Be CoSrrSrEp.-Rev. G. A. Hun
tinston, in an address be ore the
Blue Ribbon League, last Sunday,
said he had Travelled through many
of the Eastern, the Middle and the
Western States, and nowhere had he
found community more thriving
and prosperous than our own. The
lard times prevailing everywhere, is
unparalleled. In San Francisco alone
there are 10000 people on the verge
of starvation. He believes that if
disconnected people only knew half
the truth, they would be content to
endure tie ills that be, rather than
fly to these they know not Of.

" The camp-meeting at Shoalwater
bay came near having tragical end
ing. On Wednesday morning, a
boat containinga company of friends
from Chehalis with several others
who were accompanying them on the
return trip, was cap,ized in the north
channel of the bay. There were IA
persons aboard, including Revs.
Thos. Magill and J. Matthews, and
the family Of the latter The wind
was strong northwest and swift
ebb-tide was running. Strange
enough, all succeeded in gaining the
bottom of the capsized boat, bu. not
until some had sunk twice. The
mail boat, Captain Stevens, happened
to be near, aud succeeded in rescu-
ing them. Mr.. Matthews was bad
ly chilled and some baggage was
lost, but the rest of the company
were none the worse for the wetting.

The reported command of the King of
Burmah to put several females of the royal
family in chains and leave them to starve to
death is q fresh example of common form of
native cruelty. When the English were pre-
pairing to lombard Rangoon, the Burmese
Governor ordered several native Christians to
be hung up by the wrists and left to perish of
thirst and hunger A similar fate awaited the
English and American missionaries, who were
only saved by timely capture of the town.
Among the victims of this horrible practice
was lion which had been presented to the
King by the British government, and which
the native priest declared must die if Rangoon
should be saved. Accordingly the poor beast
was actually starved to death in his cage.

WASHINGTON, June 12-In the Spofford-
Kellogg investigation today Richard ]. Brooks
(colored), member of the House of Represen-
tatiyes in the Packard Legislature, called by
Mr.. Shellabarger, testified to being present on
the 10th OF January at the joint convention of
the two houses when Kellogg was elected. He
knew Samuel Thomas and heard him answer
when his name was called. Murray had tried
to induce him to go to see Cavanac and make
an affidavit that he (witness) was bribed by
Mr.. Kellogg; he did not go.
Cross-examined-He subsequently told Cav
anac that Kellogg had not offered him money:
Cavanac responded that he knew all about it
and that Kellogg would undoubtedly be re-
moved. Cavanac also said they could get
white men, but preferred colored men in the
business.
To Kellogg: Ross Stewart asked witness to
oils Legislature, saying he had made arrange
ments that If eight or ten members would 90
over they could have $4,000 apiece for the ser
vice.
J. r. Watson, a colored letter carrier in New
Orleans, said he never told Murray he occu-
pied Thomas's seat in the Legislature on cleo
tion day and voted for Kellogg. He gave an
account OF an arrangement with Murray and
Cavanac to swear to an affidavit to that effect
Tor which he was to receive 5000.
An ignorant blackman named Robert John
son testified against Murrays character.
Robert F. Deshard, chief clerk of the Pack
ard Legislature, testified as to the number of
legislators voting for Kellogg. Adjourned.
There was sharp colloquy between Mr.
Hoar and the Democratic members of the COM
