The trial Of George Brown, indicted for false
swearing in connection with the procuring Of a
pension in the name of Sally Vaughn, drags its
slow length along in the Criminal court before
Justice James. Yesterday the Government put in
evidence to show that the pension was obtained
and that the widow Of the soldier never received
the certificate or the pension nancy, but that a
colored woman named Margaret Wilson testified to
personating Sallle Vaughn, and that George Bor-
row and Samuel Craig obtained the check and
money, she being allowed n few dollars for the SER
vice that she rendered. Without concluding the
testimony the trial was adjourned until Monday

Exodus Examination.

Washington, April 8.--The Exodus Com.
mittee to-day examined Andrew Cune,
Mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana. He tcsti-
fed that with few exceptions the relations
between the whites and negroes in the
vacinity OF Shreveport were ola most friendly
character. The colored people are renewing
the usual spring contracts, and settling down
to work. The exodus, so far, from that
section, does not exceed per mt. of the
colored population. He said the whites and
blacks in Caddo parish were enjoying alike
privileges of voting. He knew Of no denial
of political rights to the blacks, except IN
instances where negroes were turned away
from the polls on account of mistakes of their
own in not registering properly. In regard
to the negroes receiving justice before the
courls Mayor Currie said he was Police
Magistrate but had jurisdiction only over
minor oiienses He had never discriminated
in favor Of white or against black culprit.
As to the other and higher courts, they are
presided over by Republican Judges, who, if
any discrimination is shown, are to blame for
it. Referring to the school facilities, he said
the means for sustaining schools throughout
the State we're very limited. He asserted
that duriog the past Republican
administration, up to 1876, q large
portion of the school fund of Louis
lana WIS stolen by the school disbursiDg
officers, and that nearly all of the School
Commissioners in the State we're accused Of
dcalcation. He thought very soon, under
the operation of the new Constitution. the
school fund will be increased and both whites
and blacks be afforded better educational
privileges than heretofore.
