William Pitt Kellogg is - present .
Congressman from Louisiana and
formerly was Governor and United
States Senator. De has Just been
found guilty Of receiving $4,000 from
Star-ronte contractor named j. b.
Price, and acquitted. The paradox of
the assertion is only apparent. The
payment of the money and the payment
of it to Kellogg for his influence in get
ting a contract were not only proved,
but admitted; the offense was de-
monstrated and confessed. But because
the transaction took place five years
ago, it was held to be barred by the
statute of limitations. The court,
thereupon, directed the acquittal OF
Kellogg.
1t may be asked. how did the Law
Department of the Federal Administra-
ton come to arraign this man on de-
fective Indictment 1t will never be
possible to say whether this was by &C.
cident or design. The indictment put
the date of the reception of the bride at
June 16, 1879. 1t was shown that at
the date named Kellogg cashed the
drafts given to him as bribery money
aud that was not quite five years ago.
But it was also shown that he received
the drafts about three months before he
cashed them. The court held that the
reception of the drafts was the date OF
the Lritery, not the time when they
were turned into money. The Admins
tration lawyers declare that they did
not know the drafts were three months
old when cashed; but the informer
Price, on whom they relied for convic-
ton, swore on the stand that he told the
Government counsel that very fact.
1t is miserable business Kellogg
has been acquitted because his crime
has "aged;" the indictments against
Price have been nClled, because he
turned informer, albeit useless in
former, and all the remaining charges
against Brady have been Cancelled. be-
cause, since the nolleing of the indict-
ments against himself, Price declares
he will not be a witness any more. An
even month before the Chicago Con-
vention, the Arthur Administration
presents the last of the Star-routers
with . complete acquittal. The fur
Their announcement is that Kellogg and
the rest of the Louisiana delegation to
the Republican National Convention
have declared for Arthur.
Such incompetcncy and corruption
combined ought to injure the Admins
tration with its party, but so far it has
only gained it delegates. A more con-
demning commentary on political Re-
publicanism than these facts make
could not be made. As for Kellogg,
there is nothing in his previous career
which conflicts with the offense just
admitted Ivy him. and only by a habit
and history of such ofenses has he
been able to keep his place in the or
gained crime, which goes by the name
OF Republicanism in Louisiana
baay argus.
