THE BALLOT BOXES.

The Teller Committee Trying to Find Out
How They Were Manipulated in South
Caroitna-A subcommittee Engaged in
the Same Business at New Orleans-The
Usual Contradictions ELECTED.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 24.-Before the Teller COM
rnittee Butler Spears, Sumter county, colored
Republican, testified that he was pursued and
fired at by Democrats, and W. Fl. Singleton
testified to finding packages of tissue tickets in
the ballot box at Swimming Pen precinct.
The Democrats then put up c. II. Noise and
Marion Noise, white Democrats of Sumter, who
testified to the general good feeling towards
the colored people in the county, and nonin-
reference OF Democrats with the Republican
meeting of Oct. H. The former said he was
disgusted with the conduct of the Democrats
IN offering violence to Sam. Lee and that the
tissue tickets in the Sumter box could only
have got there by fraud.
5. J. Hanna, ,colored, supervisor, testified to be-
ing assaulted and driven from the pollsat King s
Tree, in Williamsburg county. Pendergrass
colored, deputy United States marshal, at the
same place, was assaulted by party of Demo-
Gratis. who then, without being sworn, voted
tissue ballots by the handful. Other supervls-
ors testified to being refused admission to other
polling places in the county.
II. D. Blair and j. H. johnson, Republican
supervisors at Camden, Kershaw county, tes-
tilted the polls were crowded by whites so that
colored people could not vote, and to finding a
large number Of tissue tickets in the ballot
box.
azJ. NJ. Conley and VIM. Shannon, Democratic
supervisors at the same place, and ". D. Fran
thard, county chairman. testified that after 9
o'clock in the morning the crowding was over,
and that anybody who chose to do so could
vote, and that many coiorcd people abstained
from voting at the instigation of their leaders

Thompson, other representatives of Columbia,
testified to interference with United States Off
GERS by Democrats. Also to voting tissue tick
cts wrapped up in large Democratic tickets,

erslly.

The ARMY BILL.

The Feeling as to the Pending Measures.
The Washington Sunday Herald, an authorit
in military matters, expresses this opinion as
to the reorganization Of the army: $50 far as
expressions of army opinion have as yet been
made, they are generally favorable to the At
kins-Hewitt reorganization bill. The staff
who, being here in Washington, are sooner
heard from than the line, favor this bill, as the
retirements in their bureaus compensate the re-
ductions, and in most OF them even furnish
promotion for the senior retired officers The
Burnside bill has been somewhat amended by
It's authors, and the committee will hold 4
special meeting in few days to consider some
additional amendments that have been sue-
gested. There is good authority, however, for
saying that the features which have aroused the
most opposition will not be altered, and the
feeling is general in both Senate and House
that whatever amendments the committee on
reorganization OF the army may make to their
bill cannot prevent lis failure. To show the
feeling in the Senate the Burnside-Banning
BILL the following is related: A Senator de-
sired to pair with some one on the bill should
1t come to vote. His vote would be nav.
and he could find no one who was not Of the
same opinion himself. Senator WadIeigh
confidently expects to pass the bill for the
codification and revision Of the patent laws in
the Senate on Monday OF Tuesday. Senator
Burnside will then call up his army bill, un-
less it should have been taken up in the House.

rrIIE GIIE.HOnIII1.nEU

New ORLEANS, Jan. 24.-Before the Repre-
sentatives appointed by the Teller committee
N. j. Cumming, member Of the legislature
from Natchitoches, testified. The general
tenor of the testimony of witnesses on the Re-
publican side is to the effcct of conspiracy on
the part OF the Democrats to break up negro
meetings for political effect. Such testimony
is unquallhedly false There was no organized
band such Blount described. Our action
agains; Elount and others was taken for pro-
lection, they threatened to get the negroes to-
gether to burn the town. 1t was reported that
BIaunt had ten or twelve armed negroes in his
house. After consultation we concluded
it would not be safe to allow
him to remain there. Witness was acting
chief Of police. The affair was quietly man
aged. No violence or punishment was contem-
plated. 1t was solely for the purpose of pre-
serving peace that we determined to arrest him.
No violent threats were made, as stated by
Blount and wife. Witness considered Bredis
witnesses the most bloodthirsty men he ever
saw. When they were acting with the Demo-
cratic party they proposed to kill the Republi-
can leaders. 1t was natural when they turned
over to the ether aide they would propose to
kill u.s.
The testimony of witness throughout was
contradictory Of Republican witnesses, except
as to Blount, Bredis and others being advised
to Leave the parish, but witness said that was
not political. He declined to express an opin-
ion as to whether it would be safe for Bredis
to return, they having done great injustice to
the whole people OF the parish
