More ProftIess Investigation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-Field's committee
to-day read the testimony of two clerks as to
the process adopted to discover illegal registra-
ton by sending letters the same as was done by
Johnny Davenport and Postmaster James in
New York.
Mr. Clifford of Iowa, also testified to his in
terviews with Wells and Lttlefield in New Or
leans. After he concluded his testimony Little
field took the stand and gave his version of the
interviews he had with Clifford and said that
the latter advised him to abstract all papers he
could from the Office of the Returning Board
and if possible the minute book, because those
would corrobOrate the Vernon parish matter.
Witness replied he had never stolen anything
in his life and then told Clifford he did cot
want anything further to do with him. This
was the last interview witness had with Gift
ford. Llttefeld denied that he ever mentioned
Gov. Palmer's name in the course of any con-
versation he had with Clifford, and also denied
the statement made by Clifford to the effect
that Littlefeld told him the reason why he was
willing to expose the fraudulent practices of
the Returning Board was because all clerks of
the board had received from Wells $500
piece as hush money, and that he (Littlefield)
had been put off with a miserable little tax
collectorship. He also stated that Clifford was
drunk all the time he was in New Orleans, and
that on the evening he sent the despatch to
Senator Allison, he was so drunk he asked wit
ness to copy the despatch upon telegraph
blank. Lttlefield also stated Clifford informed
him he (GifOrd) had official Information from
Washington that Wells and Anderson had been
paid 100000 to turn the State over to Hayes
He further said Clifford, at their first meeting,
and in presence of Spearipg, said that if this
thing was not worth 100000 to the Republi.
can party he knew where he could 90 and that
he would at once proceed to Albany and see
the Democratic leaders there.
VIM. X. Spearing of New Orleans, Little
fields uncle, was next called and corroborated
Lttlefield in every essential particular as to the
interviews and transactions in which he, to-
gether with Littefeld and Clifford, took part,
The committee then adjourned until to-mor-

How Washington's Birthday was CeIe-
DRAFTED in CharlestOu.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 23-Yesterday from
the flagstaffs OF public buildings the stars and
stripes hoated at half mast, and were draped
with black Grape. The same sad insignia ap-
peared in many other portions of the city. Bus
ness was generally suspended, but instead of
having holiday appearance, the city exhibited
all the quiet and sanctity of the Sabbath, and
the citizens generally remained at home except
a few negroes, until about p. M, when quite
number assembled at a public house to hear an
address by Republican orator on the life of
Washington as contrasted with that of Presi-
dent Grant. The speaker intimated that the
order from Washington preventing parade
was not intended to be put into execution until
the militia companies were marching in pro-
cession, when the government soldiers were to
have been ordered out and conflict produced.
The speaker recalled the fact that the Confed-
crates in Fort Sumter and the Federals on a
war ship, on the 22d of February, 1863 Joined
peaceably in celebrating the day, their guns be-
ing unsolicited for the first time. At the close
of the address the people dispersed and serene
Qniet prevailed.

Inc Westminster RevieaC, January 1877, re-
printed by the Leonard Scott Publishing Co.,
Al Barclay Street, New YORK, contains as fol-
lows: A Ministry of Justice; The Warfare OF
Science; The Factory and Workshop Acts;
The Life Of the Prince Consort; The Turkish
Question: Russian Designs, and English Fro
motors of them; il ohm Locke; Independent Con-
tribution. The Financial Difficulties OF the
Government of India; Contemporary Lltera-
ture.
The first article gives a brief statement OF
the scope and importance of the science of
jurisprudence, and the place which that science
and the administration of law and justice in
accordance with it ought to hold in regard to
the general government and administration of
the state.
1t is followed by very favorable notice of a
work by DR.. White, President of Cornell Uni
versity, on the struggle between science and
religion. The writer points out numerous
fights, in all of which he considers that science
has been victorious.
The long article on the Turkish Question en-
deavors to show that the present dangerous
crisis is due, not to Turkish disagreement,
which united Europe could easily deal with
but to exclusive designs of Russia, incompatible
with any such settlement.

The Life Insurance Troubles.
The latest phases of the life insurance trouble
are the following: New Jersey officers are look
ing for President Stedwell, of the New Jersey
Mutual Life, and President Noyes of the Ma
tional Capital Life, in this state. The occasion
is that the assets of the former company which
were transferred to the latter and ordered TO be
returned by Chancellor Runyon, have not been
so returned. Ex-Judge Fullerton having been
called upon by Receiver Grace, of the CONT
mental to surrender 100000 of securities depos-
tied with him by ex-receiver Anderson, obtain
ed from Justice Gilbert in the Brooklyn Su-
preme Court yesterday an order protecting him
in making such surrender.
A shocking Suicide.
A highly respected woman yesterday threw
herself from the roof of her house to the pave
ment and was killed. The reason for the act
was morbid insanity caused by threatening
letters written her by woman in the neigh
borhood which were unfounded and false. She
leaves husband and two children.
