CAN 1T BE POSSIBLE?

The testimony which has come up be-
fore the Returning Board OF Louisiana,
showing the atrocities which have been
practiced in that state in order that.the
state might be counted for Tilden, will
send thrill of horror throughout the
civilized world. The hideousness of the
story of Eliza Pinkston almost surpasses
belief. Armed men, some of whom she
knew and named, went to the house in
which she and her husband resided, in
the night, and called for her husband,
forced their way into the house, carried
her husband out OF the house, commit
ted IA nameless outrage upon him, and
finally tortured and shot him to death.
While this was being done, her child was
taken from her arms, its throat cut and
its body thrown into the lake; she her
self shot, outraged and mutilated. and
finally left for dead. This is the sub
stance of her story, less the narrowing
details. In atrocity it is equal to the
Bulgarian Outrages. which have, Curing
the past few months. shocked the world.
A vigorous cross examination failed to
shake the woman's testimony, nor did the
evidence introduced by the Democrats
the next day disprove it. The next
Misunderstanding her testimony before the
Board, the house i'm which the PinkstOn
woman was, was entered by some men
whom she recognized as the same as
those who assisted i'll the first
outrage. and demanded that, at
the peril of her life, she make an
that her testimony before the Re
turning Board was false. This she refused
to do and gavesthe alarm and the assail-
ants were arrested. A guard was then
placed around the house. The testimo-
ny of this woman is scarcely less horri-
BILE than that of many others who have
appeared before the Board. The tesUi-
mOny has shocked the northern visitors.
both Democrats and Republicans, and
full investigation will doubtless be made.
1t is hoped, for the sake of American civ
iliZatiOn, that such terrible atrocities rs
those mentioned, may be disproved, but
the fact that the blacks were terrorized,
so that they dared not vote, is too clear
" proven to admit of doubt.

NO POLITICAL suGNrruCaNCE.

Ever since the late election the Repub-
licans have claimed Louisiana by fair
vote and fair count, and there has been
no doubt from the first but that the state
is as honestly Republican as Michigan.
The Republicans have claimed from the
first that there had been SO much terror
ism, so much ''bulldozingr in several of
the counties, that thousands Of Republi
cans were prevented from voting The
Democrats claimed most positively that
no such intimidation existel !. They
claimed this up to the time that the re-
turning board took up the vote of the
contested parishes. and the testimony
commenced coming in thick and fast that
men, women and children were killed
and maltreated, and that .bulldozing'
was Systematically carried on by the
white Democrats against the black Re-
publicans. The proof was too over
whelming that there were these disturb
ances in those parishes. Therefore the
tone OF the Democr tic leaders and Dem
cratic papers has changed and they no
longer make heated denials OF these out
RACES, but now say that they have no po-
litical signihcation OF course these
scenes of vic ence did occur, but they
were caused by bands of outlaws roam
ing about the country and were not man.
aged in behalf of the Tilden Democracy.
nor for the purpose of preventing the
blacks from voting. This is certainly
the lamest defence that has yet been Of
fered. IL is virtually admitting the en-
tire charge. There has been proved be-
yond a doubt. that in several parishes in
Louisiana there was not fair election
held, because the blacks were afraid to
vote. All this cannot be denied. The

A Card to the Public.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, in fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their close imi-
tation of our Trade Mark. 10 secure the
people we have placed upon each genu-
inc box of Holloway's Ointment the fac
smile of the signature of our agent. Mr..
Jos. Haydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of
the law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of American people will aid
us in our efforts to protect their health.
and help us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar of JUS
tice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless
Mr.. JOS. Haydock's signature is attached
to each box of Pills Or pot of Ointment,
and the end will soon be reached.

and side, with great difficulty in passing urine,
which often, and in very small quantities,
frequently accompanied with blood and eXcru-

remedies recommended for my complaint; Lave

skillful physicians in Boston, all of whom pro-

ALA.
A MODEL Democratic Returning Board
is one that can exercise ministerial func-
tons only when declaring the result in
dicial functions if the face of the returns
show a Republican majority. A board
equipped with this compound, double
action power. with recip-ocating attach
ment-under low pressure when count
ing the face of the returns, and high
pressure when counting the back. if the
face is Republican, is the only kind OF
canvassing board permitted by Demo-
cratic constitution and worthy of Hew-
tits and Wade Hampton's ''forefath-
ers"
The indications are that the Democrats
of South Carolina propose to play the
louisiana McEnery game, with a sham
Legislature and pretending Governor of
their own. If they do, the result will
be the same as in LouisIana-the United
States government will not recognize
them, and they will have to subside. AL
ready the Democratic members of the
House have Withdrawn in body. leav-
ing the Republicans to organize the
House unopposed. Those of the Demo-
Gratis who acre elected refused to take
4 hi vxrhn Of
elected, or whose seats were in dispute,
were given seats also. Give us our way,
or we will bust the machine, was their
motto.
The city Of Philadelphia gave Hayes
about $4,000 majority. and the Confeder-
ates raise Il big cutlery over it as fraudu-
lent, and is therefore an Offset to the 3d.
900 majority for Tilden in New York
city. But Philadelphia is an old Wing
stronghold; she contains more comfort
able homes in proportion TO her inhabit-
ants than any large city in the world;
she also contains 4 smaller number of
paupers, criminals and drunkards. On
election day the grog-shops and bar
rooms were all rigidly closed by law, and
kept so by the police. These cogent
facts cover all that is necessary to say.
The more stirring up there is done of the
vote OF the large cities, the worse they
will smell to the lovers of honest and
pure government. TRY again, COnfeder-
ate editors.

NEARLY BLIND,

H. r. STEVENS: Dear Slr-In expressing my
thanks To YOU for benefits derived from tile use

formed on my eyes. and all to no good result. FL
nally the disease principally settled in my body,
limbs and feet, and at times in an aggravated
way
Last Summer was from some cause weak in
my spine and kidneys, and 1t was at times hard
TO retain the urine. Seeing your advertisement
in the Commercial, L bouv ht bottle of VEGE-
TINE, and commenced using according TO direc-
tions In two or three days obtained great re-
lief. After using four or five bottles noticed it
bad wonderful effect ON The rough. scaly blotch-
es on my body and legs. still used VEGETINE,
and the humorous sores one alter another disap
peared until they were all gone, and / attribute
the cure of the two diseases to VEGETINE, and
nothing else.
If l am ever affected with anything of the kind
again shall try VEGETINE as the only reliable
remedy.
Once more accept my thanks, and believe me
TO be, Very respectfully,
