would have done this, or that they could
have been procured to do 1t, was doubt
less well known, since, by strange
coincidence Shellabarger, John Sherman's
attorney, had also been the attorney
OF the Returning Board and one OF the few
witnesses Of its infamous proceedings. His
coadjutor here, John Ray, was another of the
chosen few who helped to manipulate the
whole business, and who, alone, possess q
full knowledge OF all the secrets OF the great
iniuuity. What must we think, then, OF the
folly of this persistence 1t seems to be but
another phase of that fatalism which inevita-
bly, guides the feet Of the murderer back to
the scene of his crime.
But, complain the Republican papers Of
the North, these witnesses have been cor
rupted and the subcommittee knows that 1t
is listening to perjury in taking the recanta-
lions of these witnesses Very well, we are
perfectly willing to accept that statement as
gospel. The last thief OF them has been
bought, and can be bought and sold again, to
swear and recant to the end of the world.
There is not one of them that has conscience
which is not as flexible as anindia rubber gin
band. Of course they are periurers, profession
al harlots of perjury-they lie like dogs and
always did do so. In fact, thereis not on top OF
dirt more infamous and scandalous crew,
and their degradation Is a rule, which unlike
all other rules is positively without single
exception. Let these indignant Republican
papers have 1t all their own way, and what
conclusion do they bring us to, force us to al
most against our will? Simply this-these are
the witnesses upon Dhose testimony IFtden's
election ovas set aside, and upon 1chtch Hayes
title absolutely rests II they find consola-
ton in this fact, let them enjoy it. There is
nothing to sustain Hayes title but the cred
biIity of these witnesses. II their character
as witnesses is helped by proving that they
were bribed to recant, then Hayes may not
be fraud.
The only mistake of the committee was in
Mr.. Potter's not taking our word for it and
acceding to Sherman's demand at the outset.
But no. the committee had its doubts, and
we must confess that it was hard, even for q
Congressman to realize the infamy Of which
John Sherman's t.suborned witnesses were
capable. But they have come down here and
seen for themselves, and, after testing the
matter thoroughly, they confess that our es'
innate was the correct one and they have
given John Sherman all the rope he wanted
to hang himself with. This is what should
have been done at first, but we hardly think
| it is too late for a hanging yet

SHERMAN'S POINT.

John Sherman is left in a very delicate sit
uation by the reply of Mr.. Stenger to his
counsel, John Ray, informing that gentleman
that he can summon all the witnesses Sher-
man has asked for, and more besides, il he
desires, to substantiate any fact or set Of
facts Sherman may deem necessary to his
vindcation. The only point John Sherman
has made against the investigation, for he
has made none for himself, was its one-sided-
ness-it was organized to convict, and he
must allow it to do SO, and then appeal to the
sense Of justice Of the country. But MI
Sherman carries his point, and Mr.. Stenger
formally notifies him that the investigation
will be given the scope he contends for.
Everything Sherman has asked Is conceded
and he ought to be happy. Now that he has
everything his own way, his vindication
should be an easy matter. There are ninety
three witnesses to substantiate everything he
had claimed in regard to the Louisiana elec
lions. Call these and let them tell their
stories, and the treason of Anderson will be
forgotten in the woes of these witnesses, anC
the nation will have no time to do aught elst
besides wiping its weeping eyes. But what il
the result? Mr.. Sherman's counsel announc'
that they had not expected his demand to b.
complied with and had determined or
another line of defense, and, therefore
must consult before availing themselves
of the committees concession. 1t mus
be borne in mind that, previous to this CORE
spondence, some thirty odd of these sam
ninety-three witnesses had already been ex
| amined by the committee, and had developeC
an exceptional and universal depravity tina
well might deter Mr.. Sherman from calling
the rest of them to the stand without having
a previous understanding with each individual
of them.
The result, then, is merely to depriv
Sherman of all his thunder, and leave hin
no capital on which to write letters to MI
Potter for the purpose of manufacturing
spurious sentiment in his behalf. Here
in lay his only hope, and it
astounding that his counsel SHOULD
have pressed upon the committee the dc
mand made on Mr.. Potter, and to which b
| refused to accede. This is all the more incom
prehensible, coming as it did after score c
these witnesses, and these the victims OF tn
| most diabolical outrages detailed in Sher
mans report to the Senate, had already swor
that they did not know what they wer
swearing to, or that they had been bribed t
periure themselves. That these witnesse

Of that institution. Mr.. Hernandez also stated
that Dr. LAUDER, who attended Elliott before
his removal to the hospital, also stated In the
presence of several members of the Board Of
Health that Elliott did not have yellow fever.
Mr.. Hernandez feels that greatiniustice has
been done him by the publication OF the ar
ticle, and said that while, II the publication
had been made at another time, he should not
have noticed it, he felt that being published
just now, when there was fever panic, 1t was
calculated to do him great injury, which he
was obliged to take steps to counterfeit, and
he now has the official certificates above men,
toned at his Office, where he will be pleased
to exhibit them to all who may feel interested
and thereby prove to their full satisfaction,
that the Souder did not bring the fever into
our midst.

GREAT JACKSON ROUTE.
THE QUICKEST TIME EAST,

This line Is now making the quickest time
to New York ever known, leaving New Or
leans daily at 5 as p. m. and arriving at New
York at 6 :95 q. m. Allowing for the difference
in time between the two cities, the run is
made in the unprecedented time of fifty-nine
and three quarter hours. This quick time
is made only by the Great Jackson route,
and is the result OF its enterprise in rebuild
ing its track at great expense with steel rails.
Only one change of cars, which is made at
Columbus, o., where breakfast is taken in the
splendid dining hall at that place at 2. m;
Boston, arriving at 40 p. m. Actual running
time, sixty-seven and One-half hours. The
time to all intermediate points is correspond
best route to all the Northern and Eastern cities.
Excursion tickets to Waukesha, Oconomo-
voc and all the Northwestern summer re-
sorts, to Niagara Falls, Put-in-Bay, etc, are
on sale at the lowest rates, with the quickest
time made by any line and only one change
of cars.

On reading the "local' published in yester-
days Picayauae headed Checking the Fever, -
and containing the statement of Dr. Austin's
belief that the disease was introduced into the
city by the Emily B. Souder, OF the New Or
leans Florida and Havana line, DEMO
GRAFT reporter called on her agent, MIR. +. Her
nandez, and mentioning the matter obtained
the following statement:
The Souder arrived here on the twenty third
of May, over two months instead of "four or
five weeks" ago. The purser died Of remit
tent" not yellow fever, on the twenty-tifth,
two days after the official arrival of the YES
sci, as shown by the Board of Health certif-
cate, signed by DR.. E. s. Drew as attendant
physician; besides which, he (the purser) had
frequently said before taken sick that he had
had yellow fever three years ago in Vera
Cruz.
Elliott, the assistant engineer, who died on

The city of Marseilles lately passed through
riot, very similar to that which occurred at
Montreal on Boyne day, July u, but far more
disgraceful to the authorities of the town.
century and a half ago the plague visited
MarseilIes and ravaged that city. Bishop
Belzunce, Bishop of Marseiles at the time,
distinguished himself in his devotion to his
flock In this epidemic and saved hundreds of
lives. In the midst of the epidemic he
pledged himself to make each year visit on
foot to every church in MarseiIles and hang
floral offerings on the affairs If the plague
should cease
The Bishop is one of the historical heroes
of Marseilles. statue was erected to his
memory, and his pledge is kept even to this
day by devout thousands, who visit the
churches every year with floral offerings.
A few weeks ago the mayor prohibited this
Belzunce procession this year. A large num-
Der of persons, Professionals as well as Cath
olics, appealed to him to withdraw this
prohibition; but were peremptorily refused.
Several persons, however, visited Bishop
Belzunces statue on the day fixed for the
procession and hung wreaths thereon. These
we're torn away by an angry mob, which
SnOuLSu, DOWu Will Il6 pLitobS bLlu ii
general scuftiing and riOting ensued. The
mob became still more violent with its sue
cess, and marched over the town beating
priests, forced their way into church, and
created several riots, in which a number Of
persons were hurt.
The whole affair was digraceful in the ex-
IRENE, and wholly without reason or justifiCa-
ton. The celebration in honor Of Bishop Bel
zunce was one that could offend no one, and it is
difficult to see what the mob objected to in it.
Professions are growing more and more i'm
possible in most cities. No matter what fe-
licitous event they commemorate they seem
to cause prejudice and rioting. It is usual for
visitors to New Orleans to ridicule the ten
dency of our people to turn out in professions.
We can boast in the matter that any class OF
people can turn out in New Orleans in honor
of any event without producing riot or dis
turbance which seems altogether impossible
in Montreal, Marseilles or New York.

The PicaytR,e contains long communica-
ton in favor of the amendments and against
the convention but we notice it contains not
q word in regard to the judiciary amend
ments. What does the Pic s correspondent
propose to do with these? There can be no
question of the necessity of amending the
court system of the State, and these amend
ments must be voted upon, one way or the
other. II they make matters worse, as II
is clearly the case they will do, they should
be beaten, and then we must go on under the
present inefficient system until the next gen.
eral election and take our chances on another
ill-advised and unsatisfactory set probably
no better than these. Is it not better to cal
q convention at once and be rid Of the trou
bile? We think so, emphatically.

In New York the ice dealers have put up
the price Of ice; but how does this increase
compare with that which the dealers are at
tempting here New York manufactures no
ice, uses only natural ice. The past winter
not being cold, there is a scarcity of this ice
in the city, and what there is is Of brittle
and inferior quality. The warm weather,
moreover, has increased the demand for ice,
and the amount sold daily is 50 per cent
higher than last year. With all these cir
cumstances favoring them-a small supply
and an increased demand-the New York
dealers have put up the price of ice only 10
per cent over that Of last year. Sell ten
pounds for five CENTS or ton, retail, for So.
Notwithstanding this small increase, they
are making more money than for years past,
and the ice business of New York is now one
OF the most profitable in that city. The bust
ness is so largely increased over that OF last

The news from st. Landry in reference to a
constitutional convention is most encour-
aging. Nowhere else has the contest over
this question been more squarely made. In
other parishes there was but little division Of
public sentiment on this point; everybody
wanted new constitution; but in ST.
Landry there was large body Of Office
holders with their supporters and friends
who opposed this measure strenuously, and
an earnest contest was the result.
few days ago delegates were elected to
the parish convention to meet next Monday,
and which selects the delegates to the State
Convention. In this election, as far as
known, the constitutional convention ticket
was uniformly successful. In Opelousas, the
populous district in the parish, they elected
10 out of 16 delegates, while in Washington
they elected their whole ticket. Reports
from other sections Of the parish are most
favorable, and leave little doubt that the dele
gates who favor constitutional convention
will control the parish convention, send the
proper kind of delegates to Baton Rouge
and nominate Senator and four Representa-
tives who will vote in the next Legislature
for a convention at once.

it will be hard indeed on Charlie Foster IL ne

to Congress at all. All the Republican papers
In Ohio have been engaged in trying to per-
suade him that he was not obliged, under the
constitution, to reside in the Toledo district in
order to represent it in Congress. But, after
due elaboration, he has concluded to make
the canvass in his own district, and that
means absolute defeat. 1t was "gerryman-

Mississippi met at Greenville the other day
to decide on the tax to be levied for the repair
and construction Of the leyees. This tax was
finally fixed at one-half cent on cotton and all

Mississippi district therefore pays higher
tax to keep its levees in order than any North
ern State pays for all the expenses of govern
ment The people Of Tennessee and Virginia

this tax for levees alone. Every bale OF cot
