Especial to the Pressl
RocKLAND Jan. 3O.-An inquest was held at
Tenants Harbor today to investigate the
murder of Mrs. Sarah Fl. Meservy. A visit to
the scene of the tragedy revealed that a most
brutal murder had been done. The unfortunate
victim was found in small sleeping room off
the kitchen, lying at full length on the floor
and wrapped in woolen blanket. Her arms
were bound together with cod line. a clond
was wound around th3 neck several times
passing under the left arm, and securely tied
The limbs were covered with bruises and the
head badly cut with blunt instrument in sew
eral places Nothing indicating an outrage
was discovered. The room where the ody lay
was besmeared with blood. The condition of
the premises showed that the woman had made
desperate fight for her life.
The deed was evidently done for money as
she was known to have had several hundred
dollars in the house. The fact that the murder
has remained undiscovered for over five weeks
has given the murderer ample time to obliter-
ate all traces by which he might have been dis
covered A piece Of brown paper was found
in the kitchen on which was scrawled in PEN

The inquest developed no new facts and a
verdict was rendered that the deceased met her
death by strangulation at the hands of per-
son or persons to the jury unknown. A.

Secretary Sherman's Opinion of the Pros
ecution-Anderson's Trial Begun.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Secretary Sherman is
reported as regarding the arrest of the return
ing board as very unfortunate and ill-advised
movement and likely to produce the worst re.
ed out by Gov. Nichols and the conservative
and respectable people of Louisiana. But
they cannot, 1t appears, resist the iutolerant
and lawless elemenG He doubts if Gov. Mich
oils would on this account have the courage to
exercise the gubernatorial prerogative of Glenn
ency. should the returning board be found gull
ty and sentenced to Imprisonment On the
whole, he is forced to take gloomy view of
the future politically and socially in Louisiana
He says the reports that he had gived guar
antee to ex-Gov. Wells of Louisiana against
prosecution are "mere fudge"
The Herald's Washington despatch thus
speaks for President Hayes:
The administration does not trouble itself
about the members of the Louisiana returning
board. The President holds his place BY the
decision of the electoral commission, and not
by any frauds which may have been committed
in Louisiana. If wrong was done there he will
not protect the wrong-doers or seek to stand
between them and exposure and punishment
doing might embarrass him; its discovery and
punishment certainly would not
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-The trial Of An
derson was resumed today. The clerk read the
information against the prisoner to which he
had pleaded not guilty. The first witness for
the state was w. III. Smart and being sworn
said: am clerk of the District Court of Yer.
non Parish L was deputy clerk before. The
document shown me contains my official sigma
ture. 1t is an election return.
Thomas Franklin, supervisor Of registration
OF Vernon Parish, testified after identifying
the returns shown him to the altera tions M ade
after he signed them, that only at poll No. s
were any Republican votes cast, and there only
two for some OF the Hayes electors, several of
them receiving none at all. Looking over the
returns from poll No. 2 the votes were altered
In giving each Hayes elector 81
votes while they received none. At
poll No. 8 81 votes were given the Hayes
electors while they had received none This
was after he had signed the returns. 10 the
consolidated returns of all votes cast in the
the parish, where the Republican electors h ad
received two votes 178 were given to Kellogg,
Burch and Joseph, and 1SO to Marks, Sheldon,
Joffison, Brewster and Lsvissee. The Demo-
cratic electors had received 647 votes which
were altered to 469 votes.
The question If the returns for other officials
had been altered was opposed by the defence
as the charge was only as to electors for Presi-
dent and Vice President. The objections were
oyerruled and exceptions taken.
Court adjourned.

In New York, during the past week, the market
has shown utter inactivity no desire being shown by
either manufacturers or local buyers to purchase
beyond the necessities of the present The state of
affairs has long existed, and dealers have come to
look upon it matter of course showing desire
to force the market with concessions feeling assured
that when stock is actually needed trouble will be
realized in obtaining present asking rates. With the
exception Of California, there is a very limited
amount arriving, and no very great quantity Is ex-
pectsd from any quarter Ths statistical position is
wholly In favor Of the holding interests and 1t is on
ly matter of time when the demand shall improve
and when present figures will be considered low,
provided Congress does not altar the tariff on the for
eign article.
In Philadelphia there is no spirit in The market,
and the manufacturers complain thht the figures te-
allied for many kinds of goods low and unsatis-
factory. There has been some inquiry for Colorado
and Clothing Woods, but without Improvement in
prices.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 80.
There is but little improvement to note in the mar
ket this week. Goods sell slow and at very satisfac
tory prices The unsettled condition OF the curren-
cy question and the likelihood of tax upon several
leading articles tend to make the market unsteady
and trade inactive. The gold quotations have
changed somewhat the past week and the quotations
are now rather Ligher. Gold closed Wednesday,
Jan. 80, at $1.0.21
Beans are rather quiet and we quote reduction in
prices on Pea and mediums. Butter is steady and
family lots are quoted at 25@28c. Cheese are firm
and unchanged. Coffee is dull and prices are tend
ing downward. Copper and cordage are unchanged.

AIS. Duck is steady at the quotations. Fish are
dull as usual at this season. Flour continues very
dull aud prices quoted about 25 cents per barrel
lower on all goods. Rasins quiet and unchanged.
Corn is dull and prices lower both car lots and
bags. Lard is dull and prices lower as will be
seen elsewhere. Leather is quiet and prices are
lower. Lumber is unchanged, Molasses is frmer
but New Orleans is little off. Oils are lower this
week and we quote at 13 and 1sc. Pork is dull and

fessiOn.
WAsHINsToN. Jan. BOW. E. Chandler fur
nishes the following teleeraphic correspondence
between himself and Major E. A. Burke:
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 49,
Hon. William E. Chander:-Before consid-
ering the subject matter of the telegram re-
ceived this day, purporting to be signed by w.
10. Chandler, desire to ask if the author is the
Chandler who, as Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury travelling Through the South in 1865,
corruptly participated iE the spoils gathered by
supervising Treasury agents engaged in robbing
their government, and il defraudng the dis
tressed people of this and adjacent states? Is
it the Chandler who, as Secretary of the Re-
publican National Committee, with certain Re-
publlcans from Louisiana. at conference or
conferences at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York, concerning Louisiana affairs about Octo-
Der, 1872, secretly and corruptly conspred to
take advantage of the absence from Louisiana
of the Governor thereof to assemble secretly
the Legislature, in1peach the Governor, seize
the government. use its machinery to carry the
election of 1872? Is it the Chandler who earn
ed and received fee from Kellogg of $4,000 in
1873, and the encomium that you had done
more for him than auy one except Attorney
General Williams in maintaining his foul and
infamous usurpation of the office of Governor
OF this state? Is it the Chandler who eucour-
aged, abetted and conspired with infamous al
lies in this city to rob y, 900 citizens of New Or
leans of the franchise, and drag them before
the Federal courts, on or about the day of the
late election? Who, in November, 1876, by
telegraph, guaranteed Kellogg that the whole
power of the government would sustain the re-
turning boar1 in counting the vote of Louisia-
ma for the Republican candidates, and then
hastened to Florida to manipulate the frauds of
that state count? Is it the Chandler who has
of late been vainly seeking to stir up the "hel-
BROTH of sectional hate, aud foul his political
nest to the disgust of decent citizens North aud
South?
If yea, permit me to say that the inquisto-
rial powers of political tramps terminated in
March last. Such persons are the subjects of
inquisition.
1t nay, the important telegram shall have
such consideration as it deserves
e. A. BURKE
Chandler replied as follows:
WASHINGTON, Jan, 3d.
Major e. A. Burke, New Orleans:-Your vio-
lent language and false charges against me
leave no doubt about your identity, aud there
fore repeat my iaquiry about the Wormley's
Hotel conferences. Were you present? Was
memorandum made? And will you make it
public? w. E. CHANDLER.
