As Chairman Of the Presidents partisan
| committee to New Orleans and the next
| friend of Mr.. HAYES, Senator JOHN SHERMAN
has become tho chief champion of all the
rogues who have heretofore revolved
around KELLoGG's so-called Government,
and who are now striving by scandalous
frauds to continue it in the person Of PACK
ARD who all along has been one of the main
props of this vile crew of thieves and advcn-
turcrs.
He has defended the Returning Board;
declared their decisions TO be as binding as
those of the Supreme Court OF the United
States; and vouchcd for WELLS, ANDERSON,
and their confedcratcs, az of equal standing
to any member Of the Senate. lie has vindi-
Gated KELLOGG as an injured patriot, who
deserves well of his country. lie has culo-
gized PACKARD as "a sober. orderly Maine
man." who was endorsed by the ancient
HAMLIN; and he found all the carpet-bag-
gers to be virtuous set of Republican,.
who only intended to rule the people Of
Louisiana wisely and we'll.
Mr.. BoGY made sad havoc with these
culogiums the other day and presented
faithful portraits Of the whole gang, inciud-
ing the Supreme Court, which was created
expressly to give the external forms Of law
to the outragcs and robberics Of KELLoGG's
usurpation. LUDELING, the Chief Justice,
has been rendered Infamous 10y n judgment
of the supreme Court, which is familiar to
the country. With q knowledge Of the ma
turc of that opinion joins SHERMAN had the
effrontery to stand up in the Senate and at
tempt TO break its force by wilful mis-
representation of the facts. Here is what

This is a specimen OF low cunning, and
of the INSCRIPTIONS manner in which JOHN
SHERMAN has striven TO whitewash the
characters and the infamics Of these corrupt
managers in Louisiana, who have combined
to steal the vote Of that State for HAYES
