1t Is it's mission to expose and punish 1t. Nor
can Mr.. Tilden be averse to an Investigation,
If he Is innocent, as he has so explicitly and
frankly averred. It Is in his interest that the
forgeries should be proved II the dispatches
are forgeries; il they are genuine, still it Is
to his advantage that the investigation should
be made as he says that he knows nothing
whatever Of them, and would thus be enabled
to establish the statement in an unmistakable
manner. But whether the investigation
would implicate Mr.. Tilden, Or vindicate him.

truth of the matter SO industriously circulated
and benefioially applied by the Radical party
in the campaign just ended. That demand

cannot even appear to condone fraud by a re-
fusal to do this. Let an investigation be Or
dered at once, and let Mr.. Whitelaw Reid be
given an opportunity to substantiate his
charges under oath. Coming. as they do,
from the venal organ Of Jay Gould, the public
Is not disposed to accept them as true without

throats. under the leadership Of such brute,
to interfere with the freedom OF elections,
and to intimidate free American citizens.
In the face of Dog Merrill and his troops,
the people carried the election In the Red
river valley by an overwhelming majority,
and Merrill sullenIy Withdrew carrying with
him as the only trophy he had won with MS
bayonets, from citizens Of Louisiana armed
with the ballot and a spirit to defend it, the
euphonious title of "Dog Merrill the Vulture
OF the Army"
Now then, we invite the Collector, the Mar
shall and the District Attorney to proceed with
the prosecutions; our ears are keenly anu
eagerly listening for the blast Of their war
trumpet. II this Invitation Is not sufficient
and they need more encouragement, we warn
them that unless they move forward brlskly,
off will go their heads. Their masters are in
no temper for delay. They must persecute to
the full extent Of their power and ability, and
if that power and ability are insufficient, let
them see to It that they throw into their
work sufficient fury and malevolence to make
themselves secure In Washington
There is O. tendency amongst our people to
divide into two parties, and we do not wish to
see that yet AS we have remarked, we are
for solid Louisiana; hence we hope to see the
Custom House trio proceed with theirpersecu-
tions and we sincerely hope they will emu

The merchants OF Caldwell parish have dis

Herald says, because 1t will be dangerous 10

uary. We would like to hear who pronounces
it dangerous to use goods from this City
The doctors are divided ON many points OF
yellow fever; there are O thousand theories
held by them on almost every point OF this
disease, but on this one point at least, that
there is no danger from goods shipped now
from New Orleans, there Is no division Of SEN
timent among them. OF course, it is difficult
to discuss this question, because many per-
sons will think New Orleans preiudiced In
this case from Interested motives. Let the
people In the country dependent on this city
submit the question to disinterested persons,
and follow their advice. It is to be hoped that
there will be al end of those wild Ideas about
the fever that were so freely circulated dur
ing the epidemic. This whole question must
be tested and investigated In q thorough and
sensible manner. These wild frights and ab-
surd stories do fully as much harm as false
hood and carelessness on the other side The
devastation of the late epidemic has convinced
the country that the injuries of yellow fever
must all be made known. The Yellow Fever
Commission has decided the Mobile quaran-
tine absurd and unnecessary, while the
doctors are unanimous against the theory
Of the transmission Of the fever by letter or in
merchandise after g frost. To circulate
stories to the contrary is as preindicial to the
investigation now being made into this dis
ease, as to deny It's importablity and it's trans
mission by person and clothing during the
prevalence of the epidemic. Let us have the
truth on this subject, and cry down all those
who through motives Of interest and gain,
knowingly circulate false stories and theories

Radical papers are loudly applauding the
decision of the Supreme Court of Florlda that
the votes In the late election should be can
vassed as cast thus eleotng the Republican
candidate In the Second District. In 1876 the
same Supreme Court declared that the votes
for President should be counted as COST. thus
giving the State to Mr., Tilden by small ma
iority. Then these same papers denounced
the court for interfering with the Returning
BOARD and sustained the fraudulent declara-
lion Of that body that the State went for
Hayes. This change OF front seems 10 require
some exclamation.

The Democrats in the State Legislature OF
Alabama have been canvassing for q week
over the Senatorship to be vacated by the
carpet-bagger Spencer on the fourth Of March
next. Gov Houston is the leading candidate,
having within few votes OF a majority over
all the others. The two-thirds rule prevails,
and it is now unlikely that any OF the presenV
candidates will secure the caucus nomination,
which Is equivalent to an election. The con-
test Is an earnest one, and it is probable that
the necessary two-thirds can only be secured
by bringing In some new man.

Minnesota owes millions OF dollars OF rail-
road bonds. and these she Is desirous OF
getting back cheap. 1t became evident some
time ago that the holders Of these bonds
would never get paid in full for them. This
the bondholders readily admitted. and
agreed to submit a proposition to the
people to fund their bonds at fifty cents
on the dollar A vote was taken on this ques-
tion in 1876 and showed q majority OF three
fourths of the entire voting population OF the
State against the proposition. This year a
second arrangement was submitted to the
people of Minnesota, by which the bond
holders were to get thirty cents on tho dollar,
but this also was voted down by an immense
majority. The people of Minnesota are will
ing to compromise, but they want to compro
mise at cheap rates, say five cents on the
dollar. In the meanwhile, they havo the

The virtuous Indignation displayed against
governmental subsidies by the beneflclarles
of the Union and Central Pacific Rail
roads is truly refreshing. After having
secured $54 100000 of bonds and 53.ooo,oOo
acres of land for their roads, great
o,,tcrv is now made against government
aid to the Southern Pacific Road. The cause
of this Is transparent. It is not for fear OF
"a raid on the treasury that the opposition
to subsidies is now 50 bitter. Commercial in
terests, and not patriotic motives. are the
ca,,se, The Southern Pacific Railroad would
divert business from the Northern Pacific
lines and their connections, and, to that ex-
tent, hurt the sections through which they
pass. Hence the ardent cry to close the
treasury doors.

The stalwart organs have been loud in de-
manding that the cipher dispatches should be
investigated. To this the DEMOCRAT re-
sponds with q hearty amen. Tt is not only
due to the country at large, but to the Demo
cratic party and Mr.. Tilden that the dis
patches published by the Tribune should be
judicially tested If they are genuine, the
people should know it, II they are forgerles,
the fact should be exposed. It is surely not
the intention of the Democratic party to cover

A DelaWarean Killed.

Mr.. John A. Aspinall, of Escanaba,
Delta county, Michigan, writes to the
editor Of the GAZETTE under date of
Nov. 9th, As follows:
81 am sorry TO inform you that Mr..
William Murphy, subscriber to your
paper, was run over by "A locomotive, on
Sunday last, Nov. 80, and died imme-
diately afterwards. He was buried by
the Masonic fraternity, ihe being menu
per ofthat order. There is nothing about
his effects that will give us any clue to
the whereabouts of any of his relatives,
and knowing that he claimed Delaware
AZ his home, we thought you might bs
able 10 assist us in communicating with
his friends, or relatives, if there are any
living"
A diligent inquiry by a GAZETTE re-
porter this morning, among a number of
members of the Murphy family of this
city, failed to reveal any knowledge of
the man alluded to in the above letter.
He is generally supposed to have come
from either Brandywine Hundred or the
vicinity of Smyrna.
