No Titles at the White House.

On dit that President Hayes appre-
ciates the absurdity Of military titles
being applied to the gentlemen on duty
az members Of his official household.
Major Sniffen Is, Of course, a major in
the. United States army by rank, right
and proper titles; but generals, colonies
and captainsare now unknown. Mr.
is the proper title by which to address
the officials at the White House. ANY
thing else is vapid and absurd.

WHISKY BILL AND HENDERSON.

Their Cases Considered by the AttOrnel
General ana by the Governor.
The transcript in the case Of Henderson, til,
condemned murderer, has been returned to Gov
Nichols by Attorney General Ogden. The Gov
crnor has also found
THE ORIGINAL COMPUTATION
OF sentence issued in the case by Kellogg land
will not take further action in the matter until
the Senate meets.
The transcript in the case of Whisky Bill has
also been examined by the Attorney General,
who finds 1t regular, excepting that the trial was
before and the sentence pronounced by Judge
Braughn, who the Ludeiing Supreme Court has
said, according to Gen. Ogdens view, was not q
de jsre Judge, and notwithstanding that the same
court
SUSTAINED THE SENTENCE
when the case was carried up on appeal.
The first case referred to was that Of Pete Phil
lips, convicted by jury of perjury and sentenced
by Judge Braughn.
An appeal was TAKEN the ground OF exception
being that Judge Braughn, having been ap-
pointed by Judge At0cha, WAS not under the law
the legal Judge, and the Ladeling court sus-
tanned the exception, granting . new trial. An
other case, that Of Geo. Fritz. for forgery. was
decided In the same manner.
The Governor and Attorney General hsd quite
afternoon, the latter giving the Executive his
views upon the matter.
The Governor had not, up to the time he left
his office. determined what his course would be,
and will not, perhaps, determine until he has
given the subject careful consideration.

part of it. They sit up nights with the great
charter of our liberties. There isn't one or
them but that thinks great deal more OF the
Constitution of the United States than he does
of his own We shall be disappointed If Gov.
Grover does not give them tho San Francisco
speech over again, or at least repeat the same
noble and elevating sentiments.
Meantime CrOnn suffers crOss-examinatiOn.
and it is not. we think, carrying it too far to
say that he "sloshes round" in it with some
difficulty. We really fear that CrOnn has not
only disappointed his friends but has been
disappointed himself. We anticipated it sew
eral days ago, and gave him fair warning as
he was swoOping down on Washington from
the Rocky Mountains. Everybody understands,
of course, that he as well as Grover is con-
firming and maintaining the great charter OF
our liberties and Obeying the mandates; but
it turns out that he gets $4,000 for 1T;
in fact that no got it before he
started in and that has mercenary look
And yet we do not understand why CrOnin is
neglected and Grover serenaded CrOnin is
the Electoral College and the messenger, and
brought the vote of the State, while Grover
brings nothing but pamphlet, which may be
weighty but can't be counted. We appeal for
fair play between the two. Either serenade
Cronin, who has been cross-examined, or post
pone Growers serenade till after his cross
animation. Perhaps the Tden and Hendricks
Reform Club won't feel so much like hiring a
brass band after the committee gets through
with Grover. Unless indeed they are like
Grover-men who don't count the cost, but
have it charged to some one else. Which
may be.

self last Wednesday, at least after the hos
passions Of the affair are allayed.

The london Tines secs clearly what the America aa
press. with the exception Of The TRIBUNE and The
Herald, do not seem to appreciate, namely that tel
egraphic consolidation always involves the robbery
of tho press. The movement to bring about in Lon
don an arrangement between the Anglo-Americaa
and the Direct United States Cable companies was
based upon the ground that it would be better for
both companies to stop fighting and to share
profits. The constitution Of the Direct Cable Com.
pany precluded it from any participation in the
profits of the Anglo-Amercan Company and the
chairman of the Globe Trust issued circular to the
shareholders of the Direct Gable Company, inviting
them to have their prohibltOry clause repealed The
directors of the Direct Cable Company called an ex-
traordnary meeting for the purpose OF considering
the advantage of making this proposed arrangement
for joint purse with the Anglo Company, whie
working still undeg separate organizations and
also the "expediency of altering the articles OF
association to the power of the directors to mako
any agreements they think fit with other compa-
MES Except the Anglo-American Company with
out reference to the shareholders" The Tines sums
up the case very sensibly: Should the purposes
shadowed forth in this circular be carried out COM
petition for the telegraphic business with America
will once more be at an end. and we may expect Q
return to monopoly rates"

nc tn the nature and effect of these mlsdeeds.
The claim, which savors strongly of partisan
shin. that they were ordered from party head
ouarters. may be dismissed as trivial and Irrel-
eyant. The same deeds, if perpetrated without
sucb instigation, would have been equally
violation of law, and would have been as
likely to prevent n free and legal eiectloh'
Several thousand witnesses swear That they
saw the effects of this violence; some, that
they were personally assaulted; some, that
they knew of the murder of Others and were
warned that it would not be safe to vote the
Republican ticket; some, that they were per-
sonally threatened or warned; many. that they
did not vote rs they wished, because or the
real or suppOsed danger; and many others, that
among their acduaintances there were many
Rcpublcans thus cOcrccd or driven from the
polls by fear. Such is the nature OF the evil
dence on one side. Thousands swear that they
personally know certain facts. On the other
side. thousands swear that they did not see
anv intimidation, nor hear any threats, AMI
that they know nothing to warrant the bellet
that the election was not fair and free. Which
GET of witnesses is to be believed Which
would he believed, if the issue were the guilt
or innocence of man accused OF horse
stealngf
In these few words the Louisiana case,
"a it now stands is summed up; thousands
swear that they saw and thousands more that
they did not see. The Presidency OF the
United States depends, in equity If not In
actual result, upon the degree of credibllIty TO
which such conflicting testimony is entitled.
There are all manner of side issues. Especially
there is the strictly technical view taken by
Judge Trumbul and others who composed the
Democratic committee. which amounts to TINS:
that the Returning Board had not legal au-
thority to consider much of the evidence pre-
scnted. Plain people Of honest instincts Will
asl, not what the Board had technical right
TO find out but what were the actual facts.
As to these we must either believe the thou
sands who swear to what they saw and sui
fercd. or the tho usands who swear that they
did not see and did not suffer.

LNTLMLDA7ION N LOUISIANA.


When fifty men testify that they did not see
certain thing, and fifty, more or less, testify
that they did see that thing which side is
to be bclieved7 Everybody knows the rule of
law and of common sense. One man who saw,
and swears to il, Outweighs fifty who did not
see, and swear to that strip the Louisiana
case of all DISCUSSES and excrescenccs, and it
is simply an illustration of this wcll-knOwn
rule. One man who saw that his life was in
danger If he voted as he pleased ought to
outweigh many men who did not see any
violence or hear any threats. We are sup
posing that the witnesses are equally credible !;
that there is no reason TO doubt that each
swcars to what he believes to be the truth.
Yet the knowledge of one man outweighs the
ignorance of thousands. Assassination, beating,
intimidation of voters in any form, are crimes
in Louisiana. No man takes pains to commit
crimes with all possible publicity. The one
witness who saw q murder committed, and
identifies the murderer is infinitely more i'm
portant than the many who did not see, and
who think that the murder was not com
mittcd at all, or was committed by somebody
else.
1t is not denied that some horrible crimes

Democrats admit but claim that they had no
political origin. Two questions of fact arise :
Were those crimes committed for political ends,
and was the effect of them and of other acts
of violence and threats such as To deter men
who wished to do so from voting the Rcpubl-
can ticket AS to the purpose, We must say
that the facts speak for themselves. A great
many persons were killed, or assaulted with
| violence they were nearly all Republicans ;
and in nearly every case they were Repub-
cans of such local importance that the fact
of their assassination would necessarily
alarm many others, and deter Republican
voters. Precisely in the parishes where
these things occurred, the Republican vote
most unaceOuntably dccreased-unaccOmtab
if we suppose that these acts of violence were
not the cause. Nobody has attempted to give
any explanation of the fact that, out of thou
sands Of known Republicans in East Felciana,
for example, only one solitary man dared to
vote, excepting upon the theory that they were
deferred 10y violence. No man has given, and
no man can give, any explanation of the amaz-
ing decrease of Republican votes in certain
localities and not in other parts of that State,
who ignores the fact that Ill those very lOcali-
ties acts of violence were most frequent
We come, then, to the conflicting testimony

TIE COMMITTEES At ALBANY.


As usual after the election of Speaker, the
State capital is full of gossip and rumOr about
the composition of the committees We hear
great many stories of bargains between va
rious leading statesmen of the Legislature and
gentlemen who professed to be the agents or
next friends of Mr.. Sloan, and the Speaker is now
called upon to fulfill the promises said to have
been made by these persons to the members
who secured his election. We do not believe
that Mr.. Sloan was a party to any such COM
pacts. We are certain that he is in no way
bound by the unauthorized pledges of OfliciOus
friends, and we trust that he will disregard
them.
The most important place in his gift is
perhaps the craftsmanship Of the Committee
on Railroads. The people will watch the ap-
pontment to that post with peculiar interest.
The election of Mr.. Sloan was understood to
be a signal defeat of the Railroad Ring, and
now that the purpose of the Railroad Ring is
virtually confessed and the danger which it
imports to the commerce of our State and our
metropolis is clearly understood Mr.. SlOan's
position becomes q matter of general concern
The railroads are engaged in a scheme to de-
stroy the Erie Canal, in order that they may
monOpolze the carrying trade of New-York.
The Legislature of 1877 has got to fight them,
and we look to Mr.. Sloan to justify the good
opinion which his party formed OF him when
he was elevated to the chair
