connection with Anderson's departure from
the parish and the efforts to secure his return
to complete registration, under law; regis
tration closes nine days before election; An
derson did not return until three or four days
before the election.
Witness testified that Anderson said il was
not necessary to make any protest, as the
election was peaceful and quiet; after signing
the returns paid Anderson between 800 and
1900.
A discussion between members of the COM
mittee arose as to whether or not the question
OF intimidation should be gone into, which
was decided in the negative.
James Lee, of East Felicana testified: In
1915 voted the Democratic ticket in 1874
voted mixed ticket; prior to the election in
1876 DeGray spoke to me about acting as Con-
stable on the day of election Before the cleo
tiOn | saw DeGray and Campbell; they told
me there would be no Republican ticket in
the parish; that this was the programme
agreed on down below (meaning New Or
leans) know that DeGray was in the habit of
consulting prominent Republicans in New
Orleans He was really head of the Repub-
lican party in the parish.
John d. Lee was recalled by Mr.. Stenger.
In 1874 the Republican majority was about
800, but in our parish several Democrats were
elected to parish offices. There was a split in
the parish, but the Republican State ticket
received about 800 majority
Jessie Harrison (cOlored), of East Felciana,
teStifed: Prince Jones, who lives at jackson,

Another Mammoth Gave,

Another wonderful cave has recently
been discovered near Glasgow Junction,
Ky. 1t has already been explored for
a distance of twenty-three miles in one
direction called 81 the long route" and
sixteen miles in another direction,
called "the short route" The ave-
can easily be driven through for dis
tance of eleven miles. Three rivers,
wide and very deep, are encountered
on the long route. One of them is
navigable for fourteen miles, until the
passage becomes too narrow to admit
boat. This forms the third or "river
route which has to be explored in a
boat. The cave is wonderful beyond
description, and far surpasses in gran
deur the Mammoth or any cave before
discovered. Several mummified re-
mains have been discovered in one of
the large rooms. They were reposing
in stone collins, rudelY constructed,
and, from all appearances, may have
been in this cave for centuries. They
present every appearance of Egyptian
mummies. Great excitement prevails
over this very important discovery.
The discoverer of the entrance to the
cave, James Smith, was a few days ago
very poor man, struggling to make a
payment on farm of "a acres, upon
which by mere accident the entrance TO
this wonderful cave was discovered.
He realized about $400 from the sale of
the mummies and is now offered S10,-
900 cash for the cave. The entrance
to the cave is within the town limits,
and only about two minutes walk from
the depot. 1t has been named the
Grand Crystal cave, and it is as beauti-
full as its name implies. Ladders and
bridges are being constructed, and j.
r. Pickett, a capitalist of the town,
announces his intention of having a
small steamboat constructed expressly
for the purpose of navigating its Won
derful river.

had ex Governor Packard before It again, who
submitted testimony relative to the legisla-
lures, electoral certificates, etc. He had
talked with Mrs. jerks about the Sherman
letter, and the impression she left was that
she knew nothing of the letter. She wanted
to help him to an appointment, but he de-
clned her services; he thought she wanted
position for her husband in the event of his
getting the Collectorship; never had a CON
versation with Sherman about Anderson and

not stand up to their protests.
