CAPTAIN WILLIAM HALL, Of the fifth
cavalry, advocates the use of the revolver
by mounted troops instead Of the saber,
which, he says is useless as weapon in
actual warfare. This has long been the
cry of Colonel Mosby, who considers the
saber a very pretty toy for dress parade,
but really a detriment to trooper in close
combat. Colonel Mosby Rad this belief

IL was found that two OF the Canyassing
Board had signed afidavits for each con-

intimidation. Settle this afternoon wrote
and Med an affidavit that there was no IN
timidatiOn. Thereupon A. NJ. STACK,

SETTLE GETs THE CERTIFICATE.
After a long discussion the board de-
cided TO admit the returns from Stokes.
This gave Settle the certificate. The next
matter taken up was as 10 whether seventy
three votes cast in Guilford for Thomas

Settle. There was an able argument by
Platt Walker in favor of so counting
them, but the board decided TO count
them az they stood. The principle
which guided the board was to support
every return in due form except where
evidence was sufficient TO overthrow tle
presumption Of its integrity. The board
announced the vote as follows: Ihomas
