Thus we have shown how the compromise
through which these amendments were

into the compromise by the embodiment In the

Altogether the whole amendment scheme was

dangerous preiudices Of the negroes, and in
which the people got very little
Let this obnoxious compromise be repudi-
ated by the people, and let the Democrats at
Baton Rouge pledge the Democracy to a con-

the call by that body of a convention, favor
such call by the Legislature to be elected
this fall Senator Sandiford, holding-over
Senator from the Natchitoches District, stood
out against convention until the close Of the
last session. Now however, he is conven-

a delegate from Red River TO Baton Rouge.

The New York Times no longer reads the
testimony taken before the investigation COM
mittees. The weather is hot enough without
this addenda, which seems to be the result of
a "depraved desire" to make things altogether
unbearable. According to the Times an inno-
cent man must be salamander to even read
it. II this be 50 the effect on Hayes and the
visiting statesmen must be a foretaste of
damnation indeed. Says the Times:
It may be safely affirmed that the man who
is capable of following the proceedings Of the
Potter committee, with the thermometer at
go in the shade, is the sort of person who
would regard as suitable reading for the leis-
ure hours of tropical midsummer an ex-
tended report of the debates Of the fallen
cherubim in their Internal abode over "provi-
dence, foreknowledge, will and fate-fxed fate,
free will, foreknow1edge absolute"

The great Italian lottery swindle, by which
priest, De Malta by name, won q prize OF
2,7S0,000 lire or $4,000, has finally been ex-
posed. In Italy the lottery Is conducted by
the government there are no limits to the
amount you can bet, and the prizes are In d.
rect proportion to the chances against win
ming De Malta, for instance, bet on the first
four numbers coming out-the Louisiana
Lottery for the three first numbers coming
out gives only $50OO the Italian government
for the four first numbers gives $4,000. De
Malta won his bet and the largest prize ever
won in lottery. The government, how
ever, was suspicious 1t seemed so alb
surd that man should takeIsuch odds Of
100000 to one, that an examination was
ordered and made. Everything, however,
seemed correct, and the money was paid
over to the priests order. De Malta sud
denly bolted, and the whole truth then came
out. He had no less than eleven Confederates
in the government employ in the swindle, and
had agreed to pay them one-fifth Of his WIN
nings.
One of these confederates, not satisfied
with his share of the money, confessed ALL
and De Malta getting wind of this fled to
Switzerland before he could be arrested. All
the money he won was recovered, and his
cOnfederates who assisted him In this enter
prise are now all securely locked up. The
news of this prize when first announced had
the unfortunate effect of causing an immense
increase in lottery gambling in Italy; but
later news and the disastrous fate Of De Mat
tia and his fellOw-conspiratOrs has cured
this disease and the people of italy have at
last come to the conclusion that the only way
in which you can beat a lottery company is
by swindling it, and that in swindling the
lottery has far more chances than the average
private citizen

Cen, b. b. SHINES returned to New Orleans
Friday last after a prolonged absence In
Washington. The General, on the recommend
alton of the congressional delegation of Texas
and Louisiana, has been appointed special
aren't of the Post-ofiice Department for the
States of Louisiana ana Texas, with his head
quarters In New Orleans just at this juno
ture this is very important office. The
postal service in these States, especially in
louisiana. and between New Orleans and
Galveston, requires a thorough reform. BY
the new contract with parties who have no
ADEQUATE means of transporting the mails,
New Orleans has been very nearly cut of
from all mail communication with Texas, and
our merchants who deal with that great State
have suffered and are still suffering great
loss and embarrassment. A number of our
merchants, as will be seen by our local col
unns. have sent a dispatch to the Postmaster
General representing the fact Of this extraor-
binary condition of things, and yesterday
they were in consultation with Gen. SHINES
who, we are sure, will Immediately do all in
his power to have the efficiency of our postal
relations with Texas restored.
We take the liberty, in this connection,
of calling Gen. SHINES attention to the
Importance of representing to the De
partment the serious embarrassments to
which the people of this city and Of
the whole State are subjected by the
insuficiency and, in many cases, the In
efficiency of the mail service throughout
Louisiana. The General is well acquainted
with every locality in the State, and will fine
it easier perhaps than any one else to acquaint
himself with our postal needs We venture
to say that New Orleans has fewer mail facil
tiles than any other great city in the Union
and we are certain that Gen. SHINES will usf
bis information and influence to remedy this
evil as far as possible.

The Morehouse Clarion seems to have a
rooted hostility to the DEMOCRAT, and espe-
cially to it's editor personally. We have
no complaint to make on that score, but
we venture TO suggest that the Clarion
could pursue a more respectable line OF
attack than the republication of double
breasted lies printed about us by the
llrtlest and most insignificant Radical sheet
left in the State. IL our excellent contempt
rary has any charge to make against our
fidelity to the people Of this State let him
come out Ia manly, open way and make it,;

nesses who repudigted their Returning Board
affidayits. They all swore to their own In
fanny, and, as between bribery and perjury.
they said their choice would depend entirely
upon the amount of money that was up.
There may be some hope for the man who,
moved by the pangs of conscience. will come
up and confess, on his own motion, that he
has lied, but for him who swears as he Is
paid to swear, or who COnfesses that he can
be paid to periure himself, there Is none
whatever. 10 show, then, that the wit
nesses who swore away Tllden's majority
can be and have been paid perjurers on both
sides simply intensifies their infamy. This Is
just what the subcommittee here Is doing,
and this Is the consideration, doubtless, which
moves the Chicago Tribune to call for the
abandonment Of its labors on the ground that
1t knows that the evidence which they are
taking to make out their case Is periured. and
that 1t has been obtained by bribery. Know
ing this 1t Is high time that they should
abandon the disreputable work at once. and
put no further disgrace upon the politics Of
the country"
Doubtless it was q full appreciation OF the
fact that TO summon and examine the hum
dred or more witnesses John Sherman has
been ciamoring for would only serve
to more thoroughly yentilate their de-
PRAYED characters and phenomenal mem
dacity, which has induced Cox
and John Ray to decline Mr. Stenger's con-
cession to their demands and confess that
they don't want them as bad as they thought
We oil remember John Sherman's letters
demanding that these witnesses be sum
moned and that the whole question of intim-
idatiOn be opened UP as essential to his vndl-
cation. We all remember his denunclations
of the one-sided and partial character of the
investigation SO long as 1t was proposed to
cOntine 1t to the charges Of bribery and cor
ruption on his part In connection with
the action Of the Returning Board. Yet
despite all this, when the investi-
cation is given the scope John
Sherman demanded, when he Is given full
swing and notified that he can summon all
the witnesses he wants, his counsel decline
the proffer. This is just what they have
done. On Saturday Mr.. Stenger notified
John Ray, Sherman's counsel, that he could
any witnesses he chose and that
the sergeant-at-arms would supply him with
summons. Yesterday Mr.. Ray declined the
privilege; he must consult with Sherman and
the counsel at Washington, etc. Now they
don't want these witnesses, for every one
they put on the stand develops a villain or a
poor, miserable hail. Hitted, irresponsi y uI Q

There has not yet been put upon the stand

Hayes in office who has not shown himself or

witted dupe. Yet it was upon such testimony,
procured by John Sherman, that President
was made and still holds his office.

PERJURED VILLAINS, ALL.

Soho! The Radical press Is already begin
ming to howl about the bribery and corrup-
tion that is being used to induce the Return
ing Board witnesses to repudiate and contra
dict their af1fdavits, which made up the testi-
mony on which Tildens majority in this
State was set aside and Hayes declared en-
titled to the electoral vote Of Louisiana.
When these witnesses made those original
aftidavits they were angels of light, and
their evidence was good enough to set aside
an election and overcome the presumption
arising from a majority of 5000 votes. II
they can be bribed now they must have
been bribed then. There is no es-
cape from this, or from the further
fact that upon their credibility and upon
nothing else, rests whatever title Hayes may
have to the Presidency. We don't believe q
word Of the talk about these witnesses being
bribed to testify before the Stenger commit
tee Dula's story was exploded by his own
cross-examinatiOn, and Clarke swore that
Dula was the only man that tried to bride
him. But, even granting that it all be true
that Tilden and the New York San are buying
up these witnesses by wholesale and retail,
and that not single one Of them has or will
repudiate his original affidavit except for a
consideration, yet this does not help out
the fraud at Washington nor whiten the
begrimed reputation of John Sherman. Were
these things true it would only serve to show
up all the more concluslvely the foul means
to which Sherman resorted for the accom-
plishment of his foul purposes, and the foul
instruments he made available to that end.
Besmirch one Of these witnesses and you de-
grade John Sherman through the company
he kept. Destroy their credibility, prove
them infamous and unworthy of belief. it
matters not how this be done whether by
bribing them or whether they be moved to
confession by contrition, and you show John
Sherman a suborner Of perjury, prostitution
of human conscience, and Hayes the ''fence"
that Is in receipt of the stolen goods Of Til
sdaeE. The infamy of Dula, Clarke and
Swazie, who re-asserted the truth OF their
original afidavits and swore that a PROPOSE
ton to bride them had been made. came out
