According to the Washington CORE

According to the Washington CORE
spondence Of the New York Times it Is
probable that Mr.. bingham Lawrence,
who contests J. Hale Sypher's seat as
representative from Louisiana, may be
admitted, unless congress should adjourn
before there is time to act upon his case.
The testimony shows that about LOO
votes we're counted for Sypher on afidavits
made up at one time and in one place, and
all in tie same handwriting, without the
knowledge of the people who were repre-
scented to have made them, his majority,
counting these forged affidavits as votes
actually cast, being less than 100. The
facts in this case have been publicly
known and the proofs have been before
congress for two years. They have been
published in the San again and again.
Mr.. Lawrence is one of the most estimate
men in Louisiana, owning large estates
and commanding the highest respect OF
men of all shades of political opinion ana
his nresence in the house OF representa-
t;ves wonId have conferred honor upon
that body Sypher is carpet bag adyen-
turer of the most detestable character,
who. lt is openly charged, mas SHOWN MS
love for the colored race by going into the
planting business and cheating his negro
iaborers out of their wages. But he is a
firm supporter of Grant and brother-in
law Casey, and therefore he has been per-
mitted to occupy the seat belonging to MIR.
Lawrence, and to serve on important COM
mittees, from the beginning of the term
for which the latter was elected, though
there was not member OF the house who
was not fully aware of the fact that the
evidence in the hands of the committee on
elections ought to send him to the peui-
Tertiary ins stead o to congress. These fare
plain, simple facts which are sustained by
incontrovertible proofs, and they are facts
which of themselves are enough to stamp
the whole Republican majority with infa-
my, though they are as but an inconsider-
able trife in the grand total of wrongs
which have been inflicted upon the people
of Louisiana by Grant and his servile fol.
lowing. And yet members of congress
who in private life pass for men of honor
stand up in their places and harangut
about the colored people of Louisian;
being deprived Of their political rights
through intimidation and fraud

Conkling felicitiously calls the 'ashes of
his ambition" various reasons are as
signed for the untimely end of his career,
and various interests are given the honor
of having destroyed him. Mr.. Carpen-
ter chooses to say that he has been struck
down because he was the champion Of
the people against the monopolists. and
Mr.. Russell Sage replies that the senator
asked the help of the st. Paul Road and
did not get it. We do not know which of
these eminent operators is in the right in
regard to this matter, but We should hope
that Mr.. Sage's story was the more ac-
curate because certainly no railroad nor
other corporation has any right to throw
| its influence for or against the election OF
any man as United States senator. we
should think that there were few men IN
Wisconsin so candid as to believe that Mr..
Carpenter took the Granger side from any
ardent devotion to its principles, whatever
thew may be, or that he would have re-
fused to defend the imported corpora
tons of that state if he had been properly
approached. ~.
If there is any doubt in Wisconsin as
to what caused the defeat of Mr.. Carpen-
ter we are glad to be able to inform all
Iipquiring minds. He was defeated be
cause he had offended the moral sense Of
a great many Republicans by sharing in
the Salary Theft and then brazenly de
l Tending it in speech which showed thai
| he believed his, audience had no more
principle than himself; because of the dis
covery has while pretending to oppose the
Louisiana fraud ip the senate. he was act
ually in the pay of Gov. Kellogg; be
cause of his notorious laxity of morals il
public and private; and if local polite
had any influence in the result, it wa
merely because the Changers and the mer
| Of the capital alike feared and distruste'
him, believing that he had no fixed con
victions and would as soon betray the on
as the other. ar, rs-.--.r.e .r-. .~
If Mr.. Carpenter is wise, he will med
itate on these things and try to reform
his errors, instead of attacking Messrs
Washburn and Doolittle, or beginning
new crusade against railroads. FOR

The New York Republicans.

A HOUSING RATIFICATION MEETING LAST NiuHr--
ROSCOE CoNKIING SPEAKS.
The New York Republicans held rouslng
ratification meeting in Cooper Institute, New
York City last night. Salem H. Wales presd-
cd. The resolutions were received with great
uianimity, and ono in relation to the public
schools was yociferously applauded.
The principal address was made by Hon. Roa-
coe Conkling, who was sreceiyed with deafenDg
cheers. In his speech he alluded to the claim
recently sot up by the Democrats that to Gov
rilden was due the credit of having reduced the
State debt, and showed the utter fallacy of this
absurd claim. The audience laughed heartily ut
the effort of Gov. Tildeus followers to claim
credit for acts done by Gov DIX aud a Republi-
can Legislature The Senator also showed that
to Governor Dix and Republican repre-
sentatives in the Legislature was due
the first step toward canal reform, as the Legis-
lature has adopted an amendment to the Constl-
tuition which has embedded canal reform i'll the
fundamental law. The speaker showed that the
Democratic Party was not deserving of public
confidence that canal contracts OF q fraudulent
character originated in Democratic Canal Boards
and were connived at by Democratic Legislators
under the control of Hoffman and Tweed. The
Senator pointed out certain acts of Gov. Tilden
to show that he was net entitled to the charac-
ter of great reformer whicn his friends claimed
for him. Alluding ITO Gov. Dix, whose name
was received with great applause, he said
WelI,gentloman, don't wonder that some ap-
pliud the name of Gov. Dix. Applause. ba-
cause it will he my fault, and not yours, If do
not show you that others are now wearing
plumes and enjoying honors which. belong not to
Them, but to John A. Dix. Applause.
In conclusion, Mr.. Conkling demolished John
Kellys claims to responsibility, and referred
poiatedly to the effort to remove Reeorlcr
Hackett from the bench.
