EVIDENCE IN THE CONTESTED ELECTION


We have been favored with printed copy of
this document, which runs through 334 pages octa-
vo, and embraces such revelations as were never
before discovered to civilization This testimony is
of strictly legal character, having been taken in
conformity with the Act of Assembly relating to
contested elections, under the process of law the
witnesses being duly summoned and examined by
the contestants and crossexamined by the other
side An immense amount of time and toll has been
spent on these developments, which are said to have
been unnecessarily protracted by the delays of
those holding the returns. Too much credit can
scarcely be awarded to those gentlemen, who,
moved by views of public duty, far more than by
any hope of their own advantage, have thus devo-
ted themselves for many weeks to the proving of
details so disgusting and so horrible. We have no
room this morning for such comment on this mass
of evidence design to make nor have we
space for all the extracts we think it wholesome
for our readers to see. For to-day we shall conine
ourselves to some of the testimony on the subject
of "Coops.'
