The following letter, from an old COM
panion in arms, was received by Governor
Packard last week. It's earnest words of
approval and the thorough appreciation Of
the situation it exhibits are gratifying as
coming from an old friend, and at time
when some who should be equally warm
and have more reason to be faithful to their
leader are doubtful in their expressions;
SAVANNAH, Ills, January 90, 1877.
Governor S. B. Packard:
MY DEAR SR-Your noble record during
the last presidential canvass in defeating
the attempt by the Democratic party of the
South, cOuntenanced and upheld by its
Northern wing, to rob the freedmen of their
franchise by intimidation, vioIence and
murder, which they undertook by process
that shames the civilized world, commands
the respect and admiration of the loyal
masses OF this country. YOnr State made a
very wise and judioiOus choice in a man
who is fully identified with the great prin-
ciples of the Republican party, and who is
fitted by ability and experience in public
affairs for the responsibilities of the high
office of chief magistrate. Now, as ever,
the loyal people of the State of Louisiana
will cling with unchanging faith and con
fidence to the man who has proved himself
inyincible upon the field of battle, and
equally courageous and wise in administer
ing the affairs of the State. Upon your
patriotism and courage the loyal people Of
your State rely.
My long personal Acquaintance with you
upon the field, facing the guns of these very
White Liners, oonviDces me you are not the
man to be intimidated from deing your
duty as then.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
w. w. JORDAN,
Formerly First Lieutenant of Company B,
Twelfth Maine Volunteers.

Beverly Nash, State Senator and Hayes
eleetor on the presidential ticket of South
Carolina, swears before the congressional
investigation committee that a short time
previous to his casting his ballot, at the
meeting of the Electoral College, Mr..
Childs, banker of Colum bia, sent for him
to come to his bank, and there endeavored
to bribe him NASH to vote for Tilden in
the Electoral College by paying him $4,000
down and $4,000 on casting his vote, ac-
cording to contract Nash also swears that
Childs offered at the rate of $3333 3l3 per
head for three State Senators who would
vote to admit Democratic contestants
enough to get possession of the State gov
eminent. 1t seems to be considered by the
Democracy that the bare denial of Childs
that he had done 80 childish thing is sufi-
cient to refute the oath of Nash. 1t seems
TO the Democracy as absurd as that $4,000
should have been sent all the way to Ore
gon to "set up" the Cronin returning board.
Will that bar'l of money never run dry9
bers of the electoral commission, thus de-
priving the President of the Senate of the
power of insulting the PicayuaeS country
by appointing Senator Sherman.
Little6eld can not say whether he or
Governor Wells destroyed the papers from
Vernon parish, though he saw them
burned-except those he carried to his
uncle.
Littleield did not know until he went to
Washington that it is forgery to alter elec
tiOn figures which have been compiled and
certified by the legal officers. He does not
yet seem to be aware that the Republican
party can not be bAsAned if he forged re-
turns, altered, burned and abstracted of.
fetal documents, and kept the Democratic
committee informed of all his proceedings
On the twenty-ninth instant Circuit
Judge Carpenter rendered the followin e
decision:
l. l ind as conclusions of law, that d.
| H. Chamberlain was not, on the seventh of
December tast, legally installed as Cover
nor of South Carolina.
3 Wade Hampton was not on the four
teenth day of December, 1876, legally in-
stalled into the ofioe of Governor of said
| State.
| 3. The attempted installation of D. H.
| Chamberlain being illegal and void, it did
not operate in law as a resignation of the
office ss Governor, which he held at that
time, as by the constitution the Governor
holds his office for two years, and until his
successor is chosen and qualified. And al
there has been no legal qualification of his
successor, D. FL. Chamberlain is lawfully il
possession of the executive Office, and emit
tied to discharge the functions of the same
until such qualification takes place. A cast
similar to the one tn at induce d the above il
now pending in the Supreme Court.

A jolly row has broken out in New
Hampshire between the Bourbons and the
Young Democracy. Quite q number Of the
leaders of the Young Democracy are deter
mined that they will not support Daniel
Marcy under any circumstances, and the
BourbOns arc considerably alarmed in view
of the situation. Their choice is MeKean
for Governor, and they are determined to
stand by him whether Marcy gets out of
the way or not. The Bourbons say that if
any game of that kind is attempted they
will retaliate on the Young Democracy by
cutting the names of Salloway, of Frank
lin, and Kent, of Lancaster, in the second
and third congressional districts, and
voting for Hon. E. G. Bailey, of ContOo
cook, and John T. Sinclair, of Bethlehem.
1t is certain that the Democrats will be
obliged to make some satisfactory arrange
ment with the Mexican men on the Cover

show Of strength. II is said that Congress-

rather have a church with ten men in It
right with God than one with five hun

so made as to throw some light upon the
conditions necessary in fixing the atten-
tion. Interesting experiments may also
be made by substituting a fragment of a
plane mirror for the sheet OF paper.
Looking through a rather large tube at a
distant object with the right eye, the re-
fiected image of the left eye will appear
staring up the tube, the adjoining parts
OF the head being invisible.
3. Substituting for the ink blot
small hole cut through the paper, the
small hole can also be made to appear
within the tube, distinguishing itself by
it's different illumination, the surround
ing paper being invisible, unless stten-
tion be directed too strongly to the paper
in which the hole is cut. The relative
illumination OF the small hole, and the
space Immediately around il, depends
upon the relative illumination Of objects
upon which the tube is directed. and
that of the sheet of paper exposed to the
other eye.
f. Keeping the same arrangement,
place at distance of one foot from the
end of the tube a sheet of paper so that
objects beyond il are still visible; arrange
matters so that il is visible to the eye
looking through the tube, but not to the
other, directed at the small hole in the
paper sheet This second sheet will now
appear to be traversed by hole the
same in size as that cut through sheet
No. /.
Cutting a small hole in sheet No. 2,
matters are easily arranged so that it ap
pears within the hole which was before
seen within the tube. These expert
ments may be utilized in showing the
simultaneous accommodation of the two
eyes.
5. Tubes of this kind, blackened on
the inside, are very convenient in study
ing color sensations. Using two such
tubes, look through one with the right
eye, say. at red. through the other with
the LETT eye at green paper, illuminated
10y the direct solar ray. The color SEN
sations fade with marvellous quickness
Transferring both eyes to either color,
say red, the eye fatigued by green sees
the red greatly intensified, the effect be-
ng rendered the more striking by the
simultaneous impressions received by the
two eyes. Experiments in the combina-
Jion of color sensations will readily sug-
test themselves.-[ American Journal OF

1t is possible that the phenomena here
described may have been observed be

record of them.

a tube about an inch in diameter Look

and hole will appear to be cut through
the palm of the hand, through which the
tube passes. That part of the tube be
tween the eye and hand will appear to
be transparent, as though the hand were
seen through it.
This experiment is very old, but seems
not to have found its way into scientific
literature.
2. Replace the hand by a sheet of un
ruled paper, upon which a drop of ink
has been placed. By proper manage
ment, the ink blot may be made TO ap

paper that the hole which is apparently
cut through it, comedies with the blot

upon the illumination. 1t seems as

ments, refreshment sets in, which again
renders possible the exertion necessary
