quest.
Mr.. Marshall objected to reopening the
subject.
Mr.. Wheeler said he was governed in
each case by its own merits. whether it was
calculated 10 supply hid\with information.
| Mr. HOar said the committee would take
the matter under consideration and adjourn
| to seven o'clock.
| Evening Session.
Before the committee took their seats,
shortly after seven, it was generally under.
stood that this would be the last sitting,
and accordingly the remarks of the chair
man did not cause surprise.
Mr.. HOar said-Gentlemen, the committee
have considered the proposition submitted
| to them by counsel for taking further ties.
timony on the part OF one side, and are of
the opinion that the introduction of rebuff
ting testimony under the circumstances of
the case is not a matter of strict right.
Ordinarily in court when the defendant
has introduced new testimony the plaintiff
has right to introduce testimony to rebuff
it, but considering the time which was
to he given to this examination and
the adoption of the rule which limited
counsel on both sides in the matter of wit
nesses does it not seem necessary. If the tes-
tlmOny offered seemed of sufficient gravity
and Importance the committee would Of it's
own motion summon and hear the witnesses.
But we do not think the facts offered to be
proven are of such character as to change
the opinion that may De formed by the
committee or to affect that Of persons to
whom we shall report with one exception.
Tbs testimony of the supervisor of Rapides
that is offered to prove he was prevented
by intimidation, terror of his life and bv
threats from filing the protest as required
by law we would be inclined to permit to
be introduced if practicable. But if it were
taken ne would of course be aeked who
made the threats, and Justice would REQUIRE
that those persons should be summoned to
justify themselves. This is not practicable.
and therefore it is not proper to 60 little
way on one side and not grant to the other
side the privilege of answering.
General Campbell asked that the com.
mittee would take notice of the circum-
stance Of nOn-attendance, and Mr.. Hoar
said it would be before the committee.
Mr.. Zacharie fled tableaus of the vote of
the State for a number OF years, and a
statement by Mr. Hunter Of crimes CON-
mitted.
The following letter from General Sheri.

ernor was influenced by mallgnlty or igEO
rance in signing the law.
Hon. w. w. Howe, recalled-It was sug
gested by Senator Carpenter that the Re
turning Board was unconstitutional under
| article forty-six; the board returned fifty.
four Republicans and fifty,two Democrats
and lett the rest to the Legislature, and
this action was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Frye stated all this was before the
committee in the briefs of counsel
General Campbell filed a "History of the
Insurrection" from clippings from Dem.
ocratic papers; also report of the committee
on the conduct Of the election, with other
documents, for the information of the
committee.
Mr.. FRYE said he was requested to state
for the Republican counsel that they de.
sired to offer certain evidence, as follows:
To rebuff the evidence on intimidation in
Rapides, Mr.. Hunter, father of the Mr..
Hunter who had testified, and leading
Democrat Of RaDides, WHO would contra
dict his son.
To rebuff the testimony that troops were
unnecessary to enforce process of court,
Major Merrill and Lieutenants Ward and
Hodgson and reports OF subordinate COM
manders.
TO rebut the testimony that any negroes
willingly voted the Democratic ticket in
New Orleans; Mr.. Brown.
To rebuff the testimony of Major Burke
relative to the remvoal Of arms, Mr. E. j.
Tisdale.
To rebut the testimony of Mr. Mari that
he did not order the retention or inspection
of telegraphic messages, Mr.. Clarke.
Also, proof in the nature of rebuttal that
nowhere in Northwest Louisiana could the
United States marshal make arrests for
otfenses in violation of the enforcement act
without United States troops, and that no
State troops, or posse OF citizens, could be
obtained.
Also the supervisor of Rapides, to prove
that he was prevented, for fear of his life,
from filing the protest according to law, and
that the commissioners were prevented for
the same reason.
They would state that they had examined
twenty witnesses before the order was
passed restricting the number of witnesses,
and were deprived Of the advantage of
making selection earlier, and therefore

quorum of the Senate in the Wilderness:
then in 1872 and 1873 we had the seizure of
the State House by order Of Durell; there
is no confidence in the workings of the
State government. THE judge gave re-
sumo of the system OF taxation.
To Mr.. Hoar-Was appointed by War
moth, but was not his political supporter in
everything; was appointed judge of the
First District Court, and discharged por-
ton Of a panel of a jury who acquitted a
man for assaulting negro, and said they
had not enough intelligence to sit on jury;
represent parties in the Chattanooga bond
case; own no State bonds; have sold all
city bonds; have no Slaughterhouse stock
and am not connected with any monopolies;
regard all elections in Louisiana as having
been peaceable and quiet; voted in 1868 at
my poll at A. M. for General Grant; there
was violence on both sides; the election
was as peaceable and quiet as that of 1874;
it can not be regarded as fair election in
every sense OF the word.
Judge Howe desired to show who was to
blame for this, but Mr.. Hoar said his state
ment was not an explanation of bis answer,
and directed the reporter not to record it.
To Mr.. Marshall Judge Howe gave an ex-
PLANTATION, too inaudible for the REPUBLICAN
reporter to hear.
To Mr.. Hoar-The Republicans agreed to
stay away from the polls; they did publish
daily an address urging all voters to go to
the polls regardless Of intimidation; knew
of Governor Warmoth calling on General
Rousseau for protection.

material interests of New Orleans have

can fix any value to threefourths of the

RED CLoUD AGENCY,
May 9th, 1875.

Editor Of Cheyenne Leader:
Dear Sir: Thinking an item of
news from this part of the country
might be of interest to some of your
readers, 1 give you the following ex-
tract from "A letter to me to-day, from
Il friend ut Spotted Tail Agency,
dated yesterday:
"Col. Wells, the new Post Com
mander, has just returned from the
camp Of the Sioux City Miner-, has
burned all OF their wagons, guns and
ammunition. Gordon, their leader,
has been brought here, and is now
confined in the guard house, the
balance were taken to Fort Randall
by the infantry command"
Col. Mills left Camp Sheridan about
week ago., To intercept a party of
Black Killers from Sioux City, with
Gordon as their leader, who were
encamped about sixty miles from
Spotted Tail Agency. The above is
the result of his expedition. They
had located and were encamped at
Gordon City. This / learn from II
o fthe party of miners who went from
Spotted Tail and IA captured by
Capt. Rogers command, but started
again and Joined Gordon's command,
and escaped at the time Col. Mills
captured the party. He shows a very
rich prospect, to the amount Of about
thirty cents, taken out from one pan
of dirt while he WAS in the hills, be-
fore being captured by Rogers. 1t is
reported that one nan was killed in
the Black Hills by the Northern In
dams, but cannot find any one to
authenticate il.
The military camp of Sheridan is
to be built about half a mile from its
present temporary locality, in a more
suitable place.

EIGHTEEN HUNDRED YEARS AFTER
DrATu.-A correspondent Of .ei rlc'ons
JournH writing OF excavations OF Pom
peiii, says: Among the most interesting
. of the objects found recently are two
.kcletons,5 one of a somewhat elderly
,mau the other OF woman. They were
found in the Via Stabia among the ash
es of the last eruption, evidently overta-
ken in their flight afdDuried among
cinders. According to their usual meth
cd employed to preserve the external
appearance of objects, liquid plaster was
poured into the cavity, which, serving
as a mould, fac simile OF the forms
was obtained; and thus perfectly pre-,
served, the statue-like bodies were
placed in glass cases in the Pompeli
museum. While appreciating al! the
horror of such a death, anil the suffering
endured. as shown by the position ot
the limbs, one cannot butimagine what
would have been the establishment of
man and woman had some prophet i'll
formed them that eighteen hundred
years after their death, their forms, and
even as much of their garments as were
not consumed in the eruption, would be
placed IN museum for inspection by a
multitude of sight4seers, some from
lands the existence OF which they never
dreamed Of l... ,.r
The poor woman is lying on her face,
and even the form Of her hair, put up
behind, is seen. One arm shields her
forehead, and she is supported by the
other. q Her STORY limbs are well forum
ed, the traces of a garment are seen
passing in folds around her. The man,
although placed on his back in the exhi-
bition, when found was turned on bis
side. One arm rests on his hip the
other is uplifted The face IS somewhat
distorted, but massive and smoothly
shaven. Even the form of the fastening
of the sandals around the ankle, and OF
the long button higher up on the ley To
hold them, is clear y seen. The skele-
ton of tolerably large dog, also recent
ly found, is in the museum of Pompeii,
his whole form preserved in plaster, in
the manner as those just mentioned. He
is living on his back, writhing in suffer
ing, bitrg his hind leg. The rings ON
his collar are plainly seen.
