Since the withdrawal of Mr.. JefIiics

The Vernon Condenser asks the
Echo for the reasons which actuated
it in transferring its support from
Nichols to McEnery. The Echo stated
them plainly in the issue in which
Gov. McEnery's name was hoisted at
its masthead. At that time General
Nichols had not intimated his pur
pose to accept the nomination if ten
dered him, but had declined, as he
did the other day in the Pcayuno, to
become candidate. Not being among
those who professed to believe that
Louisiana was doomed unless Gen.
Nichols was called upon to assume
the affairs of state, the ECHo took
the honorable gentleman at his word,
and joined the supporters of the pres
ent able governor. In the first article
which appeared in these columns on
this question, it was distinctly stated
that Gov. McEnery was the EoHo's
second choice. If there is any incon-
sistency in the position of the ECno,
as the Condenser intimates, that jour
nal will please state wherein it exists.

1t certainly would be gratifying to
Gov. McEnery and his friends to see
with what mention of his candidacy
and fitness for reelection to the high
pontion SO ably filled by him since his
accession on the death of Gov. Wilt
has been received. 4 sure sign of the
worthiness of a public official is for his
enemies to throw dirt and endeayOr to
create in the public mind n iistrust Of
his capacity and honesty for the posi-
tion filled by him. Such distrust
those opposed to the selection of Gov.
McEnery would now create. Bnt I'M
fortunately for the success of their
Vaccinations the foothoId of Gov.
McEnery in the affections Of the peo-
pie is of too firm a basis to be shaken
by them. The record of S. d. McEnery
is too clear to be blotched, and his
strength as gnbeFnatorial ruler too
solid to be broken.
Called to the responsible position
as Chief Executive of Louisiana, at a
time when a firm hand was needed to
guide the state fec from the breakers
which surrounded it, be evinced from
the first the nerve, cool Judgment and
discrimination so much needed by the
pilot. The ship Of state under his guild
anee has ridden the pillows with sue

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Hill Gnvesti-
eating Committee resumed its session.
Thomss, counsel for Hill, objected to the
Charges fled by Murch Ipon the ground tn At
they are not specific and definite, whereupon
Coleman, counsel for Murcb. submitted
specific charge that in 1877 II entered into
certain contracts when we're grossly unfair
TO the government, IN that be agreed 10 pay
certain contractors far in excess of the real
value of the N aterials furnished and the
work TO be perlo med. In support OF ihis
charge, VIM. q. Stsiome'z, Of New York,
(sXpert), was called to testify relative 10 the
construction of the public building at Phila-
deIphia. He explained TO the committee the
difference between quarry dimensions and
net dimensions; the former beIHg the CUBIC
dimensions of stone as taken from the quarry
aud the latter the cubic dimensions based
upon the spzce which the stone will occupy
in the building. SteiDmetz stated that 10
making contracts il was the custom to stipu-
,te the dimensions. In the case of the
Pnilsdelphia building Hin had contracted
Tor quarry dimensions AID in this way coui-
PEELED the government 10 pay greatly 10
excess OF he market value OF the stone sctu-
ally used. H further tesifed that he had
r AIDE computations from the plans furnished
him in the architects Office on the Philadel
Taia building on the actual cost of several
ones and the market value of the same,
b ised upon their true or net dimensions. He
i1stanced an example, explaining from draw
ipgs, that one stone, which cost the govern
n.snt s85, contract price, being S5S in excess
Of the true value OF the stone, and another
which coet the government SI29, when the &C
al cost, allowing fifty per cent profit to tie
cJntractor, should have been bat S56, the ex
c 50 paid by the government in this instance
b ing s73. SteiDme'z stated If time were
allowed him he could, by computing each
one, show the aggregate amount paid by
the government for the stone used in this
I aildiug in excess OF the market value.
Coleman stated TO the~<nlapittse that il
y Is the purpose cf the prosecution. OF the
c ,se Of this Pniladelphia building 10 show
Tie amount Of money which the government,
Trough HilPs contracts, had been compelled
to pay 10 excess OF the market value Of the

THE BRIDGE PANIC.
a Verdict Returned by the CorOner's
Jury Ia the cases of fheTwEIve
Victims.

NEW YORK, June 5.-The Brooklyn bridge
disaster inquest was continued this afternoon.
The acting president OF the Bridge Trustees
testified that there we're fifty per cent. less
people On The bridge at the time of the acci-
d. n than on previous days All the police
men in the city could not have s,enimed the
tide Of humanity that rushed over the slair-
waT at the time of the panic. The people
would not obey the police officers, but were
absolutely crszsd with fear. He did not see
how stairwsys could be done away with, apd
they we're not built with view Of lessening
any expense. The weakest part of the bridge,
which is near the anchorage, was capable Of
sustaining $1,000 tons. The most weight which
the bridge will have TO bear Is estIols' ed at
100, so it could be considered IS absolutely
safe.
Detective O'Connor thought ten police men
in uniform could have slemmed the panic
and averied the catrssiroHhe.
J. B Kirchoff, of Brooklyn, thought The
panic WAS due to the action of the bridge po-
licemen, who ordered the crowd TO go back
20 New York, This bringing about the crush
The j1rv, after an hours deliberation, re-
turned with a verdict, in which they fouad
that "The death of the victims resulted from
sufvcation by being trsmpled upon" and
they SO found the "officers and trustees re-
prehensib.e" in not having the bridge prop

A GORGEOUS SCENE.
The "A Ain Tent of R.roum's Great Show
BurE0d AT Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 5.-When an alarm was
turned ON at 2 o'clock this morning, caused
by the discovery that Bsrnum's circus was
on FIRE, the Department responded quickly,
but before any engines wsrs brought into
action The destruction Of the main tent was
complete. Several streams played on the
blsza, and succeeded in pre- venting the spread
of the FIRE to the adjoining canvas, under
which were the cages Of tbs wild beasts. The
flames ran up the canvas 10 the center poles
IN a twinkiing, and a gorgeous SCENE was
presented on the lake front for few mo-
meuts, Michigan aveSue for blocks being as
light ss day, while the shipping lying in the
hsrb0r was clearly outlined. The tugs in
the harbor added to the uproar by the incss-
SAINT screaming oil their whistles. The can
vas and guy rope being destroyed, the center
poles were precipitated to the grouBd,
crushing private boxes and carrying
the FIRE in among the reserved seats, entail
ing their almost complete destruction. The
night watchmsa in charge of the stable tents
was appraised in time to enable the hostlers
TO lead out all the horses quietly. The wild
animals had all been locked up for the mig hi,
and as they could not see the flames, were in
no sepsa psnie.slricken, although the smell
OF smoke appeared to excite some of them.
