The Investigating Committee
ana Secretary Slaernlsn.
THE COMMITTEE TO MIR. SHERMAN.

IHE CoMMlTTE TO MIR. SHERMAN.
WASHINGTON, June pa draft of a
letter has been prepared by Mr.. Morrison
at the request of Chairman Potter, in re-
ply to Secretary Sherman's request to
have submnaed from Louisiana one hun
dred witnesses who are expected to give
material testimony touching the freedom
OF election and murder and intimidat ion
OF ofvoters in all of East Felicana and
parts OF West Feliciana parished in that
state. Mr.. Morrison says, in the course
oil his reply: "The records of Congress to
which you refer, and other records of Con
gress with which you are doubtless famil-
lar, authorize the statement that the for
mer testimony of said witnesses has been
co1tiadicted by wines es as numt ross as
Intelligent, and whose testimony is at
least as well entitled to belief. 1t is
needless to add that should these one
hundred witnesses again repeat their for
mer testimony five hundred other wit
nesses, at least as creditabe as they, Will
be ready again to contradict them.'
However IN ,teIial the evidence of the
witnesses you ask to have summon d
may be to the fact of the number of
persons k'l'e threatened, driven from
ohNS vi oithcIWiSc lntliuluaueu as yOll
assure the committee it is. 1t can In no
way affect you personally, if the COM
mitiee has correctly understood you TO
deny the allegation that you wrote the
letter and gave thts, promises ana as
surances, for such allegation will be
neither established nor dlsproved by
evidence of the number of mex killed.
The reply concludes a, follows: "What-
ever OF accusation is IL abe against you in
the resolutions of the House of Repres-
entatives, under which this committee is
acting, rests, so far as any testimony
yet heard shows, upon the statement and
allegation that 80 influence and control

writing such letter and making such
promises.
The committee is therefore constrained
FOR the present respectfully to decline
compliance with your request to have
suDpenaed as witnesses the several per-
sons named by you all of whom have

others three times on the same subject,

John Sher mans Witness.

HOW sHERMAN's REPUTATION FOR
sHREwDNEss AND CUNNING HAS BEEN
DISsIPATED.
From the New Orleans Democrat.
The repute of John Sherman is not
that of honesty, and never has been; but
he has been believed to be shrewd and
cunning. This last belief is now dissipa-
ted. No man of real shrewdness would
have hung his fate on the testimony of
such woman, whose manner betrayed
the motives her tongue tried to conceal,
as if she had been made of plate glass.
True, the material of her face during the
examination varied according to cireum-
stances, from that of drawn brass to
malleable iron; and she was wont to in
terlard her lines with hard, forced
laugh that sounded like striking crack
ed Kettle with a shoeing-hammer. But
any child of ten years could have detec-
ted her utter want of sincerity and the
completeness of the pretence of the part
she was acting.

Threatened Indian Butchery

A &C urier from Can u City, Oreg 2
brings news to Baker City that fifteen
citizen scouts, under Col. Burnham, have
been surrounded by about hundred
Indians near the South Fork of the John
Day river, and the probabilities are they
will be butchered before aid can reach
them. Some of the scouts had impru-
IDENTIFY fired upon the Indians, contrary
10 Burhham's orders, thus attracted their
attention. The courier also says that
hostiles are pouring into the John Day
Valley, with military, supposed to be
Howard in pursuit.

PARIS, June 30.-The national festi-
val i'll honor Of the Exhibition took place

tions in peace.
During the day there was a monster
musical fete in the garden of the Tluler-
les, and orchestral and choral concerts
were given in various quarters of the
city.
As night approached illuminations,
private and official, began to appear in all
directions, and by 9o'clock the boulevards
bridges, squares, and buildings were in a
blaze of many colored light. Some of
the gaslight decorations were of grand
dimensions and ingenious construction,
The streets were thropged with sightseers
and in many place. were for time i'm
passable. a long procession with fam
beaux and electric lights, passed through
the Bole de Boulogne and Champs Elysees
to the garden of the Tuileries, discharg-
ing fireworks along the lines, and cheer
ing as they marched through masses of
spectators wild with enthusiasm. There
were special displays of fireworks at the
Place du Trone, the Pace d'Italie, and
the Buttes Montmartre, which were wit
messed by immense crowds. The weather
was favorable througout the day. No
accident occurred to mar the success of
what proved to be great popular festi-
val.

Combining Against Servants.

The purpose of the movement of the

imposed on by swiDdlers as to effect re-.
form in the matter of hiring help. 1t is
said that, although the hotels have had
to reduce their prices, waters, cooks and
other hotel employees still get their old
wages, which are out of proportion to
those for similar grades Of labor in other

| IT IA u hopeful align Of tho better md p,llti'
| times in store for Louisiana that no one but
| n Warmoth. n Kneling or n Wilde can no

| Lottery swindle. Tho Democratic members,
| with almost entre ,nanmity. have nobly re-
spondod TO the uncomptomieH'g detV,nd Of
| the people for tho abolition Of tho monopolies
TINT curse this State and city, md their action
will be duly appreciated and applauded; but
what has been done Is not enough to satisry
: the people, They want something moro tangi-
bic and practical Tran mere professions Or vir-
tuoue Intentions. A little performance would
NO much further Coward appeasing their mp
p,tite for genuine reforms than tho most elo-
uucnt tienunciatlon Of wrongs and abuses in
the abstract, Let not bosaid that tho over
whcmins Democratic vote cast In tho House
against monopolies was only secured by u
knowledge Of the fact that The proposition
could not be carried In The shape of IN amend
ment to the constitution, for which the affirm
alive vote Of two-thirds Of all the members
elected Is necessary. tHtlmations TO that
effect have been freely made. and Ii tho gcn-
tlemen who voted for Mr.. Leonard's amend
fnent were sincere In theitoprofessed hostility
to monopoliee. they owe 1t to themselves to
prove their sincerity by taking some practical
efforts to abolish tho most iniquitous of them
nll. tho Lottery Company. which hns invaded
what should be considered The sacred pre-
cincts Of their temple and which keeps hired
agent on tho iloor to guard It's interests.
Can this Democratic House afford to nd-
..f a
ship toots constituents without taking u
single atop toward giving Legislative effect to
tho declaration II has made that monopolies
arc u grievous wrong and should be abol
| ished? Tho vote of Friday and the day
lbcfore proved that the Democratic majority
can without difficulty pnss II bill repeating
the charter of the Lottery Company. Such a
| bill would not be obnoxious to the objection Of
| impairingetho obligation OF contracts. That
company has no vested rights. as we stand
| ready to show so soon as we see an earnest
disposition on the part OF the Legislatunr to
take action In tho matter, and tho House
| should lose no time in passing bill abolish
| ing tho vile thing.
The people would Hike TO hear from the Sen
ate also an expression Of opinion on this sub
ject That body. like the House, has a DEM
ocratic majority. No one will pretend that
the Democratic party does not desire the re-
peal of the Lottery Company's charter. II
does desire it. almost unanimously, and we
cannot forego the expression Of our surprise
ut the fact thai our Democratic reform Senate
has thus far failed to give the slightest utter
ance on this subject to the feelings and wishes
Of their constituents We hope that some SEN
ator will soon introduce bill which will &C.
compish the utter destruction of the Lottery
Company TIE people will find 1t difficult to
