Committee examined two witnesses to-day
Mayor O'Leary and Col. White commander
of the whites on the It'll inst. The Mayor
testified that Whites troops acted under his
orders to defend the city. Miller testified

under orders from Crosby and would enter
the city at all hazards. He said the firing
commenced simultaneously, and he ordered
his men to desist as soon as the negroes fled,
which order they obeyed. Miller said the
reports of negroes killed were greatly exagge-
rated He thought not more than fifteen
were killed altogether.
The prisoners captured were in no case mall

THE ALABAMA CONGRESSIONAL CcxnlrTEE.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 31.-The Con
gressional Committee are all here. Repubi'
can politicians, generally men who were de-
feated for Office, are hanging around them
At Opelika, Bright and Cannon, and Luttrel
conducted the investigation, Coburn and
Buckner bsing here. The former had wit
nesses as to the many alleged outrages IN Lee
county, but it is said they were totally dis
credited.
Luttrell had Witnesses who proved that the
Government bacon intended for the over.
flowed was sent to Opeika, distant seventy
miles from the overlooked region; that it was
in charge of Republicans and carpet-baggers.
He traced three thousand pounds to one
negro meeting house, where, the day before
the late election, it was distributed to Repub.
Iican voters. He would have proven they
made use of more of it, but the witnesses
were spirited away from the reach of the
serge ant-at-arms.
Some negroes swore they had been dis
charged tor voting the Republican ticket,
while others swore they had been beaten by
Republican negroes, burned out of their
churches and generally maltreated for being
Democrats.
The negroes testified that before the late
election the Republican candidates promised
to divide the white Democrats land among
hold property
The negro witnesses all complained Of none
Of the promises being kept, and some of them
were anxious to know if the Congressman had
come down here to see that they got their
forty acres and mule
To-day Messrs. Buckner and Luttrell had
many witnesses to prove an improper use of the
overlooked bacon in this district The COM
mittee would not allow the majority ofthem to
oe examined, giving as their excuse that the
bacon business was not covered by the reso-
luton under which they were sent here. They
have found out enough abou. the bacon bus
mess.
Some negroes and white Republicans testi-
fed that they were intimidated before the
election, but none of them were kept from
voting. The general rule of testimony, as
far as ascertainable, was to the effect that not
Republican meeting was disturbed. There
were Democrats in this county, but riots and
rows were frequent between the Radical
factions, often resulting in bloodshed and
once in death by pistol shot.
It was proven by Republicans that every
case Of murder on the docket here was of
negro for the murder of negro-some fif-
teen or twenty in the past eighteen months
also, that every official in this county, and the
present judges, were Republicans. It was
proven that in two or three instances in the
late canvass a few negroes were kicked by
some drunken Democrats.
It was proven that no United States Mar
shals noticed these disturbances or made any
arrests of either Democrats or Republicans,
under the enforcement act, in the county.
The committee leave for Mobile in the
