An Impsrtant Function Stimulated.

The kidneys exercise most important functions,
which are so wearisome that they tax to the utmost
the strength and endurance of these busy little
organs. Every breath, every limb, every thought
makes waste, and neeessitates the development of
new atoms. The used up particles in the blood are
sifted from it and dissolved in watery fluid by the
kidneys, which then discharge this fluid into the
bladder. A train of disasters to the system would
follow if these "ashes'' SO to speak, were not

life aud property. Oar situation cannot be un-
derstood in the North or am sure the people
would not tolerate the state of affairs which
actually exists here One by one our white
and colored Republicans are murdered here
by daylight, and always by parties unknown.
We have endured more than our share of
wrong and outrage, and unless the general
government comes to our rescue we must
either suffer the fate of D. A. or leave the
state. Threat are made against us publicly
have moved from st. Francisville to Donald
son. 1 have also been obliged for securi,y's
sake to move to the same place. We have
abandoned all our property and left it at the
mercy of the brutes. If Packard is governor,
and have no doubt Of It, he will in due time
punished. If Nichols becomes governor and
any attempt on our part to arrest and convict
the murderers is made, we will, beyond doubt,
suffer death.
During the reading of the letter Mr.. Cox
examined the witness in regard to the various
statements Contained therein. Witness replied
that all the statements made were vouched for
by him at the time from information he had
received and he then believed them true, but
he had since learned that he had been misin-
formed. de now pronounced the statements
contained therein to be false. He subsequently,
stated that the statements wers made for poiti.
cal effect, that he supposed the person to whom
the letter was addressed was going to have il
published and it would create a feeling in the
North in favor of the Packard government.
Q-When you stated in your letter 1--WE
desire and demand the recognition of the legal
and lawful Packard government" did you or
not believe when you wrote it that Packard was
lawfully and legally elected?
Al was party in interest and only be-
lieved it for that reason. but did not believe
Packard was legally elected when he was fairly
defeated.
Citizen you knew that Packard was fairly
defeated?
Ayes sir.
Q-And when You made thai statement you
did it for political effect?
Ayes sir, made an exaggerated state
ment
Witness was similarly questioned in relation
to each clause of his letter and made the same
response to all the statements therein contained
pronouncng them all false and written for DO
litieal effect.
By the chairman-At that time you were
working for the Packard government aud were
Senator under the Packard government?
Axes sir.

Ere il had bloomed an hour,
Wss tossed ere long aside, poor thing,
Which sweeter grew whe1 dying,
And left, all crushed and withering,

To keep and hold forever.
