The following is q sample OF the wit.
nesses and Of the testimony for the de !
fence In the trial OF Captain Mitchell for
interfering with voters at the polls and
for preventing Mr.. Gorrell from voting.
by assaulting him The report says!
The defence opened its case by pro
ducing Charles II Groves, who resides
at No 500 West Ninth street. who
testified that when Mr. Gorrell came TO
vote several men were In line. and. as he
attempted to put In his tax receipt
Captain Mitchell squared around and
said, "Mr. Gorrell, you cannot vote until
You get IN line On cross examination.
he said the nature Of the line was two
abreast at the window, but the column
increased TO five or SIX in depth at the
steps.
And that IS your Idea OF liner" re-
torted the city solicitor. Mr.. HAYES
then tried Co show that 1t was "a
crooked line" that was there then. The
witness would not say whether, az ths
time, anyone was attempting to vote
or not. He swore positively
that Captain Mitchell did not take Mr.
dorrsll by the lapel of the coat and throw
him away
This man Groves is an insignificant
looking man, reputed b be employed in

BE was not known 20 Councilman Cotton
of the Fifth ward, who has been a long
resident there. His testimony was CON
Trajectory to that OF Mr.. Cotton, and Mr..
Colton's testimony agreed with that Of
the prosecution.
This seems to place Mr.. Groves in the
category Of what the attaches of the
courts sometimes describe as an
accommodating and convenient witness
accommodates himself to any view of
the truth, at convenience. It was on
such testimony as this that Captain
Mitchell relied for his defence.
The election ia over, and the Republl-
cans will enjoy peaseable possession Of
the Offices obtained by such means. What
do respectable, honest. fair end just Re
publicans think of itf
What Are selfrespecslng Democrats
going 10 do about itg
Mr. Gorrell Is an exceptionally rep
utable citizsn--a business man, and not
politician. He was orderly and reassn
able, but hia vote was refused. he was
intimidatsd, insultsd and finally assaulted
at the POLLS.
Captain Mitchell, backed by drunken
and excited negroes did what any brave
or fair man would not stoop to do in the
presence Of white men and what no lust
or honorable man should do anywhere.
Cap ain Mitchell may have been super
heated BY intcxleAtion or by an insanity
OF partisan zeal. but that is no excuse
Something Of that sort has occurred all
over the city at all OF the three recent
elections. Il seems to be Republican
policy
Can 1t be expected that the citizens Of
this commonwealth will submit tamelv

Much the most interesting book which
has appeared during the present publish

Oliphant, which the distinguished novel;
ist who bears his name has given to the

not solely or mainly in the fact that
Oltphant was an exceedingly clever and
brilliant man, who lived a varied and
checkered life and had MANY
curious adventures Everybody reads
or will read, the book because
Of the physiological question which il
Involves; and that question is not likely
to become any the less interesting IL it Is
followed by the controversy which seems
to be beginning just now. According to
