his senses at the prospect OF all his dark and
disreputable transactions in Louisiana being
revealed. He breads equally the revelation

southern democrats. Edward F. Moves

come from Florida, which must drive him
from diplomatic, if not from political life.
Garfield and Hale know full we'll that they
