HORRIBLE.

Tlie search for Devine’s Body in the Medical College at Ann Arbor Keveals a Terrible Sight. [Ann Arbor (Mich.) Cor. CincinnatlEnquirer.] CqL Snelbaker arrived Jier# tttoiglit, in search of the body of Toting Devine, of the body of Scott IlurrisOit. Gaining admission to the the janitor went to three large of dead bodies floating in brine, and the inspection began. First he hurled from their places huge rocks which had been placed above to weigh down and keep in place the bodies. Then, with bared arms, and an expression of fiendish satisfaction, he began reaching down into the vats in search of the bodies. As the weights were removed they floated to the surface, and were seen to be closely packed in tierces in the vats, like so many slaughtered hogs packed for market. First, next to the front, was the body of a young and handsome woman of about 2t, with long, golden hair, matted and discolored by the filthy brine into which the body had been rudely thrown. The face was one of great beauty, and, though discolpred bv the. process, still showed that it was the face of one who in life had known no want.’wnd upon which the cares of life had left no .traces. Alongside of it, naked, as was the first, lay the body of a large negro, m an advanced state of decomposition, the black skin in large clots slipping from its place, and revealing the discolored flesh. As the body floated to the surface with that of the woman the short, kinky wool was falling from the head and the watey, mingled with thegolden tresses of the woman at his side. . Next in order beyond, sad pressing against the body, of the neglp; was that of an old nton, nis feet incased in rough, filthy woolen socks, the body again naked, the eyes sunk deep in the sockets, the mouth opened and filled with the liquid in which it floated, the features distorted and discolored beyond recognition, and the shaggy, gray whiskers were loosening their hold and slipping from the face.

As old Negley made a dive at the body, preparatory to hauling it out of tlie vat, aided by a stalwart student, whom he had pressed into the service, the old man prepared to remove the bodies from the vat, in order that we might see whether or not those for whom we searched were there. Seizing the first roughly by the head and shoulders, his assistant grasping the feet, the body was lifted to the edge of the vat, and, without a word of coution or a show of tenderness, or even the consideration one would use toward, a dead animal, it was tumbled rudely to the stofie noor, the beautiful head, which had been pillowed on* some manly bosom, striking hard upon the stone floor, the shapely limbs and well-rounded form thrown prone upon the qeljar filth and bones, an»l the golden, streaming^uuriitV^V l with rft fi##)# jrat, upon' and the body, Inking Tfc and the,face from its Bhamd. & f He followed fith until within a few minutes “hero my upon the filthy stone floor, mingled with the bones and fragments of the apartment, a pile of about twenty ghastly corpses, of all sizes and colors, and all ages and conditions; the old, the young, the emaciated, the well-rounded figure, the shapen and misshapen, black and

For perhaps an hour longer this fiendish, sickening work went on, until the vats were emptied, and no less than forty naked corpses lay in heaps upon the floor, of all ages, sexes, and nationalities, thrown promiscuously’ together, without the least order or attempt at order, a sickening magy3 of human corruption. The skin slipping fjom the fitnbs and bodies where they had been roughly handled, the Hair fftltfh§; froth the heads, or saturated with brine, drippifig its filth upon the bodies below. The dead, distorted, meaningless faces looking out through the dim, ghaatly iamp-lifchtitf-all forms amt in -all terrible positions of countenance on the fiends who were disporting with their sacred flesh. Then the work of inspection began. inspsoted all the bodies which bore resemblance to the dead for whom he sought, and succeeded, he thinks, in identifying several of them. Young Devins’ body he has a very accurate description of, and has found one which so closely corresponds with it that there seems to be flftle doubt, from the description, that M is the one long sought for. ”*1 Up to Jan. 1, 1878, Colorado, had produoed $72,000,000 in gold and silver.

RELIEF TO LABOR.

Settling Our jfiborrr the Best Substitute for a Stan* I ing Army— Speech of Gen. B F. Butler In Cons jsr«x«r nu - I point to the innumerable bills introduced for the appropriation of public moneys for private corpordHlW’J/ cdtlfff&kftfi railroad grdnts arid tjuarartees, deepening* A** bora, improving toe navigation of ,avers, pro- j tection of private' lands from overflow of rivers, relief granted to the sufferers frpm the overflow of rivers, as Was done a few years &g«r in the South; payment of private war olaiwa, generally to one section of tbeeotmfry; moneys; credits and land grants for educationai purposes to private corporations; public moneys -distributed in charities to the inhabitants tit. the JMstrict’of Columbia and foreign nations iff distress; maintenance of lighthouses, doast-surveys, storm-signals, life-saving stations, fast-mail routes, postal commissions, commissions and appropriations for explorations of all parts of toe continent from the Amazon to the North pole; transits of Venns and Mercury, solar parallaxes, bug and grasshopper coixmusaeßS, departments for the diffusion of useful knowledge concerning the cultivation of wheat in the West, cotton and sugar in the South, hemp in Kentucky, acclimation of tea-culture, silk-culture, commission upon generation of decayed seeds; commissions to toad claims against Mexico; courts ot claims to decide disputes as between the Government and individuals; authorisations to the executive departments to adjust every possible claim except the claim of the laboring clashes, and that indefatigable body of workers, the Southern Claims Commission, who have discovered enough loyalists who have claims against the Government in the South to have squelched the rebellion, if they had only been there and Bat down on it when it was going on. All these precedents for governmental action are in favor of property iu its several forms, but where is the legislation tor labor ? Indeed, the expenditures and gratuities of the Government in this behalf are greater than top entire amount of taxable property of the country afi returned by , the census in 1870. Let us examine a tow of them: By the acts of July, 1863, (12 Stats., 492). and July 2, 1864, <l3 Stats., 69), Congress authorized the. issne of - - teed bonds bearing interest at 6 per cent, currency, payable semi-annually, to tho several railroad companies, to the amount of. 64,623,000 Upon which, since their iapue, Congress has paid, a»interest on such bonds... 36,212,090 Amounting in all t 0,.; .$100,835,000 These bonds run for thirty years. The United States will.have to pay at least the additional interest on them amonntlDg to 62,048,009 Making the total cash grant to the Pacific railroads .$162,888,000

As these corporations issued bonds on their own account to the amount of $186,000,000 bearing a high rate of interest and as the repayment by the corporations has only been made to the United States by transportation service (about $9,000,000 up to date), no man can doubt that the bonds and interest paid and payable were in fact a free, grant by the United States of $162,000,000 to these roads. In addition to this vast sum jn cash, which never will be repaid to the treasury unless it be paid from the sales of the land granted also to the corporations, which the companies hold for sale at $5 per acre, Congress has granted t 6 the several railroad companies since 1862 an empire of 285,000.000 of acres of public lands, which, at $1.25 an acre, the Government price, would be equal to $356,250,000; for which the companies will realize, at $5 per aore, the lowest selling price of the railroads, $1,425,000,000. To this add tho amount,of to e bonded debt and interest, as above staled, $162,883,000, which will make $1,589,883,000, being an amount nearly equal to the entire bonded debt of the Government now outstanding, the result of the war, toe lands thus going to aid railroads more than treble in amount the free homesteads fiver settled, and making in this class cf grants alone a money value equal to one-ninth es the amount of the entire return of taxable property in the United States. How much capital received of these vast sums and how much labor got for their respective shares, and how much those who had neither capital or labor to give got from these vast grants of land and money, can never be accurately known. But one thing is certain, that the industrial classes never got $1 that they did not Work and pay -for by their labor. No dividends, no subsidies, no Credit Moliiliers ever came to labor. j Let us take another yiew of the expenditures of the Government, which I extract from official documents.

Since March 4, 1789, there were paid out of the national treasury for the following purposes, namely: For war $ 4,21.2 972,000 For navy, 966,780,000 For Indians v . 171,377,000 For pensions 428,206,000 For miscellaneous.. 1,341,688,000 For ordinary expenses, Congress, Executive and Judiciary 7,111,000,500 Making the total cost of the Government from its foundation until n0w514,222,000,000 To this, if we add premiums and interest on the public debt 1,867,000,000 the total paid oht.. . .<*. .$18,089,000,000 being but a little more than the actual value of tfie subsidies granted to one class of private enterprises, or at the average rate from the foundation of the Government of #180,783,000 anpually.— Finance Report of 1877.

' Of course it is admitted that the industrial clauses reap benefits fronv these large expenditures, but jt must aJwaya.De borne in mind, I repeat again and again, that every dollar they receive they pay foF by their labor after it has been percolated through the absorbing channels of contractors, sntectintractors, dealers and employers. It may be in well-organized society the laborer should always be taken to be but the indirect and smaller beneficiary of the outlay of public money, but the intelligent laborers are beginning to inquire as to the correctness of that organization, ps they see thftt other classes of society receive relatively larger benefits, and that while they grow poorer the non-producing olasses grow richer. One will search in vain in the annals of ConKfor the successful advocacy of any notappropriatioUs In behalf of the laboring or for the elevation of the condftion of jhe industrial classes by the'direct appropriation pf public money. Wehear in tariff and anti-tariff debates of the protection of American labor, bat the inspiring cause is generally the rival interest of traders, importers, dealers, and mapufactnrers in the different sections of the counSo far as legislation is ooncerned, there are but two great dosses of people, the industrial or producing classes, and the propertyowners and non-producers. The latter direct legislation and govern the country, honestly in the main it may be, but always with their oum direct interests controlling public enterprises) and inspiring what they are pleased to call reform. Hence the only passing allusions to labor in Congressional debates, except as a sort of side-issue or dealing with it as a cog-wheel in the machinery of trade and for the frequent appeals to the onty of Congress toward commerce and the public creditors, and hosts of interests they are building np from the profits derived from labor. There is little time or interest expended, upon the condition of labor. Of the mflliohs and billions of treasure that have been expend- • ed since the foundation of the Government for its war debts and actual Government expenses, or were appropriated in the interests or for the development of trade, commerce, and manufacture, thelion's share went to the non-pro-ducingclaeses, the. .owners of property. True it is that the Government is mainly ..employed for the protection of property. As We have observed, the laborer has nothing to be protected. The artisan and mechanic lias almost ceased to own property save his experience and skill and physical strength, to expend them for whatever wages he can obtain. And, so far $s the Unitea Bt*te! if concerned, this proper-

I speak these vfords in all'soberness and Sorrow, because I feel it my duty so to do, I call attention to tho wrong ahd toss necessity of remedy, I call upon Congress, here and now to apply that remedy at once. We have spent more than a week over a political question which tor its utmost can have no significance in affecting toe business of the country, being only whether A or B shall distribute, the Federal offices. Would that thfit week could have been devoted to steady, carrftrl examination? of the dangers which surround us and an endeavor to apply a remedy, Mark my words, for I desire to be held responsible for them; (here is great danger if we allow Ourselves to go home and give no relief to the ptesent condition of the country. When the day of reckoning comes, as come it must, how mean and pitiful will opr economies in apI kflow views and toe consideration of this subject Is not a pleasant one. I neither ask tor, hope or expect applause for presenting them to this House. If I desired that I -yould make a speech, if I could, showing how the value of a United States bond in the hand of a common banker could be raised 10 per cent. Or bow it were possible that a. favorite claim of some section of the country could be saddled on the treasury. Or how the favorite interests of some portions of the country could be subserved by a law adapted to its special interests. Or, if I desired to “bring down, the House’ in a storm of applause, I would utter some biting sarcasm upon the intellect, or some attack upon the character, of souse member of this House.

For myself, let it not be said I bave given no plan or detail by which a remedy may be. administered. Under the rains' of the House I hake neither time dot opportunity. I hake had to beg time for this almost inopportune speech on this hill, sos it will besaid: “What, haa-this to dp with the Army bill ?” I saw no otndr opportunity in which I could call the attention of the House and the country to this' great and, to rile, seeming impending danger, and it has this to do with the Army bill: It is claimed that we must ha,ve a large standing army to repress the possible outbreak of the laboring men, to put them’ down with tha buHet and bayonet, the machine-gun and canton, if they quit work and strike, and bad mqu should band together and take advantage of their necessities to' inaugurate violence and wrong. Mentor# the cause, and then you will not imd ariarmy. The only! suggested need of the army will cease ewjept-op the Western frontier. Instead of supporting 400 men at the expense of nearly f t,1100,000 a year oil the frontier aha regiment, support 400 families with strong, stalwart workingmen at their heads in place of that regiment, and give them arms and they will protect themsolves from your Josephs, your Sitting Bulls, or your Indians wherever-they may, be found. Settle them together iu communities of 400 families, each, and they will be your army—not of Cdnsumhfs, but an arrpy of producers of large numbers, eadh settlement stronger than a regiment. Exercise the power that the constitution has given you and makethem United States militia for your frontiers, and, unlike sdldiers, wheD they dp riot fight they will produoe, arid not oat the production Of others. Send out a selected' head of a family, willing. & Work, with his wife and children,'and give him forty acres of land and only what your soldiers post you in transportation; Clothing, forage, pay arid quarters, and you will kAVe a producer at home to defend himself as our fathers did in Hew England, as our fathers did iu New York, without the aid ft any regttfar army. ' . Expend the $40,000,000 a? year which your army arinrially costs you in putting settlers on the lauds of the frontier with their families who jin yearswill notjOaly h®,a self-support-ing but a self-recPaitirig aririy, which shall add to and not decrease your wealth. Then it will be time to talk about disbanding your regular army, cutting.it dpwn to sergeants, to keep the guns ana' carriages iu the several forts painted, and ouiy educate your officers and let them turn their efforts to civil life until by the possible Contingency of. a foreign war they may be called into action at the head or volunleet soldiers on whom you must at list depend. Depend in the several States upon a wellregulated United States militia, which the constitution presupposes; and da not let my ear be paiued again Jby hearing it said, that militia will not fight, or will svmpathhse with a mob of rioters. When that hour comes, your regular soldiers cannot be depended upon any more than militia ; >and the whole history of the armies of the world tells you that the regulars fraternize with the people when the cause of the mob becomes the cause of the people, and the action of the mob is revolution against their oppressors who take away their liberties and their rights.

Sherman’s Syndicate.

No one has yet taken the trouble to show -what John Sherman’s Syndicate has made by the purchase of the $50,000,000 4f per cent, thirty-years bonds. It most be recollected that the 4-per-cent. bonds, called the popular loan, were being token, at the rate of over $5,000,000 per month, which would, try the Ist of January, 1879, have amounted to over- $50,000,000. .On the Ist of April John Sherman went to New York ’and arranged with his partners in the Syndicate to take $50,000,000 worth of. bonds at 4} per cent., paying them 1 per cent, for making the trade. Fffty million dollars’ worth of thirtyyear bonds aft 4 per cent, would, at simple. cost $60,000. But bankers and bondholders always calculate on compound and the compound 'interest oh $50,000,000 for thirty years at 4 per cent, is $162,169,900. The simple interest on $50,000,000 at 4£ per cent, for thirty years is $66,750,000, and

the compound interest for the Fame time fcj-usra* John Sherman made with his partners in , ,B the Syndicate cost the already overburdened taxpayers $6[750,000 m gold iu iaterest, and allows Sherman and his partners to make on the money thus wrung .from the eweat and blood of the people, $26,963,900. That ' there was no necessity tor thiß Syndicate fifide is proved by the tact that the 4 -per cent, bonds were taken at the rate of over $5,000,000 per month, which proves conclusively that if the 4} per cent, bonds had been issued in small denominations and placed at the various i> Government depositories -they would ’readily have been taken, by the people to a larger amount than disposed _of to Sherman’s Sytjfliftato, and that without costing the Government 1 per cent, for premium, whilst the Syndicate is paid a large amount. What axe the profits made by the premiums on these bonds, which the Syndicate is making, cannot be so readily arrived at, but .that shown above can easily be calculated by any oiie having a knowledge of how to compute simple and oompound interest. Not even Potter’s investigating committee could find what John Sherman’s interest in that steal amounts to, for it is a steal, and everyone who knows Sherman believes that he does not do that kind of work without haying his divy in the spoils.— Washington Cor.- Chicago Times.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

A Terie Letter an Finance—l lie Currency Should Sepresent and Rest on the National Wealth. \7endeU t £ki&pe. haa the • following letter to the editor of the Bos* ton Standard: “ Men doubt the greenback theory on account of its supposed novelty. In ■finance, they 'say, we prefer to stand in the old ways, and trust to methods that have stood the test erf long trial. This is exactly the claim we Green backers make; ours is the only way, and one which has stood the test of years of trial. “ We propose to let the national currency rest on the national debt. We propose to let the greenback represent and rest on the national wealth. Oldfashioned men, hoodwinked by journals which capital owns and edits, start back aghast. They say they distrust * new tricks. ’ “ The fact is, ours is not a new trick. We are only borrowing the plan of the venerable old lady of Threadneedle street, that is, we take for our model the Bank of England. We Greenbackerß are a fossil, old-fashioned, Conservative party. “ Whftt.'Ve is this : We, National party, only ask Congress to model our currency on the sound half of the method of the Back of England—a bank that specie mongers hold in especial reverence. What is that method? “Wh en Sir Robert ; remodeled the IBank of England' in 1844, this was his plan: He allowed the bank to issue bills to the extent of fifteen million pounds stealing (£15,000,000) without one ounce of gold in its vault. That sum —and now we believe it is £16,000,000—the Government ! of Great Britain owes the bank. Oh a Government debt rest the first $100,000,000 of British paper! r And it has proved *he most trustworthy basis in the known world. Any paper currency after that hundred minion the bank must have gold for. This second plank in its foundation has proved so * unstable that thrice since 1844 the Government has bee» obliged to step in and give ifrillegal relief. “ But the strong corner-stone of the Back of , England- is,, the Government credit. This is what propose as the corner-stone of our country—Government credit. England has tried the exppryneut xor us and,,, shown its perfect safety. " Bagehot, former editor of the Economist, in his book on the Back (‘ Lombard street’), explains how its paper is good always and all the world over. He shows it is not because the world knows Or cares whether there is gold in the beck-vaults or npt. He tells us that every business mac knows that a Bank-of-England £ 5 note represents the Government of Great Britain;: that Government has shown on a scpr e of occasions that it wiljt,never let .the bank fail, practically speak’ng, therefore, that £-5 note is guaranteed by tho Government, and represents all its wealth. This iH the reason, as Bagebot sbetf&; why it is current wherever trade exists.

1 “How this is exactly our plan. Onr greenback * shall represent all the national wealth. It shall be current because every business man shall know the Government will never let it be discredited. ‘' “ Does' any man reply, it has stood discredited tine last fifteen years ? So England’s paper did from 1797 to 1820. But that never gbPQk lxer credit. Neither will our mistake shake, ours. Does any man say * England’S debt may be a sure basis for currency, but ours would not be ? To that I reply, let all such lovers of Kings, and distraaters of democratic institutions go where they belong, and nestle in coward safety at the foot of the Czay. I shall never allow that the debts of Tories and Kings are any more sure to be paid than the debts of the people. Th 6 stock lists show that just in proportion that governments become popular and rest on the whole people, just in that proportioh do their bonds rate high in the market; “ Wendell Phillips.” i | | ----- —-

NUMBER 19.

THE LOUISIANA CONSPIRACY.

Darrall SubatuthtM Anderson. The testimony of G. B. Darrall, a Bepublican ex-Congressman from Lonisiana, confirms the story of Anderson in most of its details. Darrall wanted the office of Colleotor of the Port of New Orleans, and was supported by the influence of Stanley Matthews, which he secured through Anderson. Darrall is confident that he would have gained his point, but for the President’s obligations to old Wells and the Returning-Board Anderson, who wanted to control everything themselves. A mere parish Supervisor and an ex-Congress-man could not expect to prevail against the influence of the two men who nad the power to count out ten thousand Tiiden votes, and used it. Mr. Hayes’ adherence to the Returning Board gang, in spitfe of all opposition, is oonvinoing proof that he fully appreciated the magnitude of thedr servioes—and the extent of their knowledge. He knew how many other hearts would ache if Wells began to squeal, and kept the old reprobate’s manger full of fodder, that there might be no provocation for squealing. Rutherford B. Hayes is open to the charge of tampering with witnesses. The Democrats were greatly disappointed in Darrall’s unwillingness to testify. Ho had been talking very plainly to them for a day or two, and even up to within a couple of hours of bis appearance before the committee was pouring the tale of his wrongs into the willing ears of McMahon. Just, before he went on the stand Hayes sent for him, and from that time Darrell’s tune changed. After the dose of the examination he received another summons from the White House, and was closeted there a long time. He is certain to have some good appointment within the next month.

Paymaster Smith’s Examination. After the examination of Darrall, Paymaster Smith was called to the witness chair. The chief point of his testimony concerned the President’s apparent prejudice against Anderson, the Louisiana Supervisor. At Anderson’s request Smith called on the President to get his indorsement or approval of the appointment of Anderson to a better office than Smith had offered him. Anderson wanted something worth $3,000 a year, and thought he would get it if he could see IJfr. Hayes. The latter, with strong appearance of disgust, refused to be interviewed by Anderson, and gave Smith to understand that he did not think the Supervisor had a good claim for so lucrative an office, but did not object to giving him a minor appointment. The effort of Smith to show Mr. Hayes’ contempt for the Anderson sort of people was not particularly creditable to Hayes. It merely showed that, having pocketed the proceeds of Anderson’s dishonesty, the President, wanted to get rid of "him as quickly and cheaply as possible. He despised the swindler as men are apt to do under such circumstances, wliile cheerfully accepting the profits of the swindle. Gen. Butler asked Smith if he had been in consultation with anybody at the White House in relation to his testimony. The other Republicans on the committee objected to the question, and Smith refused to answer unless expressly required to do so by the committee. He might as well have answered in the affirmative, for nothing would have been easier than a denial, if he could have safely made it. The administration people seem to be making a practice of capturing and “cramming” witnesses summoned by the committee—a practice that, if persisted in, may demand action on the part of the House. Secretary Sherman’s lawyer is said to have tried this plan with Mrs. Jenks, who is supposed to know something about the Sherman letter, of which so much has been said, and the visits of Darrall to Mr. Hayes, while his examination was unfinished, are disagreeably suggestive.

John Sherman Attempts a Diversion. Having appeared before the Committee of Investigation, and, in effect, confessed that he wrote the Anderson letter, Mr. John Sherman finds that he has not helped his case, and deems it advisable to make some further attempt. Here is what he now proposes, as it is stated in the New York Tivies : Washington, June 7. The Potter Investigating Committee was in secret session to-day. A commnnicacation was received from Secretary Sherman, reciting that he is charged in the preamble to the resolution authorizing the investigation with complicity in election frauds in Louisiana, and requesting that immediate inquiry be made into this charge. The Secretary furnished the committee with the names of about fifty witnesses, who, he says, will prove that outrages and intimidation were perpetrated upon white and black Republican voters in Louisiana to such an extent as to deter them from exercising their rights at the polls, and requested that these witnesses be called.

This written communication is almost as decidedly a confession as was the oral testimony which Mr. Sherman gave on Saturday week. He is charged with being accessory to the preparation of fraudulent documents concerning tbe election in Louisiana, and with conspiring to change the true returns of that election so as to give the electoral votes of the State to Rutherford B. Hayes when they belonged to Samuel J. Tilden. These are the things which this committee is appointed to investigate, and Mr. Sherman’s invitation to inquire into something entirely different says, about as plainly as words can say, that the proper inquiry of the committee is one that he wishes to evade—is one dangerous to him and to the administration of which ho makes a part. This new move of Mr. Sherman’s won’t avail to draw away attention from the facts thready established against him through evidence of his owd. These facts are that when two Supervisors of Registration in Lonisiana, having charge of the election in two parishes in which a Republican majority was absolutely indispensable to the counting in of the Hayes electors, were on the point of publishing the truth when the election in their parishes had not only resulted largely in favor of the Democrats, but had been orderly and peaceful, furnishing to the Returning Board no ground for throwing out votes or altering returns —when these Supervisors were on the point of revealing the nature of the protests which had been made in their names, then Mr. Sherman, having given them oral promises on which they would not rest, wrote to them the following letter; New Obleans, Noy. 20,1876. Gentlemen : Your note of even date has been reoeived. Neither Mr. Hayes, myself, the gentlemen who accompany me, or the country at large can ever forget the obligations under whioh you will have placed us, should you stand firm in the position you jiaye taken,

Very truly yours, John Bhf.kman. Mr. *D. A. Weber and James E. Anderson. This letter, with his own refusal positively to disclaim its authorship, makes out the case agaiust him ; and when he attempts to leave these points and go into other spheres, such, for instance, as contending that in fifty cases iu Louisiana Republican voters were kept away from the polls, his proposition is wholly extraneous to the subject. [ What Sherman has to deal with is his own letter. Let him confine himself to that. —New York Sun.

What Will Be Done With Darrall ? It is understood that before Darrall went upon the witness stand a bargain was effected with him on behalf of certain persons in high station whom his testimony, true or false, was likely to blacken. That the bargain either was known to the President or was to be made known to him by Darrall, is apparent: In answer to a question by Mr. Blackburn, the witness said that yesterday he waited in the committee room until after 1 o’clock, when, desiring to see the President before leaving tlio city, ho went to the Senate and informed Mr. Kellogg that he was going to the White House, and if the committee desired bis attendance a telegram would find him there. Upon reaching tho White House the Sergeant-at-Arms overtook him, and ho returned forthwith. He had business with tho President, and hearing he was going away desired to see him before he left. What “business” could this scoundrel have with the President of the United States ? To find a substantial difference between him and Anderson in his favor is very difficult. Darrall was a candidate for tho New Orleans Collectorship. He learned from Anderson that the latter was possessed of Sherman’s letter, of letters from Matthews, and ox documents by which representatives and partisans of the administration could be seriously annoyed. He swears that he knew Anderson was a* monstrous liar, a perjurer, a forger, and a blackmailer; yet he proceeded to do all he could to procure Anderson un appointment, and to use Anderson and his masked battery of blackmail as tlie means of securing the New Orleans Collectorship for himself. He called on the President shortly after his inauguration, and recommended to him Anderson’s appointment, giving as biß reasons Anderson’s active part in Louisiana politics, and his intelligence ! It appears to have been after this interview with Darrall that Mr. Hayes wrote the reference of Anderson’s successful application for a Consulship to the Secretary of State. Darrall explicitly swears that iic sought Anderson’s assistance lor himself with Stanley Matthews after he knew that Matthews had been threatened in a blackmailing manner by Anderson, toward whom, he says, Matthews remained well disposed in spite of Anderson’s threats and insults. Ben Butler compelled Darrall to confess, notwithstanding his persistent attempt at evasion, that he engaged in this blackmail co-partnership even before he was out of his seat in Congress. Mr. Butler (interrupting)— Pardon me, you were about to become a candidate for a high office under the Government. Here was a drunken, miserable fellow down in Louisiana, or had been there —a man who you had learned had got a corrupt agreement to have tho Naval Ofiicership—you, a member of Congress who had not yet been unseated, and you about to make an application —don’t you know whether that rascal came and made an offer of services to you or you went to mm? A. Well, sir, Anderson and myself had had a conversation in regard to tho Colloctorship before 1 became a candidate. In regard to Packard——” Q. Leave him out. A. About myself I can’t swear whether the suggestion came from him or me, or from some friend of rnino. Q. I mean the suggestion that the loafer should take part of it. That’s what I want. A. I remember writing Anderson about that matter. Q. Didn’t you write him to come over and help you V A. I wrote him a number of letters. Q. (sharply.) Did you write to him, before he said anything to you, to come and help you? A. I think I did. Q. Don’t you believe you did ? A. That’s my best recollection. Unless I saw the letter I could not tell. Q. What iuduoed you to go to Philadelphia for this miserable man to aid } on in your candidature? A. I stated that Anderson had suggested the matter to me a uumber of times, and it was so understood. Ho hold papers t r documents that the powers that wore would bo willing and glad to listen to. Still later, he made this admission : Q. If these documents had not been published you would have been willing to have owed your election to the efforts of a perjurer and blackmailer with false documents as Collector at one of the principal offices? A. You have stated him to be such. <J. You yourself stated it now. A. Not of my own personal knowledge. Q. You knew the man to be corrupt. You believed his affidavit to be false. You knew his acquaintances would say he was a drunkard, and you knew that using these documents for this purpose was simply blackmailing. A. Certainly. Q. Then haven’t you stated all that I have ? A. Substantially. Q. Then we don’t substantially differ, and you were sorry you failed? A. Naturally. The spirit of this fellow’s testimony, from beginning to end, shows that he has been coached by parties interested, and his fruitless determination not to tell anything which he could contrive to conceal is one of the most discouraging features of these disclosures. The presumption of a bargain is irresistible ; and Darrall’s cool call at the White House, because he did not like to leave Washington without saying adieu to Mr. Hayes, will awaken a solicitude to watch the future progress of Mr. Darrall’s relations with the administration and the high personage, whom, in his sadder moments, he characterized as the “psalm-singing hypocrite.”

Impeachment for John Sherman.

Secretary Sherman is in the toils. One case for inqieachment is clearly made against him by the Glover Investigating Committee. To defray the expenses of the Louisiana Commission he borrowed $5,000 of the First National Bank of New York, a member of the Syndicate. This was borrowing money in anticipation of an appropriation, an unlawful act. The money has never been repaid. Congress will’ never appropriate a dollar to pay the expenses of this trading commission. The money loaned by the First National Bank was furnished in New York drafts to the disbursing agent. These drafts were cashed at the sub-treasury in New Orleans. This is an indictable offense. Another thing against Sherman in this matter is the secret manner employed by him in negotiating this loan, and his not presenting afterward the facts in the case to Congress when he asked for money to make it good. This ill-fated Lonisiana Commission has been in bad enough odor without this dirty scandal to come as a sequel to their long chapter of bargaining intrigues,— Washington telegram.
