N'shNHT D"hf ~ - to
shieid the Members Of the Returning
Hoard, They Threaten 10 Ex pose she
wheie Fraud.
New ORLEANS, January 25.--Argu.
meDt for the transfer TO the United
States circuit court OF the case against
j. Madison Wells, Thomas G. Ader-
son, Louis NJ kenner aud Gardere
Cassinave, members of the returning
board, indicted for forging aud alter
ing the returns of Vernon parish, was
closed yesterday evening aud taken by
the court under sdvisement.
To-day, Judge Whitaker delivered
his decision, of which the following is
an abstract. The petitioners ask for q
transfer of information, minutes, etc
in the case to the United States eircuit
court, alleging, first, that they can't
enforce in this court the rights given
them hy the constitution of this state
and that of the United States second
that under the civil rights act they are
entitled to fair trial by Jury, and be
lieve that rights will be denied them
in this court; third, that act No. 81 of
1874 is entitled 10 operate in favor of
whites against the colorsd, thereby de.
privipg kenner and Cassinave, both
coiored, OF trial by their peers, and
that this act is uneop stitutional.
Judge Whitaker took up each point
separately, read decisions of the State
supreme court and of the United States
supreme court, and quoted from the
constitution OF the United States. He
said, Were a transfer granted in this
case, every psrty indicted before this
court would ask for a removal, and the
United States courts would be crowded
with such cases" Judge Whitaker
came to the conclusion to maintain
his jurisdiction and denied tine transfer
thereof
The motion for commission to take
the evidence of witnesses residing out,
side of the state sas argued. The de-
Tense argue.t that the evidence of Ira
n. Clifford, Davenport, Iowa; T. w.
Eaton, OF Princeton, Bureau county
Illinois; Isidore Mccormick, Mobile
and Ex-Governor John NJ Palmer, Of
Springfield, Illinois, is material to
prove their innocence, and that they
could not without it proceed to trial
An affidavit to that effect, made before
United States Commissioner Lane by
the four accused, was read, and after
argument was also denied.
The atterney.genera then mo-ed
for severance ia the case, aud that

leaving only twelve. The motion
was taken under advlsemant until six
o'clock this afternoon.
AT that hour, when the csss was call
ed, none of the accused who, had been
sbsent during the day, were present.

notified the court that after the deei.
sion rendered this afternoon, they had
applied for writ of eeYttordri To the

court wished to hear argument, and
the case had been fixed for eleven
O'Clock to MORROW.

As far as we can learn there remains no

Asto the County Commissioners, At
torncy and advisers, all that they desir-
ed and intended was to make no mis-
take, and to act only for the best inter

the opportunity to sell at good figure
was lost through their negligence or
inaction, that hereafter the peopl,
would blame them for the want o.
foresight and business capacity. 1.-THE!
done less they would have been blama-
BILE, and they could not have done
more. The way they have been criti-

is simply outrageous. The people now

Sedgwick county has as honest set o'
county officers as can be found in thi'
or any other State, and they have aud
will act conscientiously and fo'
the best interests Of the people, as the,
understand them, in defiance OF the pes
sonal spleen of eDemies, or the mean

a cheap notoriety.

The Burlington Road to 60 Ahead.

Mr.. w. II. Schofeld, of railroad fame
was IN our city yesterday. He has
Just returned from the East, where he
has made arrangements for pushing
the Bun iingtOn road on southwest in
TO Sumner county, expecting to reach
that county during the coming sea-
son.
We learn from him that, in view of
the progress of the Burlington road,
Commodore Garrison of the Missouri
Pacific, has determined to build across
from Paola to Ottawa. ii there is suf-
iicient local encouragement as there
doubtless will be. The recent acqui-
-iiion Of Wabash road by Garrison aud
his friends is said to signify q connec-
ton with the Vanderbilt roads, SO that
the whole line from Sumner county to
The .eaboard will be virtually in one
interest. Mr.. Schofeld feels greatly
encouraged, rs well he may, for he has
triumphed over obstacles in the build
ing of his road that would have ap-
p lied most men.-Lawrcnce Journal.
