ATLANTIC CITY, July 26.-Ex-Representa-
tive Marcy testified that the fact OF the in-
timidation in the so-called bulldozed pa
rishes was not disputed. He was satisfied
by personal inspection that Eliza Pinkston

sci before the Returning Board. Butter
closely Intercepted him. The witness said
that on the face OF the returns the Nichols
and TiIden electors had received majority
Of the votes; that the Returning Board
threw out 1,5l2 votes to elect the Hayes
electors. The rumor got out that there was
this difference. Question !: Had YOU not
been proceeding on the basis of the Packard
vote at the time? Answer: In the manage
mcnt OF the case before the Board we gene
rally took the Packard vote as the basis.
Witness said, in answer to Butler, that the
condition Of things was earnestly and anX-
iouslv discussed by prominent politicians
and the visiting statesmen and the Republic
can counsel! for the Returning Board. But
Ter put the question because he said it had
been sworn chat that question was not dis
cllssed. WithouC concluding Morey's en-

TIE VALUE OF NATIONAL HONESTY.-Tlle
Treasury Department has information that
the French tive-per-cent. rcntes 600 par)
have advanced in the London market to
1850. the highest price ever reached, and
five per cent. in advance OF the fiye.pcr-
cent. bonds of the United States. London
bankers say that the difference in favor OF
the French bonds is owing TO the tradi-
tional honesty and good faith Of The French
people in preserving their national inteSri-
ty and credit Among them a word uttered
against the national faith is considered
worse than utterances Of conspiracy or trea-
son, and consequently, in times OF reyolu-
ton. even when without 4 recognized gov
ernment, France has always been able to
borrow money at reasonable rates, and at
all times to maintain high credit in all the
markets OF the world WASHINGTON Star.
