In Louisiana. The colored people ger

In Louisiana, the colored people gen.
orally voted with the Democrats. At
New Orleans hundreds of the most in
huential colored men stood at the polls
all day and worked heartily for the
Democratic ticket. The result cannot
be attributed to bull-dosing, as there
was no canvass, on account of the yell
low fever, and those who voted did SO
voluntarily. The Charlestown Neaos
and Courier says that many of the
polls in South Carolina the colored
men came up by the hundred and vot-
ed the straight Democratic ticket.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12.-Everything in East st.
Louis is outwardly quiet but there is evident
ly an undercurrent of apprehension that more
trouble is near at hand. Mayor Bowman's
lawyers, three in number, have given their
opinion that the iniunctions granted him and
the general law council, are not legal on the
ground that remedies for the alleged
wrong are simply supplied by the
common law and statutes, and that courts of
equity and chancery have no jurisdiction in the
case. The charter council met to-day, and in
structed City Marshal Carpenter to procure the
records of the city from the person in whose
possession they are. Shortly afterwards
the marshal reported that he had made the de-
mand, but that the holder of the records re-
fused to surrender them until served with a
writ by the sheriff of the county.
An affidavit to this effect was made, and
the marshal instituted to lay it before Judge
Watts, with view of bringing proceedings
for contempt of court by the general law
officers. 1t is probable the Injunction will be
so tar respected that the general law Bow

PoTTER's POINTS.
Reassembling of the Committee--stanley
Matthews Again Fails to Appear, and
Ben Butler Proposes His Scalp.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Potter invest
eating committee resumed its session this
morning, but in the absence of several mem
beers no witnesses were examined. Gen. Bus-
Ter asked to have Stanley Matthews summoned.
Mr.. Potter said he had been summoned Satur-
day, and he had replied that an important en-
.gagement at New York would prevent his at
tending, and whatever he intended to do he
deemed of no consequence to the committee.
From this reply Mr.. Potter said he inferred
that Senator Matthews did not mean to respond
to the summons.
Gen. Butler remarked that if Matthews an
swered that he would not attend or obey the
summons of the House of Representa-
tives the sooner the issue made, the
better for the House and Senate, SO that
the powers of both can be determined. If
the House has not the power to compel
the attendance of witness, then the inyesti-
cation is useless aad subject to suspicion. He
did not know what credit to give certain news
paper articles he had seen, but if they were
true Matthews lad been testifying to news
paper reporters. He tells them as much as he
pleases and we want him here to tell much
as the committee pleases. He therefore moved
that it be entered on record that Matthews re-
fused to appear before the committee and that
the same be reported to the House for their
action in the matter.
Mr.. Potter remarked that he would entertain
Buffers motion, but thought it better to await
the presence of Hiscock and Singer before vot-
ing on it. He therefore adjourned the COM
mittee till IL o'clock tomorrow. The COM
mittee then went into ex. cutive session.

a rough named Tom Kennedy endeavored to

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 12.-This evening mob
of 500 union men and raftsmen, armed with
revolvers and stones, congregated around the
station to meet the Montreal Britons, who, it
was expected, would leave by the train. About
100 men of the Governor Generals Foot Guards
were stationed OH the platform, east Of the
station, while Mayor Bangs, Aldermen McRea,
O'Keefe, and Stewart, with Col. Ross,
were ready to read the riot act
in case of emergency. The chief of police
went to Orange hall where the Britons were
preparing to march to the station and advised
them not to proceed to the regular depot, but

toward official hours he took up the papers at his
dwelling. He found the thing he had laid down
the night before was resolution of the Senate
non-concurring in Stanton displacement. This
was equivalent to Stanton being the lawful
secretary of war. Grant walked right up to
the war Office. where he found that Stanton,
from an early hour of the morning, had strong
y installed himself and was prepared for a
fight. He had in fact taken advantage of
Grants late knowledge of the subject, and
took the Office by stratagem near daylight.
Grant had no alternative but to go away. Mrs.
Grant, finishing this story, said:
Judge Hilton, there sits that man (Grant)
who knows that story to be true and he will
not let it be told to acquit him of any duplic-
lty with President Johnson 7"
Grant sat immovable. and did not wag his
head either way. MIR. Stanton told Judge Hill
ton that such We're the facts. Anticipating
some point of honor on Grants part, Stanton
had seized his own while the secretary ad in
term slept. But" said Hilton, Grant never
was cordial with Stanton after that, and all
ways looked at him askant. He nominated
Stanton as dying man, to the supreme bench,
but never took him into his counsels or conf
dence"

Gath has been interviewing, at Saratoga
Judge Hilton, who intimate with Gen.
Grant (though political opponent), and got
from the judge the following history of IA
nous transaction: Nothing injured Grant SO
much,'' said Judge Hilton, lin the minds of
gentlemen as his alleged behavior to President
johnson in breaking his word to johnson about
the war Office, which he promised to deliver
back, but let Stanton resume instead. 1t was
that which disgusted Commodore Vanderbilt.
Mr.. Grinnell said to me, That man is not
gentleman 1t is still the subject of the prin-
cipal criticism en- Grants individual honor.
Now continued Judge Hilton, Tin that mat
ter Grant was not bit guilty in any way and
Stanton exercised coup d'eiat the office,
but Grant, though ncensed at Stanton, would
| never open his mouth to explain. In one of
| those spells of silent cbduracy or obstinacy
which seem to reach the depths of his charac-
| ter, Grant let mankind rail on and closed his
| lips Not even johnson got the benefit of an
| explanation, and abused Grant without an

THE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP.


The play of last week among the league
ball clubs has given the Bostons such decid-
ed lead in the race for the championship as to
leave scarcely a doubt they will retain the
penant another year. The Chicagos. who ad
been making rapid strides for the lead for the
proceeding weeks, struck last week a perfect
bonanza of bad luck, from which they suffered
three defeats in succession at the hands of the
Bostons. How important part luck some
times plays in game of ball can be judged by
the following points in the Boston-Chicago
game Saturday, viz. In the game the Bostons
made three single and total of five hits off
Larkiu with seven errors. The Chicagos made
nine single and total of seventeen hits off
Bond with only three errors. And yet the Chi
Cages were beaten by score of 2 to l. Luck
did it by leaving twelve Chicago men bases
to only zone for the Bostons. The Chicagos
ought to engage MIR. Luck for the season of
1879. Following is the record of the league
clubs Saturday night last:
