headquarters about moo n the 9th
instant. The command under Gen.

The Seaside Committee.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Jnly 26Lh.
The Potter Committee met this
morning. Gen. Sypher, recalled,
said lie had seen Senator Sherman's
signature in autograph albums.
Witness then told of opposition to
Packard in the convention which
nominated him for Governor, and
the lukewarmness of many promi-
nent Republicans during the can
vass, they holding that undue in
| f1uences had been eXerted to secure
his nomination. In conversation
with Republicans witness learned
that at Feliciana, Monroe and
Shreveport, stones We're thrown at
them In addition to other indig-
mites.
Witness said, to the best of his
recollection, he thought whah
Weber showed him the Shei man
letter it was in the handwriting of
John Sherman and was therefore
genuine. There was no reason why
the National ticket should run be-
hind the State ticket. Many Re-
publicans were opposed to the bay
onet policy which had lost the Re.
publicans several Northern States
and injured the Republicans of
Louisiana.
Potter asked whether the allega-
tions Of fraud and intimidation
were not made after the election,
and witness replied affirmatively,
that charges of intimidation were
made by Republicans in parishes
where their vote had fallen off.
Hitchcock asked whether the
Democrats might not have concil-
lated the colored people to vote
their ticket.
A. Yes, in various ways. They
did as you do in New York; buy
voters. They were very affection
ate to them. Laughter.1 The
Democrats organized a unification
movement for the purpose of Civ
ing the negroes equaIities with
whites in the street cars and in
public schools, outstripping us and
beating us Il little at our own
measures.
X-Congressman Mory was
called and said there was no bull
doz ng in Madison in 1876, and the
result in that parish was an in
crease of 102 votes over the usual
Republican majority in 1874.
Witness, one of the Republican
counsel before the Returning
Board, SAID the fact of intimida-
ton, violence and murder in the
bull-dozed parishes was not dis
puted. The machinery of the
Courts is in the hands of Demo-
Gratis, and he never heard of any
attempt made to bring the Offend
ers to justice. Eliza Pinkston
lived in Ouacbita Parish, where
the Democrats are in power. Wit
ness, from personal inspection, was
satisfied tha the woman had been
seriously manned. She was car
ried into the room of the Return
ing Board on sofa. The impress
zion prevailed that this exhibition
would have good effect, and his
own impression was that it did.
