NEW ORLEANS, Dce 26.-The testimony OF
Eliza Pinketon will probably be taken to-mor-
row by sub Committee consisting Of Senators
WadlciEh, Mcmillan. and Mcdonald. It is not
impossible that tho Witness may cl,at,ec hrr
testimony very materially from what It was III
given To tho Returning Board, as there hnvo
been most persistent etfortt made BY thu parties
Implicated to influence hcr by threats, brtbcs,
ai,tl cntseatcs. It is known that she II1s TO-
cclvcd two or three letters frulr onc Ut the par
Ties whom size originally charged with te,ng III
Capt. Thcubald's Company uu the occaaion of
the surrender If her husband and child,
anl ono Of thcsc letters contained s9u.
The party ia snil to haye heretofore maintRlnctt
lntimate relations with her, and to layc had
much influence over her. How fur that fn'}.i-
ence will extend oyer her testimony remains 10
be seen.
Two MORE LEGISLATURES.
In regard 10 the meeting Of tho Legislature
next slo,lday, 1t Is probable TINT tho Democrats
will pursue the same policy here which has
becn adopted tn South Carolina. No QUO will
be admitted iuto thc Capitol building that day
wno does not l,ayc business there, and only such
who profess to be n,cmbcrs Of the Legislature
as have been returned By the Returning Board.
4 repetition Of the NiItz coup d'ctst WILL
thus be avoided. Democratic members will
TtQDAO14 llEoGNk I'd ~ &A'~ Aoot "a ~s'o
Capitol with their delegations from East Fcciaua
and Grant Parishes In ndvance. These dciecn-
tsons will bc refused admittancc, and the whoo
party will 20 somewhere else aud organize q
Nichols Legislature.
