FALLING To PIECES.

The following persons, who are down
N the Sherman report OF the Louisiana
returning board as having made afiidavits
in the custom-housc for use before the re-
turning board, solemnly swear now that
the allidavits as published in the report
are false and were not made by them !;
that their statements were altogether DIFF
ferent from those published; that they
were induced to sign these atlidavits with
out reading them under the belief
that they were properly and
truthfully made out, and We're not
aware of their falsity and forgery until
they were published. There are many
more persons who have denied the afli-
davits which appear over their sigma
lures; w. Is. Mcintyre, OF Livingston

II the cross-marked aflidavits which
Dir. Sherman received from Kellogg and
Packard were read to the negroes who
signed them it is safe to say that the ma.
jorIty of them would swear that they did
not swear as they are represented to have
sworn, and this Is made plain by the fact
that every one so far who has had his
affidavit read to him has repudiatcd 1t
absolutely.

"TIlE True WAY"

The last issue of Ha1per's Weekly takes
ground against the right of congress to
500 behind the returns" and to decide
which is the legal electoral vote of
state, in the ease Of more than one set be-
ing sent to Washington. The Weekly
argues that the state alone has the right
to decide between two sets OF votes and
that for congress Ito go behind that and
to inquire which certificate ought TO have
had the lawful sanction, would be TO
make congress judicial tribunal and re-
turning board for state elections and to
complete absolute Capitalization"
The Weekly argues that ''the true way
to settle such difficulties as those in
volyed in the louisiana case, for in
stance, is for congress to accept the vote
as sent to Washington by the returning
board, and for the people OF that state to
trust to time for a yindication OF the
truth, "the practical remedy under our
popular constitutional system being the
destruction of the party that secures a
temporary advantage by the fraud" If
1t can be shown that MIR. Tilden
was cheated out Of the cleo
toral vote OF Louisiana by
the Republican returning board OF
that state, the people must put down
the cheating, thieving and dishonest
party at the next election. IL it can be
shown that the state was ''intimidated'
out of Republican vote, the people
must put down the terroriZing and in
timdating party at the next election.
Thus argues the Weekly and there are
two notable points in these
the latest expressions of one Of
the leading Republican papers of the
country. One is its warning against
the contamination of absolute central
ization," and the other, that ii its remedy
tor the presidential difficulty be strictly
applied, the "next election" will know
nothing of the Republican party excep
as a memory and name OF the past.

AcarY UNDER THE SEA.

A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake of Geneva. A tourist, hav-
ing lost his trunk, two divers were
employed TO search for it. While they
were below water they found what
.hey supposed 10 be village, since
covered by the lake. Their statements
led TO All investigation of the spot by
the municipal authorities, who took
measures to ascertain the truth OF the
extraordinary account of the divers.
On covering the placid surface with
oil, these latter were able to odistinguish
the plan of town, streets, squares and
detached houses, marking the bed Of
the lake. The ruddv hue " hich char
acterized them, led the observers to
suppose that the buildings had been
covered with the famous vermillion
cement which was used by the Celts,
C;mbri and the early Ganls. There
are about two hundred houses al rang
ed over an Oblong surface, near the
middle Of which is a space more open,
supposed to have been used for public
assemblages. At the eastern extrenni-
ty lies a large square tower, which was
taken for rock. A superficial inves.
tigation seems to indicate that the con-
strnction of these buildings dates from
some centuries before. our era. The
Council of Vaud has decided to have
fhe aife of the 1wellinua inclnsad hv a
jetty stretching from the land, and to
drain of the water, 80 a. to bring to
light what promises to be one of the
most interesting archaeological discov.
