ington's special says: The reason given by
the anti-Hayes Republicans for the Withdraw
doing in Louisiana before the committee in
New Orleans, is the apprehension that the
ninety-three witnesses, whose names have
been known for MONTHS would fail to testify
when the list was made up. The reason of
this conviction is that the witnesses would
fear to imperil their lives by testifying OF
bulldozing work during the campaign Of 1876,
especially when q State has gone back into
the hands Of their adversaries and enemies,
who would wreak dire vengeanceIon them for
telling the truth

We have received a poem by "Ophelia''
which places us in a rather embarrassing
position. "OPhelia" says: kiss no one but
as live, III kiss no one but thee" This
proposition is fair enough, certainly. But We
have never seen "Ophelfa" Her lines are not
accompanied by her photograph as a guaran-
celestial nose and poor teeth. We might be
hugely sold II we were to swear off indulging
In oscuiatOry exercises with the fair sex in
general, and kiss no one but "Ophelia." Be
sides, we are married, and our wife would
probably not give her consent to such an ar
rangement. "Ophelia" had better apply to
some other shop.
