,drcds of men In this city would not believe
him under oath. He holds prominent POSI-
ton in the city government, although he has
denounced the female teachers Of tho public
schools as prostitutes
WILLIAM r. SMART, the custodian Of the
Vernon records, would omit no lie that he
could utter that would be likely to convict me.
During the rebellion he stole my stock, killed
my hogs and poultry, and put the vote to his
company IL they should kill me and burn my
dwelling over the heads Of my family. A. Il.
BuRK, another prominent witness, absconded
from the little town of Xcnia, Clay County,
State Of Illinois, and changed his name from
A. f. BuRx to 4. A. BURKE Debts have fol.
lowed him here for liquidation over tho sigma
tufc of A. T. BuRK, aud some Of them have
been paid by him, thus affirming the fact Of
his ascending and changing his name.
The names of the jurors that were empan.
neled for the trial Of ANDERSON and myself
were furnished by the Democratic Committee.
Their political status, as we'll rs their views
as to tho proper punishment. was canyasssd
by tho Judge, Attorney General, and the
Democratic Committee before being placed on
the panel. Ono Of tho Jury Commissioners
testified before the court that tho list Of jurors
placed In the jury-box from which talesmen
were drawn, after cxhausting the panel was
furnished by the Democratic Executive Com
mittce, and this fact was known to the "Dea-
con OGDEN, the assassin EAGAN, and the pet
tifoggcr FISNEY."
He pays his respects to Hon. RAINFALL
l.. GIBSON, who, he says, has seen fit to
calumniate the returning board, and has at
tempted to justify their persecution as
follows:
This colored Democratic Representative
seems to claim q right TO assail the white race
because he feels boastingly proud of the com
mingling Of the African with the Caucasian
blood In his veins. When l was acting fore
man Of the United States Grand Jury in 1874
this colored Representative Of louisiana In the
Congress Of the nation vss presented to the
Grand Jury for violation of the election laws,
fraudulently filling the boxes with tickets
that were never balloted, aud would have been
indicted by the jury, and in all probability
sent 10 tie ponitentiary, but for my loniency
and forbearancc. The evidence Of .his guilt
taken before the jury is yet in tho hands Of
one Of its members. The lineage Of this Rop-
resentative without nationality can be fully
established by many Of the old inhabitants Of
Adams County, Miss, as well as by many Of
his neighbors in the parish Of Terrebonne..
The theory of Governor WELLS is the
same which has been frequently and persist
entity put forth in these columns, that the
stake being played for is the control of the
United States Government and the dispen-
sation of its patronage. When the MICH
Oils government was recognized all il
claimed TO want was the State patronage,
We warned the Administration then that
this would never satisfy tho Democracy,
They would not be satisfied until they OBJ
tanned all the Federal patronage within the

them from the Federal positions they occu-
py, and thus make the triumph of the
Democratic prosecutors of Republicans
complete. 1t is fair TO presume that the
President will not for moment listen to
such proposition with the slightest favor
lie must have learned by this time that q
bargain, where no good faith on the other
side can be hoped for, is not a desirable ar
raugement. II there was an understanding,
expressed or implied, relating to the re-
moval of the troops from the Louisiana
Statc-lIouse, so that NICHOLS could usurp
the powers of the State government, II in
volvcd immunity to tho returning board
from prosecution and the bad faith exhib-
tied in that affair should teach the Presi-
ident never to treat with or trust his de-
c,ivcrs again.
The case of General ANDERSON is hard
one. lie is the victim of political malice,
and is, in fact, no more guilty of the crime
for which he is under conviction Than Presi-
dent HAYES himself The proceedings of
the court that convicted him are disgrace
TO the Judiciary Of n republican form of gov
eminent, and he might just as well, 30 far
as justice is concerned, have been plunged
in dungeon without the form of q trial as
to have been subjected to the judicial farce
that has ended in his incarceration. There
was no evidence TO convict him OF the crime
with which he was charged, and the out
rpge is without mitigation.

Bluffs, Kansas City, jefferson City, Charles
town, w. Va, Boise City, Memphis, San
Francisco, Detroit, Davenport, and Quincy,
Ill. The entire cost of these buildings, as
asked for, is s5,34O,O00, of which sum
$2,715,OOO goes to the late slavc-holding
States, and the remainder, s2,6250Oo, into
the Northern and Western States.
Our examination of the amounts paid in
these cities shows that the United States
pays So, 500 annually for rent Of the build
ings needed for the public service. The
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
by examining these figures, can easily see
what the interest Of the Government is in
relation to these buildings. II is well under.
stood that not more than one-third of the
money asked for can he expended in ono
year; in other words, that only 81, 10000
could be expended on these buildings each
year for three years, the interest on which
at four per cent, is only S77,2O0.
Thus, If the bills are all passed and the
appropriations made, less than S2,OOO,OOC
would be spent in year, and the interes,
rents now paid In three years the pay.
mcnt of the rent would be extinguished
and the Government would own buildings

THE New York Tribune seems to have
utterly lost its head in its enmity to silver.
1t is now trying to figure ont how the
Treasury may evade the law and keep the
dollars Of our daddies' from going into cir
culation after they have been restored by
law to their original position in the coin
family. 1t strikes us that the Tribune will
cease to hate and attempt to crush silver
the moment it learns that ii il found to b,
equivalent to gold coin. Tho Tribune will
probably embrace it as an old friend, and
welcome it to its Golfers as it was wont tc
do in the good old times that are past.

Boston CiviI.Seryice Reform.

The case of Collector SIMMONS, Of Boston,
brings the President to his Appomattox,
and he alone can decide whether he is to act
the part of victor or vanquished there.
Collector SIMMONS was originally APP
pointed by the influence of the radical ele-
ment of the Republican party Of Massachu-
sctts who were weary Of being governed by
little ring of respectable" gentlemen, who
were generally known as FRANK BIRDS
dinner clique" These gentlemen met once
week at Young's, dined, wined, and then
decided who should be Governor and who
the Congressional candidates of Massachu-
sets. This pleasant little arrangement
lasted for long series Of years. The revolt
against it was first led by WENDELL PHIL
Collector SIMMONS, a young and able po-
litical organizer, was one of the most potent
forces of the revolt. Senator HoAR and his
brother, the Judge the famous office-seeker),
were the most conspicuous represento tives
of the "kid-glovc ring"
General BUTLER secured the appointment
and confirmation of SIMMONS. 1t was the
first crushing defeat of that respectable"
clique that had so mismanaged the Repub-
licsn party that from having sure major
ty of over seventy thousand Democratic
candidate at last swept the field
Mr.. SIMMONS proved an efficient officer.
He was the very first IMAM of the people
that had ever held the Office. He reformed
countless abuses; he recognized the work
ing forces and he put the custom house for
the first time on "a business basis" At the
beginning of his administration the old
merchants Of Boston were very hostile to
him; but when he made revolution in the
established routine so great that business
was transactedw a promptness undreaiRtd
of before his time, they soon became his
personal and political friends. And now
not prominent merchant in Boston desires
his removal. He is the most popular col.
lcctor that ever held the office.
Secretary BRIsTOw, the model "civl-ser.
vice" candidate, declared in official commiii.
nications that Collector SIMMONS was the
best officer of his rank in the whole coun.
try. When President HAYES decrecd that
