Parues concerned. some of the Southern
democrats, finding that Sherman and Mat
theWs could not be induced to affix their sig
natures, signed their own names to it, "a
witnesses to the fact that it was the contract
made and entered between the parties, and
that contract Burke has now. If it is as rep
resented by the Hayes party, why don't they
show 1t, and thereby remove the suspicion
that now rests over the matter:'
"Were there any documents passing be-
tween these people?"
"Foster had letter which he gave to j.
Young Brown, IN which be stated that he was
authorized to negotiate. Stanley Matthews
gave up letter too, but he was shrev6er
than Foster, for his letter didn't amount to
anything. Now if all these papers could be-
secured it would show the whole bargain,
and inform the people of the country Just
how the business was worked. OF course
you couldn't expect the people working for
Hayesstat that time to come right out
and sign contract which might sometime
turn up against them and break up all
their efforts. They worked it smarter than
that, and it is the very absence of these sig
natures that helps Burke, now that the de-
mand for documents is made upon him. He
says he has no paper signed by the Southern
Democrats, and John Sherman, Stanley
Matthews and others. OF course he has not,
but this is the only answer he makes when
he is called upon to develop the contract
'What is your interest in this matter, any
way? What have you got to do with it?''
"As Republican who does not think
Hayes belongs in his seat, have merely un-
dertaken to uproot the means by which he
went into the White House,
do you really know these things you
speak of! Do you get your information
from any good authority!''
"In the first place, all the circumstances
point in one direction. From what has been
admitted, the deductions are inevitable.
Why. Foster admits enough to you to prove
it. Besides, l have information from most
reliable sources
''Can you prove all these charges?"
cit is possible that l shall never be able to
actually prove them, I may never be able to
get hold of these documents; but there are
the facts, and there is the further fact that
these people are secreting the evidence. Their
lodging and equivocation is damaging to
them, and I think the people are beginning
to see and understand it."
Chow many contracts do you assume we're
made:'

"And all these letters and the like have the
same relation to it that Secretaries reports do
to the Presidents message; they were merely
accompanying documents is that it?"

Evidence Closed and Argument Begun
Case Will Go to the Jury Probably To-
Day.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 5.-The Anderson trial
rebutting testimony and tross-examination
of Edwin Harris by defence, closed at 1870,
when assistant Attorney general Ogden open
ed the argument of the counsel for the de-
tense. Messrs. Castellanos, Cullom and Ray
will then address the jury. Perhaps the
district attorney will speak between them,
and Attorney general Ogden will make the
closing argument for the State. Delay will
occur by the defense not accepting the pro-
posal of Judge Whitaker to furnish at the
close of the evidence with points of the
charge to the jury, so as to have them writ
ten up during the argument. Consequently
the case will not probably go to the jury be-
fore tomorrow.
Assistant Attorney General Egan opened
the argument on behalf of the State and
said: s'This is most important case. Ac-
cused has held high official position. He
is accused of a great crime, that of depriving
the people of selecting their executive. It
was necessary for the State to prove that
there was forgery committed, and that ac-
cused knew that it was forgery and pub
ished the same. Mr.. Egan went on with
his argument commenting upon the returns

argument as to the evidence and the law.
Judge Ray opened for the defense and was
followed by Judge Cullom who spoke for
nearly three hours. The defense holds that
the consolidated statement was no public
document and therefore the charge could not
be substantiated. MIR, Castellanos will close
for the defense tomorrow morning, and At

dollars in her pocket. This was
only few days after the great Chi

more. than the regular price. This
was a good days work, and encon-
aged her very much, and she has
ever since been selling papers. She

Is Cuba to he a Second San Domingo {,

The wonderful achievement OF Gen MAR
T1NEz CAMPos in suppressing the Cuban
revolution, or, as it was trumpctcd abroad,
"pncifying the island of Cuba" bids fair to
prove but barren victory. 1t was won by
artiilce. and 1T satisfies neither Cubans nor
| Spaniards. Gen. CA,lPos sought out few
malcontcnts in Camaguey, converted them
by pretty liberal use Of Spanish gold into
traitors, and thus clcvcrly managed TO dis
intcgrate the whole fabric of the Cuban re-
public. He obtained by force OF intrigue n
result which the experience Of over year
had convinced him was unobtainable by
force Of arms
To the Cuban traitors who In February
last, declared the Cuban republic extinct,
Gen. C,MPos in reality promised less radi-
cal notifications of the tyrannous rule with
which Spain had misgoverncd Cuba for CEN
turtles, than had been offered by his prede-
ccssors and refused by the patriots. But he
agreed to guarantee that all slaves VIA had
borne arms in tho libcrating army should
enjoy their freedom unmolested.
The former slaves who ran away from
their masters. and whose liberty Is guar
antecd by Gen. CANrPos, have in most in
plantations TO whose slave gangs they once
belonged. and have begun n propaganda,
the result Of which must be universal eman-
cipaton.
One of the most difficult tasks OF tho Span.
ish military authorities in Cuba durinr tho
revolution was to keep all knowledge Of
one of its main objects, to wit, emancipa-
ton. from reaching the plantation hands.
The slaves were told that The success of the
Cubans would deprive them of their last
chance OF freedom, and that Spain had de-
termined 70 Zee them as soon rs she should
suppress. tne rebellion. To-day these same
Slaves Soc that the men Of their own class
Who fought against Spain are free, and 1t is
not difficult to convince them that, If they
had done likewise, they would he free also
That MARTINEZ CANPos would like to mi
tiate some measure for the gradual aboli-
tion of Cuban slavery is pretty generally
admitted. But the opposition Of the Span
ish Shareholders is so determined that even
his energy and II solution are likely to prove
Intellectual. Besides, he will meet with still
more potent opposition to his reformatory
programme in Madrid, where the influence
and the gold OF tho Havana Shareholders
rule supreme. and where the Cabinet can
easily convince the Cortes that tho loss OF
Cuban slavery and the loss OF Cuba are
synonymous.
That slavery will cease in Cuba in the
near future can hardlybe matter Of doubt !;
but, as our Republican Administrations held
free Cubas arms while Spain throttled her,
it should not surprise our citizens if Cuba,
instead Of being prosperous neiGhbor and
a source Of lucrative commerce, as she
might have been but for the pro-Spanish
policy OF Messrs. FISH and EvARTs, falls
into a condition similar to that in which tho
servile instructions left Hayti and San Do

The New Governor-Gencrai of Canada

The appointment OF the Marques OF
LoRNE to be Governor-General of the Do
minion may be sufficiently justified by tho
rank and character, If not by the experience
in executive office. Of tho nominee But Of
course it will be mainly commended by the
fact that under the new regime the chief lady
of Canadian society will be a princess OF Eng
land. This well-almed effort to intensity
the loyalty of British subjects in America is
in curious accord with the colonial policy
foreshadowed by Lord REACoNsFIELD in a
recent speech, and with the avowed opn-
ions OF many Conservatives as 10 the need OF
tightening the relations between the United
Kingdom and its outlying dependencies.
or course an exceptional degree Of tact
and judgment is required TO fiji with credit
position like that OF Governor General
under the Dominion Constitution, where the
prestige Of vice-regal dignity is coupled
with an almost total want OF substantial
power. With the exception OF the pardon
ing power, the authority Of the executive
figurehead Is exercised under the advice OF
privy council whose members cannot be
appointed without the assent OF the House
of Commons. But while the means OF di-
rect control are studiously cut Off from the
nominal ruler his opportunities of influence
are large and manifold, and there is no doubt
that an indiscrect or inexperienced Gov
ernor would be continually tempted to exert
an indirect pressure upon the Management
Of affairs. To invest sinccure with lustre,
to exalt the prestige without seeking to ex-
tend or emphasize the slight prerogatives Of
such an office, Is a difficult and delicate func-
ton seldom intrusted heretofore TO any but
the most astute and dextcrous diplOmatists
1t remains to be seen whether a relatively
young and untried man can discharge the
task with the address and superlative dis
cretion exhibited by Lord ABERcoRN
in Ireland and by Lord LoRNE's imme-
diate predecessor Lord DUFFERIN, in Can
ada. But although tho new Governor
General is only thirty-three years old, he
is credited with more than an average share
of Scotch sagacty The public relations
imposed by etiquette upon a husband who,
whatever his rank by courtesy, is under
British law u commoner and wife who
retains the rank and precedence Of royal
princess, are by no means unattended with
annoyance; but Lord LoRNE is understood
to have eyinced not little circumspcction
and good sense In his anomalous situation.
1t is, however, rs the husband OF tho
Princess LOUISE, and scarcely in any other
capacity, that the new Govcrnor-General
will be welcomed in the Dominion. The sen
| tm"nt of loyalty Is neither mort nor MORT
( bund among our Canadian npighburs, and So
cool and wary an observer rs Sir FRANCIS
| HINcKs has lately pointed out that the 'atti-
tude Of British subjects in America toward
the Crown has in times past been quite as
much determined by the heart as by the head

lated TO quicken the sense of identity with
the Englisl. nation, and tho sentiment Of
personal allegiance to the House Of BRUNs-
