TEE PLAIN FACTS,

The fagrant instances Of forgery, fraud,
and perjury which the Congressional Commit.
tees in Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida
have already discovered, says the New York
Sun, leave no doubt that when they have
completed their work the full details of the
most criminal conspiracy this country has
ever known viii be spread before the people
in such shape as to carry clear conviction
to all. From the disclosures which every day
brings forth, and which are daily increasing
il numbers and importance, it is not improb>
able that before the second Wednesday in
February the fact that there really are 2OS
valid electoral votes for Ti!dcn will be made
10 evident that all Republicans who desire to
maintain reputation for common honesty
among their fellow mea vii! be compelled to
CL2,!l!t.

NOTICE OF a FORMER TowNsMAN-Thc
Stanton (Fn.) Indicator has recently been
publishing short sketches ofthe business men
of that city. In recent issue it has the fol-
lowing to say of Mr., Charles E. uancs. q
former residen. of CLarlestowp, and brother
of Nlr. j. Il. Haines, of this place:
This gentleman served for fise years, till
1850, with Lloyd Logan, q well-known cigar
manufacturer Of Winchester, aud lett his
employ with his graduating papers as star
workman lie then, with q small capital
commenced business on his own hook in
Charlestown, West Va. During his stay of
II months in that place his goods gained on
the public and especially attracted the notice
of Staunton firm, Messrs Armentrout l.
Son, who were then in that trade here They
made Mr.. Laines an offer which he accented
came to Stnunton and remained with them
until the dissolution of the firm in 1871,
when he immediately commenced business at
their old stand and his present one His
trade has steadily grown until he has the
largest cigar manufactory in this Revenue
district.
The bulk of Haines' goods are sold abroad.
He has customers in New York, PENNSYLVANIA.
Ohio, kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Maryland,
West Virginia, the Carolfnas, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Texas and Mississippi, and
this money drawn from other sections is cx>
pended in our town, making Haines' estab,
lishment an important institution of the place.
He buys his tobaccos direct from importers
and leaf growers and keeps on hand enough
to turn out any time half million cigars, for
which purpose his factory is furnished with
the most improved machinery and twelve
skilled workmen, mostly of his own training,
who ply their vocation night and day.
From his location, experience and other
facilities we are persuaded that Dir. e. can
compete successfully with any cigar manu-
tacturer in the country, and would pronounce
him entitled to the name of one of his pop-
ulra brands as ono of Staunton's triumph
tradesman.

tice McKeou. in q memorial sent to

so far as it inculpates me. is made up of
lies without contsining one truth. This
man Lyons, in the fall of 1870, brought
suit in my court in Utah against
the owners OF She Emma mine.
He failed in the attempt to
bride with 100000; be failed to
make a case emitting him to an i%ujunc.
ton. BE then went to Washington, aud
under preteuse Of retaining them as
counsel, attempted to bride men in high
places to exert their political influence
to secure my removal from the bench.
He failed with some, and theconspiracy
failed. In swearing that the other JUS
tees were joint partners in the Emma
mine interests, l believe Lyons commits
perjury, and | know be commits perjury

To-day at noon Major Richards, Chief
Of Police, made a formal arrest Of Bel
KNAPP, ex-Secretary Of War, and brought
him into the police court. Belknap was
accompanied by his counsel, ex-senator
Carpenter, who said they waived an ex.
animation, and we're prepared to give
bail for Belknap's appearance before the
court. Judge Smell fixed the amount at
$25, 900, when the parties retired to ar,
range bail. Belhnsp showed by his
movements during the short time he was
ia the courtroom that he was much de-
pressed in spirits, covering his face with
his hands and signing deeply.
