That Bari Again.

David Dudley Field and his Democratic col
leagues on the committee now investigating
the Louisiana election had better retire for
consultation. Here Is one of the startling de-
velopments made by that committee yester-
day. With great eclat Of bluster this letter,
unsigned, was read
"For one million OF dollars the vote Of Louisiana
can be secured TO Tilden and Hendricks. The
manipulation must be done By me, and as far as
possible to protect the members Of the Returning
Board who may favor such O result 1t may be
necessary to elect two or three members Of the
board to reach what We vant-the details to be
sSsSs IN
one quarter whom one member resigns and another
is elected IN his place. and one quarter a. Ter when
and balance one quarter to be paid when the Ger.
tihcatss are given"
Here, again, we find the barl struggling
for the mastery. If this letter Is q genuine
one, then the political intriguers Of the
Democracy are bolder than we supposed, and
the very face Of this attempted transaction
proves that they were convinced that the
State of Louisiana had gone for Hayes. Here
is q direct proposition to sell the State out, II
the letter is genuine. But, In order to do
that, II was evident from the face of the
letter that the present board which did make
the returns would have had to be entirely
reorganized and new members appointed.
This bargain was not made, the board re.
mained as 1t was, and, uninfucnced BY the
bar'l, they canvassed the returns and declared
the electors for Hayes and the State for
Packard. This was unfortunate for the
Democracy. II they could have made this in.
famous compact, and secured the removal, =,
the letter states, Of the present members oi
the board, and got on Democrats or milk. and.
water Conservatives, the State could have
been manipulated for Tilden by the aid Of
this corruption fund. David Dudley Field Il

The Great work orTo.Day.

A mixed tribunal, created by the National
Legislature, will perform to-day one Of the
most memorable acts In the history Of the Re-
public. After a heated political canvass of
six months; after long and trying contro-
versy with and nght upon the election returns
Of three States and q side-show issue In Ore
gon; after a long and animated struggle In
Congress, this mixed tribunal comes forward,
clothed with the majesty Of extraordi nary law,
for the purpose Of electipg President of the
United States. The task is one that will try
the souls Of those who have to sit in judg-
ment on the great national election. AL
though there is general disposition through
out the nation to abide willingly by the deci-
sons of this extraordinary body, still the
members composing will be the subjects Of
criticism, and the objects Of political hate.
The tribunal is undoubtedly composed Of
fifteen of the ablest men of the Union. They
are men Of great public experience and a
good knowledge Of political affairs, and most
Of them of constit utional law. They are
amply qualified to render justice To both
parties, and the country may expect from
them decision according to the law and
facts in the case. This will elect Hayes
beyond question, and once more the wheels
Of progress will go round and round, and we
will be busy and happy people.

The GambIer.Deteetiye Lobby.

From the time the Chaplain's prayer was
offered in the Senate yesterday until that body
adjourned squads Of gamblers and their
representative men could be seen mousing
around the lobby In their desperate efforts to
secure the passage the Police Board bill over
the Presidents veto. That veto means death
to them, so far as their nefarlous avocatlon
Is concerned. 1t means that gambling shall
be carried on no more under the very eyes Of
the police force and not an arm raised to
punish the iniraction of the law. 1t means
that the dens of infamy which have held high
carnival In our midst unmolested shall here
after be closed and the criminals punished
1t means that wrong shall be crushed and
right shall triumph, and that, notwithstand-
Ing the efforts OF the detectives to shield the
gamblers and the gamblers to shield the de
tectIves, they shall be punished for their
crimes.

Origin Of the Phrase, awake Me up Whom
Kirby Dies"

Celia Logan explains the originof the phrase,
awake me up when Kirby dies" Kirby was the
leading man In the old Chathamstrset Theatre
New York, and although good actor OF his type
and a iavorite with tho boys, he made no especial
"Miko Martin" in which he played the character
Of Thunderboh 1t fell to his lot to be shot on
the roof a house. When he received his death
wound he leaped from tho root to the stage. In
order to make q realistic effect, he CONCEALED In
his sleeve a small sponge soaked with red paint.
When tho shot was fired he Instantly clappe
this sponge to his forehead and tho red drop
running over his face gave the appearance Of d
ghastly wound, and that coupled with his bold
leap and well. acted death, made q great sensa.
tion. He was nightly encored and compelled TO
die over again. Tho boys would Orion drop to
sleep In the early part OF the play with the 70.
quest to a companion 10 wake them up when Kirby
died.
