INTIMIDATION IS LOUISIANA.
When fifty men testify thai they did not en
a cert.iin thingt and fifty, more or lesa, tot if.
that they did see that thin?.*, which side i
to he believed ? Everybody knows the rule o
law and of Common si use. line man who saw
and swears to it, outweighs fifty who did no
see, and swear to that. Snip the I.oiiisiam
case of all disguisi.; and excrescences, and i
is -imply an illustration of this will-knowt
rule. Une man who saw that his life was ii
danger it he roted ?is !?? pleased ought t(

posing thai the witnesses ?ne equallycreilible

Yet tin- hnowledfre <>( on* man outweighs lit?
ignorance of thousands. Aiwtssination, beating,
intimidation of roten in any form, are crimes
in Louisiana. No man lakes pain- to commit
crime.'- with all possible publicity. The oiu
witness who mw a murder committed, ami
identifies ihe murderer, i-* infinitely more im?
port.nit than the many who did not see, ami
who think that il?, murder was not com?
mitted at all, or was committed hy ?oniebody
else.
It i.? not denied that some horrihle crimes
have been committed in Louisiana. Thi? the
Democrats admit, hut claim that they hail no
political origin. Two questions of fact arise:
Were those crime, committed for political ends,
and was the effect of them and of other acts

tksl act? of violence were most freipnnt.
Wo come, then, to the toidlictiii?' testimony
as to the BatUlU and ?'fleet of these misdeeds.
The claim, which savors strongly of partisan
ship, that they were ordered ?from party haod
?piailers, may lie disiiii-,s??l as trivial and irrel?
evant. Th?'same iliiils, if perpetrated without
such iti?ti:ation, Would have bc??n e?pially a
violation of law, and would have, been as
likely lo prevent a free and ?legal election.
Several thousand o ?tinsses swear that they
SAW tin? ?-Ilcet.s of this violence; some, that
they Wen iMisonnlly assault?'?! ; some, that
they knew of the murder ?>f others, ami WOTC
Warned that it ?would not be sat? to vole the
lb-publican ticket; some, that they were per?
sonally threatened or warned; many, that they
?lid not rota as they wished, heraus?? of tho
leal or SUppoaed danaer; ami many others, that
among their acquaintances then wer?? many
Republicans thus coerced or driven from the
polls by bar. Such is the nature of the evi?
dence on one side. Thousands swear that they
personally know certain facts. On the other
side, thousands swear that they ?lid not see
any intimidation, nor hear any threats, and.
that they know nothiiiK to warrant th?- belief
that the election was not fair and free. Which
set of witnesses is to be believe?! ? Which
would be believed, if th?1 issue w??re the guilt
or innocence of a man accused of horse
itealingl
In ilicsc few words the Louisiana case,
as it now stands, is summed up; thousands
sw?-ar that they saw ami thousands more that
they did not see. The Presidency of tho
United States depends, in equity if not in
actual result, upon the ?lcrrce ?if credibility to
which such conflicting teetimony is entitled.
Then are all manner of side issues, l.specially
there is the strictly technical view taken by
Judge Tiunibiill ?iml ??th? rs who composed the
I tetnocratii' committee, which amount? to this:
that the Returning ?Board had not ?legal au?
thority to consider much of the evidence pre
sented. ?Plain people <>f honest instincts will
ask, not. what the Hoard had a technical light
to find out, but what were the actual faits.
As (?? these, w?' limit either b?lieve the thou?
sands who swear lo what they saw and suf?
fered, or the thousands wh?? iweai that they
did not see and ?liil not sutler.

that the man who invented ?Cronin and
mad?- him an Electoral ?College in spite of the
popular vote ; who wrote ?i pamphlet on the
subject ami brought it ander his arm all tin?
way iioni Oregon, ami who actually saved the
country ami the ?-auso of Tilden ami Reform,
Would not slu ink from a serenade. The hero
who has shown such rcadim-ss to confront,
if need be u world in nuns would not be
likely t<? hesitate at meeting a brass band in
full uniform, tltOUgfa ?very musician played a
hand-organ ami wore spurs. Indeed he has
?already passed a similar Ofdeal on his jour?
ney. At San Francisco a large ami influential
body of ?-iti/ens, who are ?animated by an
earnest deaira t?? reform the Poat-Ofl.ee, Cus
toiii-lloii-e, ami Mint from the inside, marched
upon the Cosmopolitan Hotel, where he tem?
porarily resided, and ?made earnest ami im?
passioned remarks at him, to him, and about
him, which were interspersed with martial
airs by a brass band ami responded to with
martial ardor by himself. On that occasion he
s ,id he had a severe cold, but in n-sponso to
the complimentary remarks which bad been
addressed t<? him he added, in somewhat compli?
cated syntax but with beautiful simplicity of
manner: "In doing th?' act which 1 ?lid iu
"the stale of Oregon, after having been so
"hi;rhly compliment? ?1 lor it by Gov. Irwin, I
"will simply say that, born ami cradled in the
" faith of dm ksonian and .IclVersonian De
"mocracy [ctheers]; that, reared in the tenets
"of that ??hi national party, carrying th?' faith
"revered by my parents ami aasoclatea <?f
"tlmse parents in the early history of the
" Government, when theConatitution was placed
"before me, when I had taken an oath to sup
"port that Constitution, ami when an act of
"my official duty waa called to he enacted
"under that Constitution, it waa impossible
"ferme to ?go contrary to the mandates of
"tbe great law of the country.'' That is the
I.iml of man he is. "Horn ami cradled in the
"faith," "reared in the teneto," and "carry?
ing flic faith revered" by his parents?he
could n't?oh of course he couldU*t?"gO i'OIl
"trary to the mandate?.'' ?Several other Gov
ernora did, but then they were probably not
"Iioni and cradled in the failli " and reared in
the tenets.
He subsequently remarked that he did this
"simple act" with the sole purpose "to coii
" linn and maintain in the coiinti\" the
" great charter of our liberties." " When called
" up??n," said he, rising with Ih?? occasion and
fearing au interruption by tiie bond, "t?> <?<> an
" ofncial act ?ifth.it kind, 1 am of that ?-lass of
" men win? never count the cost." in the
haste of delivery, and possibly becaUM the
band seemed impatient to strike up, he neg?
lecteil to say whether it waa the coal t<? him?
self ??r to Gov. Tilden he was so indifferent
about, '?ut Cioniii's cros--exaiiiiiiati.iii throws
light upon that, point. Tor Cumin, it .seems,
?Iocs not belong t<? "that class of men." He
did ci?uiit tin- <"i?st with great ?precision and
distinctness. It waa $3,000; probably in coin.
What (?i.v. Grover meant to nay, no doulit,
was that he was the kind of man who did u't
count the cost win n another fellow had it to
pay ??r Cronin waa at hand to do the
?counting for him. In closing, the Gov?
ernor said with an emphasis that must have
thrilled ?very drumstick in the band, " Mut,
"my friends, when I am celt tin I urn right,
" Ihe heavens may fall, but the a?'t shall Ik?
"?lone." This remara of Itself, in front <>i a
boto! that has ?frequently staggered under the
recurring earthqua?ke, ami iu presence ???' a
brass band familiar with such phenomena, w is
i an indication ?if iincoiiiiiioii routage on the
par! of the orator. And then the band stunk
up. These facts ami these extracts are cited
here t?? shoa that the ?Oregon sta?tes?maa is not
afraid <>f a bras, band, ami cannot !??? intim?
idated by a serenade. He will meet the band
lace to face and will make a speech. And
though it is no buaineea of ours, we ?1<> make
hold lo Suggest thai he ?-.in hardly do better
j ?MM i ?peat l Im San Francisco speech word for
word. It is uncommonly ^nod ; particularly
the part which relates to hi, being born
und cradle?! and reared, ami his ?I'-teimimitioii
t.? continu und maintain the gnat ?harter of
our liberties and not go contiary to the maii
datoa. The TOdaa ami ilemii-icka stofora
Club will bo pcilc.tly carried uwuy with that
part of it. They sit up night? with the great
charter of our liherties. There isn't ono of
them hut that Hunks a great, deal more of Ihn
Constitution of the 1'nited Slates than he does
of his own. We shall he disappointed if ??ov.
Grove, does not give them the San Francisco
speech over again, or at leant repeat tho same
nobh)and elevating sentiments.
Mi,'intime Crania Hiiflers cross-examination,
and it is not, are think, carrying it too far to
say that, he "sloshes round" in it with some
dilliculty. We really fear that Cronin has not
only disappointed his friend?, hut ha? liecn
disappointed himself. We anticipated it. ai'V
eial days ago, and gavo him fair warning as
ho was swooping down on Washington from
the Rocky Mountains. Everybody under.stands,
of course, that, he as well as (irover ?s con?
tinuing and maintaining the great charter of
our liherties and obeying the mandates ; hut
it turns out that he gets |3,000 for it;
in fact, that ho got it before ho
started in ; ami that has a mercenary look.
And yet we do not understand why f'ronin is
neglected and Grove, serenaded, ('roiiin is
the Electora] College and the messenger, and
brought the vote of tho State, while (?rover
brings nothing hut a pamphlet, which may ho
weighty hut can't Im- counted. We appeal for
fair play between tho two. Either serenade
Cronin, who has been cross-examined, or poet
pone (?rover's serenade till after his erase
animation. Perhaps the Tilden and Ifendrieks
Reform Club won't feel so mach like Idling a
brass hand after the committee gets through
with (irover. 1'nles.s indeed they are like
(irover?men who don't count the cost, hut
have it charged to some ono else. Which
may he. _
THE COMMITTEES AT ALBANY.
A? usual after the election of a Speaker, the
State capital is full of gossip and rumor about
the composition of the committees. We hear
I great many stories of bargain! between va?
rious leading statesmen of the Legislattne and
gentlemen who professed to he the agents or
next friends of Mr. Sloan, and the Speaker is now
called upon to fullill the promises said to have
been made by these persons to the Bsembecs
who secured his election. We do not helievo
that Mr. Sloan was a party to any such com?
pacts. We are certain that lie i.? in no way
bound by the unauthorized pledges of officious
friends, and we trust that he will disregard
t!? in.
The most important place in his gift is
perhaps the chairmanship ?>f the Committee
on RaUroeds. The people will watch the ap?
pointment to that post with peculiar interest.
The election of Mr. Sloan was mule,stood to
he a signal defeat of the Railroad Hing, and
now that the purpose of the Railroad Ring is
virtually confessed and the danger which it
importa to the commerce of our State and our
metropolis is clearly understood, Mr. Sloan's
position becomes a matter of _ener.il concern.
The railroads .-ie engaged in a scheme to de
?traj the Klin Canal, in older that they mav
monopolise the carrying trade of New-York.
The Legislature of 1877 has got to light them,
and we look to Mr. Sloan to justify the good
opinion which his party formed Of him wLen
he was elevated to the chair.
DEMANDING SATISFACTION.
The talk in certain circles of the town to?
day will he very generally of the duello, about
which, as a method of settling difliculties be?
tween men of honor, nobody at present knows
much or cares initih. The epistolary hanter,
possibly halt serious, or at least with a good
deal of Irritable feeling in it, which a well
known lawyer has seen fit to indulge in, is
not NMMpropM to the debate whether the gen?
tleman who was knocked down near the Union
Club House on Wednesday last is hound to
challenge his assailant, and whether, if sum?
moned to the held of honor, the assailant,
according to tl?- code, is obliged to go out.
Strictly speaking, if there is to he any formal
correspondence between these d__putanta, it
should begin hy an offer of satisfaction
formally made to the party assaulted.
This is the Ont step to he taken
if the etiquette of the duello is to
govern future proceedings. Should the
challenge proceed from the party assailed, the
other would seem to he estopped from plead?
ing that, the challenger has been disgraced by
a blow, since this would he to take advantage
of his own tort, and would be putting the
challenger oiit-ide the pale of Lonor from no
fault, iu the immediate premises, of his own.
In the case under on ?deration, the gentle?
man who was assaulted is clearly entitled to
satisfaction. He may lie refuted this upon tho
ground that he i; not a gentleman ; hut if he
was gentle enough to lie beaten, he is surely
g ut 1?- enough to shoot. Nor will it do for
pople to associate with other people, dine
with them and drive with them, and welcome
them to intimacy and alliance with their tam?
il lea, and afterward, npOB being summoned to
mortal combat, set up that they are too ill
bred to he made targets of. The wise are
mure discriiniiiating in their chelee (?f friends,
and (Ven of mere acquaintances. Moreover, a
member of the Union Club is ?ir'uua fact? a
gentleman until he has been formally expelled
Iron it? seiest precincta.
We have considered these points earefnlly
ami leriously, lu?anse, if tl? re is to he any
lighting occasioned hy this truly unfortunate
affair, it is our desire that it should proceed
in a decent and orderly manner. The fact is,
however, that in this State the fighting of
duela is a felonious diversion, and even to
have ihe State for the purpose of fighting
them is a decided mbsdemeanor. Besides, one
of the parties is already liable to indict?? nt
for assault, ?is well as to an action for bat*
ttry, with the ad thtninum fixed at a large
amount, while we do nol know what legal
complication! may he awaiting the other. We
should think that the thirst for vengeance on
either side might he ?ssuaged hy a reason shin
share of ?tiff ami prolonged litigation ; and
there are attorney! in plenty who will agree
with us thai a writ is a much prettier weapon
than a pistol, though (he charges may
h.- more expensive than powder and
shot. But nobody can he scut to State
Prison for heing a phvintiff or defendant
unless either commit perjury to help alorg his
ciim'. Moreover, it is andcnii : the
duel, in these parts of the World ...ll as
most others, has gone out of fashion. Even
those who defend it in the ahslract would he
the last to assent to its restoration. So it is
ah?iiid and a waste of valuahle hreath to talk
of duels to-day. Coftsidl ring this, and bIsO
how hard it is to get sat is lac ? ion for a certain
class of penonal offenses, we (hink that gen?
tlemen should he all the more careful how in
that way tl?y otVend. There is hardly any
man of much experience who has not felt in
the Course of hit life like Hogging somebody,
and yet no srlt-respecting person ever so in?
dulged himself without regretting it. Wc are
willing to believe that this will he the feeling
of the gi nil. inaii who so lust control of him
self last Wednesday, at least after the hot
pansions of the affair are allayc?!.
