The committee, after examining MFR. Morey
ut some length and elciting nothing of i'm
portance, adjourned to meet in Chairman
Potter's New York office on the Goth, where
Gov. Palmer of Illinois will be examined, An
adjournment will then take place subject to
the call OF the Chairman.
NEW YORK, July q.
Ex-Gov. Palmer testified: After the organi-
zation Of the visiting committee he called on
Gov, Kellogg. He also called on Gov. Wells
and had full and free conversation with him,
He urged the necessity for filling the vacancy
in the Returning Board. He talked to Gov.
Wells and Gen. Anderson, and impressed up
on them that civil war might follow this mat
ter Of a Presidential election. Gov. Wells ex-
pressed an unwilingness to fill the vacancy in
the Returning Board Anderson always ex-
pressed his desire to I'LL the vacancy; his be-
lief was that the negroes were disregarded in
the politics Of Louisiana
Witness found from the statements of
some colOred men that many Of the parishes
had been a good deal disturbed. Their
school money had been used up, and Demo
cratic politicians had made many promises to
them. The Democrats had made extra
ordinary efforts to capture the colored vote.
Gov. Nichols had obtained the respect of the
colored people down there more than any
other Governor he knew of, and more than
Gov. Packard.
On the 2Sth of November witness asked the
Board when the returns from any parish were
poled shat he he given the result, but they
would not do so until they were completed.
Witness asked permission from Gov. Wells to
enter the compiling room. Witness thought
some Republicans had access to that room.
He thought he saw Mr.. Hale coming out of
there. He saw Eliza Pinkston when she was
brought into the room by two men, and her
condition certainly was horrible. He had
heard Mr.. Archer say that Judge Levissee
stated that the election was fraud, and IL he
could have Sl00,0O0 he would give his vote to
Iilden.
II witness was asked If the election in
Louisiana was fair he would say not. The
sense of the people there was that Tilden and
Nicholla were elected. -- t.
He had heard of no prosecutions against
the parties charged with committing the
Pinkston outrage. Witness satisfied himself
as to the perpetration Of the Pinkston out
rage by inquiries, and he supposed that the
political parties then, by taking the same
means of inquiry that he did, could have also
satisfied themselves as to its perpetrators.
He told Gov Kellogg that if these things hap
pened in Illinois he (witness) would bring the
parties to punishment or he would leave the
State. He believed that the people would
have been satisfied with the Packard Govern
ment if they thought he had been fairly
elected. t.Ir r.f
After a few unimportant questions Gov.
Palmer's testimony was closed, and the com
mittee adjourned until the 18th Of August
unless sooner called together.

Benefits Arctic Expedition.

The steam yacht Pandora, which has
already become known to fame in con-
nection with Arctic exploration, having
been purchased by Mr.. James Gordon
Bennett of the New York Herald, has
been rechristened at Havre, France,
her new name being the Jeanette.
The event occurred recently, the COM
pany present including Henry M.
Stanley, Mr.. Bennett, number of
American ladies and gentlemen and
the representatives of several Partisan
papers. While the party was enrOute
for Havre Mr.. Bennett entered the COM
partment in which the representative
of the Paris Figaro was seated, and in
the course of the conversation explained
to that gentleman the idea of the new
expedition to the North pole in which
the Jeanette is TO be engaged. "There
are," he said, "two ways of reaching
the northern regions, one by the Attain
tic ocean and the other by the Pacific.
Up to the present time expeditions
(and they have all failed) have tried
the route by the Atlantic, and arriving
in the glacial regions encountered a
current flowing from the direction of
the Pacific. Our idea," he continued,
sis the reverse of our predecessors.
We will arrive in the Arctic by the
way of Behring Strait, and there
finding a current which we will have
with us, we will make the passage to
the Atlantic. This method will have
the advantage that the Jeanette once
in this current will not be able to re.
turn" "And if she is unuable to adj
vanceP" was the suggestive inquiry o.
the correspondent. "Well, then she
will remain. That will be just what
we want to learn" Mr.. Bennett pait
for the Jeanette some $4,000, anC
has fitted her up in very thorough
manner. She is to be commanded b,
Capt. De Long, gentleman about 81
yeats of age, and will be placed at tn,
disposal of the United States Govern
ment on condition that select crew b.
furnished by the Navy Department.

shows that the brain was hardened
the cOnvolutions shrunken and yell

York avenue and II street, and posted
on the fence a circular setting forth
| that no man is allowed to work at less
| than $3.50 a day, and hereafter any
one doing so shall be shot or stoned to
death. They also demanded that men
stop work, and one or two stones were
| thrown and the wOrkmen were obliged
to retire, but the police arriving they
resumed work. The crowd then went
out Fourteenth street, calling upon men
from private works to join them and
many did so. As the crowd marched
down Seventh street, many with picks
and shovels and clubs, it was swelled
to the number of 800 or 400.
Between Eighth and Ninth streets a

police promptly drew their pistols and
fired, intending to frighten the crowd.

SENATOR lBAYARD.
Wise Counsel to Maryland Farmers.

Wise Counsel to Mary Iaud Farmers.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 26 Senator Bayard spoke
today at the opening of ihe Maryland state fair
at Plmlico. His address was mainly devoted
to agricultural topics, but contained few para
graphs warning the farming interest against
the strange, wild cries going up from political
conventions of parties with new names, that
no more rent should be paid for land and no
more interest for the use of money; that the
precious metals should be discarded and ''abso-
lutte money" ordained by law, should replace
and measure all values and be received for all
dues. Who should, he said, but the farmer
so strenuously resist all schemes which
tends to lessen public revenue, to weaken
confidence aud to cripple and destroy public
and private credit by agreeing to plans for the
Indefinite postoonement of public engagements
according to their terms? What por-
ton of the American people need the
credit so much and so regularly as the farmer
who has to wait six months between seed time
and harvest for his means of payment? If
man would enjoy credit let him denounce all
schemes to weaken credit and iusist upon all
that will give it strength.
