NEW ORLEANS was the scene of conflict
of authority yesterday which had smack of
the former times under Grants regime. The
Sheriff undertook to arrest Wells and Ander-
son, two of the precious rascals composing
the Returning Board of 1876, but was pre-
vented from doing SO by the United States
Marshal. After considerable controversy a
truce was called and kilograms sent to Wash
ington for instructions. Hayes continued
the policy which has marked his administra-
ton, of DESERVING his friends, and the Attor-
ney- General telegraphed New Orleans to allow
the Sheriff to proceed. Though the decision
was eminently right. it is pitiable to see the
man who profits by the gigantic crime of the
Louisiana Returning Board, deliver the cor
ruPt tools who placed him in the White
House, over to justice while he enjoys the
emoluments. In the meantime, J. Madison
Wells has disappeared and may escape the
punishment which he deserves, by flight.
The least Hayes can do is to divide his stolen
salary with the original scoundrels who stole
the Presidency and allow them to fee the
country which they have betrayed and dis
graced.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Io-days session
having been for debate only, as in committee
of the whole, the speaker appointed Mr..
Mayham chairman for the day. Mr.. Dur
ham then made a speech in favor of the re-
monetization of silver and repeal of the re-
sumption act. In the course of the speech
of Durham he said he would vote for the
Mathews silver resolution and for any bill
which would propose reduction of the tar
if. He would also lend his aid iu repeating
the bankrupt laws.
Mr.. Bright also spoke in favor of the re-
monetization of silver, and called attention
to the fact that he was the first person who,
in 1876, had brought the question before
Congress.
Mr.. Deering favored return to the double
standard of value.
Mr.. Humphrey spoke in the same strain,
and denied there was particle of the spirit
of reputation in the West
Mr.. Upton said the people We're demand
ing the immediate passage of the remoneti-
cation bill and the repeal of the resumption
act. If that were not done they would not
be satisfied with the passage of those bills,
but would also demand the repeal of the
note banking law

4 CHANCE FOR ECONOMY.

The Committee on Retrenchment has held
several meetings at the rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce during the past week to
consider wherein there can be more econ
omical administration of affairs in this city
and county. AS the proceedings of the
meetings have been private we cannot state
what plans have been proposed, but there
are one or two points which it
wonld be well for the committee to
consider, if they have not already done so.
For instance, as at presented regulated
the Clerk Of the District Court receives
three dollars per diem for each Judge who is
holding a session of court. If Judges Will
kin, Simons and Brill each have q term of
nine dollars per day. This whole per diem
could be cut off with advantage to the pub
lie, and at the same time without injury to
the Clerk. He has at the same
time his legitimate fees for the sum
moning and swearing jurors and
witnesses, which fees are largely increased
when there are three sessions of court at
the Same time, and it is manifest injustice
to the public to add the per diem to the fees.
The unearthing of this little woodchuck will
save the taxpayers of Ramsey county from
len to fifteen hundred dollars per annum.
The expense of criminal business is alto
gether too large, and there is all opportunity
for reform in that quarter. Instead of Civ
ing the Clerk and Sheriff fees for every
juror Or witness sworn OF summoned in
criminal cases, an allowance of one hundred
dollars to each, for each term of court
might be made which would make fair
compensation for the work to be reformed
With four terms OF court per annum this
would make an allowance of four hundred
dollars each to the Clerk and Sheriff for
criminal business.
The amount saved in this way
would 30 still larger than the
sum Topped of in the clerks pei
diem, and we commend these points to the
Retrenchment Committee These are times
when money is not made by positive increase
but by DECREASE of expenses.

FRAUD EXPOSED.
The Colorado ,

The Colorado Stone Nan a Gigantic Hume
bug.
New York Special (Jan. 24th) Chicago Tri-
bune.
The scientists who have expressed belief
in the "Colorado stone man" will probably
regret their haste. A correspondent, writing
from Elkland, Tioga county, Pa, charges
that he has discovered substantial proof that
the "Colorado Giant was made there by
George Hull, who
MADE THE CARDIFF GIANT
This information was obtained from E. j.
Cox a justice Of the peace, to whom Hull is
said to have explained the modus operandi
of his working. Hull nodded and baked his
giant, expanding, it is thought, $4,000 or
$4,000 on it, which exhausted his means.
Then he visited Barnum, and shortly after
wards, the object was shipped to Colorado
Springs, where it was planted" Cox was
invited to see the figure Feb. 1, 1877, and, in
his description, says:
''Ihe giant was lying upon board sup
ported by a saw-horse. A derrick-like struc-
ture stood over the kiln. and had been used
to take the giant out. Barrels of plaster of
paris, ground bone. ground stone, clay, and
other materials, were in the corners, and
there were many plaster mouldings lying
about on shelves.
Hull was in ecstacies. Said he: Don't
tell me that the people won't be fooled by
this.
.Hull called my attention to the four in
ches of tail which adorned the extremity of
the figures backbone, and struck match SO
that could see it plainly. Said he
'Cox, look at that tail. Take hold of it y
Then rising (for we were stooping), he ex-
claimed: THAT tail alone is worths.a mil
lion
Il called his attention to the fact that the
man was not perfect. He struck matches to
show me the differences in the toes. He
said it
WOULD NOT DO TO HAVE THE MAN PERFECT,
that there was nothing perfect about it. 1t
had been made so as to have it not like any
thing ever discovered of the human or brute
creation. The arms, he said, we're made dis
proportlonately long, SO as to make it appear
something between a man and an ape.
He explained how he had used $50 gross
of steel needles, which had been fastened in
lead, a dozen or SO at a time, and with these
he had gone over the entire surface of the
figure before it was baked, producing that
gooseskin appearance which has puzzled
scientific men.
':sSuppose,' said I, some scientist pro-
poses to go into him, what are you going to
do?'
sob ! said Hull. I've got that fixed and
he pointed to two places where he said the
scientists could have foot of surface to
work on where they would be sure to strike
bone. If they want to go in anywhere else,
said he, we shan't let Them
1.-The first idea was to bury the figure in
Connecticut, but to this Barnum objected,
and Colorado was decided upon.
ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR DISCOVERY
were most carefully made, and the humbug
was carried out with great success" Cox
now peaches because he claims Hull has mis-
used him.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan 26.-At full
meeting Of the Merchants Exchange this
morning. the following was unanimously
adopted.
WHEREAS, Through the established relations
of values existing for years past between gold
and silver, the people have acquired rights
that should be scrupulously guarded, and any
abridgement or impairment inhexibly resisted
justly leaving the results to those who have
wrongfully been aggressors in the movement
to destroy the usefulness Of silver as stable,
and reliable currency; therefore.
Resolred. We respectfully but earnestly urge on
Congress the repeal of the act prohibiting the
coinage of silver dollars of the standard value
and to provide for the same freedom of coin
age of silver accorded to gold and by
appropriate action to publish to the world a
determination to retain silver as legal tender
and measure of value.
The resolutions were prefaced by lengthy
memorial to Congress presenting the de
pressing effect upon commerce Of the de-
monetization of silver.
A resolution was also adopted. calling a
general meeting of citizens on the same
Subject in this city next Saturday.

REFORM SITE, COUNTY,
AND NUNTCTPAI.

REFORM ST4TE, COUNTY,
md MUNICIPAL.
The cardinal idea of Democratic govern
ment is simplicity and economy. The theory
interposes few agents between the original
of all power, the people, and the machinery
Of the government The practice has become
entirely the reverse. The United States is
the most governed country on earth, with
more elections, greater expense, a
larger number of ofice-holders, in
Vulnerable Offices, federal, state, county,
city, and township. 1t is absolutely fear
full to contemplate. All these things are ex-
pensive, cost money and require taxes to
pay. The trappings of a city would support
a royal commonwealth.
Just consider, that it requires 81, lbs, 511
to run the State government of Minnesota,
for one ycar-about So head, for every
man, woman and child in the State. Add to
this, all the county, city and township in
debtedness, and consider the taxation
necessary to pay. Minnesota is not an
isolated case. The same is true, in greater
The same is true of the National Govern
ment supreme over all. Thinking over these
things, is it any wonder that labor is OPP
pressed and depressed? Taking into the
subject, the Republican political financial
system of contraction, of legislation in the
interests alone of money, is it any wonder
that thousands of laborers have broken out
in despair, and demanded relief and reform?
And yet, on every recurring election, Pres
idential, State, city or county, or one or all,
the cry is reform. Every politician, every
candidate for Office bellows forth =
''Me miserable! Which way shall fly
Infinite wrath and infinite despair?
Which way 1 fly, Reform-myself Reform
What is the result? Hayes, President de
fucto promised reform. Now President
nearly year, where is the reform? The
whole powers of the administration
are being exerted to crush
the people by withdrawing the currency and
contracting in the interests of bondholders
and capitalists. The eighty thousand polit-
ical drones in Office, who have run the gov
eminent for ten years, rewarded for unscru-
pulous political partizanship, are retained,
and the brains, the healthy muscle, the in
tegrity and skill of the country ignored from
the Supreme Bench to the village post
master. Il
It was the expense of elections, the want Of
representation, the oppression of the labor
ing classes, that poured the volcanic lava of
Canning's eloquence over the throne, evoked
the fiery appeals Of Brougham, and bent his
knee in supplicat;on to the proud nobility
of England, caused the walls of Westminster
Hall to tremble, and shook the foundations
