That gentleman sworc on Wednesday evening
that he did not know beforehand the particu-
lars of Pelton's purpose in going to Baltimore
and was very much astOnished when he re-

be, and went away with the impression that
the money would he forthcoming. lie added
that he cautioned Mr.. Cooper to say nothing
about il to Mr.. Tiden The Issue of veracity
thus presented il clear and bold. We pre-
sumo that few will bc in doubt how TO decide
it.
When the South Carolina scheme was cx-
posed Mr.. TiIdcn censurcd his nephew with
extreme severity. Nh Cooper also condemned
the trade on moral grounds. In ten days the
houcfui nephew WAS at work again
in the same business, this time trying
to buy the Florida Board through the
instrumcntalty of Marble and Woollcy. Where
did he expect to get the money for this pur-
chase. after Mr.. Cooper had repulscd the
previous schcmcl Oh from Mr. Cooper and
