At about half past II o'clock yesterday @. s.
Sauvinet. the co ored ex-civil sheriff residing
at No 5 Kerlerec street. committed suicide In
the front room of his residence by shooting

the agonies of death.

only survived the wound three-quarters OF an
hour.
The unfortunate mans brother-in-law was
intervie we'd. and he stated that Sauvinet was
compile ely wrapped up in his youngest son.
boy sixteen years old, whom he had sent to
college, and spent large sums OF money on his
education. A few years ago his son returned
home and showed unmistakable signs OF con-
sumption. The father, however, had hopes that
his boy would recover until last Monday,
when he became depressed. and made up mis-
mind that his sons condition was hopeless.
He TOOK him yesterday to nr. ROudanez and
asked him If his son was better. Tue doctor
replied in the affirmative and Sauv1net replied,
''They all say that. Doctor; but II nv boy dies
the river.
Sauvinet then returned home, saw his boy
put to bed, and then went to his own room. All.

taking his pistol placed 1t to his temple and
sent the bullet on its march Of death.
Sauyinet was forty -nine years OF age and In

DEMOCRAT reporter called on Hon. Joseph
Blackburn. one of the Democratic members OF
the Potter subcommittee. now sitting In this
city, for the purpose of learning his opinion
In regard to the investigation now going on.
He found Messrs. Blackburn and Stenger
with party of gentlemen costly enjoying Them
selves at their rooms, No. q Dauphine street.
After being seated the reporter said: Mr..
Blackburn, called to see you first with the
idea of investigating the letter OF John sher-
man, which was received through his attorney

you what conclusion your committee has ar
rived at so far in relation to the electoral vote

We had no doubt that fraud had been conn

Kep-Do you not think that testimony OF wit

lightly valued by the country at largeP
| Mr.. B.-I do not think that the testimony of
such persons will hurt us at all; because @ wit
ness testifies that he perjured himself in
making an affidavit, his testimony, when he is
drawn out, is not the less strong for our side.
Still, I believe that il we had summoned the

disposition should be made of the prize won by
