Facts About the $40, 900 That Was Raised to Count
in IIayes-The Money Used to Manuiacture E'i'
dence to COnnt out Three Tllden Electors
IN. Y. sun.
Washington, February II.-Ihere were
some inaccuracies in my dispatch on
Saturday night about Kellogg's confess
sion as to the use ofmoney to secure the
return of the Hayes electors from LouisN
lana. Twas mistaken in saying that the
money was originally raised in Chicago
on a note drawn by Kellogg and endors~
ed by Chas. B. Farwell. The money
1870 ooo) was raised in New Orleans. 1t
was needed when 1t was discovered on
Nov. 90 that, although by the polls and
parishes rejected up to that time all the
Republican State officers and a majority
ofthe Republican candidates forth Leg
islature had been counted in, three OF the
Hayes electors were still out, and that 1t
wouldrequire from 100 to 900 Democrats
ic votes to be thrown out to bring them
in. 1t was necessary to get up some ad-
ditional protests and so.called evidence
10 give the Returning Board colorahlc
pretext to throw out part OF the votes re-
turned from the parishes of Caldwell,
Calahoula, Iberia, Livingston, Nachito-
ches, Richland, and Tangipahoa, to give
the three Hayes's electors majorities
over their Democratic competitors. To
pay for this villainy, $2o, 900 had to be
raised Immediately. 1t was borrowed in
New Orleans, and two of the visiting
statesmen became sureties for it. One OF
the two was c. B. Farwell of Chicago.
Subsequently, to repay the $4,000 bor-
rowed IN New Orleans, the money was
obtained from the Union National Bank
OF Chicago, ofwhich Mr.. Coolbaugh was
President. Mr.. Coolbaugh was Demo-
crat, and at the time the money was OBJ
tanned he did not know that it was to
make good money borrowed In New Or
leans, with which perjured testimony
was bought by the visiting statesmen. It
was purely business transaction on his
part. The present officers of the bank
tell the exact truth when they say; "The
bank never loaned any such sum, nor any
sum, big or little, to Kellogg or any mems
Der of the visiting statesmen atthat time.
Kellogg never signed or endorsed note
to them as Governor of Louisiana. Mr..
Kellogg borrowed $4,000 of them about
eight months after the Returning Board
affairs, for which he gave good security.
The note is now nearly all paid, only
about S., 900 remaining, which, however,
is two months overdue, A few weeks
since the President of the bank wrote to
Senator Kellogg requesting its immediate
payment. Yesterday a despatch was re-
ceived from him, saying that they might
draw on him for $4,000, and the story
probably originated out of his prepara>
ton to meet said draft. 1t was purely
business transaction, for collaterals were
given to secure its payment" Kellogg,
of course, did not sign or endorse note
to them as Governor of Louisiana. He
did, however, borrow $40, to make
good the loan in New Orleans, and the
good security he gave was furnished by
two, ifnot more ofthe visiting statesmen.

A STEAMER BURNED.

Loss 100000 O--Orlgin Of the Fire Unknown.
New York, Feb. 1S.-This evening a
fire broke out in the old steamer City of
Dallas of the Mallory line, pier 20, East
river, and extended to the engine rooms
and cabin. Three alarms were sent out
as it was feared flames would communi-
cate to the dock, and in short time a
large force of firemen were congregated
on thespot. The steamer was laden with
500 bales of cotton from North Carolina,
clay for porcelain and fruit. The fire
gained headway, and smouldered among
the cotton bales. Streams of water were
turned on the burning vessel, and water
poured in large quantities into the hold,
with the intention of sinking her. The
vessel was sunk shortly after midnight,
and the fire extinguished. The cargo of
the City of Dallas was insured for $4,000
and belongs to various consignees, mostly
cotton merchants The steamer left Fer.
nandina, Florida, on Thursday last, and
arrived here to-day. She was bnilt at
Mystic, Connecticut, in 1872, at cost Of
$l25.000. She was $500 tons burthen,
Insured for $4,000. The origin Of the
fire has not been ascertained.

The question of the defense Of INDECENT
prisoners came up before the County
Commissioners yesterday. 1t is well
known fact that frequently more money
is expended by the county for the defense
of criminals than is paid to the States
Attorney for prosecuting the cases. While
the interests of humanity demand that
no one shall be punished without an OPP
portunity for defense, yet there are cases
where the Court should use the utmost
discretion before assigning attorneys for
the defense, and the county should
not be put to such expense unless there
is really question as to the innocence OF
the person. The Prosecuting Attorney
has no desire to convict an innocent man,
and we believe that as he has usually all
the facts before him, he would be Compe-
tent to say to the Court whether any le-
gal defense is necessary. If the abuse,
however, continues, it may be we'll for
the people to consider whether it would
not be good thing to elect public "de.
fender" as we'll as public prosecutor"

THE Boston Advertiser, strong gOldite

the coming of American bonds home

been running in our favor. If we can
spare the money to hold these bonds,
and there are millions of idle capital in
the country, it is much better the inter-
