LEWIS CLARKs LEcruKE.-rhe original
George Harris Of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stoves celebrated novel, "Uncle Toms
Cabin" lectured ia the Opera House here
Friday night to a small audience. The
story he gives Of his life il most roman
tic and interesting one, and we have sell
dom seen a crowd 80 we'll entertained.
There is nothing obirusive about him. lie
talks in straightforward, earnest way,
with none Of that self-importanoe which
usually attaches to such persons, who have
had notoriety thrust upon them. lie be-
gan by contrasting his present visit to
Stanford and the one that he was forced TO
make hfiy lone years ago. Then he came
with lot Of the slaves, to be put upon the
block ond sold. Now he was a free man,
his race was free, and he had the honor OF
addressing AN audience Of white persons,
who received him kindly, aud who had
come 10 realize that the institution Of
slavery was a curse upon any people. lie
grew quite eloquent on this point, and
showed considerable emotion. Ills advice
to his colorsd friends TO seek education, to
become worthy and isw.abiding citizens
and endesvor 70 attain the end for which
they were created, was we'll expressed,
and his appeal to the white people to as.
sist them in their efforts, reached an elo.
quence that is seldom surpassed.

White was correspondent for the
New York Tribune and writing in
the interest of the Republicans,
in recent letter to the Providence
Star tells how the Republicans
got a large number of their affida-
Wits of intimidation from negroes.
Mr.. White says:
''I had curiosity to see how the
notaries public succeeded in get
ting the affidavits which they were
preparing. The process was some
thing like this: A cOlored man was
called up TO the desk, where the
chairman of the Republican COM
mittee of the parish in which the
witness resided, or Republican
candidate for the Legislature from
the same locality, sat with the no.
tary. The former after giving the
name of the man to be examined,
would begin:
"You live on Judge James place,
don't you ?"
"Yis, sah."
"Then the notary would write
down: Julius Caesar (colored),
being duly sworn deposes and
says: That he is a resident of East
Baton Rouge parish, and lives on
Judge James place."

"Notary writing-'That he is a
citizen and a voter, and that he reg
istered and voted on the seventh
day Of November, 1876, at the polls
held i'm the cross-road store in the
Post Oak swamp"
Sin this manner the entire story
would be told, the prOmpter repeat
ing it sentence by sentence and the
witness simply asserting to it.
When the testimony had all been
written out it was read rapidly to
the witness, who swOre to it and
affixed his mark.
"What were such affidavitS as
these worth? Well, it would have
been much more satisfactory to me
if it had been of q different charac-
ter. L don't mean to say that i
think those colored people would
deliberately and unblushing lie
about events which they have wit
messed. l think that the Republi-
can managers felt the election of
Hayes depended upon his getting
the electoral vote of Louisiana, and
they knew that he could not carry
it unless the integrity of the election
in some of the parishes was i'm
peached and Overthrown. The
colored people knew that they had
been brought to New Orleans to
furnish evidence that would save
the State to the Republicans, and
they were determined to do it,"
