PASSED !,

At IL O'Clock on Friday night the
electoral bill passed the house by vote
of l9l to s6. II now goes to the presi-
dent tor approval. That the president
will refuse to sign the bill no one believes.
He will sign t, and in its operation peace
will be preserved and justice done. The
people are TO be congratulated Oh this
solution OF one of the most momentous
political problems that ever before en-
gagged the attention of a nation.

possible to state, as Littleheld or some
one else has stolen the original and sub.
stituted forged copy for It, but the
testimony sheds q flood OF light upon the
affair nevertheless. 1t shows that in the
bulldozed Vernon Parish there were 700
Democratic votes to two Republican,
result almost as notoriously corrupt as
that in East Feliciana. After receiving
sufficient proof OF the violence and in
Limitations practiced in that parish,
the Returning Board excluded three
of the worst precincts which aggre-
gated 178 Democratic and no Repub.
lican votes, and Littlefeld was directed
TO make out the returns in this manner,
but, instead of doing this, he deducted
the 178 votes from the Democratic side
and added them to the Republican,
and then sold out his infamy to Murphy,
Palmer and Field. The proof that this
infamy is all his own is clear from va
riety of reasons, among them the follow
ing: 1. The Returning Board knew
nothing of the additional change and or
dered nothing of the kind. 2. Little
field stole the original returns and sub
stituted a copy in his own handwriting.
3. The change did not affect any candi-
date to the extent of changing the re-
suit, and thus nothing was gained by the
Returning Board in doing what he al
by it, and no one was defeated by it, but
everything was left where II was before.
In point of fact, a Democratic State SEN
ator was elected by 1873 majority. 1t did
not carry the State for Hayes nor for
Packard, nor for any Republican mem
Der of Congress, nor affect the result in
any parish or district. The Democratic
Committee may assume for their parti.
san purposes that the Returning Board
is composed of knaves, and hire thief,
blackmailer, and forger to prove it, but
they have no right TO assume that they
are such idiots as to alter returns, know
ing that they cannot affect any result,
and knowing that the fraud would show
on its face, or as to order their clerk to
do it. The objects of the man Littlefield
are apparent enough. He is seeking, in
the first place, to magnify himself; in
the second place, to secure revenge for
his removal from profitable place; and
third, to obtain his reward from the
barl." The estimate that is to be placed
upon the testimony of such an infamous
witness and upon the conduct of the
man Field, who has had him in charge,
may be best fixed from Mr.. Morrisons
refusal to have anything to do with the
witness or the stolen property, which
Tweed's lawyer wanted to shove into his
hands. If this is the manner in which
the Democracy is to conduct its case
after the appointment of Board of Ar.
bitration, it would seem to indicate that
they do not want an honest decision even
from that body y.-Chicago Tribune.

An Infamous Witness.


Democratic papers are seeking to make
political capital out of the testimony of
the man Littlefeld, clerk Of the Louis
lana Returning Board, who, from his own
confessions, is so far untrustwOrthy and
perjured that he would not be believed
upon the stand in any court. The his
tory of the champion political scoundrel
as gathered from his own testimony, the
testimony of the Returning Board, and
statements both from Republican and
Democratic sources, may be told in a
few words. Littlefield is Northern
carpet bagger, who went TO New Orleans
and obtained the Office of Hay-lnspector
from Gov. Kellogg, from which he was
subsequently removed for some cause by
Lieut.. Gov. Antoine, during the Govern
or's absence from the State, thus giving
him at the outset motive for revenge
He next turns up as clerk Of the Return
ing Board, and in that capacity is con-
veniently found aud coached by ex-Gov.
Palmer, who turns him over to Judge
Murphy, of Davenport. After Little
field has abstracted the genuine Vernon
County returns from the Office of the
Secretary of State, substituting forged
returns for them, Judge Murphy takes
him to Iowa, having copy of the forged
returns in his possession. He remains
in Iowa for time, learning his lesson,
and at the proper time starts for Wash
ington, stopping on route at Springfield
long enough to receive additional coach.

Boss Tweed in his vllainies, and. after
being coached by Field, appears on the
stand and testi6es that he was directed
to alter the returns from Vernon Parish
by transferring certain number Of
votes from the Democratic TO the Repub-
lican side. What the condition Of the
