1t would be difficult for ascongreg
ton Of noisy newspapers TO raise
+. greater and more indiscriminatc rack
: than has been made around the ca
of the governor over the charge thu
he had knowingly appointed a forge
TO an Important public office. 7
properly understand this matter in q
its phases it must be kept in mint
that the charge that Messrs. Bres an
Richardson had committed such
crime was made by Col. Fremanx t
the governor fully one year after h
(Col. Frcmcaux) became fully acquaint
ed with all the facts; that he made
then, not with the purpose of secu1
ing the enforcement OF the law, tn
ends of justice and the punishment o
the criminals, but for the purpose o
directing the disposal of an appoint
ment to a public office; that haviu.
failed in accomplishing that end b,
making the charge privately to tn,
governor he now makes it, or it i
made in his authority, publicly tt
politically ruin the governor
1t must be further kept In view
that the governor distinctly states
that after investigating the matter he
did not believe the party agains
whom the charge was aimed wa,
guilty of any criminal intent. Thus
it appears by his own statement now
and in 1882, that Col. Fremeaux be-
lieves that Bres, his own clerk, and J
! G. Richardson committed forgery in
1880 or 1881; that he was fully aware
of the fact and all the circumstances
of it, at or about the time of the com
mission of the crime, and yet not only
did not dcnource the crime to 4 com
uniting magistrate or to a district At
torney, but kept his knowledge of it
secret for upwards of year.
Between the Judgment Of Col.
FremeauX and that Of GOV. MrEnery
there was evidently a radical difference
as to the nature Of this TRANSACTIONS
