WASHINGTON, Feb. THE committee
on the powers and privileges of the house,
this morning recalled kenner, OF the Loul-
siana returning board, and he was exam
iued by Mr. Lawrence and testified that
he ha1 no knowledge of any alterations
having been made in the return from

per having been burned or otherwise de-
stroyad, nor did he know of any proposition
for receiving money for any act in conUec-
ton with the electoral vote, nor abstrac-
tiou OF papers; was not acquainted with
Maddox; never heard any conversation be-
tween Gov. Wells and Littleheld.
Being intcrrogated by Mr.. Field witness
said the returning board didn't feel safe,
and heuce there was necessity for
troops to protect them; We felt intlmi-
dated. but this didn't affect the action of
the board. Witness voted to throw out
more than 10000 Tilden votes. There
were irregularities 10 one or two parishes
some voters were kept from the polls by
intimidation, others killed and Others
made to vote against their wishes.
Question. you now say that il
your opinion 1000 votes cast in favor o.
Tilden were cast by persons against theil
will owing to intimidation? Answer
think there were 1000 thus given.
Mr. Field Does it not appear tha
gross fraud was perpetrated as to return

rather bad / should say something was
done with the vote of that parish.

coNsUMPr1vEs TAKE NOTICE

Every moment OF delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor of DR.. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup, as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that caf be
brought to support the pretensons of any other
medicine. See DIR. schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest re-
spectability, who have beea restored to health af
ter being pronounced incurable by physicians
of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences
will show; but the cure ts often promoted by the
| employment of two other remedies which D, .
Scheack provides for the purpose. These addi-
tional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills By the timely use of these medi-
cines, according to directions, DR.. Schenck certi
fes that most any case of Consumption may b'
cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal of
flee, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must b
addressed.
