THE POT AND THE KETTLE.
''Any Cad Can Yell You Llc."
lSt. Louis Republican.

It Is all very we'll for Babcock to deny
the charges Of Bell and Whitley, but
something more is demanded. He must
sustain his denial with proof. Any
sneak-thief caught with a bundle Of
coats under his arm can sniffle out
Not guilty." when placed in the pris-
oner's dock; and any cad can yell
You lie," when opposed by gentle
man presenting self-evident facts. 1t is
certainly true that both Whitley and
Bell belong, or rather did belong, to the
United States detective corps of Wash
ington, which is nothing in their favor,
under existing circumstances but their
bare words or their oaths carry quite as
much weight as the word or oath of
Gen. Babcock perhaps more weight,
indeed. Babcock was acquitted OF a
felony before a jury by "the skin of his
teeth" so to say, while ninety-n nine men
out Of every hundred in the country be-
lieve him to be guilty. Make as black
ma as you like against the names of
Whitley and Bell they are no better or
worse than Babcock. 1t is only another
illustration of the old story of the pot
and the kettle
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-04-14

Several weeks ago prominent and
responsible citizen OF New Orleans wrote
a letter to Mr.. Ferry, the President OF
the Senate. In relation TO Senator West.
enclosing copies Of two letters from Mr.
Maynard. of San Francisco, both Of
which have been published In the DEMO
Graf, charging West with having com
mitted the crime Of forgery while in
California. Mr.. Ferry was informed of
the high character OF Mr. Maynard, and
assured that the statements in his let
tiers could be proved. About the same
time letter appeared in the Chicago
Times, reiterating these charges, and
making others still more disgraceful.
1t was hardly to have been expected
that the Republican Senators would
take any action in the matter. The
Vests and Spencers OF the Senate are
their instruments, and they care little
for their infamous character SO long as
they can use them. We did think, how
ever, and SO did the people OF Louis
lana, who feel Inundated and disgraced
by the presence Of perjurer. forger
and thief from their State in the Senate.
that Mr.. Thurman, or Mr.. Bayard. or
some other Democratic Senator would
insist upon an Investigation CT these
charges. West is a vile fellow-a
disgrace to Louisiana and to the United
States Senate, and why not place him
where he belongs.

The New York Sm very we'll says
that IL the Democratic House cannot
render full justice to Louisiana by up
setting the infamous usurpation the
Federal Government has erected over
Its people. 1t can at least do the country
a great service by investigating and ex-
posing those dens OF iniquity. the New
Orleans Customhouse and the office OF
the United States Marshal. The SIN
has spoken truthfully. A great good
can be done for Louisiana 10y thorough
investigation OF the Customhouse and
the rings which centre there. The very
atmosphere OF the New Orleans Custom
house is impregnated with crime; and a
thorough investigation will bring to
light bribery. perjury. robbery. murder.
perpetrated by or at the instigation OF
its chiefs Let this den of thieves be
broken up.

We print this morning statement OF
I. w. Falls, Seventh Justice Of the
Peace. referred to yesterday In the re-
portorial columns Of the DEMOCRAT in
connection with the swindling claims OF
ex-Tax Collector L. G. Mahan. Mr..
Falls statement seems to be very fair,
and 1t certainly places him in new and
more favorable light in the matter. The
claims of Mahan, however, are Of very
extraordinary character. 1t will be
seen by Mr. Falls statement that he re-
garded them as suspicious and refused
to prosecute any more OF them until
there should be thorough opportunity
to test their validity. Should he, how
ever, find 1t necessary to go forward
with the suits. he should I'm Justice to
the public require from Mahan. in each
case, the usual deposit in cash. With
out doubt the claims are an audacious
swindle, and the Grand Jury should in
stitute thorough and searching inves-
tigation into the whole matter.

II appears that tho people of the
Fourth District have not yet got rid OF
their old oppressor. the Assessor, Urban.
He refuses to turn over the books to
the newly appointed assessor, Thomp-
son, without bonus of FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS. We are informed and believe
that there was an appropriation made
by the Legislature to pay for all such
books and the labor thereon, and we do
not see what possible claim Urban has
as owner Of the books. The people OF
the Fourth District are anxious that the
work Of revising Urban's rolls should
commence. and his demand for five
hundred dollars keeps everything In
allegiance.
Our advice to Thompson is to move
on Urban in full force, take possession
of the Office and the books, which are,
beyond doubt, the property of the
State, and let Urban appeal to the
courts.

SENATOR BAYARD.

Tho New York Herald having, In Its
own opinion, made Senator Copkling
the leading candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination, is now devoting itself
to the business OF fixing up the thing
for the Democrats at st. Louis. It has
selected Senator Bayard for the Demo-
cratic nomination, and though We are
not so sanguine Of the chances OF that
distinguished gentleman as the Herald
seems to be. we think the whole coun-
try must cordially concur In what the
Herald says of him. Says that paper:
Mr. Bayard IA a consistent Democrat who has
never hipched nor wavered. He alone. of all
the able mon of his party. had the POLITICAL cour-
age and manly sincerity to stand up in The BATH
more Convention In 1872 against the ,lishstrous
blunder of tying the Democratic party as atail
to the Greeley kite. Tho result Of the election
indicated his forecast and wisdom. Not only

Wagner's new opera, says the New
York Herald. Tristan and Isolde" has
received its first representation at Ber-
lin in presence OF the imperial court
and brilliant assemblage The plot is
founded on the loves Of prince OF
Cornwall and an Irish princess, which
terminate fatally, and illustrates the
general roughness Of the road to happi-
ness. The opera was received through
out with prolonged bursts OF applause.

probate judge, failing to convince the
latter-hy word of mouth Of the force OF
his logic, began pummeling his honor,

was at hand and thought it his duty
to interfere, seized the lawyer. and
undertook to max him desist from
putting a head on the judge. At this

Pattee Out Patteed.

The Denver Tribune states that a
train-boy on the Union Pacific recent
ly resigned his position, went to Lara
mic City, and accepted the position of
hotel clerk there. He then secured
directories of all the principal cities
throughout the country, thus obtain
ing the addresses of people, to whom
he wrote, stating that he was Pattee's
private secretary, and knew all about
that swindler's business +; that upon
receipt of $50 he would give full in
structions SO that prizes could he
drawn every time. Dupes sent him
money to the amount of $4,000, when
he jumped the country. Letters con-
tanning $50 bills are still pouring into
the Laramie postomce addressed to
him, and they say that Pattee wants
the money, but it will be returned to
the sendcrs.
