true. This poor woman has certainly
been cruelty wroDged.
''THE QUESTION Is BROADER THAN
PRESIDENT-MAKING.
1T is one of humanity. If she has
told the truth Sheridan should come
back at once and hold with grip of
iron people who can see such infamy
without remonstrance, even i'm their
public prints!,
Governor Palmer was g eatly excited
while making these remarks, and IS
founded the Louisiana Democrats, who
tried in vain to pacify him.
General George B. Smith, of Wis
consin, also exhibited much excite
ment, and turning upon the local Dem
ocrats, said: ''You have deceived usI''
subsequently Lyman Trumbull, who
vas absent from the room during the
woman's recital, fully concurred with
Palmer. The Generalization of the
Democrats here is complete, not only
because of the facts disclosed, but be-
cause Of the names of
LEADING DEMOCRATS WHO ARE EX-
POSED IN DETAIL AS THE MURDER
KRIS AND RAVISHERS
Other witnesses, men and women,
who have cruelty suffered, have yet to
take the stard
To night, the Chief of Police has
been compelled to station a force
around the domicile within which Mrs.
Pihkston lies PROSTATE on bed. A
turbulent Democratic mob is assem-

At last il is evident that

as myths The testimony which John
Sherman, General Garfield, Eugene
Hale, General White, Cortland, T..

New ORLkANS, Nov. ga very
dramatic scene was presented, to day.
in the Returning Board, when the case
of the Ouaehita Parish was called.
Among the first witnesses called were
Eliza Pinkston, Cora Williams, and
Ben James. Eliza Pinkston was un-
able to walk without help into the
Senate Chamber, where the sessions
are held, and the giving of her testi-
mony so exhausted her that she was
removed on a sofa when she had I'm
ished. She was obliged to raise her
left hand to take the oath, as her right
arm is shattered.
TIE RECITAL OF HER STORY
was listened to with breathless interest
The visitors from the North who heard
her were shocked beyond measure at
the fearful tale of cruelty. Nearly all
the Republicans from the North were
in the room, including Senator eher-
man, Judge Kelley, Mr.. Stoughton,
General Harry White, Mr.. Hall, and
Hon. John Stephenson. Ex Governor
Palmer and General Smith, of Wiscon-
sin, were the only leading Democrats
who Leard the testimony. George w.
Julian remained in another portion of
the room for some time, but would not
look at the witness nor hear her
through, although urged to do so by
Judge Kelley, and, short time after,
left the chamber. The Democratic
council all listened attentively through
out, and professed to be greatly sur
priSed at the testimony. A cross
examination by Mr.. McGloin, Demo-
cratic attorney, brought out a few
points which made the case still worse,
If possible, against the bull-dozers.
GOV. PALMER's EXPRESSIONS
in regard to it were most honorable to
him. He said, in conversation with
two of the Democratic counsel, and
Messrs. Mooney and Dribble, Republi-
can counsel. as stated to me by Gcn-
eral Morcy, that the story, if true, was
au outrage on humanity, and that
President Grant would be justified In
seading General Sheridan here with
sufficient force TO take care of the
State; that If, as was told him, only a
snialI portion.of tie people we're guilty
of these atrocities, unless the other
portios OF The community went active
iy 20 'yorz to arrest and punish the
aer pesrators, they were
ILL EoUALLY GUILTY,
