WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-T. J.

Carolina, testified before the Wal
lace Committee to-day that he was
in afiliation with the Republican
party until 1876, when he left it.
Was present at the election for
State officers, Presidential Electors
and Congressman in Chester in 1876
and was called on to interpose his
official authority to check interfer-
ence by the military and Deputy
Marshals at the polls. Several
Deputy Marshals declared their
purpose to carry the cleo
tion for the Republicans,
and exhibited a circular, purporting
to have been signed by Attorney
General Taft, addressed to United
States Marshals, to disregard the
process of the State Courts. At 2
o'clock the Chief Deputy Marshal,
at the head of a band of colored
meD, assaulted voters at Carmel,
tearing Hayes and Hampton tick
cts from their hands. Several who
refused to surrender their tickets
were knocked down. / Subsequently
saw the military, nineteen men of
the 18th Infantry, march into the
court house yards, and, forming in
two lines, the voters were required
to pass to the polls under fixed bav-
onets. On complaint being made
to the witness that voters were in
terfered with by the military he is
sued a warrant for the arrest of
Lieut.. Hinton, who commanded the
detachment. The Sheriff made a
verbal report that Hinton stated
that he had been summoned |

been breach of the peace and
asked to be saved from the disgrace
of arrest, promising he would re
move his troops to the rear of the
court house. Witness, this having
been done, instructed the sheriff to
take no further action.
Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections decided to 60 on with
the Spofiord-Kellogg case without
delay and ordered subpenas to be
issued for a number of witnesses
desired by Spofiord.

Fancy HIN Closing Exercises.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, May %, 1879.
The school at Fancy Hill closed
with examinations of classes on
Thursday and Friday, the 22nd and
23rd inste.. and essays, declamations
| &C., on Saturday, the oath. Prof. w
r. Murphy, who was Principal of the
school, is one of our live teachers.
The examination clearly demonstrated
that the pupils had been taught, and
not simply crammed for display.
Glasses in spelling, reading, arithme-
tic, Latin and geography, and in fact
all of the classes, exhibited a thor
oughness and readiness in their an
swers, which is highly creditable to
themselves and their teachers.
One very interesting feature of the
exercises was that of map-draWing in
concert. The map of North America
was drawn in concert by the class by
signal from call bell by the teacher.
Such was the regularity of their
movements that the exercise seemed
much like drill in calisthenics.
Prof. Murphy certainly has proven
his ability as a thorough instructor
and most efficient disciplinarian.
The movements of all the classes were
directed by signal and were per-
formed with as much regularity and
precision as military drill.
The classic exercises on Saturday
consisted of recitations by the younger
pupils, essays by the young ladies, and
declamations by the young men.
The music, both vocal and instru-
mental was excellent, and added much
to the interest of the exercises.
The teachers and pupils desire to be
commended for the good taste dis.
played in the character of the selec- |
Ilons as well as the manner of render |
ing them. On the whole, the close of |
this school was such as to reflect great |
credit on the teachers, pupils and |
patrons. Such schools present an un-
answerable argument in favor of our |
system OF Public Schools.
In the afternoon short speeches were
made by Rev. Mr.. Foster and w. II. |
Perkins. DIR. Taylor followed in an
able and eloquent address. 1t was one
Of bis best efforts, and was a fitting !
close to one of the most successful |
schools in Knox county.

Mr.. L. c. Ludden of Hydeville Vt, who
came here a few weeks ago to work at Stat
ing for Mr.. Henry Bond, met with a severe
accident on Wednesday of last week While
he aud Mr.. Culver were on the upper staging
near the ridge of the meeting house in the
West Parish, a large portion of the staging
gave way, carrying Mr. Ludden down the
roof some twenty feet, and causing him to
fall about forty feet from the caves to the
ground, which he struck in some two feet of
snow. Many slate and staging planks came
down all around him. and his escape from in
slant death was wonderful He received
many bruises, but no broken bones. That
portion of the staging which remained on the
roof saved Mr.. Culver. Mr.. Ludden was able
to be removed to Mr.. Bonds on Friday, and
home to Hydevlle on Saturday.
