sHERMAN's DILEMMA.

His Progress In Crime -Interesting Contracts.
1t is interesting to mark John Sher.
mans progress in crime. Take for the
first step his reply to the Democratic
visitors to Louisiana, when they asked
him to unite with them to ensure fair
count:
ave are here as private citizens With
no official powers. We, therefore, can
not superCede OF modify any law Of that
State. Nor have we any right to control
or influence any of its officers as to the
manner in which they shall perform
ministerial orjudiCial duties imposed on
them by its laws, and should we, being
strangers and without official functions
attempt this, we should be condemned
by the people of every State in the Un-
ion for an improper interference with
local administration"
JOHN SHERMAN AND Others.
Contrast this with his declaration to Q
reporter of the Republican of this city
on the 14th of last month:
II went to Louisiana to supervise the
count of the VOTE"
Next in order is his impudent letter to
Mr.. Potter, defying him to bottom
faCt' Investigations piece of bravado
that excited the unstinted praise of the
Radical organs. In this he says:
ITO my personal conduct during this
examination invite your fair and can
did scrutiny, with entire confidence that
not only myself, but my associates Of
hOth nnitipol nartiou ontaA hnnnutlv
from a sense of public duty"
AS late as last February he wrote to
the editor of the Philadelphia Times as
follows:
"You are mistaken in one thing, that
is, that / ever wrote letter to Anderson
or ever did anything in Louisiana which
could ever be construed into wrong. /
believe the element in Louisiana that is
trying to stir up these prosecutions now
acknowledged that they cannot assail me
except by forgery or perjury. They
sought to do this through Anderson and
a Mrs. jerks, but this utterly failed; and
l have now letters from each of them
that no such letter was received or was
ever written"
Contrast with all this his testimony Of
last Saturday, and observe what Shut
fling, evasive, mean-spirited wretch this
boasting braggart has become:
II can only say this, that believe,
upon my responsibility and the oath l
have taken, that / never wrote such a
letter. l have no recollection of ever
writing such letter. If this letter was
written, it must have been, if am not
mistaken about the dates, on the day the
returning officers first convened to open
the returns. think it was on the 10th.
At that time I knew but little about the
transactions. The papers had not been
opened. l do not believe 1 ever wrote
that letter. At the same time there are
things in this letter would have writ
ten to these or any other men who were
engaged in the performance of what 1
believed to be their duty, if 1 had been
asked but / do not believe l wrote that
letter."

The subcommittee of the Potter COM
mittee sent to Florida, began investiga.
ting the two returns from Baker county
in that State, the first of which gave the
Tilden electors 238 votes, and the HAYES
electors 14S, while the second return, the
forged one, gave the former SO and the
latter 13O. The ex-Clerk of Baker coun-
ty, who helped to make the canvass of
the vote, sw0re that the first OF these re-
tnrns WAS the true one. In the second,
two precincts were omitted.

The Indian war in Idaho seems to be
due entirely to the blunders and cor.

they did, and several settlers have been
killed, and women and children carried

TIE Florida Presidential steal has
been developed before the sub.Commit-
tee down there. The State was SO close
that throwing out two precincts in Ba.
ker county, the Republican election off.
GERS who manipulated the frauds in Ba.
ker county, and got up the midnight
canvass Of the returns in Baker, by get.
ting into the clerks Office. This was af-
ter the proper officers had canvassed the
vote. The Republican county judge who
presided at the bogus canvass testified
that he threw out the vote of one pre-.
CinCt on the simple informal statement
of a man, that his vote was refused be
cause he was Republican, the election
officers being Republican. The other
precinct was rejected because, it was ru.
mored, somebody said six or eight non.
registered persons had voted. By throw
ing out these two precincts the basis was
laid for the theft Of Florida from Tilden.
Thus was the Presidency stolen. In
Florida the sCoundrelisn n can be brought
within narrow compass. All this con.
firms what has been said by ex. Attorney
General Barlow of New York, one of the
Republican visiting statesmen" and
later by Secretary of State McLin and
Dennis, the manager of the Republican
canvass in the State.

"wnERE ROLLS THE OREGON"

Oregon turns out better and better.
We have the Legislature with major
ity on joint ballot of at least twelve over
both Republicans and Independents
Whitaker, the Democratic candidate, is
elected as the first Representative to the
forty y,siXth Congress, by a majority of
500 or 800. This ia Democratic gain,
and does not presage we'll for the Repub.
lican bluster about carrying the next
House. But in addition, the Democrats
claim the election of Thayer for Cover
nor, with favorable chances on the rest
of the State ticket The good news is
told in the following dispatch from the
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee:
Portland, Oregon, June 7.-Nearly full
and complete returns have been reCeiv.
ed from all parts of the State and justify
us IN the statement that the Legislature
will be Democratic by a majority of at
least twelve over both Republicans and
Independents. Some of the Indepen-
dents will act with the Democrats and
increase this majority. 1t is positively
known that the Democratic members on
Joint ballot will be as high as fifty one.
Whittaker's majority (Dem. candidate
for Congress) will be between 500 and
900, and may run over the large figure.
This is not disputed by the Republicans.
We also claim the election of Thayer
dem. candidate for GOVERNOR The
rest of the State ticket is in doubt, with
chances favorable to the Democrats.
