Dental candidate. In recent inter

A SPECIAL telegram to the Inter-Ocean
says Senator Voorhees, declines to 90 on
with the exodus investigation because
the negro witnesses the Republicans
have brought to testify about Southern
0utrages shave such an offensive OdOr
about them that it makes him sick" Re-
publican Senators have not noticed any
offensive OdOrs, and think that it must
be their testimony that makes Voorhees,
sick. The sickness first appeared when
a carpenter named Adams, from LOuisi-
ana, began to testify. Adams recited
the circumstances of outrage after out
rage of which he knew personally in
which c0lOred people had been murdered,
wounded, whipped, and hung. some of
them, including people of both sexes,
and even children. He did not testify
from hearsay, but from actual knowledge,
and his testimony is such an arraign-
ment of the white people of Louisiana
as was never presented before. Ills test
im0ny covers period of ten years, and
makes $50 pages Of incidents that will
make the blood run cold. 1t was this
evidence that made Voorhees, sick, and
he has since lost all interest in the in
vestigatiOn.
A WASHINGTON paper tells this little
anecdOte of two well known DetrOiters:
An amusing scene is said to have occur
red few weeks since i'm the lobby of the
Senate at Washington. Senator Baldwin
was engaged in conversation with Vim.
Livingstone, jr., when Senator Blaine
was seen approaching them, and Bald
win remarked, Here's Blaine-dO you
know him? No? I'll introduce YOU"
Turning then to Blaine, he said: "Sen-
atOr, allow me to present to you one of
my fellOw-citizens, Mr.. Livingstone of
Detroit" Livingstone, with enthusiasm
to meet you, Senator, and
glad to shake hands with the man who,
by rights. ought to-day to be in the
white house, and would have been, too;
II 1t had not been for the jackass delega-
ton from Michigan" 1t then dawned
suddenly upon Livingstone that Baldwin,
at that time governor, had been rather a
prominent member of the aforesaid
delegation, and the fact caused some in
coherency in the subsequent converse
ton.
