THE EXACT FACTS.

washington chronicle.
THE EXACT FACTS.
All careful readers of the multitude.
nous statements from all sides of the
facts which transpired in Louisiana in
connection with the existing official
muddle in that State must agree on
these points:
First-The official Board of Conyass.
ers was composed of five gentlemen
three OF them Conservative Republi.
cans and two of them Democrats-aIl
heretofore believed to be fair and hon.
Orable men.
Second-That this Board, after a
most laborious and careful examination
OF the returns, gave certificates of cleo
tion to the one hundred and two Rep
resentatives who convened in the hall
OF the House at ~ o'clock last Monday
week.
Third-That fifty-two of these were
Republicans, aud fifty were Democrats.
Fcurth--That under the laws of Lou
isiana it was the duty of the clerk of
the former House to meet with the
members elect, call the roll of the men,
bers holding certificates, and to preside
until an organization should be ef-
fected.
Fifth-That the fifty Demt cratic
members, being a minority of the total
number present and answering to their
names, disregarded the above named
law, and by force put one of their own
number, a Mr.. Wiltz, in the chair as
temporary Speaker, in the face of the
open and clamOrOus protest of the fifty
two Republican members, being ma
jority OF all.
Sixth-That these fifty members,
without any election, and in opposition
to the protest of the fiity-two, declared
the organization permanent, and said
Wiltz the permanent Speaker.
Seventh-That this minority of fifty,
without any examination whatever.
declared five other gentlemen, who
had no certificates OF election, to be
members of the bIdy, thus attempting
to exclude five Others who held certifi-
Gates in regular form of law. and who
had the unquestivnable right to sit at
least until fully heard and u formal de-
cisiOn could be made against them.
; Eighth-Thst this man Wiltz and
his forty-nine Democratic associates,
were the first To call for the interposi.
tion of the United States troops.
Ninth-That when at the request OF
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1875-01-28

the majority of the members holding
certificates of election, approved by the
Governor of the State, the same officer
appeared on the floor of the House, he
did not interfere, or propose to inter-
fere, with ally one holding certificate
of election, nor with the organization of
the House by the members elect, as
provided by plain and unequivocal
State law; nor with the House when
organized in the trial and settlement
of the right of any member whose title
might be contested.
Tenth-That this interposition was
only intended, and, in fact, only result
ted in enabling members who had pri-
ma facie rights to seats to organize
without outside interference.
In the face of these admitted facts it
is impossible for any honest man 10
charge the President with any attempt
at usurpation of power had he been
present and directed the commander
of these troops in person. 1t is clear,
however, that he did not, and could
not have given personal directions in
the premises. Nobody pretends that
he participated in any way except by
giving the general order to the COM
mander OF the department 10 sustain
the State authorities, and aid them
when necessary To enforce the State
laws; and the troops have, in fact, done
nothing more.
Whether the Returning Board acted
or not in the discharge of its
duty in the canvass of the returns and
in giving certificates of election was
not question for the President to de-
eide, and he has not attempted to de-
eide it. That is left for the two Hous-
es when organized, under the State
law, to decide for themselves in each
case. There is, therefore,
no foundation in fact for any honest
censure of the President; and he need
not fear but tina. the American people
will sustain him in the premises. The
clamor which the Democracy have
raised over these transactions is dis
honest in its inception, and will be re-
membered only to plague the anthors.

Rats are abundant in Paris. Thirty
thousand were killed last year in the
Central Halles, 100, 900 in the Market
Halles, III, 900 in the slaughter-houses,
40, 900 in the buthers' shops, 800, ,O00 in
the tanners yards, 10000 in the canals
"a total of 1,790,000, to which sum
must be added about 100000 rodents
which eluded capture, so that Paris
boasts of a standing army Of something
like 5000. .0C0 rats. Some idea may be
formed of the magnitude of this loath-
some host from the fact that II pro-
cession Of Partisan rats, running ten
abreast, were to start from Paris to
Berlin, the vanguard would reach the
German capital while the rear guard
was issuing from the gates Of the
French metropolis. But then there Is
a profit for all In them. or the l,796,
900 killed, perhaps nearly all went to
the glovers, where their skins are turn
ed into prime kid;

WE referred on Monday, TO the Sc
lection of Mcdonald, i'm Indiana, as the
Democratic candidate for United States
Senator, as conclusive proof that the
Rebel element was predominant in the
Democratic party; but we have now
confirmation strong as proof of holy
writ in the simultaneous selection CT
Coekerell, as their candidate in Mis-
souri,, and Herman, in New York. Both
of these men were heart and soul with
with the Conffderacy, while it lasted.
Cockrell showed his faith by his works
by serving in the Confederate army;
and Kerran showed his by voting,
while in Congress, to give all the aid
and comfort to the enemy that he
could. Each in his own way did all
he was able to cripple and overthrow
the Government.
Cockrell has no merit but that of his
service against the Union cause. He
has never distinguished himself for tai
civ vi otdtcoinOhoiiP1 w "DAiHs VI
any kind. He fought 'gallantly,' ac-
cording TO Southern Judgment, TO
break down the best government the
world ever saw, and he is sent to the
Senate, to make laws for the Union he
struggled to overthrow, solely because
he led the Southern hosts in an. impi-
Gus and fratricidal Rebellion.
Herman has been chosen because he
is acceptable to such Southern fire-eat-
ers as Cockrell, Gordon and Toombs. He
served in the lower House Of Congress
during the war, aud his vote will be
found there side by side with those
whose sympathies were with the rebel
lious South. When it proposed to is
sue United States bonds to raise mon
ey to carry on the war, he voted to
subject them, when issued, to State
and municipal taxation, in order to
cripple the Government a. much as
possible. 1t WAS not much that he and
such as he could do, but he did his lit
tie worst, and showed on which side
his feelings were enlisted. If he had
ever, in all his public career, given one
patriotic or loyal vote, he never would
have been chosen, as he has been now,
to represent the Rebel Democracy in
the Senate.-Pitts. Commercial.

The Pending Crisis with. Spain.


1t is understood, from inquiry in
proper quarters, that negotiations be-
tween the United States and Spain ON
questions growing out of the Virginius
affair and other matters Of controversy
between the two countries are now
progressing favOrably. That this con-
ditiOn of affairs is fully appreciated by
both Governments is clearly shown by
the fact that Spain is concentrating q
large number of war vessels in the
West Indies, and is also preparing to
reinforce her army in Cuba, ana this
Government has decided not to send
any more vessels of war to foreign sta
tions, except the Brooklyn to the South
Atlantic station. Besides this, it is in
tended to keep all iron-clads and other
vessels now in rendezvous in the Gulf
i'm readiness for immediate sea service.
The forts on the Atlantic seaboard are
being quietly put in order. Large
quantities of supplies are understood 10
be stored at Key West and other easily
accessible points on the Gulf coast. The
English Government seems also to be
fully aware of the war like condition of
affairs, and are concentrating an uDusu-
ally large fleet at Jamaica.

The Business Outlook.

The Boston Transcript takes CHEEKY
view of the business outlook. 1t says:
although the present is the dull
season of the year. we hear that in many
branches of business the outlook is far
more favorable for brisk and prosper
Gus spring trade than was thought pos
sible short time since. Merchants
are looking forward to the future with
more confidence and hope. After the
settling days of January have passed
the decks will be cleared for active
trading campaign, and with money as
plenty as it is likely to be during the
first half of this year there are good
reasons for anticipating REM lucrative
if not unusual harvest for energy and
enterprise"
In like spirit, the San Francisco
Commercial-HUrald says:
"Importers and commission mer-
chants all appear to be resting upon
their oars, awaiting patiently the long
promised better time that is to come.
That it will come we have not doubt,
the sure foundation has already been
laid in good cement, and the outlook
is certainly CHEEKY. The year 1874
upon the Pacific slope was one of gen.
eral prosperity; gains steady, few fail
ures, good crops, and fair prices real
lied. Now we have large grain sur
plus to work upon. The planting sea-
son has been eminently propitiOus, a
greater breath of land than usual has
been plowed and seeded with cereals,
and indicatiods point to a bountiful
harvest, (crOakers to the contrary, not
withstanding). The mines of gold, sill
yer, quicksilver, borax, etc., are all
yielding immensely, and scattering
the seeds of wealth with a liberal
hand, and among class of people that
have heretofore been exempt fIom
lucky strikes of this description"
The Philadelphia North American
too, is looking for new era of activi-
ty. Much as people are now disposed
to talk about matters having settled
down upon firm and solid foundation,
it thinks there is reason to believe that
the era of stagnation that is now ap-
preaching its close is likely to be fol-
lowed by one of as great and general
enterprise and activiry as that which
closed so suddenly in September, 1873.
"AmOng the elements tending to
produce such result is the superabunr
dance of capital. Bubbles have burst
everywhere. OverblOwn credit has
collapsed, but the sources of actual
wealth and capital have remained un-
impaired, and now, while the havoc
and devastation wrought by the revul-
sion lies all before us, we see clearly
that actual capital is fully as abundant
as ever; that the nation is really rich
and strong, and that, putting aside ev-
cry dollar Of foreign capital, there is
more domestic capital in the market
than can find profitable investment"

INSULATION.

The following from the "Western
Christian Advocate" has been handed
US for publication:
at is becoming quite common in
some parts Of this country to insulate
the body of sick persons, by putting a
piece of glass under each foot OF the
bedstead. This is done under the no.
tion that it keeps the electricity of the
body from escaping TO the earth. Many
persons really believe that they have
been benefited by this plan, and some
regular doctors have recommended it.
But let us examine tine facts and phil
osophy of it. We will not deny that
many persons have improved while
thus insulated; but We are quite sure
(save their imagination), that they
would have quite as fast, had the insu-
latIon been the stove instead of the
bed. It is well known that the hu-
man body does not generate electricity
the most delicate slectrometer can
not detect the slightest degree, so that
there is nothing to insulate. If bat
terry, or some eXcitant was brought to
bear On the body, so as to furnish free
electricity, and that excitant kept 60
ing, then there would be some reason
for the glass insulators; otherwise insu-
insulation is like depending on stove
for heat with no fire in it, and none
kept in it. To derive any benefit from
insulation, the patient would have to
be torpedo-a kind of self-charging
battery. The tendency to equilibrium,
where there is no excitant, is univer-
sal and we'll established. Even if the
patient was charged by powerful bat
terry till every hair stood up and sparks
flew off the extrenities, in five min
utes after it is removed, every particle
will have escaped inte the air. If it
is said that every substance has latent
electricity in it, without an excitant,
we grant it; but insulation neither in
creases nor diminishes that in the least
degree. We conclude, therefore, that
this is of no use to the patient, ana not
very creditable to his physician"

On the 9Th OF December Governor
Kellogg telegraphs to the President
that he has information that the White
League propose making an attack upon
the State-hOuse; that the State forces
are not sufficient to resist any such
movement, and asking that a detach-
ment Cf United States troops be furnish
ed to pre- vent any such insurrcctionary
movement.

L transmit the following dispatch by
request of Ex-Governor Wells, presi-
dent of the returning board.
I'M. P. KELLOGG.
President Grant:
Authentic information i'm possession
of the returning board justities them in
believing that an attack is intended
upon the st. Louis hotel. now occupied
as a State-hOuse, wherein the returning
board holds its sessions, and where the
returns of the late election are deposit
ed. The board has nearly completed
careful and impartial canvass of the
returns in compliance with law, and
expects to make promulgations there
from as soon as the same can be pro-
perly complied. The members of the
board are being publicly and privately
threatened with violence, and an at
tack upon the State-hOuse, which is
likely to result in bloodshed, is also
threatened. By request of the board, /
respectfully ask that detachment of
troops be stationed in the State-house,
so that the deliberations and final ac-
tion of the board may be free from in
timidation and violence.

THE SHREVEPORT DIFFICULTIES.
A long letter from the United States
lana, is given, under date of December
16, 1874, detailing various outrages in
that region He states that Governor
McEnery, in speech, openly advoca-
ted the lynching of one of the Repub-
lican leaders. He states that at the Re
publican meetings enough turbulent
whites were present to Overawe, and
did not to hesitate to threaten the
blacks with conogin punishment If
they PERSISTED in voting the Republi-
can ticket. He says:
These people are systematically in
timidated ,browbeaten, personally mai
treated, cheated of their earnings,
cheated of their suffrage, driven from
their homes in penury to endure the
inclemency of winter, and cheated of
their rights to vindicate themselves be-
fore the courts, To submit their claims
for adjustment to the mixed juries of
Our local courts, where the influence OF
the whites Is wholly predominant,
would be the veriest farce conceivable,

ing, all at the peril of his professional

was run into and struck by the ram

that at the outside the paymaster could
