porrER INVESTIGATION.

NEW YORK. Aug. q. Burke continued
his testimony before the Potter eommittee,
to-day; he said that the census of 1875
for New Orleans was fraudulent aud in
the interest of the republican party, by
increasing the negro vote TO Is 900; that the
state was carried for Nichols by 5000 ma
jority. and for Tilden by about 5000
Witness gave further testimony regard
ing the methods of the returning board 10
examining witnesses, receiving af6davits'
etc. He saw Anderson, and Sherman, and
Stoughton in restaurant, aud afterwards
Anderson told him be had signed pro-
test but was under the influence of liquor.
Anderson stated on the 10th of November
to witness that he was in possession of
documentary and other evidence that
would prove q conspiracy by the republic
an party to throw out FIVE bulldozed par
ishes of East Filiciana, Washitaw, More
house, Riehland, aud East Baton Rouge.
He further said he could secure us the
parish Of East Fehciana, but that he was
poor, and if he did so would probably be
thrown into prisonon trumped-up charges.
He agreed if we paid him $4,000 then
and $1,000 after count was declared
His proposition was considered and sc-
cepted. as we didn't think there was
any wrong in procuring evidence to show
republican frauds and rascality; the prop
osition would have been carried out but
for the fact we had DO money here.
Z Steuger took the witness in hand:-He
had interviews with many other republi-
cans regarding Louisiana matters besides
Those mentioned in the Wormley confer

them were Wadleigh. Howe, Fry, West,
Cameron and several others.
| Witness, continuing. said it was also
communicated to Governor Nichols, there
was a determination to exact two
Republican senators from the Mich
lolls legislature in consideration for the
yielding up of the state; this was what
tchiefy brought him 10 Washington. II
was learned that leading republicans close
to the administration in power came to the
Icenclusion that bayonet rule could not be
maintained in Louisiana, and that they
we're willing to abandon Packard if they
could strengthen their waning power i.
the United States senate; these facts were
communicated to witness on his arrival il
4 Washington; he had an interview with
!, Secretary of War Cameron on Louisiana
matters, and as to how the Nichols gov
ernment ought to be allowed to maintain
Itself; that interview took place about thu
9th and 9th of February. 1877, it was at
private house, Cameron appearing to b.
impressed with the conviction that Mich

Not a Policy But a Necessity.


Mr.. Charles Foster of Ohio, who was the
first Republican to 6efine and applaud Mr..
Hayes Southern policy, now tells his con-
stituents that that policy was mistake,
thereby implying that it ought not to have
been adopted. But how are we to recon.
cile this with he.assertion of other emf
nent Republicans that it was a necessity ?
The late Senator Morton, Secretary Sher.
man, Mr., Garfield and others publicly
proclaimed that Mr.. Hayes had no choice
but to adopt the policy; that he could moi
govern the Southern states by troops any
longer; that the people of these states had
right to manage their affairs in their OWE
way, and there was no constitutional war
rant for maintaining an army at their capi
tails to put one government out of power
and another in. These distinguished Re.
publicans told US that Mr.. Hayes did ne
more than he was bound to do. If they
told the truth. what becomes of Mr.. Eos
ter's lamentation over the imagined mis-
take Of the Southern policy? Why doe
the gentleman reproach the administration
for doing that which it could not avoit

Republican Party Responsible.

kTlkc county DemOcFdt
The troubles that oppress the country
arise from Radical legislation, From the
incipiency of the present financial system
they claimed it as their own. When
prices were inflated, and every thing seem
ed prosperous they said: This is our do.
ing and we claim the credit" When dem
ocrats said this wont last-it is all a
mockery and delusion, and in due time
well have to pay the fiddler for the mad
dance we are enjoying they jeered and
mecked at u.s. Just as democrats told
them the calamity has come. the crazy
dance is over, and the day of settling with
the fiddler is at hand. -
For all this the Republican party is re-
sponsible and we propose to hold it re-
sponsiple therefor, rather than to fight our
democratic friends who are engaged with
us in efforts tosput down that party for
reasons with which we do not agree. Ii
matters not to US whether other people
praise or blame US. We believe as hon

liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit Of debilitated persons whether at home or

preparation does not create an appetite for the
