Disorder Unekh the Sheiv It is not often that we feel called upon to proles against anything that happens In Weldon, butlait Saturday morning we wera witness to a sight wh cli we truit we may uever see repeated. The trains wsre just arriving from the North and the shud had Its mual crowd of pa.sieno.era under it. Juat in rear of the caaehca on "he U & G R R. about 20 ball drunken negroes, and oie or two white men were busy discus sing the race lor sheriff The couvaraa tion was loud, and thickly interspersed with horrible oaths and other language of the foulest description. Now Weldun has n-it a very savory reputation with the trav oiling public as it ia, and such scenes aa we have described, are not calculated to bet ter it. Wed.m'tlike to It id fault, but sack things as this must not ba allowed and we desire now to aay to tlw officers who are responsible for the good order nl the town, that unless they do tbeir full duty tbey may hear it thunder yet. Matters Theatrical Wo hvs here tofore bad occasion to notice various and sundry amateur theatrical organizations which have grown up In our midst and believing as we do that every means far innocent amusement should be encotragtd we have dene whatever we could lo aid and encourage them. We have now toa id another to tbe list. Ths Weldon Amateur Minstrala re-organized last Wednesday night and have begun the preparation n a seiies of perlnrmances which will add much to the enjoyment of the town dur the coming summer. This miurtrel troup is composed of tbe first young gen ttetnei of the town and tbey will give a series of very chaste an I enjoyable enter tainments. Their first appearance will be in Weldon. Thereafter they will probably make excursions to the neighboring towns si that all may have an opportunity to laugh and grow 1st.

Andersen, the auperviaor of election in East Feliciana parish, is so far the only witness examiosd by the com mittee lo ieteetigate the Presidential election. The following digest presents the salient points al bis testimony. Andersen testiflel that tbe democratic majority in East Feliclaua was 1,743 on the presidential tuket. There were no protests in tbe returns at originally aent up, Pitkin asked mo why I did not protest, I said because there was more republic m than democratic iotimidatior. I afterwards signed a protest atating Ibat I did not protest in the parish because I leered to do ao. I-havt aeen tbe Sherman protest. It is not the protest sigeed by me it is altered and in tome plaesa llltd up. THE SHERMAN REPORT OF THE PROTEST wattheo placed in tvidenoe. Alter being rsad witness want ovsr ths protest and pointsd out wherein it bad been altered sod said : I never made tbe statement att forth in the Sherman report Ibat I left Eaat Feliciana parish because I was afraid of nit li'e. In the atatessent I mads, ths worda ' Democrat" aod "Republican" did not appsir ia tba whole thing. I did state that there ha I been some intimida'ioo io the pariah, but that tbe whole number would not aggregate ever two hundred. The Sherman statement makes m aay there were twenty-two hundred intimi dated. When I first went to New Orleans iu September Governor Kellogg asked me how I thought Eist Feliciana parish would go. I said I thiuk it will give about 1,500 nujtrity. He said that wou't do ; if East Feliciana goes Democratic I don't see where Packard's majority is com ing from. Kellogg old me to go back to the p.nsti, rally the colored votes at ooo or two polls; let tbe Democrats have the rest; get up a row, and than file pro tests.
