THE ANDERSON CASE.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.-This morninp
when the motion for new trial in the An
derson case came up the defense filed addi-
tional grounds that the accused could prove
by Littletield that he never had any connec-
ton whatever with the forging and utter
ing of forged returns to which fact Little
field had already testified before the Con-
gressiOnal Committee in Washington. That
Littletield, ,after Ayres absence, had returned
and hidden hims until after the evidence
had closed and the argument opened. there
by depriving the accused of his testimony.
The accused can also prove by Colonel Zach
arie. Democrat, that he was not present
at the opening of the returns from Vernon
parish. That the Democratic clerks often
made errors in the returns for which could
also have been made criminal charges, and
the incorrectness of the Returning Board
proceedings by Collins, the stenographer.
were often referred to during the proceed
ings. The motion was continued until next
Friday.

HsYPTOy And TWEED.

Everybody remembers the ludicrous election
fraud committed in Tweeds district towaro
the close of his reign, when at oh'
pollpg-place his over-zealOus followers
stuffed more Democratic votes into the
box than there were men. women ana
children IN the district. Our Washington DIS
patches contain this morning the story o'
frauds even more extraordinary, committed,
however, not in the slums of Newly ork ana
for the benefit OF vulgar thief, but III the
chief city Of South Carolina and for the per-
sonal and political advantage OF wade
Hampton.
IL is the victim of the fraud who tells the
story-ex- Congressman Mackey, who was a
candidate for his former seat at the late cleo
ton. His charges are not general, Dut
specific, and they are so serious that IL
is difficult to believe that they are
recklcssly made. The first charge alone
is sufficient ground for strong presumption
of fraud: the Democrats everywhere refused
to allow the Republicans representa- ION
among the election officers, and, i'll many
cases, maltreated the Federal Supervisors
whose appointment they could not prevent
With wise iorethought, too, the Legislature
HAL HDOllSUcu NdIIOuH NAIOugll lNNPN'iie"H p'
ing-placcs, and when the DISTINGUISHED voters
offered their ballots at the nearest polling
place, they we've reiected-Democratic gains
all of these. AT least 1000 cOlorcd voters,
Mr.. Mackey declares, were rejected arbitrarily
more Democratic gains. 1t was III the
ballot box stuiiing, however, that the chlyalry
of South Carolina showed proficiency from
which the old New York Ring might have taken
a lesson. The tickets intended to be lIaildu-
lently voted were made One-iifth OF the ordl-
nary size, and printed on tissue paper thus
enabling great number to be packed within
a small compass. No less than 300 OF these
were stuffed into one ballOt-bOX, raising the
vote to figure which could only have
been honestly reached if one vote had
been received every five seconds for twelve
hours an utter impOsslbihty. When votes
were to be thrown out, the full-slzcd Repub-
lican ballots were easily picked out and re-
icctcd. Altogether, the throwing out ana the
throwing in were 50 energetlcally done
that although Alr. Mackey, 80 he asserts,
had a majority of several thousand votes,
the Democratic majority in Charleston was
larger than the whole Democratic vote ana
in twenty out of the thnty-two polImg-places
there were more votes than there were names
on the lists. This was "sCcing Tweed ana
going nineteen better
Now Mr. Mackcy makes these charges
over his own signature. If they are
false he can he held responsible for them.
The Democrats Of South Carolina must meet
them. If they are not met and satisfactorily
explained, Wade Hampton will be held to the
same responsibility that Tweed was, for frauds
committed in his interest and in his name.
