New ORLEANS, July 10. 1878.
BY the witnesses examined to-day by the committee
OF their purpose. These witnesses, whose marks
affixed to protests aud other papers, afiir IN.
ing that Intimidation and bulldozing existed
In the parishes, swear that thoy never
intimidated aud that they signed
what they knew nothing about. The tact remains
that the Returning Board threw out parishes without
warrant Of law anything else, aud by this fraud
ulent action Hayes was declared elected, case Is
made which bear contradiction. Though
there less fear among tho negroes IL has
been pretty concusveiy proved that this mainly
owing the reports spread oy republicans themselves
THE REPUBLICAN THEORY.
In conversation To-day with a republican gentle
man, who has never mixed In politics here, he
said That he felt convinced that certain kind Of
intim dation had been pracsed that at the time OF
the elections the negroes were under certain fear,
but siuce then, hnding they have mol been killed
began 10 believe they never were afraid hence tner
contradictory statements. THIS Is more plausible
than to believe they all deliberate liars,
and any one Knowing tho negro character
can we'll understand that they have not clear IDEA
OF the responsibility oil oath, and will swear at one
tiously contradict. In this testimony however, the
republicans cla thu: were the negroes sum-
mohcd before the committee TO tell the truth they
would not dare to return home. Indeed to open the
mittee content themselves WITH examining only into
tho Felicianas.

From all parts of the country re-
ports come of the immense sales and
increasing demand for that deserv-
ingly popular Sewing Machine, The
Old and Reliable STANDARD" the
price of which the proprietors wisely
reduced to $50, including all the at
tachments, and at once secured for
them popularity among the peo-
pie, far beyond that ever yet attain
ed by any other machine at any
price, the consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced
machines, and seeking territory for
the STANDARD" Knowing from
experience that with the best goods
at the lowest price they can outselI
all other Machines, where the supe-
ior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine
combines all the improvements. Is
far ahead Of all others In beauty and
durability of its work, ease Of man
agement, light running and certainty
Of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles, with positive work
ing parts all steel, and can be safely
put down as the very perfection of a
Serviceable Sewing Machine, in
every particular, that will 0utlast
any Machine, and at a price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept in
order free of charge. And sent to any
part Of the Country for examination
by the customer before payment of
the bill. We can predict equally as
large a demand for them in this
section as in Others. Families de5ir-
ing the best Machine manufactured
should write direct to the Factory.
And enterpriSing persons wishing to
seize the chance should apply for so
desirable an agency. See advertise
ment in another part of this paper.

There is probably no election of
Governor by the people of Maine. In
such case the law provides that the
House of Representatives shall send
to the Senate the names OF two from
the four candidates receiving the
highest number of votes, and the
Senate will choose one of these two
for Governor. The candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
are Common, Republican, and Smith,
Greenbacker. If these two names
go before the Senate, Connor will be
Governor, as the Senate is composed
of twenty Republicans and eleven
Greenbackers. If the House should
choose, however, to ignore the claims
of the highest candidate, and send
in the second and third on the list,
the result will be different.

Newspaper publishers probably
suffer more from the plea of "hard
times" III the payment of their bills,
than any other business people. Sub
scribers should remember that the
printer regularly mails the paper and
like punctuality should be observed
on the part of those who have sub
cribed. If the mail fails to bring
your paper at the regular time, you
are apt to complain and blame the
printer, yet you fail to pay your sub
scription year after year. Is not this
plain fact? The amount can be re-
mitted by mail.

The Suffering South.

Words fail to express the horror of
the dreadful fever scourage that is
sweeping over the sunny South, but
now shrouded in woful darkness.
Every day some new locality is at
tackled, and new appeals for aid are
made to the nation, which is most
humanely responded to. Nobly and
generously the people of the North
and West are pouring their great
abundance of wealth into the fever
stricken cities of the South. Such
liberality has never been witnessed
in this, or any other country of the
habitable globe. While the South is
doing all that its impoverished peo-
pie can do, other sections have for.
gotten our former political differences
and now only appear to remember
that their fellow beings are suffering
and dying with disease of the most
relentless character. Such acts form
a glorious page in the history of the
present country, and when healing
shall come upon the wings of time,
the grateful hearts of those who have
been rescued by these noble philan-
tbrOpists of the North and West will
never cease to bless their generous
benefactors.-Annop0Ljs Gazette.

Grand Jury Report.

To the Honorable the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Gar EFT county.
The Grand Jury respectfully beg
leave to report to your Ii onors that
it has discharged its duties by exam.
lining all the witnesses who appeared
before it, and have used all diligence
consistent with the public good.
The Grand Jury in the perform
ance of their duty also visited the
Jail, and find the Jail, with its ac-
commodations, in creditable condi-
ton, but would suggest that the Jail
and yard be enclosed in such man
ner as to prevent persons from the
outside giving aid to prisoners to es-
cape, one instance having already
occurred which came near being sue
cessful ; would also concur in the re-
port of the last Grand Jury in regard
to the locks.
The Grand Jury in the further dis
charge of their duty visited the
vault and offices of the court house
and find them in the same condition
as reported by the last Grand Jury ;
and having examined the drain
found it defective in allowing the
water to settle instead of running off.
Before closing this report the Grand
Jury believes it is due to your Hon
ors to acknowledge the kindness you
have shown them in the discharge of
their duties. We also acknowledge
and appreciate the aid given by our
efficient States Attorney, which ma
terially lightened our duties.
Having transacted all the business
before US, we beg to be discharged.
Very respectfully,
VIM, IL. HALL,
Foreman.

What Lime Will Do.

A few years ago Mr.. Aaron
Beachy purchased a farm in Grants
vile district, which was considered
among the poorest in the district,
but by persistent industry and the
judicious use of lime, it now stands
among the best. This year Mr..

the acre. He was one of the pioneers
in the use of lime, and is now reap
ing his reward in large crops OF

will return after many days"

Maine went Republican as usual
the only uncertainty being the return
Of Eugene Hale to the House. A no.
ticeable feature of the returns is the
fact that as the Greenbsck Initiation
vote was increased in that State, the
Democratic poll was lessened in the
same proportion. One Of the proba-
bilities Of politics seems to be, that
this same heresy, which has been de-
vised, managed and fostered by the
Democracy, will plague the inventor
considerably before it is eXtinguish-
ed, and there is possibility that the
figure of the engineer ''hoisted by
his own petard," may be illustrated
before the campaign is ended.
