impeachment and re-
moval from 1.-THE bench? And this
Is precisely what President Gibson,
acting in a judicial capacity, was
guilty of when..he introduced VAN
dergift's scarlet letter to the Council.
The reading of the testimony had
been concluded, the counsel of cor
testants had closed their arguments,
and the motion TO declare Johnston
duly elected had. been ordered to a
vote. 1t was a breach of parlia-
mentary usage TO interpose any
other matter while the order was
pending. 1t twas breach of judicial
decorum which MI. Gibson himself
acknowledged when he admonished
Councilman not to be influenced by
the contents of that letter. Why
thea did he introduce it at that
stage?

Johnston's- character. Could not
that have been done just as readily
after the Council had recorded their
verdict? Does not the interposition
of the letter prove that he did want
Councilmen Influenced by the let
ter? And now let us ask In all
candor how much Of the indelible
stain that rests upon Johnston's
character by Vandergrift's sworn
testimony has this letter wiped out I?
Does any sane'man in Omaha be-
lieve that Vandergrift wrote this
letter of his own free will and ac-
cord without inducements? Was
not Vandergrift penniless, destitute,
and without employment in this
city last week, and who furnished
the money for his transportation to
the West?
Does not this case of very trans
parent thimble-rig more than ever
confirm what Johnston himself did
not dare denys That Vandegrift was
sober when the First Ward ballots
were being counted, We can per-
sonally verify on oath, and a dozen
unimpeachable witnesses would do
the same thing. Again, If Vande-
grift had been actuated by revenge
i'm his damaging testimony against
Johnston, would it have
been necessary to send an
officer four times after him and
keep a guard owe him before he
could be induced to testify? Does
anybody suppose he could have es-
capped. the searching cross-examina-
ton of Johnston's attorney if his
allegations had..been invented for
the occasion? II this scarlet letter,
penned by Vandergrift but not
sworn to, is true, and Nandergift's
sworn testimony Is false, why did
Johnston, On oath, after listening
to that testimony, say that he did
not think V~andergift would swear
falsely?
Ifthis scarlet letter was not a very
clumsy bait for gudgeons to bite al
how came it that Councilman
Stephenson knew when the letter
was read in Council that Wander.
gift had vamoOsed? Instead OF
restoring Johnston into public con.
idence this letter stamps him as a
cunning political trickster, who
would resort to every devce to keep
his hold on office. 1t drives the
last nail linton his political coffin.
Omaha daily bee., 1874-05-12
THE VERDICT.

The City Council, acting as a
judicial tribunal on the Johnston
Banner election contest, have rem
dered their verdict. The Demo-
cratic members, by a strict party
vote, have annulled the decision Of
the sworn judges of election, and
declare Johnston as the duly elected
City Treasurer.
This partizan verdict has surprised
nobody. People who have watched
the proceedings of the Council since
its organization had long since be-
come convinced that the Demo-
cratic majority was from the outset
determined to ignore precedents
and override all legal barriers by
the arbitrary use of numerical force.
The indifference that characterized
their movements during the read
ing of the testimony and the argu-
ments of counsel furnished sufficient
proof that the verdict was a foregone
conclusion. The reading of Vande-
grift's scarlet letter was merely a
weak subterfuge to afford weak
kneed demagogues a shadow of ex-
cuse TO lean upon. And nov We
cheerfully accept. this verdict as a
victory (?) for which the people of
Omaha and Douglas county will
hold the Democracy to a strict ac-
countability. Let it be recorded
that this party, clothed with brief
and accidental power, has resorted
TO the most dIsgraceful subterfuges
for the sake of holding their grip
upon a paltry office.
Let II ever be remembered that
the Democracy have, through
their representatives in the Omaha
City Council, put a premium on
fraud and corruption by unfolding
a man who at the most favorable
aspect of the case by the plae of
his own counsel could only claim
his election by bogus tickets, PALM
ed off on unsuspecting Republicans.
Keep it before the people that John
Banner has been temporarily
choked out of an office to which he
was legitimately elected by q
tribunal blinded by 'partizan
zeal spurred on by a Bourbon organ
that never has dared to denounce
fraud and corruption, excepting in
the camp Of the opposition.
Suppose the Republican Legis-
lature of Nebraska had undertaken
TO uphold corrupt Governors and
and State officers by main force of
numbers, would not these Demo-
cratic Daniels have cited the Re
publican party to judgment before
the people? Viewing the ease from
this standpoint we are willing to
trust Judge Lake and the people
with the final verdict.

EDITOR BEE:
Again We have had an exciting
day. A Grange council has been in
session, and the County Agricultu-
raj Society. Nothing Of Importance
transpired in either, as the all i'm
portant subject of timber stealing
was on everybody's mind. You
see it had been ascertained to a,cer-
tainty, that the U, b, grand jury
were considering the matter, and
the principal actors, or those that
have from five to ten years of fuel
on hand, are rather uneasy. A meet
ing had been called at the Court
House, to devise means for protec-
ton or aid, in case any of them got
into trouble. The principal thieves
were present, and such doleful
countenances, 1 have scarcely ever
seen. Horace Allen was chosen
Chairman, and n. r. Penniger,
Secretary.
Hon. w. H. Webster addressed
the meeting at length, advising the
organization he said that nearly all
were guilty, and that means should
be taken to fix the matter up, either
through the Indian Department or
through our members i'm Congress.
He favored a secret society whereby
every member should obligate him.
self to help with money or other
wise those who should get into any
trouble. Others thought the least
said the better, and advised him to
quit until more news could be as
certained from Omaha. A Com
mittee was finally chosen, consist
ing Of seven, to frame a plan and to
draft a petition to the U. p. r. R.,
asking them to reduce freight on
road. The Committee consisted of
the following gentlemen:
c. Z. Brown, Rev. John M.
Dressler, w. H. Webster, r. J.
Sparks, Judge Brund, w. A. Porter
and Rev. J. S. Donaldson, the COM
mittee, retired, and pending their
action a recess was taken, during
which q telegram was received
from n Of the boys in Omaha ad-
vising them to go slow; so the
meeting once more came to order,
the committee called in, and after
some consultation adjourned, to
meet Friday. Later.-The boys have
all got back, and report no danger,
and all are happy.
They say the Grand Jury only
asked them about those who had
large quantities of timber, and those
that had sold, and that they sup
posed there was no saving them,
but on a final vote the jury stood ii
for indicting and 8 for acquittal. So
we are safe at least for this time and
hope for all time. The timber is
all cut now and there will be no
danger hereafter until more grows.
The weather IS fine. We have
had some rain and prospects for
more. Crops look well, and as a
general thing farmers are ahead
with their work. Those that have
gone to Omaha have had their work
done by those at home working
harder. You see this matter had
been anticipated, and all were pre-
pared.
Our town is looking up again. A
new firm have started i'm the dry
goods and grocery line, and steps
taken for a bridge across the Platte.
