EvEREsTs TESTIMONY.

The following extracts seem TO bt
the exact testimony of this very i'm
portant witness in Babcock's case:
Colonel Joyce handed me two envel
opes aud directed me to put them IN
the letter-box. q One was di.
rected to w. o. Avery, Washington,
b. c., and the other to General II. o.
Babcock, Washington, ID. G.
On cross-eXamination he said:
Colonel Joyce stood in front of his
desk when he put the money in the
envelopes. The envelopes were on the
table when | handed him the two $500
bills. then sat down to his left.

and put the bill in. | did not see him
put the other $500 bill in the other en-.

II IN. Whether 1t was the letter di-
rected to Babcock or to Avery that hi
put the bill in, can't say.
On the redirect examination Everest

THE INDIAN COUNCIL.

The kilograms inform Us that the forces
operating against the Indians in the
Northwest have come within speaking dis
lance of the savages, and that they have
actually brought the principal chiefs into
talking match with Bishop Whipple and
Judge Gaylord. There were great
mango the chiefs with unique names
Sitting Bull Quick. Bear, Young Man
Afraid-of- His-H Horses, Pretty Crow, Red
Cloud and their associates of course took
''high Indian ground" with the govern
ment commissioners very much as the
statesmen Of . few years ago used to take
''high Southern ground" when trying to
bully the people of this country into
acquiescence in the spread Of slavery and
the domination of slaveowners.
Against the Indian claim that the SOL
diers of the government had no right to
interfere with them, no right to coerce
sovereign Indian tribe, and that all the
chiefs wanted was to be let alone, Bishop
Whipple merely said they must obey Or
ders or receive no more rations. This
was corroborated by Judge Gaylord, of
the Interior Department, who minated
in addition that the sooner they complied,
the sooner the ratiors would be forthcom-
ing. Thus the issue is presented of prin-
ciple against subsistence. The Indians
will wisely choose the rations, and post
pone the assertion of their principles
until they are either better prepared or
there are not SO many troops around to
back up the words Of the government
takers

INDEPENDENTS THREATENED WITH
OSTRACISM.

The desperation of the Democrats in
the present campaign is family shown in
the following paragraph from the More
house Clarion:
We say candidly and plainly that an In.
dependent candidate for any local Office in
Morehous6 parish, under the trying circum-
stances of our struggle, deserves more OBJ.
probrlum, ignominy and social oetracism
than the miserable csrpet-bagger, whose
only purpose is plumber and whose only in
terest in Louisiana is the avenues that her
o1nces otfer to population and robbery
The man who will now divide the vote and
thus secure to the Radical party another
easy victory, is one of the worst enemies of
Louisiana, and deserves the well-merited
scofn or all people who feel that on this
struggle depends their very existence az
sovereign people entitled to the rio ht Of
self government.
The editor of the Clarion is himself a
candidate for parish Judge. His writings
indicate that he is somewhat q partisan.
and will carry his prejudices to the bench.
1t is possible there are better men in
the parish, men better fitted for the Office
he seeks; but the citizen who dares to run
against him, no matter how great his
merits may be, will be regarded as littls
better than carpet-bagger, and be SUBJ
ject to ignominy and social ostracism.
By this it appears that Democratic bull.
DOING knows no bounds, and does not
recognize fair play in politics in its own

SOPHISTRY VS.. TESTIMONY.

The Times is unable to reconcile the
fact that the Republicans of Clinton turned
out to attend a mass meeting with an
other that general feeling of terror pre-.
walls throughout the parish. 1t is stated
very distinctly by our correspondent,
Index" that 'it was apparent that the
whole community-(meaning, of course,
the Democratic element) was under the
control and influence of the bulldozers. /"
The better class of Democratic citizens
are subject to this pernicious control and
influence, and seem to be unable to shake
1t OFT. The terror Of the Republicans
arises fom their liability to midnight

It seems to be settled that Tweed will
shortly arrive home in one of the war
ships Of the United States. Preparations
had been made to send him from
Corunna to Havana, but as q straight run
home without change of cars or ships is
generally preferred by all travellers, his
convenience is to be consulted. While
the steamer franklin is about it, she will
be asked to accommodate a man named
Sharkey, who is also wanted by the New
York State authorities. Complaints from
the Democracy about using our ships of
war as passage vessels are now in order.

The Times is happy in tie supposed
discovery Of blunder on the part of the
Cincinnati Commercial. 1t appears that
in notice of bills introduced by Confed-
crate Congressman to pay rebel claims
for losses during the war, three brought
in by Mr.. Darrau were included. This
looks, on the face of it, like blunder
worthy of the Times itself. Misery loves
company, and our neighbor is glad to be
temporarily relieved of its lonely condi-
ton. 1t may turn out upon inquiry that
the Commercial has not made a mistake at
all, but we fear to investigate it just now
lest We dispel most pleasing illusion.
We thus sacrifice our sense of duty to our
desire to be amiable.

party. The voters may have indepen-
denes enough to cast thar ballots for .
man not altogether bound by party ties
An independent might draw a. many
votes from the Republican as from the
shotgun party That is not argued. The
lash is applied directly to the man who
will allow himself to be voted for in OPP
position to the bulldosers candidate, and
he is bold man who will allow himself
to be voted for without first seeking per-
mission from the ofice-seeker's ring.
There is no peace for the wicked Destroy
the Republican party, and the spirit of
intolerance would still prevail. The fact
is as evident in this city as in Norehouse.
When there are no longer Republicans to
kill in Louisiana, the Democrats, trained
to lawlessness and outrages, will shoot
each other.

Failing to gain admittance into the

spoonful apiece of what they wanted.

ening signs. The success Of the meet.
ing, therefore, is an evidence of the
courage Of the colored voters, rather than
testimonial to the peaceable character Of
their enemies.
1t is little singular to see a journal
| which makes some professions Of being
enterprising thus impotently snatching
at delusive straws to establish or disprove
facts which 1t is its duty to lay before its
readers as q witness. Is there no one in
the neighborhood Of Clinton who will con-
sent to act as reporter for the Times. and
send it once in q while Q few items of
what is transpiring? Or, it might be ex-
pected of a truly Independent sheet with
its ''largest circulation" to send q COM
missioner up there; not to report opinions,
intentions and promises, but actual &C.
currences. Had our neighbor taken such
pains to inform himself we should be very
glad to call him to the stand as witness
and ask him few questions, such as
these:
l. Did you ever hear of disturbance
in the parish Of East Feliciana?
2. Do all the white men in the parish
appear to have visible means of sup
port?
8. In case of an outrage perpetrated by
q colored Republican upon a white Dem
ocrat, would there be public commotion
and hue and cry to catch the offender?
4. In case of an outrage committed by
white Democrat upon a colored Repub-
lican, would there be any pursuit of the
offender by either the officers of the law
or the populace?
5. Is equal and exact justice meted
out to all parties, and are excuses which |
serve to acquit one party sufficient to &C
quit any other? hi
We might add few more; but as the
Times does not seem to possess CORE |
spondsnt or even political friend |
throughout all that disturbed region, it is
plain no reliance can be placed upon it as
q witness. Yet we hardly think it owes to
ruth and fairness the duty to contradict |
and utterly refuse to believe the scores of |
sworn witnesses who gave their testimony
before Senate committee last winter, and
whose testimony the subtle and ingenious
Senator Goode utterly failed to break
down. Neither can the Democratic news
papers break down the unanimous testi-
mony offugitives and those who are forced |
TO remain. 1t is vain to cry peace when
here is no peace, and impolitic and injuri- |
BUS to the best interests Of the State to |
screen law breakers from punishment. |
Instead Of trying to disprove notorious
condition of affairs by pointing out fan
lied discrepancies in the testimony, it
would be much better and wiser to make |
careful inquiries, and thus avoid the pos
sibility of misleading the public, by
creating the impression that justice pre-
7ails in locality where the evidence
seems to indicate that it is an utter
tranper rr.
