The Fraud Announced.

The Returning Boards OF Louisiana and
Florida have accomplished the work set for
them TO do, and their place in history as the
most corrupt set of scamps that ever met
will perhaps be as certain as if they were
eminent for virtue and honesty.
Fair.minded Republicans will scarcely nc.
cept the result as conclusive proof that Hayes
has been fairly and honestly elected. They
may have some doubts about conceding all
that the Democrats claim, but their sense of
justice and tight must lead them to doubt
the fairness or legality of the methods by
which in three States actual maiorities on
the face of the returns for Tilden have been
converted into apparent majorities for
Hayes. Ofcourse there are blind and bit
ter partisans who shut out from their view
everything that would tend TO throw doubt
upon the success of their party, but we do
not refer TO them. We ask honorable, con.
scientious and unprecedented members of tie
Republican parIyif they can see any cause for
rejoicing at the declaration of victory acauii .
ed by such means as were adopted in the
contested Southern States.
Many men are willing to stretch point of
honesty and take advantage of legal tcchni
calty for The benefit of their party, but when
the question is fairly put between an honest
and a fraudulent count, the moral scrse
which would accept the latter in preference TO
the former must he blunted indeed.

as possibIe. Dickerson was man oil

both having been what is known IN
the profession" as pals" for several
wears, Finally. seeing that consie-
tion was inevitable, and there was no
hope Of aequital Of either, White said
to Dickerson:

"a strange event recently occurred
in this county, which carries the
mind back to those ancient days when
the remains Of the dead were dispos-
ed of by cineratiOn. The subject OF
this remarkable funeral ceremony
was Mr.. Henry Berry, an aged and
highly respectable citizen of this coun-
ty, whose rare tact, industry and
economy, honestly exercised, enabled
him to amass very large property.
He owned about twenty thousand
acres Of land, and bad in the bank be-
tween fifteen aud twenty thousand
dollars. About fifteen years ago ne
had occasion to take up the dead
bodies of two children, and, seeing
their condition, vowed then that
when be died his body should be
burned instead Of buried. lie aceor-
