The Potter investigating committee reasseIa'
bled to day; present, Messrs. Potter, Springer
Butler and Hisoock.
Kellogg was again on the stand and ques'
toned by Gen. Butler. Kellogg testified that

Witness considered Packard elected as fairly

Grant intended recognizing Packark in conse'
quenoe of the appointment OF the commission
TO investigate the election in Louisiana. Wit
ness had only heard of the Sherman letter
within the last year. Mrs. jerks had procured
possession OF the letter through Mrs. Weber.
Witness related how Mrs. jerks had called on
BIN and spoke Ct the letter; that she had
repeated o portion Of its contents. aud be
understood that it was the original document.
Kellogg was next examined by Hiscock in refer

his testimony in reference to the East Feliciana
parish election; stated that he had ordered
Anderson to go back to his parish, aud had
given him money for that purpose. which
Anderson had spent and remained in New
Orleans; denied ever having thanked And orson;
never had any conversation with Anderson 10
reference to the protest Of the latter. Witness
testified also in reference to Weber statements,
most of which he contradicteo; the only fear of
the result of the election in the Felioiana
parish was by intimidation. Witness pro-
ceeded to answer questions relating to Weber's
testimony, corroborating scarcely anything
therein.
The testimony amounted to very little, and
as soon as Gen. Butler finished bis questioning

and shut his eyes, when the other lad placed one

the poor boy backwards TO the ground. He was
Immediately raised and taken into Gales

shattered in most terrible manner. His teeth
were all knocked out and his lower jaw broken.

The little sufferer was placed undGr the ln-

The conservative primaries, 10 thls CITY, las'
night, resulted, as was generally anticipated,
in the election Of delegates to the congressional
convention favorable to the nomination OF MI
8. G. Nesle; for, though the lst Ward was an
uouused as having given the Hunton delegates
one majority. the appeal ofthe Nea'e men Tor q
reversal of the decision by which tba; announce
meut was made, is 80 just that the CITY conser'
yatise committee, to whom the matter has
been referred, will. doubtless, grant it, or order
8 new election.
Mr.. Neales supporters swept all the other
wards, and would have carried the first by q
large majority if the success Of bis ticket there
had not been so assured that many OF DIS
warmess friends thought it unnecessary to at.
tend the meeting.

to Weber's examination, neither Gen Cox nor
myself could remain over the Sd. and as be
desired Weber to be in New Orleans for further
examination by him on the 10Th, it was ar
ranged that Messrs. Huuton and Springer
should con!iuue Weber's examination go far as
they desired to do that day, and Mr.. SheIla.
barger should attend for General Cox.
The stenographer's minutes of the session do
not disclose any objection by Mr.. Shellabarger
which was not assented to, nor any request of
his refused, and | understand from those gen
tlcmen that they we're not aware that any differ
enoe between them and MIR. Shellabarger as
to the conduct of the examination existed what
ever, nor that anything occurred to which be
took exception.
As to the publication by you Of your letters

Goth of May, tie lst and 10Th of June and the
Sth instant were published in full when sent.
That to which Mr.. Morrison proposed o reply
was not, indeed, itself published, but the sub.
stance Of it was given to the press at the time.
As to the testimony of the intimidation in
the parishes of East and West Felioiana pro-
posed, in neither of those parishes did tho
election officers make eDy protests to the re-
turps, and, as received by the Returning
Board, the returns CT the election Of 1876 in
those parishes stood absolutely without obsc

the Returning Board might rejsct the vote of
those parishes. 1t is claimed they did this
without cause, solely for political purposes
and because of political promises, and it is 10
evidence that they have themselves confessed
this, It is also claimed that the fact that
there was not republican vote cast in certalo
sections which had Heretofore been largely re-

months
After an illness OF only fourteen
hours his young life went out, leaving
in his family a dreary void. He was
the hope and pride of his parents, the
Joy of their younger children. Early
had he learned He's duties, and faith.
fully did he discharge them.
Fond parents, think not OF Milton

everlasting. Let the memory of his

disposition, be unto you "a we'll
spring o fjoy," eve refreshing to the

pare to meet your child, where sick

where you shall see him, resplendent
in his Savior's glory. For God loved,
and has taken him to Himself. II.
