A GENTLEMAN who resided for many
years in South America has recently
written a paper attempting to prove that
the custom in vogue in this and in other
civilized countries OF shoeing horses is a
senseless and injurious one. He points
out that unshod horses travel under
heavy loads on the toughest roads i'm.
aginable in Brazil. and that all the care
required is to have the edges OF the
hoofs slightly rounded of with q rasp.
to prevent them from raveliius mp. The
gain by this method OF treatment is
claimed to 10 an increased sureness Of
footing. the absence Of diseases that are
now oecasioned by the practice OF shoe.
ing. and a dimunition in the expense Of
keeping a horse.

Committee at Atlantic City yesterday.

dence was telegraphsd to this coast last
evening. He told nothing but what tho

He denied that his visit to New Orleans
was made with tho object Of influencing
the action Of the Returning Board. and
gave a detailed account OF the proceed
ings Of the visiting statesmen. With
regard to the Jenks-Anderson- Weber
letter, the Secretary declared positively
that he did not write 1t. At the same

avowed that there were things In the
