The Presidential Conns.

The developments of fraud in the
Louisiana case, have continued from the
time the matter was first touched, down
through all the phases of the investiga
ton to the present time so overwhelming
that our original opinion that the State
would not be counted for Hayes, has
been confirmed. The arbitration is COM
posed of a majority of Hayes supporters,
but we are convinced that they will be
compelled by the irresistible evidence,
if nJt to decide that the vote of the State
shall be counted for Tilden, that it shall
not be counted at all. In Florida the pre-
sumption of law and fact are all with the
Tilden side. There are certificates to
two sets of returns. One signed by the
Republican Governor, and the other BY
his Democratic successor; but the proofs
do not admit Of doubt that the majority
Of the votes were cast for the Democrat
ic States. Assuming however that the
partisan predictions of the board viii
control It's judgment in favor of Hayes in
that State; and that in Louisiana either
that the vote will not be counted, or that
1T will he counted FOR Tilden, and his
election viii be assured no matter what |
is done with South Carolina or Florida.

Death Of Geo. l.. Potter, Esq.

The sudden death of George L. Pot
ter, the distinguished lawyer ard eminent
citizen, has cast gloom over the entire
community. He was at Lexington at
tending to his professional engagements
on Monday, actively employed in a case
before the court, and suddenly dropped
his head upon the desk before him and
remained unconscious for several hours,
when death released his spirit from its
earthly tenement. He was singularly
temperate and regular in his habits, and
so far as We can learn had given no pre-
monitory symptoms of dissolution. The
summons was as quick as lightning, but
it could have come to none who was more
ready to meet it. He was born in New
Haven, Connecticut, November 1st,
1872. After graduating with honors at
Yale College hec toreside at Natchez,
Mississippi, in 1887 and in 1912 re
moved to Jackson where he has lived
and been honored by the regard and love
of bis fellow-citizens. To his bereaved
family, we tender our sincere sympathies
in this sudden and overpowering af-
Fiction.

The Mississippi Investigation.
Associated Press Dispatches

Associated Press Dispatches
WAsHINGToN, d. c., February g.
Investigatigaton into the conduct of the
late election in Mississippi was continued
to day before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections.
I. J. Lester, President of the Kinds
County Board of Registrars, who refused
to testify before the committee yesterday
testified that there WAS conference of
leading Democrats of Kinds County a
short time before the election, at which
it was proposed to furnish one of the
Democratic Judges of Election at each
polling place with duplicate key to the
ballot box. Witness furnished about
fifteen of these duplicate keys to differ
ent men. all OF whom were white men,
and, he thinks, Democrats. He slipped
parcel into the vest pocket of one of the
Judges remarking as he did so: 'fHere is
something which may be of use to you"
Did not tell them what use was to be
made Of them, but thought they were all
smart enough to find out how and for
what to use them.
In answer to a question from Senator
Teller, the witness said: 81 suppose my
idea was that If theirs Eele too many
Republican votes In ballot box, the
key was to open the box, that the Re-
publican votes might be taken out and
Democratic votes be substituted in their
stead"
The witness ADMITTED that the Repub-
lican Judges of Election in Kinds
county were generally ignorant negroes,
and it was an easy matter to get them
intoxicated on election day. He admit
ted further that duplicate ballot-boxes
were furnished to one of the Democratic
Judges in every polling precinct in the
county.
Henry Outlaw, of Aberdeen, Monroe
County, testified that all meetings which
colored Republicans attempted to hold in
his county, during the late campaign,
were broken up by armed Democrats
the witness was at a meeting in Aberdeen
during September; at that meeting
seventeen eolored men Wers shot, some Of
them killed outright, and theirs were so
wounded they have since died /:
Democrats had a practice of riding |
through Monroe County at night, taking |
eoloFed men from their beds and whip |
ping them and many Of his race had |
slept out of doors for several nights pre-
vious to the late election, to prevent be-
ing dragged from their homes and |
the witness was wounded In the |
shoulder by a bullet, at political meet
ing in September last.
Upon taking the witness stand, Out
aw asked to be excused from testifying. |
9e said he should not dare return home
f he fold the whole truth.

The Troops Depart From Wash
inStOn.

Four batteries of artillery stationed at
the arsenal have been ordered to Fortress
Monroe. 1t is thought other troops will
leave for posts north and west shortly.
The foregoing was telegraphed from
Washington City, to all points of the
country Immediately after the electoral
bill became a law 1t was simply an
announcement of the fact previously
suspected that they were concentrated
at that point to supervise the electoral
count: or to make a demonstration of an
intention to do so. Dir. Hewitt, chair
man OF the National Democratic Exeeu-
tive Committee, in his speech in favor
of the electoral bill, frankly declared that
he was impelled to support the bill by
the fear that the troops would be used
In that way. Comment is unnecessary.

THE TINNIN BOX.

The Judges and Managers of the
election at the Tinnin box, where there
was a large colored vote, on seeing the
statement of Lester and impatient of the
delay Of getting their sworn testimony
before the public through the channel
of the Congressional Committee, yester-
day made the following affidavits 1t is
not worth while to say here that time
are no citizens whose standing is higher.
1t will be seen that the affidavits are
signed by the managers of election of
both parties. The statements will be met
by testimony from other election mana
gers equally conclusive:

Senator West, in opening the letter,

RECENT appearances indicate that the
Radical leaders. Edmunds, Boutwell, "
Co., who admitting that the President OF
the Senate could not count the returns,
and that in case Of a failure by Con
gress to do so and the consequent cleo
ton Of Tilden by the House, advocated
the arbitration expedient on the same
principle that defeated gambler calls
for a new deal, are beginning to despair
of Hays on account of the Louisiana

Jonas was surprised to find that he was
not invited into the parlor to sit with

six months and got SIS in money and the

Jonas had to walk six hundred miles
to get back to his Dixie. He shook off
