Personally appeared before me, the undersigned
Justice of the Peace in and for the State and parish
aforesaid. Simeon C. Nickols and James Hicks, cti-
zens the parish Of Rapides and State Of Louisiana,
who being duly sworn according to law, say that
they were Commissioners of Election for Calcasieu
precinct in the year 1885, and at the election held at
said precinct Isaac Sweat Robert Perkins and Alex
ander Buxton were there and wanted to vote and
We believe, would have voted the American ticket
but we were not willing to receive their votes be
cause We believed them mixed with African blood.
In fact Buxton and Sweat offered their votes but
would not swear they We're white, free-born citizens.
We Furthermore swear that we believe that there is
upwards of forty voters who vote at Teu-Me pre-
cinct, who are also mixed with African blood. We
Furthermore declare that We are members OF the
American party.

This evidence is clear and unquestionabe. It es-
tablishes beyond all doubt, that these people, who
live in the prolific hills OF Ten Mile, have african
blood in their rens, and that they do vote the Demo
cratic ticket.
We will now prove, by evidence equally reliable
and incontestabe, that Col Hunter did, on the 5th
day of November last at the Presidential election OF
Free Kansas Buchanan, assemble and arm the free
negroes OF Ten Mile, and fortified them SO at the
polls, the night before the election, that it would

Her testimony is corroborated by that Of John
Richie.
MeSsr. S. c. Nichols and James Hicks testify that
in the year 1856 they acted as Commissioners of
Election in the Calcaseu precinct, (adjoinng Ten
Mile) and that two Of these mulattoes Alex. Buxton
and Isaac Sweat offered their votes, which were re-
fused because they declined swearing that they were
white, lee-born citizens
If this evidence does not settle the status of the
voters in question, then human testimony is worth
nothing.
Now let us see what the charge that Robert A.
Hunter aids, encourages and defends these negroes in
exercising the elective function is worth the fact that
they do vote having been distinctly stated in nearly
every of the affidavits to which we have alluded
Mr.. Edward johnson testfes that on the 4th CAV
of November, 1856, he and other citizens accompanied
the American Challenging Committee to the TeuSile
precinct for the purpose of protecting the committee
in the exercise of their duties having heard that the
negroes had determined that their votes should not be
challenged. He then proceeds:

the history of the American Revolution. From

owe to our country and our posterity. The
wisdom, herosm, and patriotism Of our ances-

pit, the stage, the bench, and the portico.
Their magnanimous virtues-their chivalrous
actions, and their bloody and desperate con-
tests-should be told to the rising genera
ton of men, in burning words of eloquence, in
order that they may know how dearly bought
is the liberty we enjoy, and how priceless is
the jewel of freedom that our immortal sires

have taken place at Hong Kong. The Chronicle cop

which we learn that an attempt made by the Chi

means of large iron tank filed with gunpowdcr
that blew up close to the soopof.war, of Hamilton
Creek and the conclusion of which was felt on board
the Encounter and Elk two miles off-so strongly in
deed that the crews Of these vessels imagined ithad
occurred close to them The tank is supposed to have
been the boiler Of the unfortunate steamer Queen.
Very fortunately, however, the distance had been mis-
calculated and the explosion took place some seven
or eight yards only from her bows. similar Internal
machine was detected lately close to the Hornet.

Editor Democrat, Sh--In the Legislature of a Ger.
tain State, it proposed to take off the tax
then laid dogs, and place tupon the old bachelors.
| This proposition caused much mirth ; and amongst
other good things said, some one observed that he
would not object to taxing bachelors, provided, a
law was passed compelling every Benedict TO teach
school at least six months before he married.
A truth may sometimes be conveyed in Jest, and
in this instance it is doubtful whether a suggestion
was uot made that might be beneficial to the rising
generation. When we consider the great advantages
ef education and remember there is royal road to
TO learning II might be worthy Of consideration by
the statesman, whether some means might not be
adopted whereby the prospecting fathers Of rising
generation, might be taught the difficulties attendant
on teaching the young ideas how to shoot.
II is not my intention to occupy space in your val
liable columns the time Of your readers by discuss
ing worn out subject education, although, in
fact too much cannot be said it is but too true that
wisdom creth aloud, and man regardeth her voice.
My object in addressing you is to call your aten-
ton to the fact that we have school in Hornitos
and there is some probability Of its continuing
This is the third attempt which has been made The
other two were unfortunately failures
lolr readers can reduliy orn an luea OF tne Vexa-
tious and petty miseres which the teacher must have
to struggle with, in conducting school in such a
place Horntos and surely il the laborer Is worthy
Of his hire and the servant Of the alter must live by
the alter may at least be generous enough to award
some merit TO him, who perhaps ambitious of greater
things, yet bends his mind to the instruction of our
children, and thus in measure endeavors to pre-
pare them for taking places, when destiny is
fulfilled. B.
