sisted of singing by the choir, prayer by Mr..

Rev. John Allen. Familiarity known as Camp

How the Democrats carried their
ticket i'm Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, Jan. II. At the session of
the Teller committee to-day, Abram Thomas,
tcolored, Of Bass plantation, Tensas Parish,
testified that during The late election he met
body of armed Whites who chased him
that night the same men came and took
Charles Bethel, a colored man, out of lis
house, shot him, and cut his throat The
witness did not know the ruffians; he was
frightened away, and is now working on the
river.
J. Ross Stewart, prominent colored poll
tician of Tcnsas, and member of the Legis-
lature, testified that threats Of violence pre-
vented the republicans from nominating a
ticket; at the democratic convention Col.
Reeves made a speech, saying he would make
no threats, but the white men were determined
to carry their ticket, and all opposition would
be quietly removed; the ticket was to be car
ricd if they had to go through fire. he made
motion as If firing gun; the next day n
committee of three came to the witness house
and told Bryant Nicely and himself that any
opposition on their part would be looked up
on as a declaration of war. In regard to the
establishment of color line by negroes, the
witness explained that he got friends to re-
port him for the officc of Sheriff they signed
a paper to that effect, but instead of putting
his name on the paper, they simply wrote, a
colored man." this was the only fact upon
which was based the report that he persuaded
negroes to promise TO vote for none but col
ored men; it was on that report that the
whites announced that Stewart and Fairfax
had drawn the color line; on the contrary,
said the witness, eve nominated ticket
composed of white and coiorcd people; after
ward it got so hot that we had to take the
negro names off of the ticket, and nominated
full white ticket; this was the Douglass
and Bland ticket A. Is. Burchart told me,
prior to the attack on Fairfax, that Peck and
Register had agreed together to regulate
the parish; the intention Of Peck was to take
all the negroes to Catahoula and keep us I'M
Ill after the elections nothing was to be done
to us; we were to be fed high, and returned
safe after the election was over; i asked the
protection of Judge Cordell he told me he
was unsafe in the parish himself; believed
him: two days afterward, and two days prior
to the election. | overheard Judge Cordcll
say that the white men had only to go around
with shot-guns on their shoulders, and all
ordinary negroes would be sufficiently fright

He will probably be able to take his seat in
the U. S. Senate, in March, to which he has
recently been elected. Judging from the tone
of recent kilograms from Raleigh, Gov
Vance of N. c., may be his associate. At a
caucus of the democratic members of the
General Assembly held there on the
18th. of January, Hon. A. s. Merrimon
withdrew from the contest for United States
Senatorship, leaving Gov Vance in possess
sion of the field who has probably before
this been nominated. l forbear making any
comments. The record of these men and of
North and South Carolina during the war and
| since, is well known.
Since the reasscmbling of the Virginia
General Assembly, the all-absorbing subject
has been the State debt and how to dispose of
it. 1t will be well for the State when this
vexcd question which has been agitating the
political waters for the last few years shall be
set at rest Its Indebtedness is over S29,-
