states that the Afghans have recaptured and sack.

Of Cabul, hitherto held and occupied by mixed
force of English troops and their Afghan allies.

of what was contemplated. The allies are said to
have behaved In a cowardly manner during the
fight, appearing deslrous Of deserving the enemy

GARCELON ON THE STAND.
He rsstlflss Relative to the Returns.


Augusta, March lex Governor Garcelon was
before the Hale Investigation Committee to-day,
and testified he had not himself seen any of the
returns up to the 18th of November; on the 25th
Of that month he knew nothing of the so-called
scheme of counting out" He neither knew or
INQUIRED the politics of the persons to whom Ger.
tihcates Of election were issued. Certificates were
brought to him to sign which he supposed were
made out in accordance with the returns; he had
not time to examine every casei did not know
that the certificates OF election had been issued to
seventy eight Democrats and Fusionists and sixty
one Republicans the matter was not discussed in
his presence; nothing was said about counting in
a quorum of Fusionists; had heard 1t on the
streets referred to incidentally. He first learned
OF the counting out through the papers, and was
pleasantly surprised at the result of the certicat-
ing; 1t had been his rule TO decide individual
cases on their merits II he signed any certificates
that were wrong, the facts we're falsely put before
him; no one was counted out; had presumed that
his Council were honest and honorable men and
had compiled the tabulatiOns according TO law;
In cases where there was any doubt he looked
into the matter himself; he had acted honestly;
certain rules had been laid down which were ap-
piled to the returns regardless OF the party; there
had not been an instance where Democrat had
been allowed to correct returns. Individual
cases were taken up, in some Of which the Gov.
ernOr acknowledged there had plainly been
erasures and inerferences with tsbulations.
Augusta. March l9-Ex. Governor Garcelon was
before the Hale Committee to-day, and in the
course of his testimony said he took the facts
from The Councils reports 1--WE have to do many
things on the testimony Of others didn't have a
breath of suspicion Of the Council. l must con.
fess to being somewhat guilty of neglect In not
looking more closely into the matter" For the
statements he had made In public aud private he
had relied on the judgment and inspection of the
Council On the 7th Of November the committee
called upon him saying they feared certain par.
tieShsd access to the returns. he was indignant
at this and put the question directly to his Coun.
Gil, who stated positively no outside party had
seen the returns.
