GOVERNOR HAMPTON has been max
ing canvass of several days in
Hampton county, which produced the
good effect Of making Colonel Moore
and Major Warren, the regular and the
independent Democratic candidate
for Senator, submit their claims to him
for adjudication. Warren claims that
the convention was stolen from him
by seating illegal contesting dclcga-
tions. Governor Hampton has called
primary election for the esd, at
which only Democrats of 1876 will
vote, to decide the rival claims. All
parties have consented to this. We
believe Hampton was the first county
to reject the recommendation for
nominating by primaries. The ayidity
with which sho now resorts to them is
great argument in thoir favor.

dwindlcd down to paltry plurality
of 3,l54, while the combined opposi-

pending or proposed amendments offered
thereto?
AnHWer.|l have not and do not know of any
money being offered for that purpose

Al have. I have conversed with different
members of the House and Senate.
Q.-Have you talked with Mr.. Brandt, of the
House?
AL did.
Q.-state briefly the circumstances, and what
was said and done.
A.-Saturday morning M. Brandt came to
room 81 in the Merchants hotel with Mr.. Geib.
Geib introduced him to me when Brandt
stepped into the room. The first 1 recollect
that was said WAS by Brandt, that he called to
talk about the text book bill. Said he should
support the amendment to the text book bill
making it optional with the districts to take
books or not, and he said he intended to do no.
We talked for several minutes. gave him
my reasons for opposing the bill. Asked me
what l thought of the amendment including
cities. l replied that l did not consider it e.
sential, and did not think it right that cities
or towns should be compelled to use the books;
that it seemed to me the best way to get along
was to leave it optional with the districts.
Brandt said he thought 81 too and intended to
vote for the amendment making it optional
That was all that was said about this text book
bill. Then talked of other subjects; about the
grasshopper troubles; said his county suffered
and he had suffered, and was hard up No
thing more had been said as to how he intended
to vote on the text book bill. Mr.. Brandt is
in my congressional district. never met him
before this time. did not procure the ap-
Pointmcnt for him to come to my room, and
did not know that he was coming. took him
to be an influential man in his community
When Brandt got up to leave the room /
give him fifty dollars. 1t was my own money,
and not given with any idea of procuring his
vote on that amendment, a. he had stated un.
qualifcdly that he was a friend of the amend
ment: The point had in my mind was to Sc
cure him as friend in case l wanted bis assist
ance in political matters in the future.

A Famous IS StOrc.'.

The following extract from the letter
OF an American lady in Paris to her
friend, will interest our readers: The
Americans we don't meet on the Boule-
wards we meet at the Bon Marche. You
never knew anything like it, Ella. When
l want to call upon my friends 60 to
the Bon Marche, and am sure to find
them. This magasin does business to
the annual amount of 81 I ,400, 600, half of
which comes out of American pockets!
No wonder, then, that our pcoble arc
welcomed most courtcously. I'd treat
anybody with distinguished consideration
for much smaller amount, cash down,
wouldn't you? The other day Bob and
took it into our heads that VIC wanted
to go all over the Bon Marche, so We
drove to the Rue de Bae, entered the
great building, and ad dressed the first
good. looking young man We saw doing
nothing.
(Other things being equal, Ella, I pre-
fer the good-looking ones, don't youO
Was it possible to 60 over the establish
ment? We were Americans of an inquir-
ing turn ofmind. The moment We made
known our nationality, the dark eyed
young man exclaimed, in the best of
English, II shall be delighted to devote
the afternoon to you. am compatriot
-almost-I am Mexican by birth, born
on the border line between Texas and
Mexico, and love the United States"
(That's more than some Mexicans do, El-
la. It all depends on whether they are
in Office or out.) "Our instructions are
to do everything in our power to please
the American ladies'" If ever any dis
putc arises" saye Mr.. Bouclcault," sthey
arc right, no matter at what cost to our
selves" What do you think of that, El-
la? Isn't Mr.. Boucicauit clever? He
knows that all women, like Mrs. Stern
hold, ''can't bear contradiction; it flies to
their heads.'
One thousand eight hundred persons
are attached to this magasin, 1000 being
men, and 200 women. Many of them
i've in the building, and everything seems
o DE done for their comfort There is
ale d'arnees, where 100 out Of the 900
nacn box and fence twice a week. There
are library, a BARRIERS shop, salon with
piano, band of 100 and a chorus of 200,
a reunion once a year, a house physician,
a hospital; and, my dear, Mr.. Boucicault
offers his employees free evening lessons
in English, German, vocal and instrument
al music, and provides lectures on scie1-
tiGc, historical and literary subjects. Isn't
this humane? Do you wonder that
Mr.. Boucicault wins the admiring regard
of his people? Then, he looks after the
women, and interests himself in getting
them we'll married.

Q.-Gd you converse with Geib the night be-
fore at the Merchants3
| Al did.
Q.-What was the conversation?
A.L1t was brief; cann0t hardly tell; but tho
| subatAnce was-can't yo6 give me lift on this
bill. He told me he could not, and that was
about all; he said his constituents were in favor
OF the bill, and that ended tho conversation as
far Is know. -..-,
Q.-Did you intimate to him that parties that
would vote for the bill could get 4lO0, or any
sum-?
Al did not. had an envelope in nv
hand; did not show it to him, to my knowi-
edge. What was in tho envelope do not, know.
This was in tho Office or saloon of tho hotel I
am not positive whether I asked him if he
could not get another member. If I did,
have forgotten it. I did not send anyone to
bring Geib to the hotel,
4-Have you paid out any money for, or
belonging to any parties in order to defeat this
Merrill text book bill?
A-Not to any member of the Legislature,
out nave employed ono or two to help defeat
the bill for short time not connected with the
Legislature. did not see Geib, to my knowl-
edge, on the morning that Brandt came to nv
room until he brought Brandt. He came to
the door and introduced Brandt, and left i'm
mediately.
w. H. Mills,
Q.-You stated on the floor of the House, that
men had been taken up out of their bed and
offered money.
A.-Au the information have is, that par
ties were taken from their beds on Friday night,
from the International to the Merchants. Mr..
Gelb said they came after him after he was in
bed, and took him to the Merchants in 4 car
riage. He said some offers had been made,
which he was ready to state when called on.
rms was Saturday morning. In regard to Hy-
land it was mere rumOr; heard it at the Wind
sor cannot tell who told me.
Question by chairman-Do you know of any
attempts to influence votes against the text
book bill by money or other pecuniary consid-
erations
Al know of one case but decline to tell I
do not know of the effect Of declining to an
swer your question.
Q--Are you aware that by SO doing you are
in contempt of the House?
Al am not. I think the answer would
tend to disgrace me but not to criminate me.
MILLS SECOND APPEARANCE.
Wednesday, Feb. 20.-Mr. Mills appears be-
fore the committee and states that on reflection
ne knows of nothing that would implicate any
person as trying to influence votes for or
against the so-called text book bill in any cor
rupt manner, and desires to answer the ques-
tlon proposed to him by the chairman, and
wishes to have the testimony stricken out after
that in reference to Hyland.
The other evidence was of an unimportant
character. John Gcib testified to having intro
duced Brandt to Hall at his (Brandt's) request,
but knew nothing of money being paid save by
Brandt's statement. No other witness was
found who knew of money being used.
After the testimony was read ]. P. West
moved that Liberty Hall be brought to the bar
OF the House Tor ccnsure, and such other action
as might be deemed best, but the resolution
went over under notice Of debate, and when
this page of our paper was printed, had not
been acted upon.

Murdered Dy RobAcFp.

On the 23d of February, J. w. Barron,
treasurer Of Dexter Savings hank, at Dexter,
Me-, not coming home, search was made for
him, and he was found locked in the vault
handcuffed, gagged, and with a rope around
his neck. He was senseless, and died next
morning. He had several bad wounds on his
forehead: The robbers obtained less than one
hundred dollars, and it is supposed they mur-
dered the treasurer because he would not
open the safe.
