Jurisdiction OF the Returning Board, al
Understood by Benjamin X. F0rman.


Understood by Benjamin X. Forman.
Benjamin Il. Forman was q member of
the Fusion Returning 8 oard Of 1872 The
returns of that year were canvassed und or
identically the same law in force this year.
Mr. Forman's views as to the powers of the
Returning Board are clearly set forth in his
testimony before the Senate investig ating
committee. We copy from their report,
page =, as follows:
Q1es.ion-In making your count of the
vote, did yon reject any of these returns!
Answer-Ies. sir; we rejected a few. Here
are those We rejected. The whole
vote OF the parish of Iberia, in consequence
OF riolence and intimidation established by
the Gfidarits Of a large mumber of citi-ens.
The whole vote Of the parish of st. James,
because the returns ,rere inc0D pletc and be-
cause tie ballot tores arerc taken possession of
by armed men not authorized to do so. The
whole vote of the parish of st. Martin, on
account of riolence and intimidation at the
polls by United States troops and armed
bands of coiored men styling themselves
deputy United States mdrshats. There rere
the OfidaoitS of a great number Of citizens,
rhich raS the ccidcnce required 6y the ta,c
for uS TO act rpon.
Mr.. Forman evidently had no doubt as to
the po,cer of the board of which he was a
member to u,ror out votes for proper cause.
The Republican board, acting under the
same law, will discharge its duties as fear
lessly as the "Forman board" of 1872 did
theirs. As the Fusionists in that year JUS
titled the action of their board, they will of
course see the justice Of the present Return
ing Board, acting under the same law, do
ing precisely the same thing.

AmuseInents.

The great drama of "Rose Michel" which
was played at here once by amateurs was
acted at the Varieties Theatre last night by
the new stock company for the first time in
this city. The story hinges upon murder
committed by the keeper of wineshop near
nocent witness of the tragedy, which was
enacted for the purpose of robbing the vic
tim. The wife's mouth is sealed that the
prospects of her daughter, who is about to
be married, may not be blighted by family
disgrace. Suspicion falls upon an innocent
nobleman, whose mother had greatly be-
friended the murderer's wife, Rose Michel.
Upon Rose falls the burden of the piece.
She struggles with the conflicting desires
to vindcate justice, to denounce a criminal
to save a friend and benefactor, to protect
the heart and hopes Of her child. Miss
Rosa Rand makes the moss of this
strong emotional part The only moral
defect in the play is put in the form
of an honest woman shielding crime, not
because she loves the criminal, but because
a mistaken and perhaps selfish affection for
her child makes her cowardly in the face of
duty and Justice. In the pathetic and pow
erful acting of Miss Rand this is over.
looked, and at last the heroine makes par
tial atenement By forcing her husband to
assist at the escape of the innocent pris-
oner. The husband is ehot and killed while
SO engaged, and 50 comes retribution and
the truth of the mysterious murder. Mr..
Wheelock plays the sullen and ungrateful
part of Pierre with skill and ability. A
fine audience witnessed the performance
last night, and was vlsibly affected BY the
absorbing story and realistic acting. Mr..
Dressers scenery was excellent. That for
the fifth act, showing the prison at Chatlet,
with view of the Seine and Paris by N oon-
light in the distance, was il his best style of
art. The drama will be repeated until fur
ther notice.
Mr.. DeVivo, manager for Mile. lima De
Murska, has engaged the Opera House for
a season of italian opera in this city, to
commence about the middle of December.
He is negotiating for the appearance of
Castelmary and Palmeiri, the new prims
donna, and promises to give performances
worthy OF the patronage ,of the lovers Of
Opera.

young Maurice, with a contemptuous
smile, tossed his pistol in among the reeds.
Another splash told us that the second
weapon had followed it. Then they stood
and looked at each other again.
"Look here, old chap" the elder gen.

thing that NAV have occurred. When a

UNIVERSALLY
RECOMM ENDED.

We have just received October, 1879 commun-
ication from nearly every druggist in New England
and the testimony is universally in favor OF san
ord's Radical Cure Tor Catarrh. We believe there
never was remedy SO popular wherever known,
and certainly we feel that never was one more de-
serving Of praise. Founded upon correct scientific
principles and calculated by the most accomplished
physicians to meet the everest forms of Catarr1,
but 20 remarkable as to excite public attention and
cause the sale to exceed tenIuld that of any similar
remedy ever before compounded.
While many are anxious to make public their tes-
timony in favor of the Radical Cure, others and
among this number may be found many OF our most
r, sp, cted citizens dislike to become publicly
deI titled with go loathsome di- case. Hence, In
the following case we are unable u give the name,
but are permitted to state the severity aud condl
ton of the case Def re after using the Radical
Cure, and also that the geutem IN occupies II re-
spouslb!e office in one oil our state IN htutions we

Geo: S. Bangs, general Superintend-

Postmaster General Jewell, claims that
the net increase of the cost of running
the fast mail train will be less than
SIS, 900 per annum, sum not to be
thought of when compared with the
benefits and advantages of that branch
of the service. He regards the value of
this service to the business and intelli-
gence of the country as inestimable,
and he pays high compliment to the
railway management of these trains, ank
says their regularity and high rate of
speed is something wonderful; that in
all the trips thus far made, there has
been but one train behind time, and
that only eleven minutes. These
trains are SO exclusively under control
of the Postofice department that even
Mr.. Vanderbilt himself is not permit

The Gray-Bennett Contest.

A majority of the committee on
Privileges and Elections, consisting O.
Messrs. Flint, Neff and Griffin, have
submitted a report to the Assembly in
the above case, wherein they set forth
that they find from the testimony that
the votes of six unnaturalized alters,
cast in the town of Highland, should
be rejected and deducted from Mr..
Gray's vote, and that one vote cast in
the town of Ridgeway for j. Bennett,
written on a Reform ballot where Gray s
name was scratched, rejected by the
town canvass ers, should be added to
Benefits vote. With these correc-
tions, Bennett has / ,034 votes; Gray,
1929, giving the former 5 majority,
The committee state that it appeared
that many voters for Mr.. Bennett lost
their votes in consequence Of the polls
being closed too early, but made no
point on that. They also state that
Mr.. Gray took some dispositions tend
ing to show four illegal votes cast for
Mr.. Bennett, but the evidence is sec
ondary, and to Offset the four illegal
votes claimed by Mr.. Gray to have
been cast for Bennett, the latter claimed
there were many more illegal votes
cast for Gray; but this the committee
did not allow, for the reason that the
evidence thereof was secondary as in
Gray's case.
The minority of the Committee
Messrs. Wiltse and Frost-have also
Submitted a report, which, without de-
nying any of the facts set forth by
the majority, says that they find no
good reason for going back Of the local
cahRass,and disturbing Mr.. Gray, and
it is probable that when the case comes
to a vote the "Reform" members will
generally take the came view of IT,
case.
The case is to be finally disposed
of this (Thursday) afternoon.
