Investigating the Investigators.


One of the most active Of the Democratic
Investigators is the virtuous Cate, of Wiscou-
sin. This pure-minded hummer holds his scat
in Congress by fraud. In q memorial which
was approved by the Wisconsin Legislature
March 9, but which has been withheld by the
Democratic State officials until now, 1t is set
forth that McDill, Gates opponent, received q
majority of the votes cast at the election; that
by throwing out two polls the Democratic
canvassers found a majority Of two for the
latter, and that the rejection Of these polls
was fraudulent. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court of the State. The Chief JUS
tice, Ryan, (Dem.,) In commenting upon the
action of the canyassers, says: at leaves upon
our mind most painful impression that the
county canvassers utterly neglected their duty
in this respect, and illegally and wantonly dis
franchised sll of the electors who voted at
such election In the rejected town and ward !"
The Court adds: "He who by fraud willfully
disregards his sworn duty and defeats the
will of the people, as expressed by their votes,
commits q political crime next to treason, and
nearly akin to It." The Court characterized
the action Of rejecting these polls as ga most
indecent and fragrant violation Of duty, too
palpsble for blunder, too corrupt for any
mercy Of construction" Remember, this is
the decision of Democratic Judge, and he
would not be likely to convict his party of o
crime without conclusive evidence. There can
not be shanow of doubt that Cate owes his
seat in Congress, first, to fragrant violation
of Law by the Democratic CT nyassers, and, sec
ondly, to an equally fragrant violation OF duty
by the Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-05-02
PETTINESS.

There is no other word to describe it,
as We will show. When the act creating
the Centennial Commissioners was passed
the Governors of the States were required
10 designate the men to be commissioned
by the President Death, removal from
the State, or resignation at once vacated
the office. In accordance with this act,
Governor E. J. Davis, of Texas, nomi-
mated General William FL. Parsons and
Mr.. Chew, of that State, and they were
duly commissioned by President Grant.
General Parsons was immigration agent
for the State of Texas, with his Office in
New York, and Mr.. Chew was financial
New York. Parsons was and is Repub-
lican, while Chew is Democrat. When
the Commissioners organized General Par
sons was pl .ced on the executive commit
tee, which met for about two years every
few weeks. He attended all the meetings
ofthe committee, and was an active worker
/ in assuring the success of the Centennial
celebration. When Coke was elected
Governor of Texas he removed Parsons
from the Office of immigration agent, but
the latter remained In New York, where
lie had an office to enable him to attend to
his duties as Centennial Commissioner.
Governor Coke aud the Bourbons of Texas
were determined TO remove him from
that position If possible, and so in
March Coke notified the Secretary Of State
that vacancy existed in the Centennial
commission by the removal of Parsons and
Chew from the State of Texas, and asked
for the appointment of one Colonel A. M.
Hobby and one Jennings, assistant door
keeper of the ex- Confederate House. OF
course, upon this statement, the commis-
sions had to issue, because the State De-
partment of the National Government could
not presume that the Governor of State
would issue anirregular certificate. Messrs.
Hobby and Jennings presented their CON-
missions at the meeting Of the commission
ers last week in Philadelphia, and Messrs.
Parsons and Chew stated the facts. As a
matter of course. Parsons and Chew re-
tanned their positions. They alone could
surrender their citizenship in Texas, and
both declare they have not done so.
This act of Governor Coke's was the
most petty display Of Bourbonism that has
yet been made by him or any of that set.
The animus of the whole act can be seen
by the offer of Mr.. Jennings, that if ''Par-
"sons would withdraw and let Hobby
"come in, he would also withdraw and let
"Chew remain" The ofense of General
Parsons is that he is Republican. For
this he must be removed, and. to secure
that, the Governor certified over the seal of
the State of Texas to a misstatement.

SPRINGER, of Illinois. sprung question
which Uncle Jimmy, as the Changers
call him, says will cause Orth to be elected
Governor of Indiana by the largest ma
jority given in that State for years. This
is one Of the cases where a man was
slaughtered in the house of his friends. 1"
The almost forgotten record of that Indiana
Legislature OF which Congressman and
Would-be-Governor-o:-Ind Indiana Williams
was member, and which did all it could
TO benefit the rebellion and cripple the
efforts of the great war Governor, has been
revived by Mr.. Springer's efforts. Senator
Morton Is given splendid opportunity to
show the difference between a patriotic
Republican like himself and Democrat
such as Williams. He hardly ever throws
away opportunities.

the vindication of the private and personal
rights Of the citizen.
As there seems to be a real or affected sus-
picion that there is something of wrong that
| have refused to reveal, and whichour books
and papers Will show. therefore, waving all
questions of the assumed rights of the House
and its committee to inquire or examine into
our private and personal affairs, in which
know there is no wrong and no public interest
involved, am willing the honorable commit
tee shall, and hereby invite them to, visit our
Office, when all the books and papers relating
to our business shall be as open as the day to
their inspection, and every facility afforded
them for thorough investigation OF their
contents. make but one request in connec-
ton with such an examination of our private
books, &C., and that is, If the committee shall
find, as l have testified to be the fact, that
there is nothing wrong or affecting public in
terests, they will so report to the House Of
Representatives, and not publish, or allow %
be published, our business transactions, in
which no one but ourselves and our patrons
are interested.
Again assuring you Of my highest regard for
yourself and respect for the honorable House
of Representatives, / remain, very respectfully,
HALLET KHBOURN.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-05-02
HALLET KII3OURE-

At all times during his examination be-
fore the com mittee on the SO called real
estate pool, Mr.. Kilbourn unhesitatingly
expressed his willingness to reveal all of
the real estate transactions in which Kill
bourn & Latta, or himself as trustee or other
wise, had in any way been connected, pro-
vided any honorable person would make
oath TO, or any members of the committee
or the House of Representatives would as
sert any fact by which it was proposed to
connect even in the remotest degree, their
real estate business with the public inter
est, or develop any fraud or wrong doing
in their business Transactions.
No such oath or assertion was made, and
Notwithstanding this just and reasonable
proposition on Mr.. Kflbourn's part, he was
adjudged by the House of Representatives
guilty of contempt for refusing to submit
their private books and papers to the pub
lie inspection CT the committee, and by its
order was for five weeks incarcerated in
the common jail of the District of Celum-
bia-confiOed in a dungeon without hay
ing violated any law of the land, not even

did not demand attention, We would be
glad to hunt up ard print part of one Of
those humorous, eloquent and sarcastic
speeches made in tic last Congress by Sun

these speeches. ird fill the parallel one with
that vociferOus No lie voted on the
resolution offered yesterday by Mr.. Hale
of Maine, directing that the various smell
ing committees Of the House should sit
with open doors when testimony was be-
ing taken. That No would require a
whole column.
