Daily Republican., 1879-01-01

the NOV ementS OF the leiiNi ih'oo"S@3
ting committee. 1t says:
at is as we anticipated. The Sen
ate Committee, do not intend to inves'l
gate the election frauds in P-nnsy' wanna
New York and Massach usetts, If they
can help it. Already sub committee
il off for New Orleans. These investi-
gators 20 with a heavy purse OF TIA"
peoples money. and they will have
happy time in the Crescent city whl'r
II lasts. The poor TX rebels Will as
usual be foolish enough to entertain
.hsn at great expense"
Well now this is ,teo bad. to think that
the Senate Committee won't 60 up
north wher. there have been so many
intimidatons and murders, instead of
down to New Orleans and Charleston
where every thing has been lovely,
and honest; where no ex-rehel has ever
lifted hand or uttered word to pre-
vent Republican from voting, and
voting for whom he pleases. And then
our neie Dor laments that the commit
tee have gone with full urse of the
people's money, but it has no word of
complaint against the Potter investiga-
ting committee which has already spent
its $40, 300, running around to seaside
resorts pretending to hunt up Republi
can election frauds by which It says
Tilden was cheated out of his election
but which committee has made no
movement to investigate the TiIden CT
pher kilograms which fully expose the
attempt to cheat Hayes who was law
fully elected, out OF the Presidency.
And then these poor eX-rebels will be
so foolish as to entertain that committee
at great expense, is another grievance
which vexes our neigh Dor soul. Moth
ing short Of coming north first 1t Seems
will please him. He would have no
objection to them being Toasted and
teted at Saratoga and Niagara until the
Fourth of March when this term Of
Congress expires, if only he could keep
them from going down South. He
would much rather that the committee
would go to New York, and find out
how the poor innocent lamb like Demo
Gratis of that city were murdered and
driven from that city, by the blood
thirsty and fendish Republicans, to
keep them (the Democrats) from voting
tn. Democratic ticket. But our neig Tor
ne d not be- uneasy. The committee
will in all probability WIND up i'll the
north. 1t has a Republican chairman,
and will push matters briskly, not try
ing how not to do thing, but going
directly to the root of the matter and
bringing the naughty doings Of all par
ties to the surface. And then our
neigh Dor should recollect that there is
al Appropriateness in the committee
beginning at New Orleans, for there,
there is positive Democratic testimony
By Col. Zachary who is one of Governor
Nichols chief counseItors, that the re-
port that forty or fifty colored men wrre
killed in the Tensas Parish election IL
ots was talarhoOd. He (Col. Zachary
had Investigated the matter and he
found that i'll one sCrlu.mage only about
is something tangible to begin with, for
the Democratic evidence is positive that
at least a dozen men were killed. If
there had been a dozen or more DemO.
crats killed up in Pennsylvania, New
York and Massach usetts, in one scrim-
mage We should jolr hands with the
Ga=ettc and urge that the committee 20
north first But it will come out all
r,gnt yet, 50 don't tr-t neigh Dor. Those
dear tx rebels down south can easil y
prove even in the presence Of hecatomfs
Of bloody victims, that there was no
violence in the South. When men like
Hamburg Butcher Butler who disgraces
a seat IN tue United States Senate,
stands up at his desk and denies that
he has any knowledge Of any intimida-
tlon in South Carolina, the honest peo-
pie Of the nation know he lies or if he
don't lie, he shows that he is too ig.
norant to b" Senator. This Hamburg
Senator needs vindication, and the ia
zetto should nor object to the committee
going south fir~t to viniicate the Gd-
zette's "poor TX rebels"
