In addition to the S237 900 Mr.. Lewis is liable
as endorser for $35, 800, and lis defendant in a
Canadian suit for $4,000. He can figure $685.
900 he has lost in trade and $685. 900 by failures.
He had three years ago large amount of
property in South America, but he couldn't get
at it to make it available. He stated that there
was balance of $75, O29.96. Some of this liza
bility was for accommodation received by
Messrs. Lewis, some for borrowed m oney, some
for supplies furnished to vessels and owners, of
which $4,000 was owed in Portland, and $780,
900 to j. Baker & Co. of Boston.
Mr.. Strout stated that the assets if the prop
erty ould be disposed of under favorable cir
cumstances, might amount to from 500, 900 to
$125000 This was simply rough estimate,
however, Mr.. Strout said, and not much reliance
was to be placed in it, The assets include 24O feet
of flats at Fish Point, ship yard at Fl III Point
mills at Wickham and Dandy, Canada, with
100000 feet of lumber and 5000 acres of land,
$1,000 worth of lumber on wharf, $4,000 Post
land and Ogdensburg railroad stock, $1,000 of
Merchants Bank stock, $500 worth of horse
railroad stock, houses in Portland and Deerng
on which are mortgages of $4,000. The Port
land house cost $4,000. Of vessels they
own seven thlrty-seconds OF bark Ella, eight
thirty-seccnds of bark s. B. Hale, two-eights of
the Sarmiento, nine thirty-seconds of the Co.
lima, twelve thirty-seconds of the Tatay, fifteen
thirty-seconds of the Woodside, six-thrteths
of the james Mccarthy, two thirty-seconds of
the Stllman, nine thirty of the Ar
Cher eight thirty-seconds of the Annie Lewis
one thirty second of the Edith Davis, four thir-
ty-seconds of the @. r. Lewis. Against Messrs.
Lewis & Co.'s interest in these vessels it is un-
derstood that there are certain claims for sup
plies, amounting to some $4,000 or $50, 600
which the holders claim should be allowed as
against the vessels.
AT the conclusion of the statement, on mo
ton of 8. G. Dyer, committee consisting of
s. G. Dyer, W, f. Milliken and Rufus Deer
ing was chosen to examine the books, get the
value of the assets and report at a future meet
ing. The meeting then adjourned

DOCBLE-BARREIED

DouBLE-BARRELED governments
are popular at the South this year.
South Carolina has been for some
time enjoying duplicate Governors
and legislatures, and now Louisiana
is similarly equipped. The rival
legislatures of the latter State met at
New Orleans on Tuesday, the Repub.
lean body holding possession of the
State House, and the Democratic or
Sanization meeting in st. Patrick
Hall. The Republican or regular
Legislature have confirmed the Re-
turning Boards returns and declared
Packard elected Governor. The
Democrats have thus far confined
themselves to the manufacture and
Illumination of protests. There
seems to be no indication of violent
measures by either party, and the
conflict OF authority will probably be
settled without bioodshed.

Rights OF Passengers.
Chicago Tribune


Dir. George Van Houghton, OF
this city, had occasion recently to
travel on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati &
st. Louis Railroad, better known as
Panhandle route. He purchased a
ticket at Logansport, and entered the
front car of train composed of but
two passenger cars. He found the car
filled with smoke, which was offens-
i've to him. He left it and went into
the rear car, where he found the
seats all occupied, few of them
with but one passenger and baggage.
When the conductor came in and de-
manded fare, Mr.. Van Houghton
showed his ticket and requested a
seat in the car. The conductor told
him to 60 into the front car. The
passenger replied that he had been
there, and that the smoke made him
sick, and refused to give up his ticket
until provided with seat in first
class car. The conductor, without
attempting to furnish seat, stopped
the train, and, with the assistance of
his brakemen, put him off, he resist
ing with all his strength. The con-
ductor then threw his valise off on
the opposite side of the train. This
occurred three miles from Logans-
port i'll the woods, and Mr.. Van
Houghton walked back to the city
and brought suit. The case was
tried in the United States Circuit
Court at Indianapolis last week, and
the plaintiff received verdict of
$4,000.

They Feel It in Their Bones.

Judge Mackey, Of South Carolina,
the gentleman who was the bearer of
the letter of Wade Hampton to Gov.
Hayes, is quoted by the Cincinnati
Commercial, as quite freely express
ing the judgment that the Democrat
ic leaders of South Carolina not only
acknowledge the fair election of
Hayes, but are prepared to acquiesce
in it without protest. He says:
The Democratic leaders of South
Carolina, satisfied that their own
State and Florida must be fairly
counted for Hayes and Wheeler,
have no confidence in the attempted
exclusion of Colorado, the tinkering
with the electoral vote in Oregon, or
the warfare against the Returning
Board of Louisiana,-a Board which
is a feature of the laws of that State,
prepared with direct reference to a
condition of affairs known to exist in
that State. More than this, those
leaders are strict constructionists of
the Constitution, and believe the
President of the Senate has the exer-
else of all the discretion allowed in
that instrument before the counting
of the Electoral votes, which 1t per-
emptorily commands shall take place
when the Certificates" that are in the
custody of that officer are opened by
him. He opens the certificates. The
counting is i sum in simple addition.
The Constitution orders the count
ing and declares the result.
Holding these views, the election
of Hayes is accepted as certainty.
The cry of conspiracy, with which
the Northern Democrats are confus-
ing themselves, is without echo in
South Carolina. The attempt to
pump up indignation and to threat
en- the direst consequences it the
claim of the Democratic party that
they have succeeded is not conce-
ded, is noticed by Southern conser-
vative men with distrust and con-
demnation. Hence the language of
Hampton denouncing "the infam-
matory utterances of a portion of the
public press" and the statement that
it is the firm and deliberate purpose
of the people Of South Carolina "to
condemn any solution of existing po-
litical problems that involves the ex-
hibition of armed force, or that
moves thaough any other channel
than the prescribed forms of the
Constitution or of the peaceful agen-
cles of law"

Harper's Weekly asserts the true
principle regarding the enforced pro-
duction of private dispatches before
Legislative investigating committees
for partisan purposes, as illustrated
by the recent action Of the House. 1t
says:
The great mass of kilograms are
sent in good faith of their privacy,
and the public sentiment Of a free
country like this is no less shocked
by the seizure and exposure OF tele-
grams by partisan Congressional
Committee than it would be by the
same Committees seizure and open
ing of the mails. The offence is
heightened by the fact that this for
ay of the Committee is not in further
ance of facts professed to be ascer-
tanned, but merely in the hope of
stumbling upon facts that may be
damaging. 1t is q dragnet lowered
upon chance-a grotesque and
wanton violation of the fundamental
safeguards of liberty.

The bearer of the Tllden elector.
al vote of Louisiana has made his ap.
pearancc in Washington. He is
credited with furnishing the true and
long-delayed explanation of the trou.
bic in that State. According to this
veraclous informant, the whole trou-
bic arises from the intimidation of
Democrats by the colored women,
the "Aunt Dinahs" and echoes" of
the State. He says that they put on
the breeches and voted in large num-
bers, and, more and worse, that they
enforced their supremacy over the
white trash by actually dragging
Democratic speakers from the stump
by their coat tails. Could outrage
furthe, go? And is not the Tilden
party Of Louisiana, thus ruthlessly
bulldozed and its rights trampled up
on by tyrannical and cruel negro
wenches, an object of pity and COM
misseration? What is this world
coming to?
