One day strange customer came to
a Detroit grocer. He wanted some
goods and he paid cash down. The next
day be made another purchase and paid
cash, and as the days went by his face
and his cash became familiar. One day
he returned with the change given him
and said:
II believe I am an honest man. You
paid me twenty cents too much"
The grocer received it and was
pleased. Two days after that the
stranger returned from the curbstone to
say:
"Another mistake on your part; you
overpaid me by forty cents.
The grocer was glad to have found
an honest man, and was puzzled to
know how be could have counted so far
out of the way. Three days more, and
the stranger picked up dollar bill in
the store and said "This is not my
dollar, I found it on the floor, and you
must take charge of it,

man brought down a wheelbarrow. or
dered eighteen dollars worth of groce-
ries, and would have paid cash had he
not forgotten his wallet. He would
hand it in at noon as he went past, he
said, and it was all right with the
grocer.
That was the last of the honest man !:

THE RETURNING BOARD QUESTION

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. THE points of di-
vergence between the two Houses of the
Legislature on the election law, are thus
summarized:
The existing election laws contain the
Returning Board clause, approved by Gov.
WarmOth, in connection with the election
of 1872. The House bill abolshes the Re-
turning Board altogether, while the Senate
substitute retains the Returning Board, but
provides for its reorganization, three mem
bers to be appointed by the Governor, with
the consent of the Senate, and two mem bers
TO be elected by the House. The power and
duties of the Board are stringently defined.
In cases of violence, intimidation or blood
shed, they are given power to send tor per-
sous and papers, and compel the attendance
of witnesses. and to administer OathS; and
if, after inquiry and examination, said re-
turning officials, or majority thereof, shall
find and determine that there was not a full,
fair and free election in any such locality,
poll, ward, precinct or parish, for any of
the reasons, or from any of the causes stated
in this section, and that the result of the
vote or election, in any such locality was ma
terially affected thereby, then, and IN that
case, they are not to count, compile, or give
any effect to any, vote or votes cast at any
such locality, poll, ward, precinct or parish,
but shall discard and disregard the same in
the canvass and compilation of the vote east
at said election.

ST, LOUIS, Feb &c. c. Sniffin, Assistant
Secretary to the President is here The
defense will explain Babcock's notes and
support of Mcdonald and Joyce by showing
the high position held by these men with
Babcock's superiors. Rabcock thought he
was advancing the interest of the Admins
tration and its political party by supporting
their views, but had no knowledge of the
whisky ring. 1t is expected he (Sniffin)
will testify.
LATER.-Babcock appeared in court to
answer the indictment charging him with
completely in the whisky frauds. He was
attended by Judg ge John X. Porter of New
York, Emory A. Showers. of Chicago. Ex-
United States Attorney Gen. Williams.
Judge john Maud Chester, Fl. Krum, OF
ST. Louis, as counsel His father-in law, J,
S. Marshal Campell, of the northern Dist
of H., and his brother &. w. Babcock, of
Kansas, were in the courtroom near him.
The District Attorney, d. p. Diper, and
special counsel, John 0. Broadhead, and
Maj. Lueller Eaton, appeared for the Gov
ernment. 1t was Gen. BabcOck's first ap-
pearance IN court since his indictment when
he formally, pleaded not guilty. The Jurors
remaining on the old panel, and those espec-
tally summoned for this case, were called
over but only half of them were present
they having been selected from outside of
st. Louis county, and some of them not
having had time 10 arrive Mr.. Storrs stat
ed that counsel for the defense very much
needed another day for consultation, and
also to await the arrival of very important
documentary evidence. The counsel for
the Government made no objection to the
delay, and after a brief consideration, Judge
Dillon announced that the case would 90
over until tomorrow morning. but at P.
NJ the jurors would be called again, that it
might be seen who were present.

FRANKLIN, La, Feb. 7.--Members of the
bar of st. Mary's parish adopted a resolu-
tion requesting E. b. Mentz, Parish Judge,
to resign, and in the event of his refusal to
resign, committee was appointed to pre-
pare articles of impeachment to be forth
with presented to the Legislature. The al
legged cause for this action is, that Mentz has
neither capacity nor integrity.
