was bulldozed worse than almost any other in the
State. Anderson himself had assigned as the
reason for not making the protest required oy
law before leaving East Felicisna Parish, that he
feared that his life would be taken u he did
SO. Ii is very easy TO believe, therefore, that
il he and Weber went to Mr.. sherman, as
A nderson now ssys they did, and told him
of this state of sf.irs, Of the bodily fear they
were in al the disastrous effect upon their for
tunes wh ch was likely to result from their sign
ing the protests, he would have done his best to
resssure them, and he even might have written
the letter, pretended copy OF which Anderson
produced yesterday, with perfect good faith and
without a suspicion of wrong. There certainly
could not be anything criminal in promise that
if men who did their dDty honestly and fesrlessly
in regard to the Louisans election were driven
out of the State. and ruined financially, they
should be taken of in the event of the success
of the republican party.
Supposing the letter in question TO have been
written by Secretary Sherman under these CIR
cumstsnces. there is nothing in 1t of which he
need to be ashamed.
Mr.. SHBRMAS's POSITIVE DENIAL.
Secretary Sherman positively denies all Of And
ersons te stimony in which he preteAds to give the
substance of a conversation with the secretary IN
New Orleans. In conversation this evening Mr..
Sherman also reiterated his denial of the writing
of his alleged letter. He pointed to its internal
evidence of clumsy construction, quoting its sec
ond sentence ("Nether Mr.. Hayes, myself, the
gentlemen who accompany me, or the country at
large can ever forget" etc., and invited attention
to the curious use of ''neither" and "or," which
he said was of piece with the spelling of the
word document with "k" in the draft prepared
by Anderson for his Telegram to Stanley Mat
thews.
Mr.. Sherman said further that he thought it
would soon be shown and proved beyond all possi-
bility of donbt or contraventlon, not only by what
persons that spurious document was forged, but
also in what place the forgery was committed, aud
what objects the perpetrators hoped to attain by
their cume.
Mr.. Sherman said it was very strange indeed to
him that the alleged letter should ever have OBJ
tanned the slightest credence whatever, especially
when it is remembered that Anderson had never
shown it or spoken Of it to himself or to Stanley
Matthews in his applications for position. The very
first thing he would have done would have been to
use it, and use it effectively as it was his sharpest
weapon But even in his last interview with Mr..
Sherman at the Treasury Department, when the
lstters private senogI apher took down what
passed, Anderson never claimed that he had such
a document. Indeed, in his testimony, Anderson
distinctly stated that he had not spoken of or used
the alleged letter. The only thing to be rejected
in this whole business 10, the Secretary said, that
Stanley Matthews should have allowed himself
through ignorance. to be partly imposed upon and
used by these scoundres.

Wednesday Morning, June 5, 1878.
One Day of the Investigation.

The opening day of the investigation was
chiefly taken up with the examination
of James f. Anderson of Louisiana. An
derson was Supervisor of Registration for
East Feliciana Parish in Louisiana. in
1876. 1t appears by his testimony that he
was bribed to periure himself and make
a false protest in regard to the election
in his parish, by which the Returning
Board were enabled to exclude the vote
of that parish This he testities he was
induced to do by leading republicans,
such as Secret lry Sherman, Stanley Mat
thews, and others, who promised him that
he should be rewarded with office by
HAYES If he became Presidenf.
The testimony of such a man, unless
corroborated by other evidence of reli-
able character is entirely worthless. A
man who will perjure himself to obtain
an office is not entitled to belief in any
of his statements under any circumstan-
ces. If he will perjure himself for Mr..
sherman lOT piouil>c VI ic"hiu hO VIII
do the same for Mr.. Tilden if well paid.
Anderson failed to obtain the reward from
HAYES which he says he was promised,
and so he undelt ,ok II bull-doze the
administration at first, in order to compel
il to buy him up and falling in this he be-
toek himself to Mr.. Tilden for market
He is by his own showing great rascal.
He saw an opportunity as he imagined to
drive a sharp bargain in regard to the
election in his parish and attempted to do
it, though his path led through base false
hood and the violation of his sacred oath.
He attempts to escape from his dilemma
by saying that the protest filed and issued
before the Returning Board was for
gery, different from the one which he
signed, but this is fatty contradicted by the
statement he made before the Senate COM
mittee in January 1877, as will be made
10 appear in due time.
The letters from Stanley Matthews are
no credit to that gentleman. They may
not be evidence that he intended corrup-
ton in order to carry his point. but they
show weak head If not a depraved heart.
No enemy of President Hayes. open or Sc
cret, has been so hurtful to him and his
administration as this same Stanley Mat
thews.
The investigation Is not done with Sec
retary Sherman. He will be able to
show, it is said. beyond doubt, that the let
ter attributed to him is forgery, and
where, when and by whom it was COM
mitted. The testimony has no bearing
whatever upon the title of President
Hayes. 1t has in no way connected the
President with alleged frauds, nor does it
invaldate in the least the action of the Re-
turning Board. Their act in excluding the
returns of the East Feliciana parish rested
upon the fact that intimidation was prac-
tced against the republicans, of which
there is not a doubt, and which was
even admitted by Anderson in his testi-
mony before the investigating committee

CRUEL SLAUGHTER.

We never see gay plume or feather in
lady's hat without thinking of the little
life that paid for it. For every decoration
of this kind there is one bird the less. If
the plumage of hawks and such birds only
was used it would not matter SO much, but
our useful, insect-sating birds, including
those social birds which prefer to build
near our dwellings, are indiscriminately
slaughtered, and everything that can fly,
from humming-bird upward, finds a
ready sale to meet the demands of this
fashion. So we say that those women
who wear the plumage of our useful birds
for ornaments are, unintentionally, it is
true, enemies to agriculture. Every bird
thus sacrificed means so many more insects
and more insects means less grain and
other field crops, less fruit in the orchard
and fewer vegetables in the garden. Why
will not women put stop to this murder
of the innocents ? Let every one refuse to
wear these feather ornaments. Aside from
the economical view-and it has a direct
bearing upon agriculture and horticulture
we are sure no one of proper feelings
would wish to adorn her person at the
cost of happy creature which, when
alive, was most likely useful, and at any
rate added to the beauty of the world.
You who read this, would you destroy the
life of bright singing bird? If you wear
the spoils it is proof that some one has
done it for you! The case needs only
to be stated for all sensible women to FORE
60 such ornaments and let the birds i've
We hope that this appeal will not be made
in vain.

THAT "sgLyER CRtzE -

During the pendency Of the "Silvcr
Bill in Congress the Eastern press, and
especially those great "thunderers" in
New York, denounced the idea of re-
monetizing silver as "craze" Its ad-
vocatcs were called idiots, lunatics,
swindlers and repudiators. And, to in
tensify these amiable epithets, they were
called WESTERN idiots, swindlers, &c.
At the same time these metropolitan
thunderers of the sheet-iron order-and
who mostly thundered in the index
donned prophetic drapery and foretold
direful things that would happen to the
world should Congress enact this "silver
craze" into a law. TYhey told us that
bonds would go down and that gold
would go up. They told us that by
making silver to become money the
European bondholders would rush our
bonds home in such quantities as to glut
the market, stife trade and sufocate the
people.
Well, Congress did enact that "silver
craze" into law, and by a majority of
more than two-thirds, over the Presi-
dents veto, and without party dis
tinction. Now, to fulfill the woful
predictions of those omniscient gold
buggers, all those direful calamities
should be full upon u.s. But, have they
come? Not bit of it. The Secretary of
the Treasury, with his usual oracular wis
dom that invariably reads both ways, has
said there is time enough yet for all these
mischiefs to come. But, fortunately,
the more time passes the more they don't
come. Instead of gold rising and bonds
falling, just the opposite has occurred.
Since silver was again made money, gold
has fallen and bonds have risen. To-day
the greenback circulation is within one
half of one per cent. on par with gold.
This is equal to fall in the price of gold
of about one per cent. since silver was
ren!onetized.
|. is true that when the passage of the
The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1878-04-15

Silver Bill became known there was a
considerable return of eur Government
bonds from Europe, amounting, as some
state it, to $60,o00,000. But, instead of
glutting the market AMI sitting trade,
they were all rapidly taken at home, and
call made for "more." But the Euro
pean holders, some of whom had become
panicky by reading the outery of the
New York papers, finding that our bonds
were wanted at home, Immediately
stopped their rush of bonds homeward,
and they forthwith took a rise in the
European markets, They discovered
that, though scared, there was nobody
hurt by the silver money law.
We must, however, remember that the
larger proportion of the bonds actually
returned to us from Europe are not sent
here for conversion into coin on Euro
pean account, and the gold sent away
in payment; but such bonds are
thus sent forward and used as
a mode of remittance to meet the balance
OF trade, as among merchants, in favor of
this country and against Europe. That
mode of remittance is easier and safer
than remittance by gold. Consequently
the proceeds of such bonds belong to our
own people, ard do not return to Euro
pean Capitalists. The more of our bonds
that are returned to us by this process of
remittance so much the better for us; be-
cause both the principal and interest
thereon, payable in coin, remain among
our own people, and do not return to
swell foreign capital and diminish our
own.
So that, in no respect have the predic-
tions of the Eastern gold buggers been
fulfilled, as the results of their "silver
craze" On the contrary, the views of
those "Western idiots, swindlers, repu-
diationists," and sich, have been con-
tirmed by the logic of events following
the reconciliation Of silver. Even the
Secretary of the Treasury, formerly the
most rabid of the gold buggers, has init
mated growing fondness for silver, and
comedies that it will afford material aid in
his favorite scheme of resumption. The
fact is, that "silver craze" very plainly
has "a method in it" that is working well
for the country.
