The Returning Board
HOW }. MADISON WELLS DEFENDS
HIMSELF.
His Bold Charges of Prejudice and Per-
jury.

NEW YORK, February -. j. Madison Wells in
a long article, defends himself. He says five
grand Jurles refused to find indicm ent against
him at the behest of the Attorney General and the
prosecution now is on information. He says the
indicted defaulter, Judge Whitaker, is the central
tool OF Louisiana traitors to prosecute him.
Whitaker stated before Anderson s,trisl that the
Jury was packed for conviction, aud that all mo
tons before MIN for removal of the cause from
his jurisdiction would be oveIrulcd. Nine jurors
IN the t'isl swore they were prejudiced against
the prisoner, yet they were made to serve. Two
had declared openly that Anderson ought to be
hanged. During the greater part of the trial
Judge Whitaker WAS in beastly state of intoxi-
cation.
Wells also SAYS ogden made every effort TO
have the grand ja'y indict the returning board
even to taking Judge Whitaker before the grand
jury, and threatening to incarceIae witnesses for
Lot testfving as Ogden desired but the grand
jury woult not indct the board.
The Assistant Attorney General Egan is under
indictment for murder ing his brotnctln-law, Con-
asse aud stuart, Witnesses are liars, and Burke is

The names Of the jurors were furnished by the
democratic COMMITTEE.
All changes made in Vernon Parish returns
must have been made by democrats. All court
officers have thrown every obstacle in the way to
prevent \ udeiso and Wells from producing wit

Of both parties that such a .tep should be taken
and indeed ii is contemplated in the resolve that
both Iarties shall be represented. During tie
brief session Ct the Legislature, no alcquae cV-
animation could be given to a subject of grave
a nature; the commission Of three competent
gentlemen, with authority to visit the locality aud
gain access to the records, woulI be sure to ar
rive at facts upon which decisive verdict may be
rendered. If the loose manner of voting in Aroos
took county continues, the day may not be far
removed when the will of the majority Of the
people of the State of Maine may he thwAted by

Mr.. Hale went on TO say there was Q profound
impression that the proceeding in Louisiana had
its roots, its main spring, i,s source elsewhere
that there were many who believed that the whole
performance was dictated and driven forward BY
restless men who did not mean ever to admit the
presidential title had been settled. There had
oeen no encouragement which could be held GU,
TO that section showing the PRESIDENTS good faith
which the President had not resorted to.
In conclusion he intmsted that it might be the
constitutional duty Of the President to see that no
injustice was done citizen of the United States.
