preme court. 5 b. Packard has received
the richest consulship in the gift of Hayes as
his share of the divvy George L. Smith,
who forged the returns of DeSoto parish,
was appointed collector of New Orleans.
Jack Wharton was made marshal. Tom
Anderson, OF the returning board, was not
only rescued from the penitentsry, but kept
in his office as acting-collector during his
imprisonment and after conviction. Casa
nave, another of the returning board, was
made naval officer of the port. Kenner,
likewise Of the returning board, was APP
pointed to a snug thing in the customhouse.
J. Madison Wells, chief thief of the
returning board, was made surveyor
of the port, George A. Sheri-
dan, the special tool of the visiting
statesmen and the go-between in the return
ing-board infamies. was brought to Wash
ington where they could keep their eye on
HIM, and made recorder of deeds. J. Z. An
dersop, who was the witness the other day,
was offered small consulship, which he reck-
oned an insufficient return for his acquIes-
cence in the forged protest He therefore
refused it, and the administration, believing
itself able to defy him, gave him nothing.
The only visiting statesman who got
nothing was Mr.. C. Irving Dirty; but as
he went to New Orleans at the request of
Grant, and not of Hayes, and inasmuch as
while his Judgment may have been at fault,
his honesty and veracity have never been dis
puted, he has gottsh nothing. 1t therefore
appears that, since honesty got nothing,
slight rascality like Anderson's got slight re-
ward, and 80 on up, we have a sliding scale
by which to measure the degree of rascality
and the fullness of the reward; from Ander-
SOD, who got the offer of a very small and
remote consulshlp, up to John Sherman. who
got his hand IN the treasury up to the shout
der, and immunity from being called on to
explain all about that deficit of two hundred
millions, in the balancing of the books.
Let US turn now toward Florida.
Noyes, visiting statesman who helped
on the rascality there, was sent as
minister to France; Kasson, who as
sisted. was made minister to Austria;
NJ Lin, who has now confessed, in prospect of
early death, his connection with the Florida
frauds, was made chief justice of New Next
CO. Dennis, who now also confesses to the
Florida frauds, was made special treasury
agent. Cowgirl, the chief returning board
thief. was made United States marshal. In
view of this long array only one inference can
be drawn. These men were rewarded by
office for the frauds undertaken and carried
out with the full knowledge of Hayes and the
visiting statesmen; and it is by the glazing
light of these facts that all the testimony
heretofore taken and hereafter to be taken by
the committee must be considered. The
only perjurer in the electoral frauds that has
not been provided for by the President is
Eliza PInkston. Why has she been neglected?
Not even postoffice has been offered her.
The President has shown his appreciation of
the periurers who made him President, and
it would DE base ingratitude to overlook Eliza
Pinkston. The advocates of women rights
should take this matter in hand, and see that
the President does no injustice to Eliza simply
because she is woman.
