296 Ia their hats; do not think it IL the
good people Of the parish who do the bull
dozing; think it was done by the common
white people to mako the coiored people
vote the Democratic ticket.
To Senator Mod it alleged
IS reason why Gilbert Carter wac killed
was that he had organized club to kill
white men; heard that colored men were
compelled to swear to that before the con-
gressional committee; do NOT know the
names Of the cOlOred men; the bulldozers
came after me one time.
j. X. Watson (c0lOred), swOrn-Reside in
West Eeliciane; was commissioner of cleo
tion at the courthouse in st. Francisville; q
man named Edinger was at the polls TAX
ing down the names of the colored men vot-
ing the Republican ticket, and would say
to each one of them that 1--WE will visit VOC
in few nights" told him did not think
that was right; he said he would see to me
IN Q few daye; told him he might come ont
and see to me right then; the poll was large
~ Republican; heard at night that the bull
dezers we're coming to take the box; wrote
request to the United States marshal to
have Federal soldiers sent to protect us
while counting the votes, which was signed
by majority OF the commissioners; Gov
ernOr Wickliffe came to me and said that
would reflect on the good name of the parish,
be no interference with the commissioners
if the communication was Withdrawn, and
it was withdrawn; Governor Wickliffe re.
NAMED nearly all night, and there was NO
trouble; in 1875 my store was fred into by
Regulators while was in bed; the bed post
and bed were filed with bullets; q week
later the Regulators came again and burned
| the store; think Colonel Frank Powers or
| ganized the Regulators, but do not think he
would consent TO the death of a man; think
he would have q man whipped.
To Senator McDOnald-Never heard that
Frank Powers was q Republican until he
was appointed tax collector; drew up the
petition to Governor Kellogg on which be
was appointed; it was tho1eht that that
would put stop to the bulldozine; the pc.
tition was signed by Senators Breaux and
Weber, Meesrs. Ray, Clark and other lead
| ing Republicans.
Julius Green, c0lOrod, swOrn-TO Senator
McMillan-Reside 10 West Felioiana; in

house and told my wife must go down to
the courthouse he next day and resign az

| in October, 1876, the bulldozers again came
to my place and killed ny brother, Isaac
Mitchell; left the parish and have not beer
home since; left my crop in the ground
| have been Republican all my life.
To Senator McDOnald-Think the coroner
would do what he could to bring the muir
dererA to justice, but did not dare make
the affidavit, even if knew the parties; Dc
not know whether was indicted for NAL
| feasance in Office or not; was indicted fol
something, bat did not do it.

The Democratic lawyers who have come
before the public TO deliver law arguments
on the counting Of the electoral votes, have
exhibited only their facility at their trade
of warpiDg the law to suit either aide Of q
case, as they happen to be retained. A
conspicuous example of this Is given BY .
letter of John A. Campbell, of Louisiana
formerly judge OF the Supreme Court of
the United States, to Senator Bayard, and
published with intelligent Endorsements by
Democratic journals. His conclusion is d.
rectly consrary to his premises and reason
log, yet he offers this forced result a. the
opinion of q lawyer, and Democratic Jour.
mails puff it as such.
He cites history to show that the trainers
Of the constitution meant to make the cleo
ton of President wholly independent Of
Congress, and that they were very Bkromu-
Gus upon this point. Yet he comes out 1t =
conclusion that they did give the House q
Representatives supreme control over chs
election, by giving it power to reject votes.
and thereupOn, unless the Senate came
TO its terms, to take the election into iss
own hands. BY such q process ex-Judg0
on level with feed attorney, perveRting
law to earn bis bread and butter.
Ex-Judge Campbell goes to argue that the
President Of the Senate is the officer of tbs
Senate, and therefore lie subject to the di-
reetion of the Senate. This Is not true. IN

and in opening them and counting thu cleo

strange that this has to be told to an e1e.,

of course they withheld it from the Senate,
which is but one branch of Congress, and
of course from the President Of the Senate.

Now, what is Campbells sequence TO this
premise4 From it he leaps to theeonclunion
that the House has entire control over the
| election, and, by objeeting to votes, can
| take the election to itself, unless the Sen
ate shall come to its terms. Campboll
makes an elaborate ltoricaI and original

diction. This ex-judge gives 8 specimen Of
reasoning which would disgrace a boy in
0ne of our com mon schools. 1t shows that
the bench had q happy escape when Camp

finds the law to be just what he ia feed to

As the moon revolves around the earth
from west to east, she advances eastwardly
in her orbit about thirteen degrees every
twenty-fOur hours. Hence, when any part
of the earth, in its revolution, comes under
q part of the heavens where the moon was
the evening before, the moon is not there,
but has gone eastward thirteen degrees,
and therefore the earth must turn on its
axis as much longer as necessary to bring
that part under the moon, which requires
generally, not always, about fifty min
utes. The same thing occurs the next eve
ming, and the evening after, and thus
the moon rises most Of the year about fifty
minutes later each day. Now, as the tides
are produced mainly by the moon, IL will at
once be seen, from this eastward movement
and the later rising each day, why they
must occur about fifty minutes later each
succeeding day. While the lunar tide is
thus daily tagging, the solar tide occurs at
the same time. Hence thepe two tides al
wsys begin to separate after new
moon, being further apart each day,
until they again coincide at full moon,
when there is q higher tide than usual,
called spring tide. Then again they
separate, until new moon occurs, when they
once more unite, producing another spring
tide. 1t must not be supposed that the
whole body Of the ocean, to its prOfounGest
depths, is equally moved by the tides. The
tides are mainly superficial, and except
where the water is of moderate depth the
lowest parts are only slightly disturbed,
but to what depth the tidal current extends
can never, perhaps. be satisfactorily deter
mined. The Gulf stream is about three
Thousand feet deep, having for its bottom q
bed of colder water of various depths; but
as the stream is the result Of other causes
than those which produce the tides, it is
not safe TO estimate the depth Of the tidal
currents by it's own.
