A CORRESPONDENT Of the Winchester
Home Journal, referring to the Comp
troller's recent circular, denies that the
tax collectors of the State have any
authority to- demand twelve per cent,
penalty on the taxes for the year 1874,
whether these taxes are made out of
realty or personally. We have pub
lished the substance of the opinion of
Major W. W. Mcdowell, County At
torney of Shelby county, which agrees
with the Comptroller's construction of
the laws, but as yet have not offered
any other opinion on the subject.

WASHINGTON, y. c., Feb. 2.-noar- Admiral
Davis, Superintendent Of the United States
Naval Observatory, has made report to the De-
parttnent relative to observations OF Encke's
comet, in which he Says that since the 1et Of
January every available opportunity has been
used to look for that object, an elaborate
ed to the Observatory through tile courtesy Of
the Imperial Academy Of Sciences Of st. Peters
burg. As tho comet was SO far away from both
the sun and the earth 182 ooo, 600 miles from US,
and 142, ,00o, 200 miles from the Bun), it was.
known to be toossfaint to be seen in the smaller
instruments Of the Observatory, and the 26-inch
equatorial was employed for the search. 1he
comet was first seen by Prof. noldon and Pay
OF Jan. &c. It was extremely faint, With no
nucleus and With no we'll defined boundary, but
seemed to be from one to two minutes OF arc
in diameter All attempts to observe tho comet
with the 1nicrometer failed on account of its e1-
treme distance. It will probably be too FAINT to
observe for come weeks.

INTIMIDATION.

Testimony Taken By the Congress
.ional Committee I'M New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 5,-The Congressional
Investigating Committee met at the usual hour
this morning. y.
Thomas G. Manning, OF napides, WAS sworn.
He stated that there was no Intimidation during
the late election. Negro votes we're influenced
by fair argument. There is no White League in
Rapides Parish. The negroes not only control
the labor question, but demand larger wages
than the farmer can afford to pay.
Judge Trimble, OF the Eleventh Judicial Dis
trict, testified to the fairness OF the election.
There WIS no intimidation or ostracism.
Judge Kesicy, sworn. Is Of Winn Parish, and
q member Of the Republican party. Previous to
the election there had been great difficulty about
getting Gov. Kellogg to appoint tho Register.
The people were impatient as election
day approached Kcidlelmer did t.
time after. Kesist1Stion was proceeding quietly
whsn another na1ty appeared and wanted to act
cant to'desist, which he did. Wlnn Parish was
in peaccablo condition. 4 friendly feeling e.
listed betwcen the rnees. Witness has been
elected Judre three times, and has never been
treated except with respect.
Joseph L. Clark sworn. Is OF St. Mazy's;
from Ohio originally. Always voted the Ropub-
Ecan tichct until the last election At thai Enle
large numbers of settlers from the North, who
wele equally Republicans and Democrats, voted
the Peoples Democratic ticket, for the reason
that they did not aee how any honest man in this
State could vote the Republican, ticset fAIr-
Hoar ordered tho 1cnson to bc stricken out.]
Property exposed, like cattio OF vegetables, in
that parish, is always unsafe. Witness never
allows his cattle to 20 exposed without keeper.
Forty murders have been recently committed
mostly by negroes. There was y great deal Of
political intimidation OF Conservative negroes by
Republican blacks. One time. witness tried
to hold cofored meeting Colored speak
ete, who wanted to speak on the Conservative
side, dared not face the negro crowd, who 1ondly
threatened to kill Them in case they. mounted
the stand. When United States soldiers came
there, they disseminated the report that the
negroes would not be disturbed It WAS fire.
quently asserted that the negro would be en-
shaved il the white party goE into power. In
my own precinct GO colored votes weso cast
for tho Conservative ticket. which, owing to
q compromise. between the whites and
blacks, would hare swept tho entiro
parish, but for the extraordinary efforts
put forth by the Kellogg party. There WAS
no Intimidation of KepublcanB and TIE
that there should be none.
The magistrates, Judge Metz. aud others, are
regarded as very compatsnt men, and own apars
Of sugar plantation which cost 937, 600. Can
not tell the value Of such property now. Voted,
though Republican, against his ticket because
honest men on the ticket had their hands tied. !
