COMPOUNDS TIE FRAUD.

Mr.. Sherman said, 81 wanted to sec
yOn, gentlemen, as | understood there
was some difficulty i'll reference to your
parishes. Now, there is q crisis in which
not only Louisiana but the whole conn.
try is involved, and it is time when we
expect and want every Republican AID
every true patriot to stand by us. Now
l hope that yon gentlemen are going to
do that thing" swell, said Mr.. Weber,
Mr.. Anderson and l have already done
more than the circumstances of the case
would warrant lis in doing, and | have
done great deal more than safety
would warrant me in doing' Said Mr..
Sherman, "What do you mean by that ~
Weber said, "The people of my parish
are considerably worked up, aud have
made II protest which is perhaps more
sweeping than it should have been, and
it'll go back l will undoubtedly be in
danger of my life "WcII," said Mr..
Sherman. what necessity is there for
your going back!' Weber said: ''My
family is there, my wife and children are
there, my whole property is there what
have l to DO" Mr.. Sherman said {:
You can be provided for elsewhere"
"Well.' said Weber, "Mr. Anderson and
myself, on account of the course we have
pursued have incurred tho enmitv of
Mr.. Packard and Mr.. Kellogg, and every
Republican leader in the State. lfPack~
and becomes Governor of the State of
Louisiana we have no possibility of ever
getting any thing under him, aud if these
men ore opposed to lis We have no posi-
bilty of getting any thing under the
United States Government
Mr.. Sherman interrupted and said:
Gentlemen, let me tell you one thing.
Mr.. Packard, as Governor of the State
of Louisiana, will control the Stat. Mr..
Hayes, as President CT the United States,
will control the general patronage. It
does not follow that Mr.. Hayes will
adopt Mr.. Packard's suggestion in every
thing or in any thing. The Republican
party has not been in tho habit of for
getting the men who stood by it in the
hour Of peril, and wilt not only uphold
vo", bnt yon will be upheld by the SEN
tlmtnt of the country
then remarked: "Mr. Sherman, tho
sentiment of the country may be very
good thing for mau to stand on, but it |
will not prevent him being pre- secuted
m the charge of perjury, for they are
going to throw out my parish on a forg-
d protest
MIR. Sherman raised his left hant and
ai1: "Mr. Anderson, this is subject |
which you and l can not discuss That |
y a question for your State authorities.
What want TO say to you is this: that |
you gentlemen stand firm i'll this mat
er, and let it RIM along as it is, YOU will
ind no cause to regret it," And then
he interview ended. That was Sunday
