A QUICK LIE" QUICKLY NAILED.

The New Orleans Republican, yesterday
morning, contained lengthy account OF
what purported to be an interview between
Gen. Fred. N. Ogden and the correspondents
q the Chicago Inter-O Ocean, than which :
viler or more disgusting sheet does not dis
grace the world Of journalism. The article
was taken, Of course, from the columns Of
the lnter-Ocean, and Of course it emanated
from the brain Of that sanity hypocrite and
disreputable newspaper fraud, Phelps, whose
wicked and malicious falsehoods have enured
SO much to our injury, by reason Of their
wide circulation in the West and North. We
did not believe that Gen. Ogden could even
have uttered one word Of the nonsense put
into his mouth bythis scribbler, and are not
surprised, therefore, at the very emphatic
manner in which he denies all and singular
the allegations made by Phelps, who seems

A VITAL POINT.

We trust our Conservative counsel will moi
ignore, as their brief does, the fact that tn
Returning Board is unconstitutional, null ant
| void, and that it obviously was intended b.
the licensed scoundrels who rule aud ruin US
to enable them to tamper with the votes o
the people, and to forge and counterfeit sucl
results as they needed.
This unconstitutionality, which should be
made to appear in the committees record as
fact, seemed to be strangely ignored all
through the canvass made by the spurious
body. No one doubts
1. That the peoples voting is constitu-
tional.
2. That ''returns of all members of the
General Assembly are to be made to the Secre-
tary Of State" Art, 46.]
3. That "each House" "shall Judge of the
qualifications, election and returns of its
members" Art. 3d.
Now, it may be that the Constitution would
admit a trunk, wheelbarrow or some means of
to intervene, but certainly no in
vestgating authority, discretion or judgment
to pass upon or revise, to receive or reject
No judgment or will is contemplated in the
vital and sacred function of election but the
peoples. The votes are, so to speak, the
sovereignty.
Any law that gives man or men the po,eer
% manipulate votes or returns between the
oallot-boxes and the Secretary Of State, or be
ween the latter and the two Houses, gives
power to tamper with the sovereign will and
majesty Of the people, or at least with the
wilderness fhereof

his ability to fabricate the UNANIMOUSLY immor.
tai Sheridan himself.
10 an honest man it is absolutely incon.
ceivable that creature fashioned in the
image OF man, walking upright and not
slimily crawling upon his belly, could, after
a conversation with gentleman which was
TO have been regarded as confidential, DELHI
erately set to work and pervert every word
that was uttered, and manufacture sentence
after sentence, with the diabolical purpose of
injuring whole people, by disappearing
q gentleman who is recognized as leader
among them.
The following letter from. Gen. Ogden
speaks for itself, and SO far as the people Of
this city and State are concerned, would
stand against the world; but for the benefit
Of people at a distance who do not know the
General, and who may be induced to regard
him as an irreclaimable "bandit," we add
the corroborating statement of Mr. E. C.
Hancock, who was present during the entire
interview. and heard every word that was
uttered:
New ORLEANS, Jan. %, 1875.
TO the Editor Of the Chicago Inter-Ocean
Su-Some time since, person by the name OF
Phelps, who claimed to be reporter for your
paper, was introduced to me at my place OF bust
ness. He expires sed desire to converse with
me upon the subject of the White League. 1t
was distinctly understood, however, that was
not to be interviewed in the journalistic sense.
Our conversation lasted only a few minutes. and
you can imagine my surprise in finding in your
columns long interview, consisting Of questions
aud answers, carefully arranged, purporting to
nave passed between your reporter and myself
that it is both explicitly and implicitly false. No
such interview ever took place between us. The
spirit and object Of this publication is plainly to
be seen IN the following reported question and |
answer:
Reporter-"Why az effective as ever?"
General Ogden-'You know our people almost |
to man have seen service; they sre veterans and |
have been under fire; they are disciplined men
and can never forget their training; is gears
since they 'rore the gray, but at a single ntonaent
they could form ranks and as s!eddilg qire or re-
eetce a roUey as IN '64."
ibis ls pure fabrication, and may by taken as
. fair sample Of the whole. hope that the same
publicity will BE- givento this denial, AZ you gave
TO the presented interview.
Respectfully,
FRED. N. OGDEN.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. o. 1875.
ny Dear General AT your suggestion have
ust read in this mornings Republican, a publish
ID interview between yourself and the CORE
pondent Of the Chicago Inter- Ocean,
Having been present throughout the entire in
erview, desire to state that its whole tone and
enor has therein been wilfully perverted. Senti-
which you certainly did not utter and misrepre-
entatons characterize it throughout.

rom foreign climes with glowing health and 10 Y
Arc dashed away, and now the light that burned
= S. bright and fair Deaths chill had to destroy.
But wen we know that God in mercy took
Our darling son from earths dark sin and strife
And has inscribed Ids name in life's great book
To dwell with him in everlasting life
