LEN-RossER scandal that the reading public

settled down to the belcfthat the worst has
not yet been told. The better way for all
the parties interested, and especially the
friends Of the lady whose name has been so
unfortunately mixed up with the affair,
would be to make clean breast of all the
circumstances. Mr.. ACKLEN's denial and
the clustering and unauthorized talk about
duel between him and General RossER do
not serve to remove the stain which will
attach to the already disgraceful reputation
of our dearly;beloved Democratic House, IL
this matter is not thoroughly investigated
and the party charged with the indecent as
sault either vindicated or punished Mr.
ACKLES should, at least, demand such an
investigation, and further, he should repu-
diate the boastful, bullying talk Of his
friends (r) hereabouts who advise him TO
another violation of the law by resorting to
the duello. Altogether he stands, as law
maker in very unpleasant attitude. First,
he holds his scat in the House by virtue of
partisan frauds and the biased decision OF
a partisan majority second, he stands ac-
cused Of an indecent and violent attempt at
an unmanly and horrible outrage; and third,
he is urged to embark in further violation
of the laws of humanity, Christianity, and
his country by seeking exculpation through
the blood of a man whose only crime in this

The accepted and duly-accredited organ
of the National Asylum for the Insane
seems to think that "the Democratic party
is responsible for ACKLES's concupis-
"cence." At any rate, it manufactures a
charge against the Democracy to that effect,
and simply replies to it with the exclama-
ton, This is hard" Since the lunatic-as-
sassin, CONWAY, espoused, as it were, the
Democratic organ, and indorscd it as q bet
ter newspaper than the Star, there his been
a decided change for the better in its col
umns, the idea of the improvement being
no doubt, TO make it still more acceptable
to its new and congenial constituency. But
there is no evidence of insanity in this ad-
mission of Democratic responsibility for
ACKLES's indiscretions, which were, after
all, in keeping with the drunkenness, the
imbecility, and the general recklessness, not
to say corruption, which illustrated the clos
ing hours of the late session of the House.

Is GENERAL BOYNToN's testimony re-
garding his interview with President
HAYES, during which the appointment of
ANDERSON to be consul was discussed, he
distinctly announced that he did not pro-
pose to make any answer that would re-
" fleet upon the President Of the United
States" What the witness intended to
say was no doubt, that he didn't propose to
allow his cross-examiner to lead him into
the use of expressions at variance with the
facts in the case which could be twisted or
construed as reflection upon the Presi-
dent. This was all very well, but it never
theless appears from his testimony that
ASDERsoN's appointment had been OBJ
tanned "a the result Of his partisan useful
ness. The recommendation Of the Presi-
dent that ANDERSON should be provided
for with warm" place is to be accepted
as further proof that the appointment was
in the nature Of a political reward. And
there was nothing wrong in it, when all
the circumstances are considered. II ap-
peared at that time that ANDERSON was q
deserving person, who had suffered much
for his devotion to principle, and it was in
the nature Of things that he should be re-
warded for that suffering As soon, how
ever, as 1t was discovered that ANDERSON
was disreputable person and scheming
plotter, the President withdrew his appoint
ment. That is all there is of it, and all
that the friends of the Administration
should offer In ernlanafi finn or extanno tinn
of the Presidents course. But they have
begged the question; hence these tears and
this dose Of POTTER BUTLER mud-slinging.

The People's vindicator. [volume] (Natchitoches, La.) 1874-1883, 1878-05-25

Goode stated the fact that he had
given notice to Mr.. Loring Of tcrmi-
nation of pair, and that under the
circumstances he felt it his duty to
vote, a sneering remark that "it was
simply a question of HONOR" was
made by Conger, Of Michigan. Goode
retorted with a strong feeling of in
dignation that he would take CAFE of
his own honor, and that if Conger as
sailed it he (Goode) would hold him
to a personal responsibility.
The response was londly applanded
on the Democratic side and was re-
ceived with jeers and contemptuous
laughter on the Republican side,
Conger remarking sarcastically that
Goodies threat was making him trem-
bic ia his boots.
Goodies remark was objected to by
Hale, of Maine, az being unparlia-
mentary, but the speaker decided that
the first offence had been given by Con-
ger, and that it would he as reason
able to expect child not to hollow
when struck as to expect a man not
to resent an insult. The speak
er's ruling gave intense satisfaction to
the Democratic side and correspond
ing displeasure to the Republicans.
Mr.. Potter, of New York, will be
chairman of the select committee. 1t
is understood that as soon as posi-
bic after its organization, sub com.
mittees will be appointed and will
proceed to Florida and Louisiana. 1t
is expected Springer, Of Illinois, will
be a member of the committee and
probably chairman of the Florida
sub committee. 1t is probable the
Republicans will tomorrow offer a
resolution to extend the estigation
to Oregon, Mississippi, South Caro-
lima, and other States.

Morgan's Railroad.

General Sypher argued at great
length before the Senate Committee,
on public lands as to the matter Of
reliefo Morgan's Louisiana ant: Texas
railroad. He claimed the road had re-
ceived no~bepeft from the land grant
made by Congress in 1856, and the
lists made ready by the Government
were erroneous. All lands adjacent
to eighty miles of constructed road,
between New Orleans and Morgau's
City, were swamp lands and Injured
to the State under swamp land grant
of l649. The railroad was finished to
Morgan City 10 1857 before the lands
under the grant ofl856 we're available,
that the road cannot be held as a land
grant road, and the Government 10
obligated in law and equity to pay
transportation for Government troops
and property, and the Supreme Court
he's so decided in several cases.

Order Of Burglars.
New Orleans Democrat,

The papers, some days ago. pub
lished a curious story of the arrest in
Scotland of a number of yourg boys
who had banded themselves together
in league entitled "I'hc lnitct( Or
der of Burglars" They had hrea
carried away Ivy the wild, wcir''s'"
ries of highwaymcn they had lia,l in
the various boys pictulials and had
determined on life Of crime. They
went about it in an extremely rrar
tical and business like manner \
regular contact, it was found, had
been drawn up: by which all 'I'
members of the order pledged them
selves to a life of burglary and high
way robbery books we've provided,
in which full accounts of the opera
tons of the gang wcrc kept, each
member being credited with the
money or goods stolen by him.
The story told by Major Jones,
commender of the Texas Rangers,
who has just been investigating tho
late mail robberles in Northern Texas,
is almost as strange as that of tho
"Order Of Burglars Mainr Jones
has discovered the men engaged in
these robbe,ies to be Bass, Spots
wood, Jackson, Barnes, Johnson, Tn
derwood, Pipes and lIcrnlon. Bass
is really the chief and leader in the
enterprise, the others being mere en-
ployees of his. Having amas>cdp quito
a large sum Of money by bis former
robberies, Bass seems to have con-
ceived the idea of going into tn" train
robbery business on the wholesale.
He accordingly engaged the other
men for this business paying them
regular salaries, and paying as we'll
all the other expenses of the enter
prise, lie taking in return all the
chances and the swag. In fine, he
went into these lobberics in IL most
business like way, supplying all tho
necessary capital and employing quite
a number of men in it.
Major Jones thinks that Bass is an
old hand at the business, and a'tri-
butes to him the robbery Of the Fort
Worth stage last year. The rangers
have pretty we'll probcd the mystery
of these train robberies, and have al
ready arrested four of the principals
aud i've Of the accessories engaged in
them. They hope to secnre the whole
gang in very short while. 81.

Collapse Of the Detroit Scandal.
From Cleveland Leader.)

The reaction in public sentiment at
Detroit over the McC oskry scandal is
complete and overwhelming. 1t is
now known that the letter upon which
the charge against the venerable Bish.
op were based are of two classes, the
real and the forged ones. The first
class includes four, which are now in
the safe of the First National Bank in
that City. They are said by cor
respondent who has seen them to be
"letters such as any Christian gentle
man, especially a clergyman, might
write to a young female ward-letters
of advice, counsel and instruction."
The indecent letters, on the other
hand, are plainly tho work of another
hand. They bear no signature except
a hieroglypiic cipher, and their lang
uage is coarse, misspe(led and vulgar,
as different as possible from the chaste,
scholarly manuscript Of the Bishop,
az shown in the genuine letters. An
other fact is of great weight as point
ing out the real author of the scandal.
Mcconnell, the printer who processes
to have stolen the letters from Fannie
Richards while counting her, has a
certain aptness in drawing. The forg.
ed letters are interlarded with indie
cent drawings 10 pen and pencil, just
such sketcher as Mcconnell has been
frequently known to make, but which
Bishop McCoskry could not make if
he had wished to. All this, with the
prompt aud honestly indignant denial
of Mrs. Bennister and cCoskry, ought
it would seem, to constitute an i'm.
pregnatable case, without further ex-
animation or trial. The obvious fact
is that lowbred, sour. minded villain
stole a few harmless letters from a girl
whom be was counting, wrote some
other ones and made up a prurient
sensation for the dirty newspaper
market. He offered his filth to the
Nev York Herald and other papers,
but could fud no purchaser until
he encountered the Chicago Times.
How much that journal paid for this
last privilege Of making fool Of it.
self and spreading a reeking l;eble, no
one probably except the parties to the
bargains knows or cares. The Times
account made it appear that its cores
pendant, sent 0stensibly from Chi
cago, had seen the letter on which the
story was based. II they did so and
are men of even average intelligence
they must have seen that the indecent
letters were forgeries-at least writ.
ten in different handwriting from
from the others. If they saw this they
must have walked into the enterprise
consciously and with open eyes. If
not, there should be some means Of
teaching them aud Mr.. Storey better
discretion. Here would seem to he a
case in which to test the question
whether man or woman of blame
less life has or has not any protector
against the class Of newspapers which
deliberately and wantonly prey upon
private character.
