Judge Tourgee in lforth Carolina As this gentleman seems to have found high favor with the Republican party and as he was here a few evenings since' teaching our people religion, politics, morality and brotherly love, it may not be out of place to publish the following which was taken from the New York Hun of the 21at instant:

Judge Albion W. Tourgee has achieved some notoriety in the present canvass as a stump speaker for Garfield. He is also the author of two political novels, now in voguw. "A Fool's Errand," the better known of his books, is said to be a clever production. In the form of fiction Judge Tourgee professes to give the record of his own experience as a car-pet-bagger to a southern state. He calls himself a f®ol, and his errand a fool's errand, because he wasted several years in a hopeless mission because he persisted to the degree of folly in the belief that the people ot North Carolina would at last overcome sectional prejudices, view him simply on his merits as a man, and appreciate at their full worth his endeavors to raise them to a higher plane of ci7ihzation.

A good many northern carpet-baggers besides Judge Tourgee' went into local politics in the reconstructed states at the end of the civil war. They were not all fools. Some of them were exceedingly sharp rascals, whose errand at the soutli was to run to the best advantage for themselves the opportunities for illicit money making which the exceptional situation offered. The achievements of some of these carpet baggers have become historic. The names ot many of them arc familiar to everybody who has read the Sun for the past ten years. Some of them have been exposed, disgraced, punished but even where they have come to grief they do not consider themselves tools, nor do the communities which they plundered look at them in just that light.

Judge Tourgee, however, in his book on the condition of southern society, classes himself as a fool. Does he cio himself injustice?

We have at hand a volume on the condition of society in North Carolina in the carpet bag days that throws some light on the question." Although it deals more or less with Judge Tourgee's experience, it wns not written by him, and it is not liction. It has probably had fewer readers in the north than either of the clever novels which Judge Tourgee has put upon the book stands. Document Number Eleven" is the unattractive title of the report of a commission appointed in 1871, under an act of the North Carolina legislature, to inquire into charges of corruption and fraud brought against various officials of the stale.

Among the subjects which the fraud commission investigated, was the issue, in 1868, of $4,000,000 in state bonds to the western division of the Western North Carolina railroad. It was charged that the managers of this railroad procured the passage of certain bills by the expenditure of a corruption fund of $241,713,31 among officials ot the state. Geo. Swepson, the president of the road, testified under oath: "I was told by Littlefield and Deweese, who were a kind of lobby lawyers, Littlefield being the principal, that I would

get no bills througQ the legislature unless I entered into the same arrangement which they said other railraad presidents hail made, to pav a certain per cent, (ten per cent, in kind) of the amount of the appropriations. I had no conversation or agreement with the other railroad presidents myself, but it was generally understood that each of them had employed Littlefield as a lobby lawyer. I then agreed to their proposition, and afterward paid Littlefield upward sf $240,000 in money and some bonds for his services in procuring the passage of the bills through t'tie legislature making appropriations to the western division of said road. "Q—How did you make these payments to Littlefield of money and of bonds

A.—I paid money in various ways. Sometimes upon Litttefield's order, sometimes by taking up his notes and notes of other parties at his request, sometimes in money to him, some bonds.

I have a list of the various sums of money paid out, the time when paid and the names of the persons to whom paid."

Swepson then produced his corruption accouut. The iiist entry was the following: of G. W. SWEPSON with M. S. LITTI.E I'TEI.D. .V V*

1868. Int.toOct I 20,1869.

June 17. To A.W.Tourgee I $200 00 *32 27 And further down the list of fifty or sixty payments in this entry:

I860.

To A W. Tourgee I and protest. .. 93^)02 551 $ 10150

July 24.

We also extract the following from the testimony of Mr Swepson: "In regard to tlie item of $3,500 charged to have been paid to A. W. Touree, my recollection isthat this was a raft of A. W. Tourgee, drawn on me without authority, and 1 did not pay it until some time after it had gone to protest, when Gen. Littlefield requested me to pay it and charge it to him on this account. I did so."

G. Rosenthal, Swepson's bookkeeper, testified as follows: "These different items were handed to me as bookkeeper from time to time by G. W. Swepson, with instructions to charge the same to M. S. Littlefield. They were in the shape of orders, drafts, or notes of individuals. Cash was paid on these notes or orders. "As to the first item charged against A. W. Tourgee of $200, my impression is that it was a note in bank which was overdue, and Swepson took it up. It is probable, however, that it is for money loaned directly by Swepson to Tourget I was told to charge it to Littlefield, I was told by Mr. Swepson that he was io pay Littlefield a certain sum of money for getting these bills passed through the legislature, and these payments were to be charged against that account. As to the second item of $3,502.55 against Tourgee, of date July 24.1869, a draft drawn bv Tourgee on G.

•'W'-.'WSt'"

Swepson for $3,500

was presented for payment aud payment refused, and it went to protest. 'Some time afterward Mr. Swepson instructed me to pay it and charge it to his account, which I did.*,'

In presenting this evidence the commission express regret that it was not in their power to procure the testimony of Milton S. Littlefield, the agent in the

bribery. And th'.y add in regard to the persons paid out of the corruption fui.d at Littlefield's direction:

l,So

far as we were able we have caused these parties to be summoned before us, and have examined them with reference to these payments. All have responded except James Sinclair and Judge Tourgee, who did not appear. Judge 'lour gee addressed a note to the commission in reference to the sums alleged to have been paid him."

This note was not eviden ce, and there fore does not appoar in connection with the report of the commision.

The investigation by the Fraud commission of 1871 does not seem to have been very through. This is to be regretted. Had the commissioners gone for the bottom facts a little more energetically, and, among other steps, insisted on the presence of Judge A. W. Tourgee on the wiiness stand, the question as to whether he is a fool or not might have reeieved a satisfactory solution.

manly Democrat in Americ h, who is familiar with my fcnodwrjting, will denounce'he forgery at sight. Put the case in the hands of the ablest detcctive once, and huu the rascal down.

This is a sq uare and explicit denial. It is for the country to say whether they believe it is true. It must be remembered that the presidency is at stake and that his failure to deny this letter would mean his ignominious removal from the ticket or, if not that, his overwhelming defeat at the polls. With oniy a Con gressional seat at stake it will be remembered Mr. Garfield denied that the $320 which he received from Oakes Ames was, as he said, a dividend on Credit Mobilier stock, and dec lared on his oath before a Congressional Committee that it was one chance in a million that each of six Congressmen would all be borrowing from one man the sum of $329. The point of this isthat in the crisis of his life and when his own political prospects are atstaVe, Candidate Garfield is not a reliable borrowed $329 from affairs at the present time. prevent their importa* tion to this country.
