Democrats in Louisiana are depending
upon negative testimony for the main

propose to show that Intimidation did

That is all there is in the Democratic
case in Louisiana. They who testify
that they believe their lives were in
danger if they voted the Republican
ticket, and give reasons for the belief,
ought to be believed in a question of
this character as against these who
merely testify that they do not know
OF threats having been made. The
fact that threats were made can also be
established from The newspaper press ot

not been resorted to. Ii would GER

is the utteranee of public sentiment,

Right and Truth Will Not Fall.

Last Thursday Senator Conkliug in
the United States Senate presented a
petition for New York people on the
Presidential question, and at the pre-
sentatiou Of 1t made the following
speech
have been requested to present a
petitiou-weigaty by reason Of the sub
ject to which 1t relates, and by reason
of the number and character of those
who signed it. The petitioners are cit
izens of New York, distinguished net
only for their prominence as members
Of society, bu, for the large aud varied
interests they represent. They are
men prominent in each of the great
political parties of the country. | OBJ
serve among the signatures names which
a. the recent Presidential election we're
found on the opposing electoral tickets.
| observe the names of eminent bank
ers, merchants, manufacturers, ship
owners, scholars, professional men, and
other names long and honorably asso-
cisted With Leading enterprises aud in
dustries. Ii would be difficult to select
iu any State of the Union one hundred
aud Fifty individuals aid firms who rep
resent a greater sum Of property, intel
ligence and character, or VINO, as peri
tIoner., deserve more consideration. 10
lay ing this peririon before the Senate it
may not be amiss to add an avowal of
my sympathy with its appeal for order
ly, lawful and patriotic action.
In executing the Constitution in any
instance, and especially in an INSTANCE
so grave as the one referred to. psr,i-
san feeling, as guide ard rule of action,
can r'ghtiui'y have no place. Obedi-
ence 10 law, the observance of the Con
stituiion and the maintenance of truth
is not party question or proceeding.
IL is beyond party and above party
Parties NAV contend. and l believe 1t
Wholesome in free government that
parties should contend, over measures
and candidates. But when the contest
has been submitted to the ballot box,
the final arbirrament of popular con-
tests known In our system, the only
duty, the only lawful proceeding con-
neered with 1t which 7, main, is to fnd
an honest, true result; to declare it,
bow to 1t and stand by it.
That is the duty Of the hour II
rests on the two houses of Congress it
rests on the nation it rests on every
citizen of the Republic. That it will be
done, and done peacefully, decently
aud in order. these petitioners do not,
:hink, di,believe. They, in common
with all men, may derive confidence
from the fact that interest and expedi
ensy, not less than patriotism and honor,
point in one direction and teach one
lesson. Whoever stands on right and
truth will not fall Whoever attempts
to stand on wrong and falsehood will be
overthrown. l move the reference Of
the petition to the select committee to
which it properly belongs.

The last method is the one by which
Wade Hampton sought to mend his for
tunes in Mississippi. He struck out as
a planter on large scale, aud taking
advantage of the reputed wealth Of the
Hampton of South Carolina, whence be
came, he speculased on this false credit,
borrowed money and ran in debt right
aad left, mortgsged for large sums prop
erty that was already mortgaged for
twice or three times what it was worth,
and victimized capitalists, manutactur-,
ers, tradesmen, mule-growers aud others
in Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri,
Pennsylvania, New York, Massschu-
setts, and wherever else be could find
them, not excepting England, which
furnishes one victim in his list of cred
itors uuder the name of " w b. Port
mems, gentleman" who was taken in to
the tune Of $4,000
Among the list of Hampton's credi-
tors is James Robb, who stands in for
$40, COO. The transaction with this
gentleman, if report be correct, went a
step beyond even chivalry's notions Of
honesty aud bonor. In South Carolina
or Mississippi 1t would, At least. be
srigmatized as sharp practice. In New
York aud other Northern States it woulc.
be called downright swindiing, and
would en,ltle its perpetrator to term
n the State Prison. As the story goes,
Hampton borrowed SO, 900 of Mr..
Robb on piece Of property which he
represented to be free Of incumbrsnce,
but OF which, it turned out afterwaId,
a previous mortgage had been given for
similar amount, bet which had not
been recorded when the second mott
gage was gwen.

I
| The Disa yreea6Is Erpe, rcnce Of Indian
Chef Jaaa-Summary Justice.
The Indians o. this county have had
. grand feast at the POrtrero to cels
brate the anniversary Of some impor-
taut event in the history of their race.
Indian 4, bief Juan was among those
present, in all the glory of his war
paint and buckskin oreeches, restrain
ing the drunken wretcbes who would
commit violence on those weaker than
themselves. In attempting to arrest
an Indian be drew pistol to frighten
him, when several Of the latter's friends
rushed up to interfere and save him,
supposing It was the intention of Juan
to kill him.
| 1n the melee that followed, the pis-
tol was accidentally discharged, the
ball striking an Indian in the forehead
and killing him instantly. Juan was
securely bound, and after a short con-
ference among the other chiefs, eon
demned to death. Amid the lapenta-
tiops Of The friends OF the deceased, he
was led to o tree near their burying
ground, lasso placed around his neck,
the other end thrown over 4 limb, aud
strong arms drew the unfortunate chief
tain into mid AR, where ne dangied half
an hour and was thea pronounced dead.
| lie was taken down frcm his elevated
position, aud shortly at.erward those
gathered around were astonisbed to OBJ
serve in him signs of returning CON
seriousness. lie was soon entirely re-
covered, aud an examination OF the
throat revealed the fact that the rope
had caught on his chm sufficiently to
protect his throst from the full force in
tended. and had merely rendered him
| unconscious.
TIE Indians we're not satisfied with
ouee hanging hun, and on the next day
were to make another effort, which
~onld probably have terminated disas-
trou-iy Tor the Indian chief, had not a
runor Of the atf,ir reached town, and
Constable Thom,s went in hot haste to
prevent 4 second execution. He ar
rived in time. bur the Indians were ex
tremely unwilling t, give their prisoner
up. Juan was brought in,o town, and
it appearing, in his examination before
Justice Bledsoe, that the shooting was
done accidentally, he was discharged,
aud now roams over the streets Of our
city, in preference to placing his life
again in danger by rej'ining his tribe.

The Governors MESSAGE.


After a brief recognition of the
business inactivity Governor Hart
ranft opens directly on the finance OF
the Commonwealth.
The net debt is stated to be nearly
Sl4000,000. OF the payment of
LIS Indebtedness the Governor SAYS
In the next Eve years about twelve
millions OF the State loans become
payable. To pay the same would
take an annual payment of nearly
ty1 and half millions of dollars.
This IS not practicable nor desirable.
J, therefore, recommend that q new
loan be authorized, at rate of inter
est not exceeding FIVE per centum,
redeemable in fifteen years and pay
able in thirty years, for such amount
as may be deemed in excess of rea-
5onable reduction Of the public debt
fo; the next five years. A new five
per centIm loan would be taken
promptly ct premium and a large
amount Of interest saved The de-
sirGbii.tv Of such investment may
enable the loan to be placed at even
n lower rate of interest. The loans
OF the State would then successively
become payable during the next
thirty years, ani the Sinking Fund
Commissioners could always redeem,
annually, The amount required by the
Constitution, or more, if necessary,
ut par, and would not be forced to go
into the market and purchase at a
premium
From the finance of the State the
Governor passes 70 the consideration
of Banks and Saving Funds, Educa-
ton and Schools, Industrial Arts,
Historical Publications. Geological
Survey, National Guard, Lawless-
ness, Insurance, Construction Of Pub
lie Buildings, Navigation of Ohio
River, Stationery, Penitentiaries and
Prisons, Board of Public Charities,
Fish, Municipal Commissions, Cen
tennial Progress of the Century,
Periodical Depression, Conclusion.
On The whole, a cBndid review of
the situation will justify our hopes
and awaken our gratitude. No man
can regard The satisfactory growth of
rs State without feelings of pride
and thankfulness. No man, certain
II, can undertake to legislate for so
many millions and such vast interests
without a sense of dependence and
accountability to God, who has guided
the Commonwealth to greatness and
prosperity, through the vicissitudes
Of hundred years. Invoking His
blessing and guidance, let Us then
allress ourselves to the task of re-
tiieving past errors, perfecting past
efforts and devising just and salu-
tary laws to assist the people in their
further progress.
