J. Boston Howell, big, black,
greasy niger, was in Pulaski Sat-
urday, and tried to make people be-
lieve he is the Savior. He is on
his way to Russia to attend to the
bloody war which he says is to
usher in the millennium. He says
he is the special Savior of his color.
The devil has been robbing his
color of their privileges, and he
brought on the late war for their
deliverance. Then they passed
through the KukluX ordeal, fiery
furnace of Red Men and lastly were
bcset by the Nominees (his words)
and now the luminosity between Cog
and magog was raging, and the
bloody war would not leave men TO
bury the dead, but the crows would
clean the battle fields. He got us
to write a letter to President Hayes
stating these facts and asking a
loan ct $500 to take him over to
Europe to control the price of
wheat in our favor. He could have
gotten the money in Pulaski, but he
would not take it when he found
that the man who offered it pro-
cured it of the devil. He says he
is not subject to temptation, but if
ne were to take that money some
thing might slip. We read him the
Letter from Jesus Christ" circula-
ting hereabouts and he repudiates
it utterly, saying that he never saw
anything of it anywhere in the god
head, not even down to the seven
seals, which contain all things. He
firmly believes he is the Savior.

Some of the issues presented in
the Louisiana case are widely diff
fercnt from those of Florida, and il
is possible that, in view of the
palpable illegality of the Returning
Board, and of their monstrous, high
handed frauds, Mr.. Justice Bradley
may call halt and separate him
self from his party associates. He
was chosen the umpire of the tribu-
nal upon the theory that he could
rise above the atmosphere of party,
and he may do so. The political,
personal, social and family infu-
ences which infest and surround
him are, however, all unfavorable
to his acting independent ly. 1t
will be held in the Louisiana case
that the State could not delegate a
body to determine what votes
should be received or not, for that
is virtually delegating the elective
power to body other than the peo-
pie themselves, and that the board
was contrary to the Federal and
State constitutions; and, secondly,
that the Returning Board was lille
gally constituted by reason of its
not having five members, and both
uarties represented in it.

Our Public Roads.

We are glad to see an effort in the
Legislature to improve our road laws.
Senator Flanders has introduced a
bill, which is voluminous in detail,
but its provisions may be briefly sta
ted. 1t provides that each County
Court in the State shall lay off its
county into Road Districts, for
which purpose the Civil Districts
may be adopted; that for each dis
trict commissioner shall be APP
pointed by the court, who shall be
compelled, without good excuse, to
serve when appointed, under a pen
atty Of twenty dollars, to be recov-
cred, on motion, at the next term OF
the court; that each commissioner
shall be charged with the general
responsibility of keeping in good
order the roads of his district; that
he shall appoint an overseer for
each road in his district, whose du-
ties and liabilities are set out in the
bill at length; that a tax of not
more than ten, nor less than five
cents, be annually levied and col
lected, as other taxes are levied and
collected, and that the amount thus
raised shall be kept separate and
apart from all other funds, to be
used exclusively for the purchase of
necessary road implements, the
payment of small fees allowed to
overseers, and the expenditures nee
essary, in the judgement of the court
and the opinions of the several COM
missioners, for repairing the old, or
laying out new roads.
These are the leading features of
the bill, which certainly contem-
plates an improvement in the pres
ent miserable road system that pre-
walls in this State. We should have
noted that its provisions do not ap-
ply to "any city or incorporated
town now required by law to keep
up its streets and alleys" We
should think every farmer in the
land would favor any reasonable
project for the Improvement of our

As the result of that conference
and canvass the Democratic leaders
have gone home tonight in very
confident frame of mind. Indeed, it
is most noticeable fact, in sum-
ming up the situation tonight, that
while the Democratic rank and file
are Respondent, the Democratic
leaders are very confident, and on
the other hand, while the Republi-
can mob is hilarious, their leaders
are very Respondent. They know
full well that Hayes has still many

There may be disposition to re
gard the decision of the Florida
case in favor Of Hayes as conclu
sive of the Louisiana case. The two
cases stand upon very different
footing in many respects. In Lou
isiana the Democrats will object on
the ground that by the laws of
Louisiana the Returning Board is
required to be composed of five
members, at least two of whom
shall be of the opposite party, that
the Board refused to fill the vacan-
cy, and, therefore, was not the legal
ly contemplated Returning Board,
and, therefore, not authorized to act
in the canvass of votes. When a
board is required by law to be COM
posed of a certain number, charged
with performance Of q duty, it is
plain enough that a less number
cannot act unless specially author
lied under the law. 1t is claimed
by the Democrats that no less mum
Der than the full board could en-
gage legally in the canvass of votes.
Besides this, it is contended that
the law of Louisiana expressly au
thorizes different method of con
sidering the vote for Electors, and
excludes the Returning Board from
the exercise OF any power whatever.
SO that the attempted action of
part of the board in Louisiana pre-
sents a question not raised in Flor
ida, where the Commission may
hold that, under the law of Florida,
the Returning Board had authority
to canvass votes cast for Electors
and to exercise judicial functions,
while in Louisiana it may hold that,
under the law of that State, it had
no power at all, or had none except
as full board.
But our hope, expectation and |
conviction is and has been that in
the Oregon case, where there are
no questions of fact disp uted, |
where the Commissioner cease |
to be jurors and become sole
" judges, that majority of them
will hold the Watts vote null and |
void and either give the Cronin
vote to Tilden or reject both Watts
md Cronin, and thus throw the
election of President into the
House and of Vice President into
he Senate.-Americaa l0th.

HEWITT'S HOPES.
What He Thinks About the Sit
uatiOn as 1t Stands.
He is Disappointed at the De-
cisiOD, but Still Has Conf
dence in the Final Result.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Mr. Hew-
lit, Tilden's right hand man, in 8
conversation last night said he felt
disappointed over the Florida de-
cision, as it gives countenance to a
doctrine. fatal to free govern
ment, this doctrine being that Con
gress can not set aside the decision
of a Returning Board, except that
such Board should be known to be
illegally constituted. He says the
theory of the Tribunal seems to be
that these Boards are q State or.
ganization, and are amenable only
to the Courts of tie States in which
they exist, but that the decision need
not necessarily affect the Demo
crat cause in Louisiana because the
questions are raised, first, that the
Returning Board in that State, com
posed as it was of only four mem
bers, was a body unknown to the
laws of Louisiana; and, second, that
the Returning Board, granted it was
legally constituted body, had no
right to canvass the electoral vote,
that duty devolving upon another
Board composed of certain State of
ficera. The chief disappointment
to Mr.. Hewitt in the Tribunals de
cision, is that it tends to show the
body to be partisan organization,
and not Judicial one, rs he had
earnestly hoped, and yet he says it
would be very unjust to impeach
the Tribunal with charge Of parti
sanship based solely on yesterdays
vote. He still has confidence that
the Commission will eschew party
sentiment when the grave and vital
issues before it come up for deter
mination. "But we must abide by
the decision of the Tribunal" he
continued, "whatever that decision
Or those decisions may be. That
given yesterday will serve as a warn
ing of the necessity for constitu
tional amendment giving to Con-
gress the right to intervene, and, if
necessary, nullify the action of the
State Board of Canvassers, or else
law that there shall be no such
board"
