himself on being q good republican,
and had been ready to lido any
amount Of dirty partizan work which Kel-
logg might require.
Mr., Leete therefore felt that he had
earned position and right of Office, -thatthe
very least which could be done for one who
did so much against good conscience
against right and justice, and who had
diRged and grubbed in the NTH and mire
for the benefit of an Office holding party,
was his own continuance in Office. and the
chance to live at public expense. When
he was removed. therefore, he lost conf
dence. Quite likely clap Of thunder in Q
clear sky would not have been any more
astonishing. The general run of Office
holders, in like manner, commonly mani
fest great confidence in the administrator
which gives them Office. and their conf
dence never weakeus until they are asked
to step out, then, their eyes are opened
and sometimes their mouths too. Th'
cohesive power of public plumber has
wonderful effect in keeping Office holder
together and in making their action uni
against all outsiders, but occasionally, hk
thieves, they do fall out and tell on one an
other. There is wonderful virtue anon
the Office holders as long as they are i
unison, and faults of stealing, or embezzle
Iment, or defraudinR government, are en-
tirely overlooked or winked at for the SAX
of holding on to Office, and it is only whe
radely kicked out and shut off from til
public treasury that confidence fails.

The Bargain.

Col. W. H. Roberts of New Orleans has
been making statements before the Potter
Investigation committee, which if true, or
anywhere near true, would pretty conclu-
sively show that Hayes had knowledge of
the Returning Board crookedness of Louis
lana, and that he was personally party to
an actual bargain by which Nichols was to
be recognized as Governor in consideration
Of his being allowed to become president.
Mr.. Roberts saw Murat Halstead, edi-
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial, and a
great friend and advocate Of Hayes, as he
was on his way TO Columbus to visit Hayes,
and communicated to Halstead the object
of his trip, and what he deemed the abso-
lutte necessities OF the Southern people re
quired. 1t would seem from Roberts
account that Halstead suggested the very
bargain which was carried out, Halstead,
however, denies there was any bargain so
far as he knows. and the public are emit
tied to the benefit of bis denisl,-it is
simply negative evidence, or to the effect
that he, Halstead, don't know of any bar
gain if there was one. Roberts on his
part makes the direct and positive state
ment that the proposition to let
Hayes be counted in as president in
return for acknowledgment and recogDi-
ton of Nichols as Gov. was laid before Mr..
Hayes in such manner as to be clearly and
definitely understood. Roberts swears
that Hayes knew perfectly well he was
talking with him in behalf of the demo
cratic side.
There has been so much slush and sIop
and evident false swearing in regard TO the
situation in Louisiana, that the majority Of
the people Of the country are in great doubt
whether a true state of facts can ever be
developed, but in regard to Col. Roberts
testimony the inherent probability Of its
being in the main strictly true is greatly
enhanced by the circumstances and events
which have followed, and which have been
10 accordance with the terms which it is
alleged were understood and tacitly agreed
upon. -
1t is well known that Roberts made the
visit to Hayes at Columbus which he tes-
titles to,--that he saw HaIstead at that
time,-that Lamar and other southern
men were reported to be at that time in
conference with the republican friends Of
Hayes-that there was more or less of a
definite understanding arrived at in the
Wormley conference finally there
was just such actual results took place az
is testified were arranged for and agreed
upon. The evidence, however conflicting
10 details, points with strong and direct
certainty to the general plan which wal
adopted and pursued by the republicans t.
seat Mr.. Hayes, and the amount Of evi
dence is not inconsiderabIe which connects
Hayes himself with having persona
knowledge of the frauds which were ,bein,
committed and of having bargained anC
consented to what TRANSFERRED.
