The Committee has we'll nigh completed
its work in this famous case ard Judge
Fleming is now more than 200 votes ahead.
The evidence taken in Mercer end Nc
Doweu COUNTIES, where already about $50
votes for Goff have been thrown Out by the
Committee, substantiates conclusiyeiy the
claim made by Judge Fleming that large
number Of illegal negro votes were cast for
/ Golf in these two counties. Maxwell and
Morris, the Republican members OF the
Committee. have been completely non
plussed by the force Of the evidence, and
now seek refuge il the fimsy argument
that the-e is 10 positive p'Oof that
these negroes voted for Goh. The COM
mittee agr, d, however, IS We understand,
and with the consent Of General COTS at
torneys. that when a voter was proven to
be a Democrat OF Republican, it should be
presumed that he voted for the candidate
of his party, and it was shown by the
members of the Il publican Executive
Committee Of Mercer county that there
was but ore Democratic negro 10 the com
~, and that they listed al the other ne
goes in the county % Republicans. l.
seems very strange thst the Republican
memters of the committee 5hOuld call ioI
proof that tie negJoe5 voted tie
Republican ticket. AS TO the vote
OF the negroes in the south,
Republicans would never believe that The
black man would voc any other than the
Republican ticket. The fact that the
voter wel black was all the proof neces-
sarv. Bat circumstances being charged
/ tie case is altered; and, now, IN utter dis
regard Of 81 consistency, they are calling
fo- proof that a Virginia negro voted the
Republican ticket.
We regret that we haven't the room to
present to our readers a review Of the evl-
dsnce taken 10 these two counties. SAT-
fee IL TO say that 1t is amply sufficient to
Justify the committee in throwing out

beautiful. and there were fully 1000
people to see the game. Morrison
started i'll to pitch for the visitors. but
at the END OF one inning turned the lob
over to Turner, who made matters even
worse. if possible, than his predecessor.
Strauss led off for the OmahaS with
base on balls, reached third on a hot
ball TO left by Cleveland, who came
home on single by Crooks. which also
sent Cleveland to third. Then Crooks
Skated to second on his shirt front, and
COoney took first on being hit in
the calf by Morrison: then Walsh
sent one to right which brought Crooks,
Cleveland and Cooney home. while
Walsh himself reached third The next
moment he scored on a wild pitch by
Morrison. Then Caravan. Messitt and
Willis went out. and the Flour CiNs
went to the bat, but retired without
making run. Whatever was expected
OF Turner. the fact was he was no I'M
pTOVem6nt over Morrison. and when
the Omahas retired at the end of the
second inning they had seven runs TO
their credit. In their half the visitors

DEAD AND YET LIVES.
How a General Was Slain by
Court Martial.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The Post
this morning says: During the prog=
ress of the Armes trial an estimable
gentleman has been killed and buried
without his knowledge or consent.
When Gov. Beaver was on the stand
several days ago, he said: '',Some gen
tlemen of my official household said to
me that Gen. Ames wanted to be an
aid on my staff, and |, forgetting that
Gen. AmeS was dead, said immedi-
ately, Appoint him." In the next
sentence Gov. Beaver said that it was
Gen. Adelbert Ames whom he meant.
Since that time Gen. Adelbert Ames
has been, for the purposes of this trial.
considered dead general. In some in
eXplicable way it has also come TO
be the generally accepted belief that
he has been dead fifteen years. No
body knows who fixed the date of his
death, but it was fixed. Gen Adelbert
AmeS, the same man TO whom Gov.
Beaver referred, is now living at Low
ell, Mass, and if a good, firm handWrit-
ing is an indication of his strength. is
IN reasonably good health. Gen. Ames
married Blanche Butler, the beautiful
daughter of Gen. b. f. Butler. Their
son, Butler Ames, was appointed
cadet at west folnt last January, and
the letter of acceptance is signed by the
boys father, Adelbert Ames.'' The
ArmeS court martial has concluded
the examination of witnesses. To-mor-
row it will begin to hear arguments.
Should the verdict be for conviction.
there can he but one sentence. that of
dimissal from the service. In all prob
ability the verdict will be guilty. with a
recommendation to mercy. Armes will
probably get two years suspension.
