Lady GCoch,s Baby.

Had it not been that Miss Garrod was
inaccessible to the aliurements of Lady
Gooch it is probable that some '.little
stranger" in every sense of the term,
would be enjoying the hospitalities Of
Bonacre Hall, with a fair prospect
of living on the Gooch money DUR

ME Louisa seems to have persevered
in her bogus heir scheme despite discour-
agements enough to turn aside most ladies.
Her husband, several honest physicians
and others had, warned her Of the folly
and criminality Of her course, but she
went on with her preparations and
stimulation. Why did she persevere
Was it nothing but her hate Of
Lady Eleanor and her fear Of being left un-

DILL'S RECEPTION 1T LEWISBURG.

The other Friday morning the
citizens of Lewisburg without dis
cinction of party gave Senator Dill
a grand reception, on his return
from the Pittsburg Convention. A
large delegation arrived from Mif-
f1inburg, and great number of peo.
pie had gathered in from the neigh
borhoOd around, SO that when the
train arrived hundI eds of persons
had assembled at the depot to gr eet
the young, prospective Governor.
The Senator was escorted to his
residence in a carriage drawn by
Sour black horses. With him in the
carriage were Judge Bucher and
Senator's Allen and Pealc. A num-
Der of other carriages together with
a large concourse of people formed
into procession, headed by the Lew
isburg and Miflinburg Cornet
Bands, and proceeded to the resi-
dence of Senator Dill, who was in
troduced to the vast crowd in very
neat and appI opriate address by
Judge Bucher. Senator Dill replied
IN very feeling manner, thanking
lthe people of Union county for the
many acts of confidence and par
tlailty by them bestowed and especi-
ally. for the spontaneous demonstra-
tion of the day.
Otner speeches were made by VIM
VanGezer, Esu., Senator Peale and

THE INVESTIGATION.

From Washington comes the in
telligeuce under date of the 2nd,
that the Potter committee had n
session on Saturday and that evil
dence has already been elected very
damaging to Secretary Sherman,
Senator Matthews and others. James
E. Anderson, the Supervisor of
West Felinciana parish, in Louisi-
ara, was on the stand for several
hours. His evidence was direct and
pointed, and the witness himself
self-poSSeSSed and easy. a copy of
u letter purported to have been writ
ten by Secretary Sherman, was read
in evidence, subStantiating the fact
that Sherman has aided and coun.
Seled the frauds and fnrgerieS by
which the vote of Louisiana was
diverted from Tilden to Hayes.
Sherman, by the promise of office to
Mr.. Anderson and Mr. u. 4. Weber,
Supervisors of West Felinciana, Sc
duced these men TO persist in their
irregular, forged and fraudulent
protests against the votes of their
parishes, in order to afford a pre-
text to have them thrown out and
thus count the state for Hayes.
Secretary Sherman was himself
called to the witness stand when the
letter in question was handed to
him. His answers were ambiguous,
Hsodified and heSitating. He did
not believe upon his responsibility
and oath that he ever wrote such n
letter. He had no recollection of
ever writing such letter. If the
letter was written it must have been
written on Il certain day, and SO
forth, and all this in the face of the
fact that he most positively denied
only few months ago of ever hav-
ing written such a letter. The
manner in which the Secretary ans
wered questions Is anything but
flattering to his pretended limo
ccnce.
Let the matter GO on. Long since
the country was satisfied that it was
infam0usly cheated out of its right
ful choice of President, and now the
people want to know exactly ho,U and
by trbOn it was done.

KEEP CO0L.

While the investigation is pro-
crossing every one-whether Repub-
lican or Democrat - had better
make up his mind to keep cool.
There will be no war, no revolution,
no ousting of President Hayes, and
so there is not even a preteXt for
excitement> Tho hue and cry rails
ed by leading Republicans of MEX
icaniZing the Government" is the
sheerest clap-trap, to thin by much
to deceive any body. 1t lily be-
comes men high in office to manifest
so much temper in this matter. If
John Sherman and other brilliant
lights in the Republican party are
rs innocent as they say they are,
they need entertain no fear. If they
are guilty let them suffer before the
bar of public opinion as they de-
serve it. Let the Investigation be
pushed vigorously and all whose
hands are clean of guilt will stand
from under.
