INEG BOARD.
The telegraph fjWedneiday morning re
ported that the President was irritated over
the threatened indictment of Wells and An
dersonl for perjury and forgery while acting
as members of the Retturning ltoanl. We are
at a loss to understand why the indietment
of two prominent and rnt)rious malefactuArs
in this ate should ldistress' or irritate the
President, If Matt Wells and Tomr An
derson emtnitted. the ºiimes of perjury
and forgery in the discharge of grave and Im
portnant pnblicn duntl.w, as they are 'Iharged
with having done, the President should re
jote that the tiinisters of tihe law in Lois
lana are active and fearless enough to I;nroe
ente and bring them to justihe;'lf 11thy are
not guilty they are in no danger of conviction,
and there Is no sensiblPe reason for thie Pr-'l'
dentt's Irritation.
The polleitude Mr. Hayes Ia reported as en
tertaltinlng about the proI.eutloni of th.ser
men hiay lead. o the Infi%'ninct that, after all,
he Is not an confident of I Lie legality of lil
title to the Preoidency n . he clahns to ie, and
that he is only to, eonacilous f the fact thatn
to make him Prelident the Eleteral Tribunlni
found It nelessary to sanction fraud, forgery
atl perjury.
Io purpose lhas IVfln XprtllRl In this HiteT
anl none exists, to attack, or In say manner
questonh. Mr. Hayes' title to the. Pr1eodeney.
The object of the proposed prosietlaotins Is not
p~ ltictal; It la simply to bring to justice men
who have violatel our laws and perpetrathl
great and scandalous crimes. Public oplnion
demands, and public justice and deotwny re
quire, that these mon shall he trit'l and, if
foundfl to be guilty, eovln;tel.
It Is a matter with which the Preshlont has
no .oncern and which he his no rilght to en
deavor to Inflhence. The G(rand Jury of the
parish of Orleans is the supArme authority
herei, and if any membenr of that body should
be lnttlueirdl by the Presdhiht, or by any one
lna, or hy anything elso. than Lhe facts and
the law, ihe will himself monlinlt the crlne ,of
perjury. 4
Mr. Hayes wrongs hImself by meddling In
this matter. If hn has no better title to the
pre.ldeney than the R.eturnlng Hard1 s decla
ration of the result of the eleetiol in iLouisi
aana, he Is a fraudl, a usurper, a criminal,
tlunworthy the onfldottien or repeIr etl of t lhe
country. Let him not Iest Ills right to
the high oflce hi holds on a title derived
from perjurers and forgereot, and elreted by
the vilest fraud. He has now a better title,.
He held his offle by virtue of the perjury of
Weiladlnt Anderson and Alhlndl Jom. and by
that only, until he nordered the withdrawnl
of the Federal troops firom the Rapi
tals of South ('arlina. and Louisiana, I
and restoredl to every tat, iin the
Union the right of local self-government.
When ihe dhil these things lie acquiried i
stronger', Ictter and nobler title tIl his place
the Indorsement of the vastI majorIty of the

A Pennsylvania County that IEndorses
Hayes at Last Diseovered.
There seems to be one county in Penn
sylvania where the machine has lost its
grip. The Republicans of Warren
county met last week and unanimously
adopted the following:
" Resolred, That we commend the
spirit which prompts P1resident Hayes
in his pacific overtures to the South,
concurring, as it d6es, with the policy
of magnanimity, conciliation and for
giveness which has been steadily man
ifested by the Republican party during
its ascendancy, and whieh found re
peated expression in legislative and ex
ecutive acts throughout every adminis
tration from President Lincoln's term
to the present time."
They also approved the efforts to re
form the civil service, and favored a one
