tenefal Henry Grey, OF Bienville, was
subponaed to give testimony before the
Congressional Committee now sitting in
this city to investigate the facts of the
last election. From what we hear, the
Generals testimony was of very nnsa-
tisfactory character. He was asked the
cause of the small vote for Gen. Grant
in his parish, only two votes being re-
ceived for the radical electors.
The General answered that, rs far as
he could learn from the negroes. the res
son they would not come to the polls and
vote was because the Provost Marshal
who came to the parish as radical or
ganizer, had promised, if they would
vote for the radical ticket in the State
election, to give each one of them forty
acres of good land, mule, pillow, hoe,
axe, and set them up in the world. This
promise had not been kept, and, there
fore, the negroes would not turn out to
vote for the nominees of the party in the
November election.
Question-Who told You this was the
reason?
Answer-About 500 of the negroes
themselves.
Question-Can you give the names of
any of these?
o"Si LTD, oelIy, OlIus DOD, Dig
Bill, Squint-eyed Joe, legged Tom,
George
Mr.. Stevenson-That will do. Please
give us their surnames.
Answer-They never had any; Mt least,
L never knew them by such.
Question-Have you not been q pre-
minent politician in this State?
Answer-No.
Question-Were you not member of
the Legislature?
Answer-Yes; but was never promi-
nent.
Qnestion-Were you not nominated
for tho United States Senate in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Benjamin?
Answer-Yes; was voted for.
Question-Did not this show that you
wero prominent politician?
Answer-No; it only showed that I
had some popularity; not that was the
proper man for the place, any more than
the votes received by Gen. Grant proved
that he was fit to be President of the
United States.
You can stand down, SIR
Thereupon the General retired, after
having been brought down all the way
from the borders of Texas to give testi-
mony before the committee.

How CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES. =
II common rumor and almost daily news
paper reports can be believed, it is q
warrantable conclusion that an expedi-
ton to Cuba leaves our shores-and
often right under the eyes of the United
States oficials-on an average, ut least,
once a week. Now, this may be all
right. We do not say it is not. But,
when fillibusters (naval expeditions left
English ports to help Southern "rebs,"
we all know how bad we felt about it
and how we are now insisting upon John
Bull. not only to pay, but to apologize
for it,
Again-it used to Grille" us when the
English papers spoke of jeff Davis as
President Davis" But now-every
day we see journals that used to be most
indignant thereat, speaking of the Cuban
rebel General as president" Cespedes-
before the United States Government
has recognized him as "belligerent,"
even.
We repeat, these things may be all
right, we don't say they are not, yet one
cannot help thinking, how, with some
folks, circumstances alter cases
