-GardeId's Testimony Pes5tTed.
The facts in regard 10 Mr. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames To take ten shares
of Credit Mobilier stock. but did not pay
Tor the same. MIR. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and
ssld them for ninety-seven per cent, ana
also received the sixty per cent cash divi-
dend, which together with the price OF
the stock and interest, LEFT balance Oh

and Mr.. Garfield then Understood this

dictions OF testimony.
From ne NetD York Times. FEB. ~, 1913.
The character OF the Credit Mobilier was
no secret. The source OF its profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought II. Though Oakes Ames may nave
succeeded in eoncealing his own motive,
which was TO bribe Congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock WAS not on tina
account innocent. The dishonor OF the
act, as a participation in an obvious fraud
still remains.
some Of them have INDUCED In testi-
mony with reference To the matter Wnicn
has been contradicted. The committee

the members This Gun only be done on ne
ground that Il is untrue. But untrue teai-
nl0Slg given under oath Is morally, v not
legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty OF Congress to visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobilier stock from Cakes Ames.
FroD. the NeW York Tribune, FEB. 10, 1873
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten
shares never paid dollar; received $50,
which, after the investigation began. he
was anxious 30 have considered as a loan
from Mr.. Cakes Ames To himself.
Wen. the wickedness of all OF 1t is that
these men betray ed the trust OF the peo-
pie, deceived their constituents, and by
evasions and falsehoods confessed the

The Attempted Fraud In Maine,

Colonel John X. Fellows, who has |
been five weeks in Maine speaking for |
the Union ticket, was at Democratic |
headquarters, aud said Of the result in
that state: ''The Unionsts undoubt d
ly elected a majority in the state legisla-
ture Of Maine, but in every close dis
trict the Republicans ueed the canvass
lug boards which were under their con-
troll, to the very best advantage for their
candidates, and have succeeded in chang
lug Union legislature TO Republican.
Samuel J. Anderson PROFESSIONALLY re
celyed more votes than Mr. Reed for
Congress. A fraudulent count was nee.
essary to defeat him, if he is defeated
If Mr.. Reed is declared elected there
Will certainly be contest for the SEAL
Mr.B aine's despatch TO Mr. .Garfield was
simply a weak attempt to break his fall
| Not dollar was used by the Unionists
on election day. On the other hand the
Republican means were limitless. They
had more than five dollars to every one
at the command of the Unionists. The
Republicans openly bought up all the
purchasable votes at the polls, paying
any price demanded. They used every
fundamentally III their power. They
| compelled Republican cleTgymen to pre-
side at their meetings in order to work
i'll their influence over their congrega-
tions. Liquor sellers were threatened
with punishment for violation of the
Prohibition law, if they did not vote and
work lor their candidates and were
promised that indictments against them
would not be pressed if they would sup
port the Republicans. The Democratic
party within the state, animated by what
they felt was a certain victory in No
venber, contributed more freely to the
campaign f1nd than usual. We proba-
bly, had about $4,000 to conduct the
campaign with, and 1t was emo Oh. In
Ma lie, the alderman of cities and the
selectmen of towns have control OF the
check or registration lists and struck of
democratic names upon the most frivo
lous pretenses before election. In one
town l27 names of legal voters WERE
thus striker off. The law requires three
months residence in the county. Tw,
young men had been employed in {
town near Portland and had resided
there II ore than year. Their name.
were stricken off from the voting list Of

years of age had no business to resid,

ter the close OF the polls, when 1t became
evident that the election was so larg, L.

denly stopped and the expert figuring
b-ean. There was plain effort to man

polls and to naturalize the Florida plal

The ROAD TO THE DELAWARE
The National Dredging Company are
now taking the most judicious course
toward building substantial highway
from the heart of this city to the Della
ware River that has ever been attempted,
and deserve the CO operation Of the City
Council and every one who has the
interests of the city at heart. This
company has at its disposal all the ma
chinery and material to complete the
work they have commenced in a very
brief period. People from abroad will
be astonished, we are confident, that
this improvement has not been made
long ago. 1t has been urged for thir-
ty years. But no such real effort
made toward it's accomplishment as
has been commenced by this company.
The matter was before the City Coun-
Gil last evening, and that body very
wisely, we think, appointed commit
tee on the subject, and directed the
Chief Engineer of the Surveying De-
partment to render it all the assistance
in his power. 1t is hoped that the
Council will do nothing to interfere
with the progress of the work under
taken by the Dredging Company
They are improving their own lands,
and at the same time making great
progress toward building road from
the Delaware River to the city.

THOSE we'll meaning and honest

that the Governor is unfortunate on

another four years, and, in the Ian
guage of the street, "they are kick
ing" accordingly. They should re-
member that no Governor of Louis-
ana has ever commenced his admin
istration under such grave Difficult
ties. The untoward circumstances
by which he is surrounded should
be appreciated by all right minded

Owing to unforeseen circumstances
the tableau which was to form so

engaged in mailing circular letters to
the clerks of Parishes throughout the
State, transmitting blank forms Of
oaths of office to be taken by the re
Gently appointed members Of ParisI,

have been properly taken, the forms
will be Immediately mailed to the Su-
perinteDdent's office, when commis-
sions will be duly issued In case any
person appointt d as School Director
declines to serve, another appointment
will as soon as possible be made. Su-
perintendent Fay is determined to rem
der the system of Public Schools in
this State lis efficient as circumstances
will permit, in as short u time as pos
sible. When oaths have been admin.
istered Boards may organize, but Su.
perintendent Fay suggests that the
election of Parish Superintendent and

ORR CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

Col. VIM. NJ. Levy, ex offlcio chair
man of the Congressional Executive
Committee, has fixed the time and
place for the meeting of the Con
eressional Committee, and Monday,
the 5th day Of July is the time, and
the Town Of Natchitoches the place.
We suppose they have been notified
of the fact, though we have not, as
yet, seen any notice of the call in a
single paper in the District, and get
tue above information from short
paragraph in the New Orleans Dem
Ocrdt TO that effect.
Col. J. C. Wise, our worthy and
esteemed representative, is the mem
Der to whose interests Rapides is in
trusted. and we can before hand state
most assuredlY that he will attend
and we trust every Parish will be re-
presented by the member in person
and that no proxies will be toisted
on the Committee. The selection oil
candidate to be the standard bearer
of the Democracy in the approach
ing contest, is no holiday task ant
the Committee can give proper elan
and responsibility to their plain du
ties by the early selection of the day
for the meeting of the Convention
and ordering the only basis of repre-
sentation therein admissible and fai
according to the time honored usa
ges Of the party. This usage un
fortunately, to use very mild term
was departed from at the late Stat
Convention, which we deprecated
and denounced at the time, and agail
pronounce the action of the lat
State Committee unwarranted an
suicidal. Therefore, let US keep II
true Democratic line, stunning til
schemes of so-called rings land &C
in concert for the sole benefit of tn
State, which is after all true Demoe
racy, and under the guidance 9
r these counsels we can but win.

FOURTEENTH OF SEPTEMBER !,
IT'S PATRIOTIC AND LEGITIMATE CHAR
ACTER DECLARED BY THE
SUPREME COURT.

Henry Street and nine other plain
lifts joining together sued the city
of New Orleans for damages alleged
to have been done to their property,
in this city, on the 14th, 10Th, 18th
and 18th of September, 1874, by a
hody of rioters who took violent pos
session of the State House aud other
public buildings. The case was tried
by jury who rendered verdict in
favor OF the defendant. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court by
the plaintiffs and decision was rem
dered upon it yesterday, delivered by
Justice Poclle.
The court says that the alleged
"mob" was we'll organized body Of
citizens and patriots, acting under
the orders Of, and in obedience 10, a
State government ordained by the
people and welding legitimate pow
Ell. and that those citizens were ex-
ercising the sacred right OF resis-
lance to oppression and usnrpation,
under which their dearest rights
were being destroyed.
The occurrences Of the 14th Of
September, although they failed to
bear the fruits which Immediately
resulted from the events Of the 9th
of January, 1877, from which the
true government Of the State sprang
into life, were not more than the lat
ter the deeds of mob or Of riotous
assemblage.
Both are marked epochs in the his.
tory OF Louisiana, Of which We take
judicial coguizauee, and neither
could entail any liability for dam
ages on the city Of New Orleans, be-
cause by accident she happened TO
be the scene Of the two movements.
J, Besides, at that time, the city au-
thorities had no control over the po-
lice force, which, under the laws, was
part Of the existing State govern
ment. 1t is shown that on the lAth
Of September the police force OF New
, Orleans had been removed by the
State authorities from it's post Of le-
gitimate duty and converted into a
, militia brigade, etc.; that armed and
equipped and Differed as for war, it
; was Married out to dispense the it
> zens who had assembled to petition
and demonstrate against the abuses
> and outrages rerpetrated by the
r usurping State government. Judg-
ment is therefore affirmed. q N. @
