New Election Law.

New. ORLEANS, February SIN the
Senate to-day substitute for the House
election bill was passed. This bill pro-
yides for Returning Board, and ena-
bles the Board to count out all the votes
from the districts where any intimida-
ton has been practiced against voters,
especially those OF the African race;
either by personal threats, discharge
from employ, &c. All the Democratic
and two white Republican Senators voted
against the bill, and expressed the opin-
ion that its passage would bring on
trouble and bloodshed during the next
campaign and election:
Mr.. Sypher (Rep.) stated that the Re.
turning Board would be used by the Re-
publicans as artillery against the shot
guns Of the Democratic White Leaguers.
As this bill can not pass the House, a
conference committee will doubtless be
appointed to frame a new bill that will
be more acceptable to both parties.
In the House the committee appointed
to investigate the charges against Judge
Hawkins, Of the Superior District Court,
reported to-day. They make twenty
eight charges against the Judge, and re-
commend his Impeachment.
Mr.. SavOr (Rep.) offered joint reso-
luton to remove Hawkins from Office.
Both the report and the resolution will
be acted upon tomorrow.

GEN. SHERMAN on THE PREsIDEScY AND

Representative james NJ. Dalzell has
jast received the following letter from
Gen. W. 7. Sherman:
ST. LOUIS, February 9, 1876.
DEAR SGR:-Your kind letter has Just
been received, and though l thought
everybody knew my general opinions on
the points Of your inquiry, l cannot hesi-
tate to answer you in such way as to ad.
nit of no misconstruction. never have
been, am not now, and never will be can.
didate for the ehigh office OF President be-
fore any convention Of the people. |
shall always prefer to see that Office filled
by one OF the millions who in the civil
war stood by the Union faithfully,
and OF those l notice many names
willing and capable, the most prom
inent that Of Gen. Hays, now Governor Of
Ohio, whom we know as fine officer and
gentleman in every sense. l do not,
however, wish to be understood
as presuming to advise any one in his
choice Of the man. My wife and family
are strong Catholics, but l am not. That,
however, Is nobody's business. ] believe
in the common schools, and don't observe
the little matters that seem to be eXag.
gerated by the press. In some quarters,
however, these schools are extravagant,
and indulge in costly buildings and ex.
pensiye teachers SO as TO be too heavy u
burden on the tax payers. This tendency
ought to be checked, which may easily be
done without making it political ques.
tion. Seli.interest will regulate this, and
make them free schools TO all, and capa.
bic Of imparting the rudiments Of good
English education.
Yours truly,
W. +. SHERMAN.

Trial OF E. A. Bennett. Auditor.

Governor Jacob was recalled by counsel
for the respondent. He identified a let
Ter offered in evidence by the counsel. He
did not remember having demanded Of
the Auditor in direct words report OF
the fees received by him, but in 1873 he
issued circular to the State officials di-
recting their attention to the require
ments Of the Constitution in reference to
semi.annual reports and in which he ask
ed compliance.
Manager Stuart objected to the ques-
ton as 10 whether other subordinate oil
GERS made report fees, on the ground that
failure OF duty on their part would not
excuse the Auditor.
The Chair permitted the question TO be
asked and Senator johnson called for u
vote on the ruling.
Counsel Morrow said that the same
question was allowed in the trial Of
Judge Prescott, that II was matter OF
interest, the object being 10 elicit from
the testimony evidence that the Auditor
acted innocently II he acted erroneously.
Senator johnson then Withdrew his de-
mand for vote.
Gov. Jacob then resumed. The Treas
urer had no fees and the Superintendent
OF Schools no direct fees TO report. The
latter, however, collected fees as a mem
Der Of the Examining Board. The Sec
retary Of State made no report Of fees to
him other than those to which heWRs en-
titled. He made no report until he (wit-
ness) called his attention to the matter
some month or two since, when the Sec
retary said that he was under the impres.

GERMANY.
Cardinal LedochOWsIkI. 1

BERLIN, February 3.-The small town
OF Osbraw, where Cardinal Ledochowski
il imprisoned, is filled with sympathiEers
gathered to testify their joy at his liberia
tion to-day. Among those present are
many of the high Polish nobility includ-
ing the Emperor's nephews, Princes Ed
mund and Ferdinand. There will be
special thanksgiving services to-day, and
the town will be illuminated.
The Posen Courier statement that Car
dinal Ledochowski will be immured at
the fortress OF Trogan on the frontier OF
Saxony is disbelieyed. Should It prove
correct, however, an appeal will be made
to the Emperor and legal proceedings
will also be taken, since imposition Of
any further restraint without farther
Judgment would be unlawful.
The Cardinal upon his release pro-
ceeded by rail in the direction Of Brestau.
He was informed that II he entered the
provinces Of Silisic, or Posen, or the Dis:
trict Of Frankfort he would be immured
at Trogan.

A STRONG Appeal 10 Bellaire.

A writer in yesterdays Bellaire Inde-
pendent makes the assertion that "real
estate is fearfully depreciating in value"
in that place. He states that ut is said
by those who deal in that kind Of proper
ty that the depreciation has been fully 10
per cent per annum." He estimates the
investment in real estate in Bellaire at
about S2,OO0DOO, which at 10 per cent
would show decline OF 100000 per an
num-"an amount simply enormous"
He also states that "there is said 10 be
200 unemployed mechanics and laborers
in the city" Computing their labor at
81 25 per day, or $4,000 per month, he
figures up an aggregate of $4,000 year
"lost to the people Of Bellaire in labor
alone" "But this is not ALL"
"Those 200 unemployed men must have
bread and butter, and clothing, and shell
ter, which at low estimate OF 30 cents
per day per man, would amount to Sl00
per day, and $1,000 per month, or $780,:
900 year-making grand total OF
$4,000 year, hopelessly lost to our
people. Oh, but some one will say, the
item Of $4,000 for the necessaries Of life
must be expended, whether those men are
EMPLOYED or not. Grant il; but does it
not occur to your mind the friends OF
those unemployed have to he'll them to
that amount; that they will be just $780,
900 poorer in that item alone?
What is the remedy? According to
this writer, it is for the monied men OF
Bellaire to come up to the help Of the
proposed Bellaire & Southwestern mar
row guuge road that has been so much
discussed. he ventures the opinion that
II they do it, will at once put new face
on affairs down there. 1t will stop de-
probation and stimulate business OF all
kinds"
Asto the prospects Of the monied men
doing this, the Independent speaks as fol-
lows:
"New life has been given the Bellaire
and Southwestern. Several thousand dol
lars Of additional stock have been taken
within week, and canvassing commit
tees are still hopefully at work. Our peo.
pie, at last, seem to fully realize the vital
Importance OF this enterprise to Bellaire,
and are determined that it shall succeed.
A large meeting was held at City Hall
Saturday night, at which addresses were
delivered by Col. Poorman, Col. Sullivan,
and others, and canv assing committees for
each ward appointed. These committees
are actively at work, and we are inform
ed have secured several thousand dollars
Of additional stock.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Charleston
Courier, familiar with sOlomon's writings,
expluins why mob law is just now so
rampant in the Kanawha country, by
quoting this verse from Ecclesiastes:
"Because sentence against an evil work
is moi executed speedily, therefore the
heart Of the sons Of men is fully set in
them to do evil"
The moral Of this, as applied by the
correspondent, is that hereafter the civil
law must do its work more promptly and
Justly than in the past.

As WAS to have been expected, the
Charleston Cduricr is indignant over the
finding in Burdett's case. It informs US
that the sympathy for the Captain down
there "among all classes Of the commu-
nifty is very great" His conviction is ac-
counted for by reason Of "Iocal influences
at Wheeling" which, for the last two
weeks Of the trial, "were very active
against the Treasurer" So active indeed
that "the impeachers had gone SO far as to
threaten retaliation in Democratic con-
yenuons upon any Democratic Senator
voting against conviction" "There has
been in that city and the regions there
about a loud clamor for somebody's
scalp"
We simply give these quotations as
specimens OF the Cotlrier's article. Per-
haps the most refreshing remark in the
whole batch is one TO the effect that in
and around Charleston the conviction Of
the late Treasurer "will be generally re-
garded,. and indeed is being already criti-
cised, as a vote to give Governor Jacob
possession OF the State treasury, by re-
moving an officer whom he could not
control, and enabling him to appoint a
successor subservient to himself and the
city Of Wheeling"
From these extracts the reader car
Judge of the tenor of the whole article
The Democratic members OF the court
should make note OF the local influences
that are compelling and oyerslaughinl
their judgments here, and see that they
do not operate in the case OF the Auditor
