candidate for Representative, in few
well-chosen remarks, in his own inimita'

be Democrat. Any man in Martins

charges made life intolerable to him, till

to the Wsman who is said in New York,
as you inform me, to be his companion
here, | have seen nothing Of any such
person, and from my conversation with
him believe that no such person had any
part in his fight. do not think that
any other person, man or woman, besides
himself was cognizant of his purpose ia
leaving New York or is in any way con.
nected with his presence here. As
said yesterday, | consider him Ia
be simply an utterly broken man.
The World supplements this dispatch
by saying: There is a theory con
nected with Halls Disappearance
which on a close examination Of the
facts seems to cover all the circum
stances Of this other wise incompreheasi

JUDGE PIERCE, of Alabama, tes-
titled before the ku-klux committee
which reported to congress in 1872,
in reply to a question as to promises
by carpet-baggers to negroes about
lands and mules, as follows:
can tell you from what l know and
have seen myself, and also from what
negroes have told me, that they have
been promised lands aud mules-forty
acres of land and a mule-on divers oc-
c%asions. Many an old negro has come
10 me aod asked me about that thing. /
can illustrate it by one little thing that /
saw on a visit once to Gainesville, Sum
ter county. At q barbecue there ! saw
q man who was making a speech TO the
negroes, telling them what good be Lad
done for them; that he had been to
Washington City aud had procured from
one Of the departments there certain
pegs; | say the pegs; be had about two
dozen on bis arm; they we're painted red
and blue; be ssid that be had obtained
those pegs at a great expense to himself;
that they had been made by the govern
ment for the purpose Of stalking out the
negroes forty scres; he told the negroes
that all be wanted was to have the ex
penses paid to him, which was about 81
a peg; he told them that they could stick
one peg down st a corner, then walk so
far another way and stick another down
until they had got :hs four pegs down,
aud that when the four pegs we're down
the negroes forty acres would be in
cludes in that area, and al be had to say
70 them was that they could stick those
pegs anywhere they pleased, on anybody I
land they wanted to, but rot to interfere
with each other; and be would advise
them in selecting the forty acres to take
half woodland and half clear; that no.
body would dare to interfere with thoso
pegs. pages 299. 300.)

The difference between Hamp-
ton and Chamberlain in South
Carolina, and Nichols and Packard
in Louisiana, deserves attention. In
each State the two hostile govern
ments claim to have been elected and
to be supported by a majority of the
people. But there is this impor-
tant difference: Hampton and
Nichols ask nothing from the fed.
eral government. They do not want
to be recognized or supported. On
the other hand, Packard and Cham.
berlain ask to be recognized AND
supported. They do not contend
that Hayes shall merely officially d.
clare them to be lawful governors
they demand that he shall also fur.
nish an army to protect them anC
uphold them-to enforce their au
thorlty subdue opposition, an,
serve as their police-an army to re
main in the State as body guar,
until the next election-to civ,
them the support which the people
whose choice they claim to be, re
fuse to give.
