The EIectoraI Tribunal.

The Electoral Commission met at half
past ten O'Clock on Saturday. Messrs
O'Con0r, EVarts and Black spoke on the
admissibility of evidence.
Justice Miller submitted a motion that
the counsel on either side be allowed two
hO1rs to discuss the question raised by Mr.,
Evarts as to whether any other matter
shall be considered than what was laid
before the two houses by the President.
Mr.. Thurman thought the SCOPE should
be enlarged, else if the commission should
decide to admit evidence there would be no
advance made. He proposed that the dis
cussion should include what evidence
might be admitted and also what evidence
was now before the commission.
Justice Miller modified his motion as
suggested and it was adopted.
At the request of Mr.. Evarts an addi-
tiOnal hour was given to either side in or
der to permit counsel to arrange for their
argument.
Il was then agreed that three counsel
be heard on each side, but not to extend
the time.
Mr.. Merrick and Judge Black then spoke
on the Democratic side, and Stanley Mat
thews and E. w. StOughtOn on the Re-
publican side, each occupying about forty
five minutes.
On Monday Mr.. Evarts spoke on the
Republican side, and was followed by Mr..
O'ConoF for the Democrats.
A Washington dispatch of the Associated
Press of Tuesday says; .-........
The commission remained in session until
eight o'clock this evening. The conference
will be continued at ten O'Clock tomorrow
mOrning, No votes taken, nor any cOnelu-
sion reached on any point at issue. Ii is
confidently stated that no evidence will be
taken in the Florida case except such rs
relates TO the action of the Florida State
denee is doeumentRry. If the proceedings
are thus restricted, the commission may
have the case ready for joint session before
the close Of the week Speculation regard
ing the result is neither ventured nor en-
tertained by anyone.

POLITICAL MOVIES.

Sunday morning the Picayune abused
the Hon. w. w. Crapo as mot unlike q
Frenchman." for his name, saying it was
given by the sailors when cast from q
vessel on the Massachusetts coast; his ma
tivity "nnbeknOwn to any ancestral line;"
his politics, "a Radical, uncompromising,
deliberate and vicious" and all because
He not only privately asserted, but pub
icly declared that they H. e. Democrats !
had intimidated and bulldOzed, as charged
by the board, and further did all in his
power as partisan and man to cast the
shadow OF distrust upon every piece of tes-
timony ELECTED in our favor.
Mr.. Crapo would not need this specimen
OF the manner honest convictions are treat
ed in this part of the country, but it will
illustrate to his friends the opportunity Of
freedom of opinion allowed Republicans
here.
But the article caused the following com.
munication to be addressed the editor:

"CRAPO."
To the Editor of the Picayune:

To the Editor of the Picayune:
l have known the Hon W W. Crapo
since lS45, when we were schoolbOys; he
was my hOnored guest while in this city on
congressional duty; he merits and COM
mands the confidence and esteem of such of
our ex-COnfederate and Democratic citizens
as the Hon. R. L. Gibson, T. L. Bayne,
Esq, and others besides myself. These
will unite with me in expressing very great
regret that you should have published, on
February 4, an article so unjust as the one
headed "Crspo." That article is no less
incorrect as to his family history than as
to his political principles.
Henry CrapO, deceased, a Governor of
Michigan, was the Hon. W. W. Crapo's
father. The son has always been and is
now a pronounced Conservative Repub-
lican-bitterly opposed to the Radicals in
his party, and also to military interference
in the affairs of this State. It ia doubtful
If Louisiana has in the ranks of Republican
politicians better friend than Mr.. Crapo;
and 1t is, therefore. questionable whether
any honorable gentleman less deserves the
personal and political defamations which
you have ventured to publish against him.
Yours, etc.,

Col. Flaeler as an Hist ,rian.

It is we'll known to the readers OF Ga

the scribblers for the press for writing
local history. If the fever continues to
rage we may expect every man, woman,
and child to have an historical work of his
owD. Col. Danforth first began his inter
esting series of articles on Newspapers
and Newspaper Men in Rock Island Coun-
ty." Then came Capt. Haverstick with a
comprehensive plan for county history
from the time of the Mound Builders. And
again agents are now at work on com.
mercial county directory. But Col Flag
Ter has been very quietly at work for the
last three or four months on an elaborate
history of Rock Island Armory and Arse
nal On Saturday the manuscript was sent
to the Chief of Ordnance, Washington,
aud will in due time be published in book
form, making work of some 300 pages
Col Flagler's history includes not only
every detail of Island history, but it notes
the growth of improvements, the water
power, government bridges and surveys
with accurate maps showing the location
Of buildings, etc. 1t has been prepared al
a great cost of labor, care, and study, and
will prove, when published, work of per
manent value and interest. The people oil

HELMBoLD's BUcHU. - Helmbold' $
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections Of the
urinary organs. As diuretic, it is supe
rior to almost any other medicine 10 use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made it known
far and wide as reliable and effective
preparation. and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold OIL the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm

to buy of a responsible firm at home, that

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalations, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the DUST
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

The Unions Faithlessness TO its Own
Party.

The consistency and good faith of the
Union to its own party is illustrated by the
fact that on Monday it printed a fraudulent
ticket--a fac-simile of its own ticket, with
Pinkley's name out and Choppers in its
place, and the next morning cautioned
people to beware Of fraud and urged them
to vote for Pinkley The Union simply
took the type for Pinkley's name out of the
form and put Choppers in its place, and
then used the same form, the very type
on which the real genuine Republican
ticket was printed, with the fraud inserted
in it, thus giving away its own party nomi-
nee and helping beat its own party friends
with political opponent.
