Senator Sherman On the Louisiana
Returning Board.

In yesterdays debate in the Senate, the
remarks of Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, on the
subject OF the Louisiana election, and the
relative merits of the claims of both par
ties to the Electoral vote of that State, at
tracted general attention, as coming from
a man who had devoted himself especially
to this branch of the Presidential compli-
cation, and whose views were entitled to
be regarded as, in some measure, those of
the Republican party on this question.
Mr.. Sherman, speaking from personal OBJ
servation and actual knowledge such as
no other member of the Senate can claim,
excepting those now engaged in the
Louisiana investigation, maintained with
great force and earnestness that, in &C
cordance alike with the laws of Louisiana
and the dictates of right and justice, the
Returning Board could not do otherwise
than give certificates to the Hayes Elec-
tors; and he declared that if Tiden was
elected on the strength of the Louisiana
vote, his term of Office would be dishon-
ored from the beginning, and his official
garments stained with the blood of hun
dreds of the victims of the Democratic
plan of carrying the election in that State.
Mr.. Bogy, of Missouri, attempted weak
reply to the formidable argument of Mr.
Sherman but, finding himself drawn into
a tight place by the questions propounded
by Messrs. Boutwell, and Sherman, he was
reduced to the necessity of admitting that
he didn't know what he was talking about
How to deny the averments of crime in
the Louisiana indictment, or how to ad-
nit and justify them, is theory of the
defense which the Democratic counsel in
Congress have as yet been unable to agree
upon.-Chicdgo Tribune, Jan. 10.

therefore, nobody having been elected,
the election devolves upon the House, as
provided for by the Constitution. To

From an examination of the fod

1t is scarcely possible to determine

The use of lime for the preserva-

quichlime, which is gradually slaked

quires about a week to become thor

wood prepared according to this simple

markable consistency and hardness, and
Is incapable of rot, no matter what the
