In letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer concern
ing the French case, 'Jayhawker' says
To the disinterested spectator it would seem that
there is occasion to hear Mr. Frenchs side of the
case, the testimony offered against him was suf
icent not only to acqut him. but to commend him to
his superiors and the public. The testimony given
in the local press has been unfair because it not
printed as given In fact it was garfield all the way
through.
1t might occur to a modest man thence it es
capped ''Jayhawker') that in a contrast of verae-
ity with reporters for the indianapolis press,
'Jayhawker7 would come off badly wOrsted.
All things considered, the public will not waste
much time in making up verdict on such an
issue, and it won't be hattering to j. II, W.,
either.
CARD FROM SrR. wooDARD.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The editor of the News seeks to involve me in
a controversy with the reporters, and thus
cuse himself, by charging that 1 have assailed
the veracity of the reporters, because have said
that testimony in the French case was garbed.
l hasten to say that am the last citizen in the
world to assail the reporters l would believe
the naked statement of any one of them just as
quickly as l would his oath.
In reporting the French case, but two
papers had reporters present-the Jour
nal and the Sentinel The report
for the News was made by the Sentinel
reporter, while that of the Journal was made
by its own representative. l have not charged
that either of these gentlemen lied. | said
their reports were unfair because they did not
print-the testimony as given, using only such as
they thought was evidence against French But,
if had charged the two reporters with lying,
it can hardly be asserted that they are the en-
tire reportorial corps of the city. Because the
News printed second hand news it should not
feel bad and call an humble, though truthful,
person like myself liar STILL if they want in
teresting understanding that the public
hungers for-they can find it in printing my
name. If it will help the paper, l am too gener
Gus to ask them to withhold the mention of
j. H. WooDARD.
$50 far as the abstract of evidence published in
the Journal is concerned, all we have to say is
that nobody but Mr.. Woodland has ever taken ex-
ceptions to its fairness and correctness 1t did
not assume to be verbatim report, LuJ simply
an abstract. The only complaint of any pub
lished testimony in an Indianapolis paper
was made by Mr., Cole, Mr.. Woodlands princi-
pal reliance in his defense of Mr.. French, and
that complaint was not against the Journal
There is not shadow of warrant for the asser
ton that the evidence in the Journal has been
garfield contrary statement is false in purpose
and in fact-ED JOURNAL

AT Bodie, Cal, Friday evening, n
number Of armed men took forcible pos
session of Lonis, Cohn. dry goods mer-
chant, and marched him to the Bodie &
Benton Railroad round house, when,
without further ceremony, they ,tarred
and feathered him and sent him off down
the canyon. Rumors bad been floating
around all day that something would be
done to Cohn, aud good deal Of ex-
element prevailed. The cause of the
affair was an accusation made by a
young girl, about 10 years old, the
daughter Of n railroad conductor named
W. ii. Beadle, that Cohn had invited
her into room back OF his store and
had exposed his person and attempted
to violate her chastity. Cohn was ter
ribly frightened and cried Justify while
in the hands Of the mob, which number.
ed over 100 men aud declared himself
innocent. A good many thought the
crowd were too summary in their treat
ment OF CohD, and that he should have
had n trial Of some sort, while others
thought he got of cheaply.

The Carson Appeal comes out with
the comforting assurance that: THE
failing, of lot Of big money spectators
on Wall street is good thing. 1t will
check wild speculation. Don't forget
that the money is not destroyed and
there is just as much wheat to the acre
all over the country as ever"
And the Appeal is eminently correct.
Legitimate business established on a
legitimate basis rarely experiences any
serious shock from the bursting of huge
speculative bubbles at the great money
centers. The alarm which usually man
nests itself among all classes on bearing
OF Wall street "panic," is akin to the
'ddicrous excitement OF the Hoosier at
hearing of the bursting of one OF the old
time free Banks, when strict search
disclosed the fact that he had mt a single
note Of that particular Bank-nor Of
any other.

An UNEQUAL CONTEST.

Mr.! !Tilden has said that in order to
secure the fruits of National Demo-
cratic victory in will be neces ,ary to
elect their candidate for the Presidency
by at least two third vote, SO that there
can be no possibility of dispute as To his
title. The wisdom displayed in that re-
mark is now becoming manifest from
the actions and expressions of certain
prominent Republicans in the East who
are doing their utmost to verify the dec
laration Of the Sage of Grapercy that
the issue forced upon the people by the
Republican party in 1876 might just as
well have been settled at that time, ns
later, regardless OF cost.
Referring to this important matter,
the New York Sun says: Nov that
another election is corning on, the ne
cessity for two-thirds majority again
becomes apparent. This is clearly
shown in recent declaration attributed
to Senator Hawley OF Connecticut, the
man whom the Republicans Of that
State wish to elevate to the Presidency.
General Hawley ayers that in fifteen
States Of the Union there is not free
ballot, and of this, he informs the coun-
try, he will make an issue in the Presi-
DENTAL canvass. In other words, il the
Republicans should be defeated, Gen.
Hawley and other leaders of the defeated
party will insist that the election of a
Democrat shall not be admitted as valid
because the votes Of fifteen States do not
suit them; and accordingly they will un-
dertake once more to set aside the will
OF the people, and install Republican
in the White House without regard to
the declared result Of the voting in the
ELECTORAL colleges.
Thus the crime OF 1857 is to be re-
peated, with Gen. Hawley at the head of
the Republican cohorts. Republican
misrule, corruption, and fraud cannot
be got rid OF by less than a two-thirds
majority"

1t is reported from San Francisco
that the various representatives Of the
leading banks of that city, concur in the
opinion that the panic in the East will
have absolutely no effect upon this coast,
except, prehaps, to stiffen rates, which
have been very low for some time past.
They all agree in the opinion, also, that
the panic cannot be of long duration,
because. of the fact that the balance of
trade has been SO long in favor Of the
United States thai, The country is in a
condition TO stand much greater shock
than this. They also point out the fact
that the value of all lands are SO low
that they cannot reach point much
lower.
If the present prices demanded for
land in California are considered low,
what III the name Of imitation would
be considered high?
