Wayne MacVcagh only u Broker.

Gen. Butler charges that the commission
was sent by Hayes to New Orleans to make
n compromise arrangement between Mich
ola and Packard, and that corrupt means
and money were used by the commission, or
o sufficient number of members thereof, TO
break up the Packard Legislature by indu-
cling certain number to desert it and go
over TO the Nichols organization. Wayne
Macveagh, the Chairman of the commission
has answered Buffers letter by another let
ter, in which he declares that the accusation
made by Butler is false, and also stigmatizes
Butler as a rascal. We are able to state,
from actual knowledge, that the declarations
of both Butler and MacVeagh are true, but
they are not the whole truth. Buffers are
substantially true, while MacVeaghs are
true only with reservation.
Butler is wrong when he asserts that the
commission used money in bribing Packard's
Legislature to go over to Nichols that is to
say, if Butler wishes it to be understood that
the money was furnished by MacVeagh or
Hayes, he is wrong. Butler, however, makes
no mistake when he says that money was
used in breaking the quorum of the Packard
Legislature and he is quite right also in con-
Meeting the commission with this dirty trans
action. The commission came to Louisiana
to play the part of pimp, or procurer, and
play that disgraceful part. 1t was a misera-
BILE transaction. The money that was used
in buying one by one of the Packard Legis-
lature did not, however, come from Wash
ington, but came out of the general funds
unconstitutionally appropriated by Mich
ollss Legislature, which the writer and 9TH
ers opposed The Hayes commission acted
as brokers in this underh and transaction.
We are positive THAT none of the money
used passed through the hands of the com
mission. The money was not paid at that
time, and Nicholas Attorney General has
| since obtained an injunction from the Court
to prevent the by issue the State Auditor of
warrants for the vouchers issued to the de.
serters for their mileage and per diem, An
other nice proceeding, 1t was a disgusting
trick all round There is no doubt of this
in the minds of those cognizant of the nego-
tiations.
We say it was only when the Packard
Legislature had been broken up and the
price of the deserters had been agreed upon
that the troops were removed to their bar.
racks below the city. Men may love trea.
son but still they despise the traitor Mr.
Hayes and his commission may have done
us some service in this dirty transaction, but
respectable men would not have had any
hand in it. The agents of Nichols engaged
in this business conceded its disgracefulness
and did not conceal their contempt for those
| who thus sold themselves, for the commits
sion, and for him who sent them to Louisi-
ana One of the Nichols Legislature, who
voted for the appropriation above referred
to, said to us: "rhey have been used all
their lives to be bought and sold; why
should we hesitate to avail ourselves of theil
venality for the good of our State ?"-Ne,,

4 NEW DEPARTURE.

The Washington r publican contains an
article written by a personal friends of Mr..
Hayes, after an interview on the subject
with the President, in which the writer in
dcates that as soon as it can possibly be done
the policy of the government in regard to
the payment of the public debt will be
changed, aud no further payment made on
it until the condition of the country becomes
more prosperous. The writer says "rhe
public credit is now so well established that
such change of policy would not affect it
unlavorably, while the relief which could
thereby be given to the people, by relieving
them from taxation, would be immense.
Such measure heartily adopted, in connec
tion with liberal system fpublic improve
mepts for the development of the resources
of the nation, would at once wonderfully re-
vive the depressed business of the country"
Mr. Hayes, as we understand, goes further
in his theory and advocates the instituting
of series of interna! improvements on a
large scale, for which the public money is to
pay If this is correct we are at loss to
understand in what particular the people are
to be benefited by the change. A reduction
Of all expenses of government would be a
boon but if taxes are to be nominally reduc
ed and the public credit pledged to schemes
of internal improvements, such as, for in
stance, Tom SCOTS Iexas Pacific railroad
then the people in the long run will be the
losers and the relief but temporary.

AN EVIL AND A NUISANCE. &.

The evils resulting from civil war are
many and various. Some of these are una
voidable and follow inevitably, but this
country has suffered for years numerous af-
hictions, which are in no manner the logic
al results of warfare, and which could be
instantly done away with by a judicious,
honest and capable Administration. One of
the worst of these infictions arises from the
belief on the part of large number of gen.
tlemen who wore the shoulder straps of gen.
eral officers during the late war, first; that
they thereby became diplomats and states
men, and, second, that the government be-
came liable to support them for all time to
come. The truth of the matter is, that in
many cases these gentlemen were vastly
oyerpaid in receiving their salaries, and no
obligation rests on the government to do
anything further for them.
But they do not think so, and the coun-
try is annoyed and, what is far worse, brought
into contempt by such exGenerals as John
A. Logan, Jadson Fitzpatrick and their like
vociferously clamoring for foreign missions
and those, too, of the first rank. The amount
of good produced by the military efforts OF
these gentlemen is of the most infnitessimal
description, and their qualifications for rep
resentatiYes of this country abroad are even
smaller. They were poor soldiers AID they
naturally gravitated into demagogues and
cheap politicians They ought to be dropped
promptly and permanently they bring the
country into disrepute and could in no wise
reflect credit upon it. As wire pullers and
politica! manipulators all their abilities
could find full play and to such duties should
they be relegated. The making of silken
purse out of the aural appendage of the fe
male pig is an easy task compared with tina
of making diplomats out of such material a
that offered in Logan and Fitzpatrick.

ANOTHER MASSACRE.

There is general uprising of Indians in
Idaho and numbers of white men, women
and children have been murdered, houses
burned and property destroyed. A force OF
one hundred troops and one hundred and
fifty citizens under command of Col. Perry
encountered the sayages at the head Of
White Bird Canon and a hand -to-hand bat
tie ensued in which the whites were defeated
and about one-half of the command killed.
The Indians are massacreing the white set
tiers and the aifrighted people are flying in
all directions. This is truly fine condition
of affairs, and the defeat of the troops will
doubtless encourage the Indians who have
as yet taken no active part in the difficulties

A BEAUTY.

Mr. Edwards Pierrepont, of New York
who is at present accredited to the Court Of
st. James, may without fear of rivals claim
to be the champion snob of America. Mr..
Piereponts newly discovered coat Of arms,
Mr. Pierrepont's aristocratic and titled friends,
his receptions, parties, balls and moveme nts
generally have been cabled to his admiring
friends in this country to the total and en-
during disgust Of gentlemen and ladies every
where Pierrepont is snob and nuisance
and ought to be promptly kicked out Of Office
and kindly but firmly advised to remain
abroad. There does not seem to be any end
to the funkeyism of this choice exotic. He
toadies every body of note or rank even if to do
so he has to be guilty of insufferable rudeness
to his betters. At a banquet in London, a
few days since, at which Grant was present,
the General, in reply to toast, said, neatly
and humorousy enough He had never
fought two battles in one day, but he would
rather fight two battles than make two
speeches." United States Minister Pierre
pont also responded to a toast, aud in the
course of his speech said, "That General
Grant had never fought two battles in one
day, for the reason that there was no one left
to fight the second"
Comment, we take it, is utterly superhu-
Gus. Pielrepont is entirely too fine for this
rude country of ours he should abide among
Jocks and Earls and things, and sleep on rose
leaves, and be sung to sleep by nightingales,
and make a continued and conspicuous ass of
himself in private capacity and not at til e
expense of the people both in money and rep
utation. Thackeray would have materially
altered his famous Book of Snobs" had he
lived long enough to have known and appre-
ciated "Me lud Pienepawnt." Any man has
a perfect right within legal bounds to make a
fool of himself, but not when foreign En-
bassador.

ExTRAvAGANCE IN FUNERALS.

Much has been written both by journal
lists aud essayists on the useless and in many
cases, sinful expenditure Of money at lune-
rails, and sermons both clerical and lay have
been delivered on the evil custom. Appar-
emily these warning and protesting words
have been lost on the ear of the people, for
the evil does not seem TO have abated. But
now another ally has appeared in the field,
and one whose Importance can hardly be
overestimated. A voice comes from the
Bench coupled with Il practical illustration
of the disfavor with which the matter is
viewed by the Judges. If other Judges will
take as firm stand there is no doubt that
much will be done to stop the extravaganza
which often pinches the living to decorate
the dead. Last week Judge Rhone, of the
Orphans Court of Luzerne county, filed an
opinion Withholding confirmation RiSi of the
administrator account in the estate of
James German, on the ground that the fun
eral expenses were excessive. The amount
of the decedents personal estate was S5Sl.S2
and the costs of burial amounted to no less
than Sl39.75. The administrator in this
case must produce vouchers to explain the
matter and if these are not satisfactory to
the Court he will probably be charged with
n part at least of the amount.
On this subject of costly funerals Judge
Rhone said at is not necessary to have a
pompous procession in great length in which
figure conspcuously waving pIumes-the
prancing livery steed, harnessed to finely
upholstered vehicles-and glistening silver
plated casket in which is placed the cold
clay clothed with raiment as costly as the
richest he wore when living. Neither is a
pile of carved marble with poetic inscription
set over the tomb in a conspicuous corner
lot in the city of the dead, necessary for a
Christian burial. Have the terms grave,
coffin and shroud been forgotten by every
bodyi Such parades as are called fine fun
erals may CRAFTY the vanity of the living,
but no respect for the dead demands them,
and where decedent's estate is limited and
his debts are not paid, or where he leaves a
family of helpless children, the expenses OF
such burials will not be allowed out of his
estate. Those who contract for and enjoy
such luxuries must pay for them them
selves"
