WAsHrNoToS, Dec. 1.-THE special com
rnittee appointed to investigate the sllege,
misconduct of Marshal Lot Wright in th
Ohio election met this morning. Frank P
Morgan, New York reporter of Washing
ington, testified to being in Cincinnati OF
election day. He said several men from
Washington were there acting as deput,
marshals and wearing metal badges. Wit
ness paid them social call in the evening
and they produced bull dog pistols, which
were part of their equipments. They go,
their instructions from Lot Wright first and
were afterwards drilled by Pension Detective
Rathbone. Rathbone, it is generally under
stood, had charge of the imported talent,
the gentlemen who had been summoned
by the Republican national committee to
Cincinnati, as they. said, to see a fair
count Witness visited the voting pre-
cincts in the fourth ward and saw good
deal of fighting. The deputy marshals ap-
peared overbearing, insulting and insolent.
They were hard looking characters and
seemed to be selected from the worst classes.
Colored men went around swearing and
swinging pistols as policeman would
swing his billy. The efforts of the deputy
marshals tended rather to break the peace
than to keep it. A week before the election
there had been convention of colored odd
fellows in Cincinnati, and witness saw
prominent Georgia colored man named
Pledger, who told him that while he was in
the city ostehsibly to attend the convention
his real object was to carry the election.
Witness said he believed that ninety-nine
out Of one hundred of these deputy marshals
were roughs. They looked dissipated and
capable the intimidation of decent people.

mandatory yesterday. 1t is over four feet
long; about six inches thick AID weighs As

The Minnie Hauk Concert Troupe.

This troupe had one of the finest audi :
ences that has assembled in Staunton,
leaving ont the Ltngtry gathering. In
concert, Nine. Hauk cannot do Justice
to the high reputation she has won as a
lyric artist nor indeed did her share of
the programme, which we uf the simplest
music. give her fair chance to show her
execution, Her voice is as powerful as
ever, but was slightly yelled. probably by
a slight cold. The echo Song of
Thomas. was the only piece in which she
gave hel audience an opportunity of see-
ing what she could do if she tried, and the
opportunity was received with pleasure
and rewarded by appl iuse. The success of
the evening was De Pasqualis the bali
tone. He has magnificent voice, in per-
feet control, and adds to it fine dramatic
action. Nothing could have been finer
than his singing of the grand air from
"Dnorah'', Or the famous Song of Figaro
from the ''Ba Der of Seville'', which he
gave as an encore. The pianist. Conrad
St-rnberg, was frst-class artistic Miss
Sail. the contralto, was very good, and
Montegriffo, tbs tenor. was unusually in
ferior, suffering as he was from sore
throat. The garden scene from Faust"
was much applauded.'
