A CARD.
To an WHOM 3, nay cencer,:

We the undersigned, commissioners and
Clerks OF Election in and for the parish of
Claiborne u nd State Of Louisiana, in a
meeting composed of us, asse N blcd At the
Courthouse in the town of Homer, on the
10th day Of February, 1881, do hereby most
emphaucally deny specially and generally
each and every allegation concerning Clai-
borne parish, 40 wickedly and maliciously
made by Mr. b. III. LASIER in bis notice Of
contest To Gen. j. FLOYD King Of his seat
IN the Forty-seventh Congress from the
Fifth District Of Louisians. And we do
further declare to the reading public that
each aud every allegation concerning Clai.
borne parish is untrue, and he who utters
them as the truth utters a barefaced and
most unmitigatcd fslsehood. And we con-
slider that Mr.. Lanier, by accusing the good
people OF Claiborne parish Of "intimida-
tion, murder and fraud" has slandercd and
matigned our people in a shameless and
wonted manner without cause. And We
further state that no canvass was ever
conducted with less strife, no election ever
held. aud no votes ever counted and com.
piled with less cause Of complaint than the
recent election in November last in Cla,
borne parish; that everything during said |
canvass aud election was conducted quiet !
ly aud peaccably, and chat every legal yo-
ter who made application at the proper /
place exercised his right of suffrage free |
and untrammeled; and that tho published |
returns gave true, correct and exact ac- |
count of the result. We further show as |
fact, that B. H. Laner is an entire stran. |
ger to our people, both black and white: |
that he made no canvass in this parish !,
during his candidacy; he did not come |
within the limits of our parish. and no one /
made IA public speech in his favor during .
the entire campaign at any point in Clai- |
borne parish. The voters, neither Demo. /
Gratis, Greeuhackers nor Republicans of .
Claiborne parish. at the November elac. /
tion. knew nothing of Mr. Ianier save
what they had learned through the public .
journals ot our State, and that information
was sufficient 10 rrpul.e any honest voter:
for we believe that the atfidavits. 70 ex-
teusiyely published concerning his charac- !
ter, wcr" conclusive, and of sufficient
weight tu convince any uuprrjudiccd mind
that he was dcfaultcr of public funds.
and unworthy of the confidence and sup
port of any voter. Aud we dcuounce his
allegations. 80 far a. they refer
TO Claiborne parish. a. farfetchcd. nm
founded effort to traducc, and heap vtu-
pcratlon upon, our citizens. which effort j.
only indicative Of the deceptive character
of the man from whom il cminatcs. We
are able To show that no violence. iutmida.
tion ar disturbance Whatsoever. on account
of political differences, attended the recent
election in our parish. This We are ready
To testify 10. under oath. when such t,-ti.
muny will subscrvr the interest Of our
country and promote the ends of Justice.
Each one of the undersigned commission
crs aud clerks speaks generally for the en-
tire parish, and specially for his respective
voting precinct. tSgned)

We find italways pleasant to drop in the
drug store west side the public square, kept
by Brown Il McHenry. These young gem
tlemen have learned the art of pleasing
and so make friend Of even the chance
visitors or purchasers who cross the thresh.
hold Of their store. The familiarity of
Mr.. McFi-nry with the wants of the peo-
pie, and his knowledge of the good and
bad medicines abundantly advertised over
the country, enables him to keep the right
kind Of stock for the trade. His toilet ar
ticles and perfnmery are of the best; his
liquors unexcelled; his cigars and tobacco
pure aud good. Besides all this these
young men are content with a moderate
profit. Let the people visit them often.

DAVENPORT's DEATH
ting

Daily Expected-Particulars Of the Cut
ting.
We published yesterday morning the
very full particulars of a serious cutting
ARRAY during the early morning in
which Charles Davenport, a colored
man, was badly il not fatally cut by
some party unknown. 1t appears that
there was q rumpus on the vacant lot on
the corner of Sixteenth and Chapline
streets, in which there was display OF
knives, stones, razors, etc, and in the
rumpus Davenport was cut as stated
and Mason, another negro, was struck
with a stone on the head and face.
Ii is alleged that the cutting was done
by two man by the name Of White AID
ONeil, both OF whom escaped to Ohio.
Davenport lay all night and part OF yes,
erday in DR.. Psguley ofiice,,s here he W,
subsequently removed TO the hospital.
He was still living last night, but is in a
rrecarious condition, and cannot last
long. He came to this city some weeks
ago and was employed at the st Charles
Hotel as porter, but left that place few
days ago. He is an inoffensive sort OF
fellow and did not provoke the assault,
Mason and TildeD, the two colored
fellows arrested and held as witnesses,
were released yesterday afternoon.
Some newspaper reporters, early yes
terday morning, went over the ground
covered by the darkies, being guided by
the blood lost by the unfortunate Daven-
port, and at Sixteenth and Chapline
streets found rszor, Q comb and some
lead pencils, while bricks and stones
were scattered around plentifully on the
lot. The negro stouny refuses to give
the name of his assailant although be
SAYS he knows him.
Mason, the other negro, says that
0'Neill and White picked . fight out OF
the negroes and during the progress of
the scuffie the "razzsr" was brought out.
The theory Of the cutting Is that one
OF the negroes cut his companion by
mistake in making slash al one OF the
white men.
The police are on the track Of the two
white men and willno doubt srrest them
IN short time.

THAT BABY.
Its Maternity Discussed and Its Paternity
Suspected.

Its Maternity Discussed and Its Paternity
Suspected.
The waif discovered by Mrs. Jacob
Berger, North Wheeling, at her back
door, an account Of which was printed
in yesterday mornings REGISTER, was
the subject OF some investigation during
the day: for, you see, there were those
who felt an interest in proving to the
public that it was none OF theirs. Not
that the public suspected bit was, but
that some evil disposed person might
start up some such suspicion. Captain
Plankey, the Superintendent of the
County Poor House, after reading h
REGISTER and digesting his breakfast
at the same time, commenced
trying the feat of digesting the
news which the REGISTER brought him
about that baby. He readily remem-
bered that young girl who came to his
summer resort on the 18th Of July for a
bit of rest, recreation and breath Of
fresh country air, gave birth to a child
on Saturday, the 18th day OF August;
and he further remembered that she,
with her child, had left the institution
on Monday, the day Of the evening that
Mrs. Berger discovered the little
stranger. So he armed himself with a
piece Of the material out Of which some
clothing had been constructed before the
departure for both the mother and in.
FAINT, and came to the city. He was also
armed with two letters which the girl.
mother left behind her, which were post
marked wheeling" and written in q
feminine handwriting, but without sig
nature.
Repairing to the Hospital, Capt.
Planckey had no difficulty in identity
ing the waif. Its clothing betrayed it;
and the Captain said he "would swear
to it being the same baby" The moth
er, he said, is named Cora Cadle. che
is a mere child, not over Is years old,
and still wears short dresses. She claims
to have come to Wheeling from near
Parkersburg; and says that she was led
from the path OF virtue by school
teacher in the neighhorhood from which
she came, but whose name she refused
to give.
The Captain says there is no mistake
about his discovery, and that any sus-
picion that might have rested, as to the
child's paternity, hereabouts, can be
dismissed. He was unable to say where
the mother now is.
President Speidel informs the REGIS.
ter that he has had several applications
for the child by persons who wish to
adopt it, and it is likely that 1t will be
taken in by some one lady.
1t is shrswdly conjectured that the
mother OF the child is in a we'll known
East Wheeling resort.
