Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
NORFOLK, December 20.-A gang Of river
desperadoes, residingin Norfolk and Ports
mouth, aud whose names are Lynns Sails
man, Robert Craft, Cornelius jenkins, and
John T&yIor, were captured and brought
before aayor O'Connor this morning on
the charge OF committing piracies on YES
sells in the harbor, and setting fire to inhab-
tied houses, robberies, firing vessels, and
committing deprcdations generally. One
OF the party Gyms Salsnan), from near
Emira, n. Y, turned States evidence, and
made startling revelation Of the opera
tons OF the gang within the last few
months, and gave a detailed statement Of
the manner in which thirteen vessels lying
IN the barber had been boarded and robbed,
and the plumber obtained; how they got on
board and burned the schooner Lucy A. few
weeks since; how they broke into Tilley's
SASH and blind-factory, first robbed it and
then destroyed it by fire; and how in like
manner other buildings in the village Of
Berkeley were robbed and destroyed by
fire. A reign OF terror was inaugurated in
that community. The disclosure unearths
great deal Of villainy that has long puz-
zled our detectives. The prisoners are all
very young men.

last fall and was badly beaten. Goff,
in his capacity of District Attorney,
had charge of the sale of the property
at Harper's Ferry, and now brings
in bill Of costs against the Govern
ment of nearly eight thousand dol
lars, three thousand five hundred Of
which he charges as commissions
This is exclusive of his personal
charges. If / am rightly informed,
the Department of Justice refuses to
allow this account, while at the same
time both Golf and Judge jackson re-
fuse to complete the transfer deeds to
the Government until the money is
paid. II will be seen what an en-

is placed in through Grants folly, to

The Great SwindIe.


The revelations of fraud in the con-
duct of the members of the Louisiana
Returning Board, made by witnesses
before the House Committee at Wash
ing are most appalling, 1t is hard
to realize that the destiny of the pco.
pie of the ertire nation have been in
the hands of such infamous Williams.
Littlefeld, who was one of the clerks
of the Returning Board, testified that
Gov. Wells, the president of the trib.
unal, absolutely instructed him to
take from the column of Democratic
votes in Vernon parish, and add them
up in the Republican column. In
accordance with these instructions
Littlefeld did make the changes and
the members all certified to the cor.
rectness of these fraudulent returns,
having learned the originals. From
what was done in this one parish we
can form some idea of what manipu-
lations were had of the remaining
parishes, and we can readily see how
a Democratic majority of thirteen
thousand in the State of Louisiana
was converted into a Republican ma.
jority of four thousand,
In addition to this comes the testi.
mony of the witness Maddox, who,
according to his statements, was
made to negotiate the purchase OF
the Returning Board, this tribunal
Of extraordinary powers having an
nounced that the little sum of one
million ofdollars would be an induce.
ment to do the fair thing and count
the State in Democratic, as the vo.
ters intended it to be counted, But
the Democrats failing to come Gown
with the "sinews Of war;" those loyal
scoundrels set to work and figured
out u result favorable to the other
party II has been well known that
some kind of rascality had brought
about this result, but heretofore the
investigating committees had failed
to worm anything out Of the party,
the Returncrs prcrcrring to suffer i'm
prisonmont rather than lay bare the
secrets of midnight sessions, But
fortunately for the country one of the
shrowdest lawyers ofthis or any other
country, was sent TO Congress TO fill

Nj F;eIS,sS experience in criminal
nraotj,e had qualified him for the
To,S in hand, and it is due to his
shrewdness in the examination of
witnessed and bis great legal talent,
that the facts were worked out of the
witnesses who have SO reluctantly
testified. The probability is that as
the ice has BEEN Broken, and Mr..
Field has. discovered the clue by
which the well-framed network Of
fraud can be unrayeled, the whole
fraud will be developed and the
Hayes electoral vote Of Louisiana will
vanish. This testimony is being
brought odf justin time to be laid
before the'High Commission appoint
ed to decide upon these matters, and
the high character of the gentlemen
composing that Commission is suf-
fcient guarantee that they will never
content to count in a. President who
holds his election upon returns made
by such notorious seoundrels. The
result will be that the electoral vote
of Louisiana will be counted for Til
den or not counted at all. In either
event Mr.. Tilden will be elected. 1t
will, however be a humiliating re-

0'Conor will ask the Court to 60 to
the State records-not for the pur-
pose of revising any figures, but to
give validity, force and legal effect to
what they show, In seeking to go
behind the certificates the Democrats
have no purpose or desire to have the
Tribunal resolve itself into a Court of
Chancery, but only to go to the re-
turns upon which the Returning
Board claim to have acted in accord
ance with law, aud to have truthful
~ and honestly interpreted the will
Of the people.
The struggle being made by the
Radicals to induce the Tribunal to-
stand by the certificates, is not that
they hope to get Hayes in, but to
save Wheeler. The very arguments
already used by the Republican coun-
sci and DIRECTORS will be quoted
against them when the case of Oregon
is reached. If they can have the
Tribunal decide that the declaration
made by the Returning Boards in
Louisiana and Florida must stand,
because attested by the great seal of
the State, Oregon will be the van
foreground upon which the bat
tie must then be fought, The game
will then be to have Cronin's certifi-
cate invalidated, and only two votes
from the State admitted, This would
make tie in the Electoral vote, and
throw the election into the House
Tilden would be safe, but Wheeler
would be gained. Any loaf is good
enough for them in their despera'
ton.

Still further developments in the
Louisiana election show increased
frauds, The evidence now is from
Republicans, Kenner, one of the
Returning Board, says they threw
out over 10000 votes for Tilden, but
he "didn't know what they did it
for; the election was the most peace
full one since the war" And one of
the confidential clerks to the Return
ing Board teStilles that he changed
the vote in one district, making a
difference of 800 votes, at the instiga-
ton of Wells, but refused to forge
the supervisors name, as suggested
by Wells. The latter is presumed to
have forged the name, as it now APP
pears on the returns,

Grants message approving the
compromise bill is a poser for the con.
spiracy wing of the party. He not
only endorses it as constitutional and
wise, but puts the knife to their the.

vote, What can tho Postmasters say
