Writers of tho lottets constituting tho socalcd
ngrecmont for tho withdrawal Of tho troops
from tho State Houses in Columbia md New
Orleans, based their assurances upon their
knowledge Of, ond confidence in Mr.. Hayes.
Tho samo line was takon by Mr.. Sherman in
his lettor, and Mr.. Matthews operated in u
similar manner. Tho committee in
Florida also camo across the trail Of Mr..
Hayes.
McLin, tho Florida Statesman, sticks to tho
story ho told some weeks ago. and has
strengthened and amplfiod it, lilo says that
Zach Chandler, tho Chairman Of tho National
Kopnb!ican Committee, telegraphcd to him
that the troops would DO used, if necessary,
to sustain and protect the Florida manipula-
tors of THO vote. Noycs, now Minister to
France. assured MoLin that ho should bo
rewarded, and told him that no had "actod
nobly:" Tho distinct understanding Mas
that Noyes and tho other visiting statesmen" !"
in what they said and did, woro tho anthor-
lied personal representatives Of Mr.. Hayes.
Another discovery has been mado. There
was an informalty in tho first returns of tho
Presidential election in Louisiana, rs sent to
Washington by the Hayes electors. It was
thought hest to obtain now SGT Of returns
Levisco was nbsent, and his name, as he
testi[cs, was forged to three sets of returns.
Tho Secretary Of State of Louisiana was a
P"NtS o'''o iuSo"iitJb anu
now Senator from Louisiana, witnessed tho
forged signatures. 1t is true that tho forgery
is not of much practical Importance, as Levi.
sec had cast Ills vote for Hayes and Wheeler.
but the forgery is thorc. and for TINT deed
somebody is linble to trial, and, if convicted,
will bo favored with sniourn in tho peni-
tertiary. Lcvisco himself was in treaty with
n person who desired to bribe him to cast his
yoto Tor Tilden, tho price ho demanded being
10000. OF course, he says TINT ho mover
had any idea of conscnting, and it is reported
that some gamblers, who had bet heavily on
Iilden, were tho principals in tho negotiation.
The Democratic party, so far. is not involved
in the attempted bribery. 1t is plain, at all
events, that the Republicans carried Louisi-
ana by barefaced fraud, that tho frauds cx
tended to tho making Of the returns of the
vote Of the Electoral College, and to chousine
Anderson out Of his promised reward Un.
like Nnycs, Stoughton, Packard and Kellogg,

AuGCsrA Ga, juno l0.--Thc Eycmng
Neca is filed with accounts of the destruction
of life and property, by tho terrible storm en-

Large trees were blown great distances

officers in search Of the game were AIessrs

placed himself in IN attitude Of defense draw
ing his pistol and levcng it at Kane. Both of
the Deputy Marshals seeing the situation,
fired simultaneously upon Ladd, who fell NOR

There was considerable excitement among the
people Of the ncghborhood when the news
spread that J.add had been killed. nnd which

TIL ERE is really something aris-
tocratic about Lieutenant.Ge General
Kearney. He affects to be Work
ingman, pure and simple; but, in
his prenomen, he is careful to dis
card the double and to have the
letters which enclose one side of
his mark written after the French
fashion. He is Denee, not the pro-
sale Dennis. The pronunciation is,
of course, on the distingue method
in which the tourist pronounces
Paris-Paree. However this may
be, the great Denee reminds us of
nothing so much as of that pro-
logue to one of Shakespeare's plays
in which one Christopher Sly is
taken in a drunken sleep and made
a lord of. Still it is unnandsome
upon the part of Denee to seek to
separate himself from his Work
ingmen friends by such preten-
tious aud aristocratio prefix.

TIL E man who is making up bis
mind as to how he shall vote
should not forget that City Attor-
ney Godfrey, in articles contribut-
ed to the HERALD two years ago,
spoke of his system of "checks and
balances" by which the abuses of
our city government were to be
prevented. After nearly two years
of Office he now comes before pub
lie audiences and assures them
that there has been gross sxtrava-
gance in matters municipal. What,
then, becomes Of his system OF
checks and balances? 1t seems to
US that there have been many ecca-
sions in which the system could
have been wholesomely applied to
the City Attorneys office during
the past two years. We are afraid
that the checks he has most valued
were those upon a depleted City
Treasury for $3.50 a month for him
self and 500 for his assistant City
Attorney, to say nothing of the big
extra bills for copying sent in more
than ENTHUSIASTICALLY. 1t seems to
US that a town of fifteen thousand
inhabitants ought to be able to gel
hold of man for City Attorney
who can do all the work himself
and that, too, without his groanine
like the mountain in labor which
produced the famous ridiculous
little m ouse, according to the mar
rative of Horace. The balance
which City Attorney Godfrey ha
most regarded are those at hi
banker. OF course, in his new
found zeal, this is all wonderful.

John the Baptist, he now run

The PEOPLES ticket is stea

The Peoples ticket is steadily
gaining ground. The fact that two
steady and reliable employers of
Chinese labor are heading their
ticket has disgusted hundreds of
Workingmen. All Of them who
have principle at heart are rerelled
by the spectacle of an organization,
which professedly made war upon
professional politicians, being led
by the nose by two of the most de-
termined and chronic of profess
ional offics-seskers. The address
of Robert Hughes, which we pub
lished yesterday, gives forclble
voice to the protest of genuine
Workingm,n against this incon-
sistency.
