Is rather confounding. Hitherto
the prosecution had defended and
protected Jones's character, while
the other side attacked it bitterly
now the Mores have him arrested
aud the defense promptly come to
the rescue and furnish his bail
bond. The sudden flop over
is still the talk of the town, but the
prisoners lawyers keep their own
counsel as to what Jones has done
or will do for their side. 1t is GER

Saw all of the visiting statesmen at
New Orleans. They were not con-

merely mentioned to Stevenson,
Matthews and Sherman that the
situation of the white people in the
State was desperate. We had been
defeated by the Returning Board
in 1872 and again in 1874,
end we were afraid of being
defeated again in 1876. and people
were beginning to think elections
were utterly useless. We consid-
