Whisky Frauds Investigation.

SENATOR LOGAN VS.. BLUFORD WILSON.
Senator Logan was examined before the
committee on whisky frauds yesterday, and
said that any Ipsinuation directly or indi-
rectly, remotely or otherwise, made by Blu
ford Wilson or Others, charging him with
being connected directly or Indirectly with
the whisky ring In Chicago or elsewhere was
falsehoOd from beginning to end. Wilson's
letter 10 Secretary Bristow of December Sd,
1875, mentioning as noteworthy a report that
LOgans illness in Chicago was occasioned
by sheer fright, was shown the Senator aud
he said that this apparent attempt to cast
rehectlons upon him was q surprise, as Mr.
Wilson himself visited him in Chicago last
December, when he was very sick, almost
unto death. and he must have known that
the report was false In every particular. Sen
ator Logan further SAID that he never as had
been charged by Wilson, interfered directly
or indirectly with the prosecution OF the
WHISKY 1rauds In Chicago or elsewhere. He
did, however, 60 to the President and rec
ommend Wilson's removal, for the reason
That District Attorney Ward, At Chicago,
fo,o nim ina. wilson nad said to him that
cal necessity, TO which the district attorney
SAID there was no testimony to this end,
When wilson replied: at makes no differ
encei indict HIM first and find evidence az.
forwards" The President, however, did not
remove Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Logan did not remember the date OF
the interview, but IL was last spring. Mr.
Logan wished IL TO be distinctly understood
that bis object, as had been insinuated To
remove Mr.. Wilson was not to protect the
whisky men or others, but because he con-
splred 10 destroy man whose reputation
was better than his own.
Representative Cochrane asked Mr.. Logan
whether he ever recommended TO the Presi-
dent the removal or Secretary Bristow
which question the Senator answered by saw

Mr.. Plaisted, OF Maine, the republican
member OF the committee investigating the
st. Louis whisky frauds, offered In evidence
to-day the original of the Presidents letter
TO Secretary Bristow relieving him OF all OBJ
legation of secrecy as regards commuutca-
lions made to him as Cabinet officer by
the President. There was squabble be-
tween him and Chairman COchrane, the lat
ter ruling that the letter was Irrelevant. 1t
was finally agreed 10 place the letter on the
record not as "relieving BristOw," phrase
TO which Mr.. COchrane objected as improper,
but simply as "relating to privileged COM
muDicaLiOns."

tined that AL effort was made during the

man Farwell, IS there were suspicious cir
cumstances against him. The effort failed
for want OF sufficient proof.

THE HENDRICKS MULE CAsE.-The fea-
lures OF this case, which IL is alleged will
place him in the same category with Mr..
Ortiz, and compel him TO Withdraw from the
democratic ticket, are thus summarized by
the Cincinnati Gazette:
The claim was assigned to Henderson by
Hall, and Hendricks attempted to collect II
while he was a United Senator. That, in
itself, was violation of law, for which LIE
was liable to fine and imprisop ment. The
claim was rejected by the Secretary OF War,
81 the Commissioners of Claims, and by
Congress. Finally Hendricks prevailed upon
Secretary Belknap to open it up, and it was
paid. These are the facts stated by the Ga
zette, and they cannot be successfully denied
Tine evidence that four different branches OF
the government considered the claim aud
rejected IL, and that the original owners
were tried and convicted OF fraud, shows
pretty conclusively the character OF the
claim, the reason for Its transfer 10 Hender-
son, and the employment OF Hendricks to
collect II. Had Hendricks been proceeded
against for prosecuting the claim against
the government he would havs been con-
victed. and forever disqualified from holding
any Office of honor or trust under the gov
eminent OF the United States. In other
words, he could not hold the Office for which

The chamber Of the House OF Representatives

The chamber Of the House OF Representatives
has a hundred or 80 oval frames arranged
around the top Of the rooms, ready for the pic
lures of our Governors. There are enough OF
them to contain every Governor elected or
forced into Office in Louisiana. for the next
twenty centuries to come. As yet. however. only
one face figures here-that OF the gallant War
moth From his position on the wall. he looks
down kindly and smilingly on the Legislature.
From his face the members may drink In inspi-
ration and learn patriotism and good govern
nient. He is alone, without any one to set him
of, to compete with him.
Some people have wondered why our Henry
Clay should have been chosen among 80 many
as the only one worthy to sit in our Legislature.
II is vaguely surmised that these shields have
been retained for the Radical Governors only.
but then why so many? 1t is hardly probable,
il this rule be carried out that Warmoth will
ever have any companion. unless the painter
should overlook Kellogg's title and put him UP
there alongside. If so. we had better stop there,
and leave the other shields blank. Nobody will
be eager to figure on them.
Some people might object to Warmoth and
Kellogg in our State House after they are once
kicked out, but not we. They are placed where
they will do the most good" No legislator will
ever be able to glance at them without feeling

We are not insensible to the compll-
mentary remarks OF the Bulletin this
morning, in relation to the views ex-
pressed by the DEMOCRAT yesterday
evening, in relation to the first duty Oh
the Democratic party. We are glad TO
have the Endorsement Of our able con-
temporary. But the Bulletin is In error
in supposing that we have taken a
new departure on this subject. we
have twice before expressed pre-
cisely the same views on this impor-
tant subject, and the article In yester-
DAYS DEMocRAr was the reproduction OF
the views previously expressed by US.
We do not concur in all the Bulletin says
in relation to the independent vote and
party ties. But SO long as the Bulletin
a fighting on the same line with the
DxMocRAT, we do not think that dif1er-
ences upon these points are OF material
Importance.

The contests in the various wards for
the presidents Of Central Clubs and
delegates to the Parish Committee con-
tirues to wax flercer as the time for the
election approaches. There seems to
have been q general movement In many
Of the wards in favor of square, open
election, and the selection Of unpledged
delegates to the State Convention; in
fact, a general revolt against the prac-
tice Of "setting up things" in the In
terest Of special candidates, and We are
glad to observe that the merchants,
mechanics and substantial citizens Of
the wards are evincing more interest in
the primaries than heretofore. We re-
gret to say that the registration does
not show that these classes OF our citl-
zehs have registered as fully as they
should, but the increased attention
given to this duty clearly indicates a
disposition to correct abuses within the
party instead of encouraging divisions
and separate political action. The men
Of moderate means in the community
seldom neglect this duty in the prlma-
ries. and the heart Of the masses is gen.
orally right; they are liable to be i'm
posed upon by the specious arguments
of designing aspirants; and il the mer-
camille, taxpaying and professional
classes, whose opportunities for OBJ
servation are SO much greater, neglect
the plain duty OF attending primary
meetings and mutually interchanging
opinions with the working classes, they
will be largely to blame for the selection
OF officers who may bring disrepute
upon the party name.

REFORM.
The Chief Issue Of the Canvass sinsu-
lar Feature.

lar Feature.
IN. .Y. Sun.l
The chief, if not almost the only issue
in the election of next November, Will
be the question Of reform and honest
government. This is rendered necessary
by the alarming corruption which, under
Grant. has got established in every de-
partment of the Administration. Ii we
are to have any government at all, In
deed il any citizen Is to be allowed to
enjoy any part of his honest earnings,
public plundere1s must be turned out OF
office and honest men put in their places.
Now. there is one man whose natural
tendencies and favorable circumstances
have made him peculiarly the represent
atiye of this kind Of reform. That man
is Samuel J. Tilden, of New York. He
is not merely known as arguing in favor
of honest government; he has not mere
" exposed and denounced the thieves
and plunderers of the other party; he
has exposed and attacked the thieves
and plunderers of his own party; he has
stopped their depredations, and brought
them to justice; he has reduced the
taxes of the State by millions; he is an
economist as we'll as g. reformer; and
the neople everywhere see from these
facts that he is the kind OF man who is
needed in the White House at present.
That this is so, is proved by the uni
yersal opposition and the bitter hostility
which thieves and public plunderers Of
every degree make against Mr.. Tilden's
nomination at st. Louis. He is the man
above all others whom they don't want,
and for long time they have been do
ing their utmost to keep him from being
nominated and elected. There are some
upright and worthy men who oppose
Mr.. Tilden for other reasons Of their
own. but the main force of the opposi-
ton against him is the opposition Of
thieves and plunderers.
This has gone so far, and has been
carried on with such zeal and bitterness.
and SO little Of ordinary cunning and
prudence, that the great body of the
people have been led to rally around
MI. .Tilden wi b such tenacity and deter
mination that the question has passed
entirely beyond the limits Of ordinary
controversies about candidates. In
fact, it has gradually yet decidedly as
sumed the aspect OF an immense strug-
gle by the dishonest element to defeat
an honest man and this has been made
such a conspicuous feature OF the affair,
that Mr.. Tifden's defeat and the selec-
ton of another person would inevitably
appear to the country to be the exclu.
sive work of corruption, venality, and
public plunder; and as such, another
candidate selected instead OF him will
be generally regarded as defeated the
moment he Is put up.
Under such peculiar and unexpecte

Republican campaign funA will be large
ly reduced.
The campaign opens on the question
OF retrenohment and reform, and we
commend the attitude Of the Demo
cratic House and Of the Republican
President and Senate on this particular
matter to the country. We find the
House-the first Democratic House we
have had since 1861-making Q brave
8, nuggle to reduce the cost OF govern
lnent and save the people thirty nine
millions OF dollars; and we find the
Senate and President making o fierce
fight to defeat this movement OF the
House and keep up the old system OF
profiigacy and extravaganza.
The House should stand firm. 1t has
made a splendid record for the Demo
cratic party, and performed good deed
for the suffering country. The President
and Senate should be forced to concur
in this wise and healthful action OF the
House, and il they persist in defeating
it let the whole responsibility rest upon
them

A POSSIBLE HITCH.

The President and the Senate are
making determined opposition to the
appropriation bill, passed by the Demo
cratic House. which reduces the appro-
priations something more than thirty
nine millions compared with those OF
the current fiscal year.
Every stratagem has been resorted to
by the President and Senate to force the
House to recede from its position. The
President has sent message on the
subject, and Mr.. Kasson, Of Iowa, an
Administration member of the House,
speaking, doubtlessly with authority,
has declared that If the diplomatic
bill Is not passed by the first Of
July the Secretary Of State will tele-
graph to every foreign minister and
consul that their drafts against the
Government will be protested after
that date. The House proposes TO re-
duce the appropriations for the Consul
lar and Diplomatic service only $42S,-
137 so, but the Administration is deter
mined that this shall not be done, and
has attempted to intimidate the House
be- the threat made through Mr.. Kas-
son.
We trust that the House will firmly
stand by It's thirty millions reduc-
tion. The country needs more economy
and vigor in the Government, and ifthe
Senate and President insist upon having
their way or defeating the appropriation
bill, the responsibility will be theirs.
This matter shows very clearly that
the Republican party is bent upon re-
sisting all reform and retrenchment in
the Government. The retainers and
henchmen OF the Administration must
be provided for, and to do this the people
must be taxed. The trade and indus
tries OF the country may suffer, but the
Babcocks, the Boss Shepherds, the
Grants, and all the vast army Of Office
holders must have money, and therefore.
the Republican President and Senate
are determined that the thirty-nine
millions the House proposes to save the
people shall not escape the clutches OF
the party. The Presidential canvass,
too. Is on hand, and there must be mil
lions spent to carry the election for
Hayes; and il the appropriation bill Is
