ALABAMA OUTRAGES.
Some queer Things Discovered.

! SOIIfV queer Things OIScONeFeO'
LIVINGSTON, SUMPTER Co, Ala, Jan
uary 9.-Messrs. Albright and Buckner,
of the Alabama Investigating Committee
yesterday concluded a four days investi-
| cation at this place. Many witnesses
were examined. The killing of Billings
and Ivey, and the whipping of the negro
Doyle were proved There was noproof
/ connecting those acts with political mat
ters. 1t was proven that the Portland
] riot originated in a strife between negroes
respecting the distribution Of government
bacon. Attempts to quiet the disturb
ance resulted IN combination OF the ne
groes against the whites, and an attack
by the former, who subsequently, trans
ferred their operations to the adjacent
Belmont neighborhood, across the river,
and in this county, where the armed
demonstration was suppressed by the
civil authorities without bloodshed.
The reported outrages in Chester prov
ed to be more inventions. 1t was prov
ed that in this county the United States
authorities made arrests, seized horses
and carried away private property with
out warrant, The same authorities
took possession of the county jail, A
colorcd Democrat was arrested without
warrant, imprisoned and subsequently
discharged without examination White
imprisoned a military guard and threat
ened to shoot him if he did not furnish
information which he could net give
1t was in proof that Bob Read declared
he would carry Sumpter county, or ride
chin deep in blood In refutation of
the charges of intimidation of Republi-
can voters, it was proved that in the
last election, the Republican vote in
this county was increased thirty-threc
per cent over Grants vote in 1872. This
was sustained by the official returns.
RICHMOND, Jan. 9-The Virginia
Legislature considered resolutions de
mandatory of the military usurpation in
Louisiana, directing the Governor to

ors of the several States. The subject
was made the special order for Tuesday,

A Heartrending Rum story.
rom the New York Herald, 12th.

From the New York Herald, 18th.
s-En the Newark police court yes
terday afternoon Une of the saddest
and most hesrtrenf,ing cases of fam
lily drunkenness was brought to light.
Before the magistrates appeared a
bright looking youth of seventeen,
Daniel Hedrigel by name, and upon
oath declared chat his father and
mother, Peter and Catherine He'd
rigeI, of No. f93 Charlton street,
were habitual lrunkards, and that
they sQuendeFedthe earnings of Dan
iiel and his brother Charles and the
beggings of several younger chill
dren. Daniel declared he could nei-
ther read nor write, nor even deci-
pller the alphabet; that every penny
he and his brother earned was spent
for liquor by their parents; that the
latter were continually intoxicated.
and that Che only food the family
had was what the younger children
brought in by begging from door to
door and from the relief store.
Charles took the stand and corrobo-
rated his brother. A warrant was at
once issued for the arrest of the
drunken pair. They were brought
into court. Their seedy appearance,
filthy garments. bloated, distorted
features, red eyes, etc. stamped
them as rum drinkers. The boys de-
clared that they had done their ut
most to reclaim their parents, but in
vain. They prayed that they might
DO placed for a season where they
could get no rum. The court so or
lered. and the wretched couple were
'ent TO Jail. According to the mag
strate it's The worst case Of rum
'uination they have ever witnessed.

a Republican Form of Gey-
vernmem6.
Philadelphia Inquirer

Some modern politicians appear to
think that when the Constitution says
that 1.-THE United States shall guar
santee to every State in this Union a
republican form of government" it
means government by the Repub-
lican party. Such is evidently the
idea of Marshal Packard, of New Or
leans, who informed the Congression-
al Investigating Committee the other
day that ne "did not believe re-
publican State Government could
maintain itself in this or any other
Southern State without the aid and
protection oflUnited States troops"
1t is "a very obvious remark that a
government which can only be main
tanned by military force is scarcely
republican" even in form in the
sense contemplated by the Constitu-
tion, and most people will be dis.
posed to say that a government which
can only be thus maintained ought
not TO be maintained at all.

If, with this democratic preponderance in
the cities, that party should fail to carry the
State in the present state of the roads in the
rural towns, the result would be greater
check than was experienced last month in
New Hampshire. II Governor Ingersoll
should be reelected by diminished majority
from last year, the loss of strength and pres
.tige would also have depressing effect upon
democratic hopes. The democrats entered
this contest with some great advantages.
With the exception of Mr.. William
III. Barnum for Congress, they have
better set of candidates than the re-
publicans, for although Mr.. Landers is
not as well known to the country
as General Hawley he is quite as popular in
the Hartford district, where they are both rum
ming. For the Governcrship and the other
two Congressional districts the democratic can.
didates are personally much superior to their re-
publican competitors. Moreover, Mr.. Greene,
the republican candidate for Governor, is
thick-and-thIn supporter Of Grant, and was
nominated on q platform which strongly
Endorsed the President, just after his Louisiana
message. When we add to these advantages
the state Of the roads, which, owing to the
lateness of the spring, present the deepest
mud this year just at the time of the election,
it mus be evident, if the democrats suffer
losses in Connecticut, that the tidal wave
has spent its force. The returns of this
election viii serve as gauge to mark the
degree Of its ebb. As an index of public senti-
mcnt the news tomorrow morning will be
scanned with interest in oil parts Of the
country reached by telegraph wires.

The Connecticut Election.

The weather counts for something and the
state of the roads for great deal IN elections
outside Of paved cities. This was strikingly
exemplifed in New Hampshire last month.
The second Tuesday of March happened to
be bright day, and as the severe winter had
not begun 10 soften, the sleighing was excel
lent on every highway and every byway
throughout the State. In consequence of the
exhilarating bright weather and the capital
sleighing there was larger aggregate vote
than was ever before polled in the Granite
State; aud it happened there, as it commonly
happens in our elections, that a very full vote
is favorable to the republicans. Whatever
the weather may be in Connecticut to-day the
roads are certain to be bad. The frost is just
coming out of the ground, and the deep mud
of the highways obstructs travel in all the
rural towns. This should be an advantage to
the democrats, who last year had considerable
majorities in all the cities of the State except
Norwich, which gave small republican ma
jority. We insert last years vote for Gov
ernor in the principal cities:-
