sponse to a question from Butler,
Burke stated that none of the
Parckard Legislature who were
known to have been elected by
minority votes, were allowed to
become members of the Nichols
Legislature. Witness further said
that, although the reports of the
visiting statesmen to the United

Nichols government was founded
in bloodshed and riots, such state
ments were unfounded and he

their reports for them.

100 Hooker Has His Say.
BOSTON, Aug. 23.-The Herald
publishes an inter view with Gen.
eral Joe Hooker at Martha's Vine
yard in which he Is reported to
have said, relative to the dis
puted hattie of Lookout Mount
ain, "When General Grant affirms
that there was no battle on Look
out Mountain, or when he other
wise detracts from the successes of
my battles, he either must have
been deep in the cup to which he is
addicted, or else the desire for
the third term must have
crazed his brain. In no other
way can l account for
"a commanding general going back
on himself and going back on the
army which made him. Grants
opinions in regard to the war are
far from being infallible, the same
as when he administered the affairs
Of the National Government. My
battles were not so bloody as
his, hence suppose he
is not able to appreciate them. AS
to the battle of Lookout Mountain,
there are too many witnesses to
that battle to have it ignored at
this late day, and the friends of the
fallen will not be likely to accept
Grants verdict in regard to the
fight. need say no more"
