Especial of the Cincinnati Gazette.l
Washington, May 20.-The Repub-
licans will by no means stand pass
lively by and allow the Democrats to
plot revolution i'm their investigation
committee.
This evening Secretary Sherman
has sent TO the committee, through
his attorney, Judge Shellabarger,
ringing letter, in which he takes the
aggressive in the Louisiana matter.
The Secretary has been FESTIVE for
long time under the Democratic libel
against him, and when the Potter
resolution was introduced a week
ago he was in favor Of allowing the
Democrats to pass it immediately,
in order that he might have an OPP
portunity to meet some of the unjust
attacks that had been made upon
him. Immediately upon tho an
nouncement OF the committee, he
placed ia Judge Shellabarger's hands
the letter already referred to, with
the request that he hand it to the
committee. The letter is, of course,
respectful in tone, but is direct and
unmistakable in its language. Sec
rotary Sherman says that that part
OF the preamble OF the Potter reso-
luton which refers to Louisiana con-
tains three propositions First-That
there was conspiracy among the
Republican voters of East and West
Feliciana. Second-That the cleo
ton in those parishes was full and
free, and that the supervisors OF reg
istration, Anderson and Weber, de-
liberately made false reports in re-
gard to it. Third-That the return
ing board, accepting the false state
ments OF Anderson and Weber, ille-
gally threw out the votes OF those
parishes. Every one OF these propo-
sitions Secretary Sherman pronoun-
ces false, and he declares his ability
to prove their falsity. The fact that
there were murders and outrages in
both of the Feliciana parishes, Mr..
Sherman says. has never been seri-
ously denied. The evidence OF them,
and that they were so numerous and
of such a character as to make free
and fair election absolutely impossi-
bic, is overwhelming and unanswer-
able. This having been established,

The investigating resolution intro
duced in the United States House Of
Representative several days ago by
Potter, of New York, was forced
through the House last Friday by
breaking pairs, and with the aid Of
Speaker RandalPs rulings. Several
Democrats expressed themselves as
opposed to it, but they submitted to
the dictates of the caucus, not having
backbone enough to act independent
ly. Mills, OF Texas, Alexander H.
Stevens, Of Georgia, and Morse, Of
Massachusetts,, being the only Demo-
Gratis that had stamina enough to do
what they believed to be right. That
there were frauds perpetrated no one
viii deny, and the persistent refusal
Of the Democracy to allow any amend
ment looking to an investigation of
more than one side. shows that they
know that such investigation would
be damaging to the Democratic party.
and it will no doubt have the effect to
open the eyes Of great many weak
knesd Republicans, and enable them
to see the rottenness Of the Democ-
racy, and the hollowness and deceit
fuIness of the chiyalry of the South.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-05-23

all OF the propositions in the Demo
cratic preamble fall to the ground.
Secretary Sherman says in regard
TO the letter reported to have been
sent by him to Anderson, the supervi-
scr OF registration OF the East Felici
ana parish, that he belieyed it to be a
deliberate forgery, that those.who have
put in circulation reports about it
know it to be such. Secretary Sher-
man says he has nothing to fear from
the proposed investigation, but that
he does not intend that the Demo
Gratis shall continue to circulate their
libelous reports about him without
their being met and answered.
