In his examination on Monday, Gov.
Wells, Of the Returning Board, fatty
contradicted the testimony of Little
field and Maddox, and showed by rec
ord evidence that their statements were
false. lie never had any money tran.
sactions or money understandings with
respect to his duties as returning officer.
AS TO that portion of the return from
Vernon parish which Littlefield swore he
burned ON Wells order Wells showed
that the returns from Veron parish were
opened in the presence of two visiting
committees from the North; that the en-
closure contained no such papers as Lit
tlefield swore were burned, and that the
minutes taken in the presence of the Wis
ting committee show this. AS to the
charge that he desired 10 be paid to do
his duty, the old man, in q great burst
Of indignation, said, since 1859 he had
been Union man, he had stood up to
his principles when Rebel soldiers were
hunting him down on every hand, and
that In his old age his history did not
warrant anybody in saying that he
sought pay for doing his duty. The man
that said this is an unmitigated liar.
Gov. Wells begged pardon Of the COM
mission for his passion, but no thought
he was justified.

r The independence in journalism

II The independence in journalism
which freely criticises wrong and COR
ruption wherever 1t is to be found is
not only not reprehensible but it is COM
mendable. 1t is the mission of journal
ism, if Journalism has any mission, to
educate the people in honesty, truth and
justice, and to shun venality, selfishness
terest of virtue to misconstrue the acts
and utterances of men for the purpose
of finding in them vices to condemn.
The fair construction to be put upon
language is the right construction. The
reasonable supposition Of all influencing
motive of action is the correct suppose
ton. In the forum of the newspaper
one has no more right to infer evil in
tention than in the forum of legal dis
cussion. All nen in all acts and in all
relations, legal, moral, civil or religious,
are entitled to the presumption OF limo
cenco until proved guilty. There Is
something radically wrong about the
man who sees evil and only evil in the
aots of his fellow men, and that always
puts the worst possible construction
upon the language they use. Those
men and those newspapers who thus
scatter their poisonous saliva upon every
human object within their reach should
be summed as you would shun the veno-
nous viper within your pathway. They
are prolific sources of moral pestilence
and ruin. They are moral upas trees;
more deadly in their influence upon the
happiness of mankind than the tabled
valley OF death upon the lives of animals
straying into it.

How the Democratic Economists Waste
Money.

Money.
AT the time the Southern investigating
committees were ordered the Republl-
cans insisted that the expense would be
very much more than the S30, 900 appro-
priated. In the deficiency bill there
was paragraph to refund to Sergeant
at-Arms Thompson S57 ,S46. It is alleg-
ed to have been advanced by him to tue
investigating committees in addition to
che amount already appropriated. Eos
ter, of Ohio, denounced the manage
ment of the democratic committees as
extravagant in the extreme. He said
that this efficiency was but q small item
compared with the large amount yet to
be presented. There has been, he
charged, wilful, downright extravag-
ance in the expenditure OF the money.
Warrants had been hawked about the
streets of Washington at low rate and
upon the floor before him. Turning to
several persons in the rear he said he
saw nearly all the regular delegates to
the Ohio Democratic State Convention
getting fees as officers. They were re-
spectacle dead beats, who were serving
as deputy sergeants-at-arms. Being ill
terrogated to know who these respecta-
BILE dead beats were, he named the fol-
lowing who were regular delegates to
the Democratic Convention, stating that
they were all good men, and the Ohio
Democrats should be thankful that the
sergeant-at-arms had recognized their
merits: General Steadman, Mr.. Dono-
van, Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Aleshire, Foster
predicted that $50. 900 more would be
necessary to pay the expenses Of these
investigating committees. The house
agreed to reimburse Thompson for the
money advanced.

II 1t must be gratifying to the policy
holders of the Continental Life Insur-
ance Company to learn that lawsuit
has been commenced between the insur-
ance department of the state Of New
York and the present receiver of the
bankrupt company, as it is understood
that the assets are now insufficient to
pay more than small percentage of
lawful claims against the company. OF
course, the expense of suit will be
enormous and eat up the lions share of
what remains.

A party of miners in the Black Hills

A party of miners in the Black Hills
recently compared eyes and ears over a
camp fire, One said: "When / was COM
ing TO the Hills looked for Indians
until ] could see a mosquito mile
away" Another said that his eyes were
weak, but he could hear gnats jumping
around ON the rocks for four miles off.
The next man had listened for Indians
until he heard the mountain sheep light
on their horns in the Big Horn Noun
tains, three hundred miles away. The
fourth, with his head on his pillow, had
strained his ear until no heard the
Chinese mailing up tea boxes. The fifth,
in crossing the Rocky Mountains, had
found petrifled forest--big trees turned
into solid stone. AS he loitered on the
edge deer started across the valley
and was transformed in moment into
solid stone. A bird few past him, and,
perching upon a branch, began to sing.
Suddenly the bird was changed to stone.
The song she was singing was also pet
rifed, hanging down from the beak of
the bird--a cold, cold stone.
