Senator Mathews makes firm and ex-
plicit denial of all knowledge Of any frauds
in the Louisiana election of 1876, or that
he was priyy to any promises OF protection
or reward to any one 10 consideration of
the commission them of frauds, or that
he has ever made any efforts to procure
official appointment for Anderson with
the knowledge or belief that he or any one
else had been guilty of any frauds in con-
nectiou with that election, He has also
called for an investigation by the senate
into his action and connection with Ander-
son and the alleged frauds.
Whatever may be thought of Senator
Mathews as partizan, or as the special
confdant and friend Of the President, or
of his influence in directing and shaping
the policy of the Administration, no one
who is solicitous of the welfare and honor
Of the country will desire to see the Sena'
tor made the scape-goat for the sins OF
others, or crushed beneath the weight OF

documentary evidence produced, the direct
testimony of Anderson, and the entangling
web of corroborating circumstances, the
Senator can show himself innocent of COM
plcity with frauds, the country will breathe
all the easier and feel all the better fol-
his being able to do so. Its not martyr
dom, or propitiatory sacrifice that is de-
manded, it is full, clear. and undoubt

If the allegations against Mathews, or
against other men occupying distinguished
positions are false it is most earnestly to bt
desired that their innocence may be made
clearly apparent; if on the other hand
they have prostituted their good name

Will Mr.. Sherman Plead Forgery.

Will mr.. Sherman Plead Forgery
The outgiyings of the treasury depart
ment and of the friends of Mr.. Sherman
indicate that he intends to plead before
Mr., Potter S committee that he never wrote
any letter OF lnGucement or encouragement
to Anderson or Weber, and that if auv
sucn letter Is produced purportiDg to have
been written or signed by him it will prove
TO be forgery. The allegation made By
Mr.. Potter against Mr.. Sherman is so
grave, and this plea of forgery will so put
IN peril the future public aud private career
OF Mr., Sherman if it should be adiudged
against him by the country, that we give
elsewhere this morning the very clear exs
position OF the Louisiana election law which
was made by MIR. Carpenter before the
electoral commission. The Tilden elec-
tors from Louisiana claimed. it will be seen,
that the state returninglboard had no autho-
rlty to exclude the returns from any precinct
unless certain complaints against that pre-
clnct, formally verified aud attested, were
attached by wax or some other adhesive
substance to the returns. The democrats
claim that the returns from the Felicianas
when they left the hands of the commits
sloners aud supervisors, twenty-four hours
AFTER the election, had no such complaints
or protests attached, and that the COM
plants by reason Of which the Felicianas
were excluded by the returning board were
made after the twenty four hours had ex-
pred and were fraudulent madely by Su-
pervlsors Anderson and Weber. Mr.. Sher-
man, IN his letter to MIR. Potter, has denied
that he induced or encouraged the protests
MADE by those two supervisors, or had
anything to do with them; and he is under.
stOod now to declare that if any letter to
the contrary purporting to be from him
mas ever been IN existence it was forgery.
Upon that he proposes to stand or fall
And at this point Anderson comes upor

so mucn, Weber is dead. He suddenly
disappeared soon after the complaints wer,
made respecting the Felicianas. If he wa

NHomesjek Pig.

-
Onesof the fiioss remarkable cases Of
instinct that we ever heard of came under
our personal observation few DAYS ago.
Mr.. Deveaux, the County Jailer, was
presented with a small pig by d friend
living about four miles from town, and
it was tied by him in the Courthouse
yard. The pig was not over four weeks
old and was brought the whole distance
in asack. On Friday morning hast Mr..
Deveanx united it and did not notice it
particularly. In the evening he noticed
that It had strayed off Ons Saturday
morning his friend informed him that
the pig had returned to his farm and
was with its mother, it having succeed
ed in making its way from townfto the
place of its nativity. The journey was
the more remarkable, as the wav to be
traversed was first across Briton's Ba az.
which is a half mile wide, and thence
through the enclosures OF three differ
ent farms. The pig was seen by some
coIored men while crossing the bay,
who tried to intercept it, but it eluded
them and escaped to the cornfeld in the
direction of its home.-St. lNary's md. ]

And three months passed away ereI
