Elixa Pislkseos,s Truth.

- To back up the assertion that the testi-
mopy Of Eliza Piukstor, her wounds and
all, could be contradicted, tho Democratic
counsel yesterday produced two Witnesses
In oil their evidence there is NO. word
that shakes hers in any important particu-
lar. Tho only contradiction il that indi-
Gated by the line of her ossexsmins
tion-that che had told different stories ~
to the parties that did the deed. To whom
did she tell themi Mr.. Charles Tidwell,
who raised her, gives her the credit of hsv-
ing . violent temper, . character devoid of
veracity. but who would have imported her
to this State in spite of it if she hadn't been
in jail when he left Alabama, for an Of
tense he can not remember. says she told
him two stories. One. the first, that .
party of colored men, niggers he Bays, had
done it. But he heard she accused his son
of being of the party. Was she
likely to tell . father of this accusation
when at the house of her old master she
sought safety and succors He says her
character for truth is bAd, and therefore he
can not believe her second tale. told when
she felt better and safer, that white men
did it, but he seems to believe the first one.
Her wounds are described as slight, she
went over and over again the three-quar-
ters of mile between his house and her
cabin, never was confined in bed, vet he
also says tho doctor told him her wounds
would kill her. Her husband, he says, was
. peace-loving, quiet, sober man, liked by
the whites, did not mingle in politics much,
but was q Democrat, and she ''rabid"
one, yet he whipped . very bad man,
named Brooks, who was able to gather TO.
gether Q party to kill this peace loving
man.
Then comes Mr.. Swan. who knows Brooks
was very bad, and that the election was
very peaceable and AZ fair - ever they had.
He says nothing to damage Eliza Pinkston's
case.
But beyond the testimony about Eliza
there is q mass of Democratic confirmation
of Republican charges presented. Mr..
Swan'e account of the rife clubs is of itself
enough. He testifes there has been no law
and order since 1860, nor can there be until
the Democrats have power. He speaks
freely of Republicans kept from meetings
or rather keeping 1.-The niggers at work al
home" No more than he says, or indicates
- bearsay, could be asked Of Republican
witness.
If this is . fair sample of the proof ir
.urv,ort nf thu Damocpafic caae Let he Re-
publicans fold their briefs, take notes fol
argument. and let their opponents convic
| them selves.

With reference to color blindness or the
lack of power to distinguish colors, it is
stalled that very few of the persons 80 af-
feoted are conscious of the defect of their
vision. Many railway accidents are caused
by the color blindness of railway employees,
and the Swedish railway direction has re-
Gently ordered an examination to be made
By oculists Of all the men in it's employ, 20
as to guard against the danger. Professor
Holmgren, who has Just examined the EN-.
ployes of the Upsala Gefle railway, found
that out of 266 persona examined eighteen
were color blind, and so utterly untitled for
the railway service.

Democratic IneliGibles.
The following dispatches of the Western
Associated Press tell their own story:

Associated Press tell their own story:
ST.. LOUIS, November 81, 1876.
Considerable comment has been INDUCED
in here, growing out of the fact that Cen
eral D. NJ. Frost. one of the Democratic
presidential electors of this State, has been
pronounced ineligible. The General is q
graduate of West Point, served in the army
several years, was in command OF The State
militia at Camp jackson, in this city. when
subsequently, served in the Confederate
army. He claims to have pardon from
President Andre " johnson, and that there
fore his disabilities have been removed, but
the Republicans assert that JOhnsOn's par
don stands for naught against the cOnstitu-
tionsl amendment ON the subject of dis.
abilities, and that therefore he can not act
legally as an elector.
RALEIGH, November q, 1876.
The Democrats here are much excited by
the ditcovery of the fact that one of the
Tide n electors, William B. Glenn, is ineli
elble. He IL ono of the commissioners ap'

the result of q partial investigation by
members of the National Republican Com

disabilities have not been removed, they
having participated in the rebellion. The

A Raleigh special to the New York Times,
November %, gives some additional particu-
lars of the xii ing of DR.. Glover:
DR.. A. j. Glover, supervisor of elections
at Swan Quarter, Hyde county, North
Carolina. was drowned on the night Of No
vember 6, with the Republican tickets for
that county in his possession. He was &C
companied by q party of Democratic, who
enticed him away from the town to the
vicinity of an old windmill, on pretense
of having important information to COM
municate. He never returned alive, but
was found some days after nearly upright in
the water, with his coat drawn over bis
ad and other evidence of violence. He
was invited by one of the parties to drink at
his bar before leaving, and it is believed
that the liquor was drugged. The election
tickets were never found.
