Punishment for the Thieves ection
for the Receiver.

Punishment to the full extent OF the law
for the miserable wrctchcs who stole the
goods. but protection for the equally guilty
receiver: such. If we may Judge by the adj
dress adopted last Thursday evening, IS now
the political creed of rammany Hall
"The Infamous frauds in Florida and Lou
isiana,' said the distinguished lawyer who
was put forward as the mouthpicce Of tho
organization ON that OCCASION " in cOnse-
uuence Of which the votes of i,2s4,265 citl-
zens OF this Union were rendered ~ no effect
and the Presidency, together with the en-
tire national Government, was stolen by u
party which had been defeated at the polls,
must be laid bare to public view, to the end
that all guilty Of such crimes, whether as
principals or ~ accessories before or after
the fact. may have mctcd out to them swift
and certain justice at the hands Of the law.
At the same time, the same orator, i'll the
same address, in the name of the organiza-
tion, declares that HAYES title to the Office
of President cannot bc disturbed until 1881.

Such doctrines may do for mere party
politicians but they will never be received,

Can senator BE Compelled TO Testify
Before u Committee of the House

We copy elsewhere an interesting article
on this subject, from the Albany Erenng
Times. edited by the Hon. T. c. CALLIcoT,
formerly Speaker of the Assembly, and by
common consent as able Il presiding officer
rs has been known in the annals of the State.
deep and general interest has already
been awakened in the discussion. This is
attributable to the novelty and Importance
of the question. But, SO far as Senator MAT
THEws IL concerned, IL makes no difference
which way il is ultimately decided. The
fact that he has publicly shrunk from the
Investigation is already fixed in the parlia-
mentary history of the times, and cannot be
changed. That he had the strongest of rca-
Sons for avoiding an investigation can hard
ly be doubted by those who are most dis
posed to judge him charitably.
Mr. CALLIcOT, in closing his candid arti-
Gle on the subject, ntmates that the fact
that the Senate had already appointed a
committee to examine into Mr. MATTHEws's 5
conduct may affect the decision. Evidently
this j. the view taken by Nr. MATTHEWS
himself, He makes the point in his answer
to the invitation of Mr. porrERs committee
to appear before them. But it will be borne
In mind that the Senate committee was
raised on Mr.. MATTHEws's own motion;
So, if that constitutes Il barrier, it
is one Of his own creating In
deed, it is not unfair to infer that
this was his whole object in NOV
ing for committee IN the Senate. As 1t
often happens that culprit. frightened 10y
the cry Of vengeance proceeding from a
mob, voluntarily surrenders himself to the
officers OF the law and appeals to them to
protect him. 50 Mr.. MATTHEWS may have
appealed to the body of which ne is mcm-
Der. hoping something from the sympathy
and pity Of hi. fellow senators, rather than
subject himself to the unsparing justice oi
the House Commit tee.
People talk Of MArrHEws's folly in not
testifying. His greater folly consists IN
having con4pred 60 do anything which hC
would not Ice perfectly willing to have
known.

" Special Cases.v

All the Returning Board rascals. their
confcdcratcs and their subordinatcs, were
treated by the Fraudulent Administration
as special cases, entitled to have priority
in appointments and patronage. After the
chief managers, like SHERMAN, MOVES
SroUGnrUN, KAssoN, and the like. were pro-
vidcd for in the highest trusts and honors,
the tools with which they worked were paid
off In proportion TO the value OF the risk
they had incurred and the services they had
rendered.
Thus WELLS, +. c. ANDERSON, KENNFR,
and all the principal clerks Of the Returning
Board in Louisiana, except LITTLEF1ELD,
who had exposed the forgery Of Vernon
parish. received and now hold valuable
places in the Custom House and other pub
lie cmploymcnts. McLIN, STEARNs, and
CowG1LL Of the Florida fraud were also bill
lctcd ON the Treasury without delay. Then
what may be rated as the third class In this
category pressed their claims TO considcra-
tion. Some of them were well rewarded,
but others did not consider they were fully
appreciated and gave up the Offices To which
they wcro assigned.
The fact stands out in all this iobbery and
corruption that the Fraudulent President
personally recommended to the heads OF de-
partmcnts the applicants for office from
Louisiana and Florida who had in any way
aided the villany by which the votes OF
those States were stolen. The cases of
DENNIs and JAMES T. ANDERSON are only IL
Illustrations Of practice applied to the class
which they may be said to represent. And
unless the evidence be- destroyed, numerous
-, !,
similar claims were appointed to Office
solely because they had worked to cOnsum-
mate the Fraud.
The foul birds of prey gathered at Wash
ington to witness the Inauguration Of HAYES
and to demand their share OF the common
plumber. J. l.. ANDERSON went there vouchcd
for by KELLOGG, NASH. DARBALL, and that
crew. whose only title to consideration was
that they had all conspired to alter the vote
Of Louisiana. HAYES had never seen An
pEIsoN before that time, but he promptly
and fully endorsed him in the following
letter:
Hia ". N. EvARrs.
PLEASE appoint this gentleman to a consulate in n
warm climate fii' 70 sp,crll oisr. "R nAitS"
l.. c. DENNIS who had planned and cxc-
cutcd the fraud in Alachua county Florida,
10y which the State was counted for HAYES,
was also among the band of patriots then
assembled at the capital, whose headquar-
tiers was established at the White House.

No, the Way TO Deal with Him.

A respected correspondent writes to adj
wise us to call for the removal Of JoHN
SHERMAN from the Office of Secretary of the
Treasury. The same idea is expressed in
the Cincinnati Enquirer. The sooner JOHN
SHERMAN is removed says that lively jour
nal. 1.-THE better for the country"
We cannot agree with these opinions.
SHERMAS certainly ought not to remain in
the Office hc occupies, but removal is not
the right way to deal with him. He should
be impeached for his part in the Louisiana
frauds. lie should be brought to trial, and,
upon conviction, he should not only be re-
moved from his present Office, but he should
be disqualified from holding any place uu-
der the Government Of the United States.
