NINE FoRoERIEs.--The Philadelphia
Record Of Saturday, in abiding 10 the
Louisiana frauds says; The Potter In
vestigating Committee yesterday de.
veloped another astounding proof Of
~rascality connected with the electoral
vote of Louisiana. 1t was shown that
in three Of the four sets of returns from
that State the name of one of the cleo
tors was forged nine times. This, with
the Sherman letter, constituted the two
main features Of the investigation as
TAR as it has progressed. The Mat.
tbcws matter is mere b~oy-play.

i. USscRupULoUs DEMAGo0uEs.-Ac-
ting Vice President Ferry has shown
himself aioretime a very INSCRIPTIONS
partisan. His action in placing Sena-
tors Edmunds and Hoar, two members
Of the Electoral Commission, on the
special committee called for by the res
olution of Senator Matthews, will not
detract from his previous reputation.
These gentlemen will DO called upon to
reconsider their own transactions and
sit IN judgement upon themselves, as
there is hardly a doubt but the inves-
tigation will cover the period OF MIR.
Matthews peculiar activity before he
was a Senator and about the time Mr..
Garfield was retired to make room for
him. Why not with the same proprie-
ty put a brother of a horse thief on the
jury trying the case? 1t is reported
that Edmonds has declined to serve.
II so he is the owner of a little more
modesty than the deputy Vice Presl.

Mr.. Hayes has appoined John c.
Fremont, Governor of the Territory
of Arizona. 1t is said that the GEN
eral is badly cramped. financially, and
this act of Mr.. Hayes, in providing for
the first Republican candidate for the
Presidency is a piece of justice that
commends itself to everybody.

ANOTHER MoLLrE MAouraK Huso.-

ANOTHER MoLLrE MAouIRE HUSd.-
Dennis D%onnelly, n Of the Mollie
Maguires convicted of completely ia
the murder OF Sanger, the mine boss,
was hung at Pottsville on Tuesday,
the 18th inst. Donnelly was the man
who instigated the murder, though he
vas not himself an active participant.
Jack Kehoe, who furnished the men
TO commit the murder and directed
their movements, and who also was
convicted of completely in the murder,
still lies under sentence Of death, but
the Governor has not yet signed the
warrant for his execution. Kehoe was
a man of great political influence in
his section, and a great effort was made
to secure his pardon, but without ef.
feet. 1t Is doubtful whether Governor
Hartranft will evcr issue a warrant
Tor his execution. Jacks revelations
would be of the same force as those of
Anderson. He knows too much to be
hung while Hartranft is Governor.

THOSE LETrERs.-Some one has said
that the pen was mightier than the
sword. And yet, behold how many
men handle the former little thing to
their own moral destructiSn. The ed
itor of New York Day BOOK illustrates
our meaning in this way: Probably
ninety.nine ont Of every hundred who
believe Beecber guilty Of the charges
made against him by Tilton, were con-
vinced solely by his own letters and
without any other proofs whatever.
And il will be so in regard to Senator
Matthews letters to Anderson. They
carry with them a moral force that is
Irresistible, not only as regards his own
participation in the Louisiana frauds,
but that Of Hayes, Sherman, Harlan--
all whose names are mentioned IN the
correspondence. Such is the inherent
and almighty potency OF truth, and
such the constitution of the human
mind, that no matter what our selfish
interests or desires in the premises, the
truth is mighty, and mus and does
prevail"

Heavy Armament.

The Chief of Ordnance, General BENET in
his last annual report, informs the Secretary
Of War that the country needs 575 ten-inch
and twenty twelve-inch rife-guns with
which to arm the fortifcations now in readi.
ness to receive them. We quote his Ian
guage:
Besides the eight-inch rifles above referred
to, our forts are now prepared to receive larger
calibers, namely, twenty twelve-inch and
$40 ten.inch rides and Congress ought to ap.
prOpriate money sufficient for making a sub
stantial beginning in this most important por-
tiOn of our armament. There Is OF present
only one establishment in this country capable
of undertaking the construction Of these large
guns The plant Is very expensive. and with
out some encouragement on the part Of the
United States and some degree of permancnCe
in the orders that are to be given annually,
these private parties cannot be expected to
risk the investment Of money to keep the en-
pcnsvc plant in condition for immediate and
efficient work. with no more in prospect than
the disheRrtening uncertainties Of the past de.
cadc consideration Of the urgent wants OF
our sea.COast dricnscs, the length Of time re.
guircd to supply those wants the absolute i'm
possibility Of providing for them in time Of
danger when the events of wears are crowded
into days the wisdom and policy of fostering
our mechanical industries for the manufacture
OF warlike stores in the absence of Ra iovern.
ment foundry, the economy of products which
are the results Of paying orders and steady
labor satisfies me that permanent annual ap.
preparation for the armament Of Qualifications
would DO most JUdicous and satisfactory in the
interest Of the public purse aud the public
service.
General BENEr is the accredited and re-
sponslble officer Of the Government, whose
particular business it is to ascertain the
needs Of the country IN all that appcrtans
to the Ordnance Bureau. and to keep Con-
gress advised, through til: Secretary of
War, Of his views in this regard Having
attended to this duty faithfully, as seems to
be his habit, he very properly leaves the
responsibility where it belongs, viz with
Congress. We, therefore, very respectfully
suggest to that honorable body that forti-
dcations without guns are useless establish
ments, and not likely 10 be erected where
they are not supposed to be needed.
The presumption, therefore, is that the
"iorts now prepared to receive large guns
are, in the opinion of our engineer officers,
