Undermining the Democratic Conspiracy.
New York, February 2.-Tribune's
Washington special says: A Republic
can lawyer, connected with the Louisi
ana case, said tonight: I'VE cannot at
present give our side Of the Louisiana
bribery story. The purpose of the DEM
ocraiic committee under Dudley Fields
leadership is to conceal the Republican
side of the case and possibly the Demo-
Gratis hope to prevent its being made
public at any time. All I can say is
that it is a damnable conspiracy, and in
a few days we shall be able to prove
this to the satisfaction of every honest
man in this county.

The Pacific R. r. Survey.

The Pacific R. r. Survey. . fi
Washington, Feb. 2.-The Secretary
of War to-day transmitted to the House,
as an answer to jerks resolution Of Jan.
10, 1876, requesting a careful and exact
survey Of the distance on the Union Pa
cific and Central Pacific railroads be-
tween Council Bluff and Sacramento,
the report of Capt. W. ]. Twining, of
the engineer corps, to whom the duty
was assigned. This report shows that
the length of each Of these railroads
is somewhat greater than was shown by
the original measurements, upon which
subsidies were issued. The amount of
the error is, for the Union Pacific one
mile and a quarter, and for the Central
Pacific a little less than a mile. tie

Fine prospects have been found ten
miles below Custer, ON French creek.
The gulch narrows down and is every
bit as rough as the ground on Battle
creek. The water rises to the top and
there is plenty Of 1t for sluicing. This
part of the Hills has-never been pros
pected until very recently, the Indian
trouble having deferred the miners
from getting very far down toward the
foothills. There is no reason why the
lower part of the creek should not have
plenty of gold in it.
Golden City, on Spring creek, Is
lively and everything looks well all
along Spring creek. Morrill, & johnson
have just discovered a fine silver lode,
and also a rich vein Of gold quartz.
They have bought and bonded 4,50C
feet on what is known as the Jenney
Discovery, which promises well. Goals
& Co. have struck wonderfully rich
gravel in their claim, and say that they
have as good mines as are at Deadwood.
All Black Killers unite in saying
that it Is noteworthy that the Cheyenne
stage has not failed to arrive at Custer
and Deadwood on regular schedule
time. During the whole winter there
has not been a storm so furious as t.
delay the stage which carried the mails
regularly twice a week, and that with
out extra charge.

Louisiana.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Maddox con-
tinued his testimony to-day under the
examination of Burchard: While in
New Orleans he spoke to several Demo-
Gratis in a general way; had an inter-
view with Judge Walker, who pro-
posed introducing him to Baldwin &
Co. about the Louisiana vote; Col.
Zacharie was the person alluded to in
the telegram signed Joseph Hancock
and addressed to Col. Picket, as fol-
lows: Telegraph party to trust person
you wrote about; it may be to your in
terest." Witness was DESTROYS of pro-
ducing letters from Gov. Wells to Sem
ator West and from Gov. Wells to Mad
dox, but wanted time; they were in the
hands Of u prominent Republican; it re-
quired no money for their production
and he would take none; witness was
allowed until tomorrow to produce the
letters; witness said he acted on the
broad moral ground that it was better
for the people to buy their rights than
to lose them; it was Il part of his game
to appear to encourage Wells; witness
delivered a letter to the President from
Gov. Wells, intended for submission to
the cabinet; Wells wanted protection
in the discharge of his duties, and the
President said he should receive it, re-
marking that he wanted a fair count
and an hone st declaration of the vote.
General Anderson, of the Louisiana
returning board, testified to the ses-
sions of the board being public and at
tended by visiting members of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties; each
side had stenographers to report the pro-
ceedings; when the board went into
executive session it was to consider the
statement of supervisors and atfidavits
bearing upon returns; only officials of
the board were present at the compila-
ton of the votes. Burchard interro-
gated witness with regard to certain
atfidavits appended to a former special
message of the President on Louisiana
affairs, charging intimidation, etc.
Witness was satisfied from recollection
that those affidavits were before the
board; remembered the names of two
of the atlantis. In regard to Vernon
parish, witness had no knowledge of a
change in the returns to re-elect Sena-
tor Kelso; the official returns from that
parish were opened; the result was,
however, in favor Of Hunter as district
judge; witness always considered Hun
ter a Democrat; he was formerly secre-
tary Of state and was declared district
attorney; believed Andrews was a Dem
ocrat, IS he belonged to a Democratic
family; did not know the destination of
the official returns of Vernon or any
other parish; was not aware of any al
terations Of returns, and never had any
communication with any member OF
the board regarding the alteration or
destruction of returns; krew Maddox
for twenty five years, but not intimate
ly; had no conversation with him during
the anvass of returns last fall; did not
hear in New Orleans of any proposition
from Gov. Wells to sell out the state or
anything in that connection; had no
conversation with Maddox regarding
money or the result of the elections;
do not know of any negotiation or ar
rangement in connection with Maddox;

young came to America, landing al
New Orleans on the eighth of January,

migrated to Texas soon after the war

THE correctness of the STATESMAN' :
vaticinstions is asserted by the con-
duct of the Republicans OF the Penn
sylvania Legislature. They declare,
I'm view of the aspect OF affairs III
the South and an imminent rebellion
in the Gulf States" that the militia
Of Pennsylvania should be placed at
once upon war footing. If Nichols
and Packard only give Il pretext for
Grants intervention the struggle for
spoils and power will be made, not in
the vicinity of Washington or Pnila-
delphia, but in these detestcd South
ern commonwealth. Governor NIeh-
Olls's rights are perfect, rs these stTect
the office he holds, but he has no right
to transfer the seat Of war to the South.
If he must fight, and We do believe that
Packard and Kellogg and their asso
ciates should be hanged, he cannot in
volve Texas or neighboring Southern
States If these be wisely governed.
Our Intervention could avail Governor
Nichols nothing, and only result in
the consolidation of the North
against the South, in the destruc-
ton of TilGen, and IN the desc
lation OF al these States. We
can serve neither Louisiana nor our
selves by fighting, and Pennsylvania
Rsdicallsm may "resolve" as loudly as
it chooses that the "rebcliion" has
been resusCitated in the South and yet
Texas will give neither IN word nor act
the slightest foundation for the decia-
ration. There may be war. 1t may
begin in New Orleans, as Grant would
have it. 1t may b. pronounced another
and every town in Louisiana gar isoned
and yet Texas must stand aloof. Mill
tary domination is infinitely to be pre-
fGrred to that of Packard and Of North
ern thieves and adventures and saw
age blacks, and however we may re-
gret the overthrow of Nichols, Grant
will fail to inveigle Texas and the
South into war in behalf Of Nichols.
This is the purpose to be accomplished;
by the concession Of this qualified
power and partial success 10 Nichols.
Texas does not propose TO be victim

associates and advisers mort to give veri-
siMiiitude to the lying 'resoives' OF

RECONST szUUEEOS OF PARTIES
IN TIE SOUTH.

The great danger TO the South and
to the liberties of Southern people con
sists IL the simple fact that Southern
whites are competed in one party.
The natural result, the North and
South having been at war for thirty
years, IS that the North constitutes
another political party anu therefore
partisan conflicts are sectional con-
i.cts. The South, the weaker 0cIhEer-
ent, is constantly beaten. The "rcsi-
dent Of the United States is shrswd
enough to take advantage Of ,ncs un-
fortunate facts and is conscious tL.C ii
he can drive the South to armed resist
ance 20 any satrap Sc. over US by re-
turning boards Or bayoaets, the great
body of Northern people, Democrats as
well rs Republicans, Will be consoli-
dated against us. Then sgaIn the
South becomes the scene of robbery
and wrong and violence and crime and
poverty. These facts have induced the
discussion OF possible modes Of break
ing up present partisan combinations
and the substitution Of others in which
white people of the South may differ
from and nc arrayed against one an
other. Il was this end, it was
alleged, that Lamar contemplated
when he corTespondcd through some
friend with Mr.. Hayes, and
this was The purpose to be attained, il
U,yes would assent 70 a just and con-
scrvatiye Southern policy, when
Northern party leaders proposed to
fight and S1u.hcrn party leaders de-
cltyed FOR peace. These men of peace
were to separate themselves aud ad-
herents from those who followed either
Hayes or T.lden to the battle field.
The discussion Of these changes and Of
modes of llTertiug them, and thus of
changing the relations OF Northern
and Southern parties and communi-
ties, have been silcnccd of late, and it
is only confessed taat whatever the
course of events beyond the Ohio,
the South will have no part
in any possible armed conflict.
