THL KIND Or A MAN WELLS

Hon. j. Madison Wells, the chief Of
the Louisiana returning board, has lately
been loudly and persistently eulogized
by the prominent members OF the Repub-
lican party who are anxious to put the
best clothes they have upon the mon
strous outrage they propose to perpc-
trate by the Inauguration OF not elected
Hayes TO the presidency. These good
souls have been asserting that Wells is
one OF the most patriotic, most honest
ana most unselfish men in the
world. When their attention is
called to the tact that Gen
eral Sheridan denounced him as ras-
cal, they say Sheridan was hot in anger
when he used this language, and that
when the general removed Wells from
the guberhatorlal office of Louisiana be-
cause he was an obstruction to recon-
struction, great wrong was done to
noble hearted union man. When they
are asked to read the denuncIation OF
Wells contained in the reports OF Repub-
lican committees OF the house and SEN
ate OF the United States, they say the
wicked Democrats induced the commit
tees to make those unjust reports
coaXed them to injure honest Wells
in the interest OF the Democratic party.
But not long ago, Gov. Wells was
witness before Mr.. Morrison's commit
tee at New Orleans, and by his own tes-
timony exhibited himself as man OF pc
culiar princlples-as a money-making
patriot, whose business is to hold office
aud reach after the contents OF the treas
uries OF his country and state, With utter
disregard of the truth lac swore that the
returning board law rs the best that
could be made. and then cody testified

EDITOR TIMKs-DEAR SIR: / Saw .
statement in the TINES of December LIST,
stating that l.. f. Baldwin. the late
Justice Of tho Peace. would not give I'D
his docket TO Mr.. J. E. Van Voorhis; but
for what reason the item did not state.
wish to explain why l refused to give it
up TO him that there may not be any mis-
understanding about it.
In the first place l understand that all
Justices of the Peace, when elected At
any general election, hold their offices for
two years.
In the next place. Mr.. vanvoorhis was
not legal voter when elected. lacking
several days Of being In the State si1
months. Yours truly.
d. Z. BALDWIN.
We think Mr.. Baldwin is mistaken in
regard to holding two years. IL 10 our
impression that the term for which any
Justice of tho peace 10 elected. expires
with this year.
In the other case, Mr.. Van V0orhis has
. certifieats of election. and, nnless his
election is contested. he will hold the
office. II Mr.. Baldwin should contest.
and it should be decided that M. Van
Voorhis was not eligible at the time Of
his election, the Office would become
vacant. and the Governor would appoint.
As Mr.. Van Voorhis was almost unani
mously elected. he would he very likely TO
receive tho appointment from the Gov
ernor. in pseferance to any one else,
having become clearly eligible to hold the
Office. Therefore, taking everything into
consideration. we think Mr.. Baldwin will
gain nothing by contesting.
We understand that Mr. Baldwin has
commenced contest before the Probate
Judge. The Office he is contesting being
q township Office. such proceedings should
have been brought before q different
court.

ChariOts Of Ancient BritOns.

When Caesar first landed in Britain,
the most fourishing branch of the manu-
featuring industry was the coach, OF
rather the chariot, building business.
The Romans had seen pretty samples
of chariot work in Gaul and Belgium,
but the British Car, or chariot, was a
big improvement on the continental arti.
Gle. 1t was to the foreign car as the
curricle is to the gig. When the Ro-
mans captured Cassibelaunus, they took
with them no less than six hundred cars,
and the British car, soon after it was
known, became the fashion for people
who could afford to keep one.
Cicero thought there was little in the
island worth transporting to Rome, ex-
cept those masterpieces of workmanship
and painting, the British war chariot.
" May trouble you," he writes to q
friend in Britain, "to bring me over one
as q pattern !" There can be no ques-
tion that when a dozen or so distin-
guished gentlemen in Rome first APP
peared on the highway in the novelty OF
novelties, a British chariot, with its
coachman ON the pole, aud half dozen
grooms running by its side, there was a
sensation in polite circles only to be
paralleled by meet of the four-in-h hand
at Central Park, New York.
