If the Louisiana liars ever by any accident
tell the truth, it is probably when they are
abusing each other Here is a legitimate sue
cessor to Anderson and Weber, who Is no
less picturesque in his language and sublime
in his impudence, but who nevertheless, talks
about Anderson in way that must convince
even the casual observer that the new
witness is subject to occasional attacks OF
veracity. Anderson was "a fellow Mr.. Leet
"never took much stock in" he was ian
"adventurer; he was ga sharp little rascal"
said Kellogg, and Mr. Leet seems to have
concurred; he was ga great nuisance" in
Louisiana politics; there was general desire
that he should go to Feliciana, and Governor
Kellogg and other people said they hoped
she would be killedp Which is the most en-
phatic testimony to Anderson's obnoxious
qualities that we have seen.

The progress of the negro IN the Northern
States is traced in an interesting paper given
on another page. The writer selects the
negro populations of Ohio, Indiana, Missouri,
and the City of Washington as different types,
and shows the approach of each toward an
eqnality IN intelligence with the whites. The
Indiana colony seems to have made cOmpara-
lively the best record, and the most Teasona-
bic inference, from the facts presented, is
against the policy of isolating the colored
race.
The important bill which Prince Bismarck
and his immediate advisers have submitted
to the German Federal Council makes open
war on Socialism. Il renders imperial author
ity supreme IN dealing with all disloyal plots,
and creates National Bureau, invested with
aut0cratic powers IN questions concerning the
freedom of the press and public meetings.
Judged by the telegraphic abstract, the measure
is one to which no free people would submit,
and is much more stringent than the bill
which the last German Parliament promptly
rejected. The intense earnestness with which
the scheme will be supported and opposed
promises to render German politics uncom-
monty lively for some time.
Ex-COngressman DarTall Is an exceedingly
cautious person. Writing to the hero of the

HOW THE FLORIDA FRAUDS
WERE PERPETRATED
Confession OF Judge s. Il. McLin.

Judge Samuel b. McLin has made
full statement of the frauds prac'
ticed by the Returning Board OF
Florida, of which he was a member
Below we give an extract of his state
ment, which all intelligent voters
should read. We are sorry our space
will not permit us to publish the con
fession in full:
If the board acted in accordance
with the decision of the Supreme
Court of the States defending the pow
ers and duties of the board In refer,
cnce to throwing out precints, since
rendered, there is no question of the
fact that Tilden would have been en-
titled TO the vote of Florida, excluding
the returns from Baker county, which
were counted, and which, | have since
learned from the parties who made it,
were falsely manufactured returns,
and including the true return which
corresponded with the precinct returns
of that county, would certainly have
given the State to Tilden. Archer
precinct No 9, Alachua county, was
included in the count The fraud
committed in this precinct, was not
shown to the board by the Democratic
lawyers, although the contest was
made, and much attention given this
precinct, and l have recently learned
from the Republican leaders Of that
county, that after the returns had been
brought to Gainesville, the county
seat, 2l9 votes were added to the re-
turns by the inspector and clerk of
said precinct. In Leon county, IA
Republican ballots were stuffed into
the box at precinct No. 9, yet it was
made to appear, even to the satisfac-
ton of the Democratic member of the
board, that these were not false bal
lots. Subsequent confession shows
that they were stuffed in the box. |
saw Joseph Bowers, one the inspect
ors, have tickets similar to them few
days before the election, and caution
ed him against their use, and | after
wards learned that he had given them
up. In Jefferson county, in certain
precinct at which Mr.. j. Bell was in
spector, 100 votes were surrcptitiously
added to the ballots and counted. No
charge was made as to this fact before
the board. The confession of. Bell,
since made to me, discloses the fact
that had the 2I9 votes fraudulently
added to the Archer return, and the
"a votes stuffed in the box in Cox, in
Leon county, and the 100 votes sur
reptitiously added in Jefferson county,
aggregating 1893 votes, been rejected,
and the Democratic rejected precincts
which were excluded for irregularity
and illegal votes, contrary to the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court, had been
retained and counted Mr.. Tilden
would have carried the State. The
conclusion therein is irresistible that
Tilden was entitled to the electoral
vote, and not Hayes. =
Whatever may be the opinion of
men with regard to my motives, l give
these facts and leaye my motives to a
higher tribunal.

Home Missions.

To the Pastors and Churches of the
Goshen Baptist associations
Dear Brethren-By reference to
page 6 of the Minutes of last Associa-
ton, you will be reminded that May,
1878, is the time set apart by the As
ISOLATION to remember the American
Baptist Home Mission Society in our
contributions and prayers. When
the report comes up from each church
to the next Association let it then be
shown that we did not forget our
vows and promises made before God
and men to this glorious cause.
In making your annual offering,
consider the following facts;
LIST. 'North America for Christ" is
the motto of thisSociety.
ID. One hundNN and seventy five
missionaries are dependent upon this
society for support.
3D.. Missions are being sustained
among the Germans, Danes, Norwe-
gians, Swedes and French, of our i'm
migrant population.
4th. This society is sustaining sew
en- schools for the education of color
ed preachers and teachers among the
freedmen, with S4S pupils.
9Th. Missions and schools arc be-
ing sustained among the Indians and
Chinese.
With the opening of the new cent
ury of our National History this
cause commends itself anew to
churches, Sunday schools and indi-
viduals. AS is love to Christ and
country, so let the offerings be to our
beloved Home Mission Society.

What was left of civil service reform
in the brain of Mr. Hayes went up in a
balloon the other day. One of the men,
bers of the Republican Congressional
Committee visited the White House to
ask where, under the supposed rules laid
down by Mr.. Hayes, the sinews of war
for the coming election were to be Sc
cured. Mr.. Hayes told the member that
the office holders would contribute, ought
to contribute, and that he when an of
flee holder had often contributed. He
insisted only that office holders should
not be compelled to contribute by threats
of removal What this amounts to any
one can tell who knows anything of of
fice>holding. With this language of
Mr.. Hayes before them they will also
have paper going through each Bureau
of the various Departments in something
like this form: ''The undersigned agree
to pay to the Republican Congressional
Committee, for use in the Fall elections,
ten per cent. of our salaries for the
months of May, June, July, August and
September, 1873" The paper, let US say
for the Tenth Auditors office, is signed
first by ] Smith, Auditor; next by Jones,
Deputy AUDITOR next by Robson, Chief
Clerk; then by the heads of the dozen or
so Divisions in the Bureau, On each of
them the Appointment Clerk will have
little distribution. This system brings
the money. No clerk dares to refuse.
This style of business is so much more
sneaking than Zack Chandeliers open
bull>dozing that Chandler really de-
serves to rank as an honest man and a
reformer beside the powers that be. The
matter of funds being thus disposed of,
the member of the Committee expresses
the opinion that Mr. Hayes is much
misunderstood man, a good machine
politician and deserves radical support.
So we have practically an end of any
effort at reform. 1t is in order for Mr.:
Hayes TO step down and out as reform
err. By doing so-by openly using the
common Republican means of carrying
elections-he can substantially unite his
party Consuming to the use of such
means, without personally and actively
taking part, he may still do much to
harmonic the party.

assistance to the proprietors of the

The farmers are very busy blowing
and getting their ground ready for the
coming crop of corn. According to
the old Indian sign, it is now time the
corn was planted. The leaves on the
white-oak tree are as large as "squir-
rels ears"
This is surely very early spring,
and the prospects for abundant fruit
crops are very flattering at present.
Old farmers say that they don't re-
member ever seeing wheat as forward
at this time of the season. Some
wheat will be heading against the
10th of May if no bad luck. The
prospect for an abundant harvest is
very good unless the late frosts kill
it.

A correspondent of the Post who
suggests the names of Geo. c. Stur-
gias and Capt. Garrison for the Leg
.islature, makes some hard thrusts at
Capt. John B. Gray and James t.
McClaskey. This correspondent
seems to insinuate that our present
representatives are either dishonest
or wanting in ability by saying that
the people "are anxious to send some
good honest men; yet they think it
possible for man to be honest and
know something of law too" We
did not for a moment suppose that
any one would question either the in
tegrity or ability of Gray and Nc
Claskey. They are certainly honest
and their ability has been demon
strated by the distinction gained by
them last winter.

The manifest improvement in the

gold is coming into use thereby greatly
increasing the amount of money in cir

been hidden out of sight, will now be
added to the available capital of the
country. This initiation of the currency

The Bankrupt Law.

The Bankrupt law is so unpopular
in Congress, and generally all over
the country, that it is believed the
Senate bin will pass the House as
soon as it can be reached on the
Speakers table. The pressure for the
repeal Is very strong. One petition
alone from the city of New York con
tains 1920 signatures, the signers
holding that the original intent of the
law was to effect prompt and equit-
able division of the bankrupts estate
among his creditors, and to afford re
lief to honest and unfortunate debtors,
and those only, In practice, however,
they find that it does not prevent
fraudulent preferences, and the posi-
bility Of obtaining discharge with
out payment in full is a constant
temptation to dishonest persons to
contract large debts and to seek a
discharge under this act, or com
promise in part payment; and they
regret to represent that this course of
action is often facilitated by the col
fusion of creditors and dishonest at
torneys; and generally the practical
effect of the law has been to destroy
confidence on the part of capitalists
and damage the credit system. In

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The foreign situation has not mate
rally changed, but the more time that
is occupied in negotiations the strong
: er becomes the feeling that there will
be no war. The Government party in
England still insist that war is iney-
liable, and must come within the
next few weeks; while the opposition
holds that there has been no sufficient
cause for war, and that without such
a cause the Government will not dare
precipitate the struggle. In st. Pet
rersburg the war feeling which ruled
a few weeks ago has quieted down,
and the announcement of a peaceful
settlement would doubtless be well re-
sceived by all parties. Germany is
.anxious for a peaceful solution of the
trouble, and through her efforts it will
most likely be secured. Both the
fprincipals to the impending struggle,
<aS Well as most OF the other powers,
continue their preparations for war,
'but they do so with a feeling that
their efforts are merely precaution-
a9y, and will most probably prove un-
necessary. With this view the more
energetic measures have been relaxed,
and the preparations 60 on very
quietly. Altogether the situation
gather promises peace, and SO many
crises have been successfully passed
without an open rupture that people
will not now believe in the possibility
