THE RETURNING BOARD VILLAINS

The whole country is deeply interested in
the trial of the perjured scoundreis who
planned and perfected the most infamous
proceeding that ever degraded civilization,
and absolutely raised r. B. Hayes to the
digniied office of president of the Ameri
can republic by crimes so repuIsive
that every time they are mentioned the
cheeks of honest men of all parties are man
tied with shame and confusion. The SYRIA
cuse IN. Y. Courier, in discussing the SUBJ
ject, says:
turning board, which falsifed the presidential
vote of Louisiana, and cheated the American
people out of their choice for president, seems
TO be coming at last. The scOundrels driven
to bay sought refuge in the federal custom
house at New Orleans, In the expectation that
the government at Washington would as in
the days of Grant. shield them from the conse-
quences of their crimes.
The Courier however attempts to exon.
crate Hayes, and endeavors TO make the i'm
preston that the presidential fraud was not
aware of the damnable crimes that were
committed in his interest. We take no
stock in such a sentimental view of
the subject We believe, before the
matter goes much further, it will
be shown that Hayes was as thoroughly
advised of the crimes that were being con-
cocted in his interest as any of the perjured
scoundrels who lifted him into power. And
we further believe that Hayes ought
to be indicted with the rest
of the batch of conspirators who
plotted for the overthrow OF the declared
will of the American people. To steal the
presidency of the United States is crime of
such magnitude that no one connected with
1t, no matter what his POSITION may be-
should escape punishment. Indeed, the
higher the position the more certain should
be the penalties.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-02-06

THE Cincinnati Enquirer thinks it would
be a disgrace to indlct John Sherman for
completely in the election conspiracy. 1t
would certainly be great wrong to indict
him through malice, hatred or i'll will, and
without evidence, but if guilty he should be
indicted and convicted. Every considera-
ton of law and morality requires it. The
idea of allowing the coward who would
plan conspiracy to commit felony, and
engage others to carry it into execution TO
escape punishment, while the dupe that is
induced to execute the nefarious design
alone is punished, is revolving to the sense OF
justice. If guilty he should not go ''unpre-
scented through fear, favor or affection or
amy reward or the hope or promise thereof
but the indictment should present the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth" though it should reach the white
house itself

INVESTIGATIONS

1t is an omen for good to see the Journal,
in its usual kangaroo style, fall back on its
hind legs and howl at any proposition that
looks to the investigation of radical rascality.
Its comments in yesterdays issue upon
Glover's letter to Hayes exhibits it as the
apologist of radical fraud, and it would, if
it dare, recommend the use of federal
troops to protect radical thieves. The
country is advised that every department
of the government is honeycombed with
fraud. For years radical villainy has gone
forward unchecked and unrebuked. Grant
appointed thieves to Office, and Hayes retains
them in custody of the peoples money
The simple proposition now is to ascertain
as near as possible the extent of the crimes
that have been committed. The Journal
true to its instincts, would embarrass inves-
LEGATIONS and let the guilty go free. In
speaking of Glover's letter to Hayes, the
Journal says:
The writer assumed it as a "painful factv
that all departments of the government were
thoroughly corrupt, all government officials
utterly depraved, and that circumstances had
devoIved on him the duty of Investigating and
exposing all this wickedness. To this end the
great Anglo-Missourian reformer demanded of
assistance in his power to the work of reform
by promising immunity and protection to all
officers of the government who would make a
clean breast of their own crimes and tell what
they knew concerning those OF others. The
president replied TO the letter in very meek
| spirit, and Glover doubtless felt that he had
achieved triumph.
The writer" did not assume too much,
and Hayes did not dare to antagonize the
demand; as a consequence the country is
likely to hear of stealings such as it has not
hitherto dreamed possible, and it is evident
that when they are exposed the Journal will
regard it as high and solemn duty to de-
fend the thieves. The Journal is radical
thief organ. 1t is opposed to investigations
which would bring the guilty before the
country and subject them, at least, to the
penalty of the peoples scorn. Referring to
the measure designed to probe to their pro-
foundest depths the dens of radical rotten
ness, the Journal says:
This extraordinary measure Is designed to
promote investigation by congressional COM
mfttees. Some of its features are the following:
| IL authorizes any member of any committee
| to administer oaths 10 witnesses, and to pro-
| falling to appear; also, that any witness refus-
Ing TO testify shall forthwith. be placed in GUS
/ tOdy by the sergeant-at-arms, without waiting
| for the house to order his arrest, and his con-
/ tumacy shall, as soon as practicable, be re-
| POI ted to the house for its action. The bill
/ makes the refusal to testify contempt of the
| authority of either house, punishable with
/ no' more than 81 900 fine, or imprisonment not
| more than one year, or both, at the discretion
empowered to examine witnesses in secret,
and to impose secrecy on the witnesses them
| selves.
This does look as though the democrats
