Coroner Hewlett held an inquest yester day morning over an old colored man .by the name Of Hercules Stewart, aged about 55 years, who died very suddenly on Mon day afternoon last. It appears that de ceased lived, alone in one end of , a small house' or hovel near Union depot, the other end of which was occupied by some colored women and children.' The bid man was subject to fits and had several on Sunday, but appeared to be in his usual health on Monday.. During the storm of wind and rain that passed over the city that afternoon tbe women and children, la order to avoid the wetting which they were cure to get if they remained in their own room, sought refnge in a small house in the neighbor hood.

Some one came to his store,, near the Court House, on the day the returns were can vassed, and told him the Commissioners were about to throw out some tf the re turns. Ran ever to the . Commissioners' room and remonstrated with them against such action. Told them Dr- Norment -ought to be present.

Was informed the Board had asked his advice as counsel on the subject of throwing out the returns. ' As he came out of the room after that action had - been ta ken; Cot McLean remarked that it "took a good many men a long time to conduct an election; but he (McLean bad carried this in , twenty minutes.". Witness heard Mc Lean give the - Commissioners no adyice. Heard none cf the Commissioners make similar declarations. - - Cross examined--Ran; over to the Court House. when he heard that Dr. Norment was likely to lose his election. The Com missioners' counsel was sometimes employ ed to attend to cases while on a spree. Had known him to be'employed while in such a condition to come to Wilmington to attend to ;a case. Correcting.! Did not mean to say that he was employed by other par ties than the Commissioners while s.on a spree. Did not know. ' CoL- McLean was a man of fine mind. Did not know he had been attorney for the Commissioners for twelve months. McLean had appeared before the Commissioners in t case against him (witness). . Think the poll-book, con taining names of all voters, was sent up from bis poll to tlwj Commissioners, accom panying the returns of the total number of votes cast for eachl candidate. Could not say whether it was sent to the Commisai6n ers or to the Register of Deeds, j Did not feel satisfied whether it was right to send the poll-book with the returns, j Re-direct The poll-book was not his return of the number of votes cast for each candidate. .

Saw him in the room ; with the Board of Commissioners with a book in his hand reading to them. Thought he was tight. As he came out of the room past where witness was,' heard him say .. Objected to but admitted. Col. McLean said something to this effect to the crowd. We know how to be sharp. While you're around making speeches, I'm after the money. I got 00 for this. Youjboys ain't sharp." Thought he was tight. Heard Commissioner Morrison .say some days later: "As long as we've gone into it, and they've doneas they , have with us, we'll fiisht it out to the bitter; end. ? We won't be crushed by them any : longer." Thought he referred to the Republican party. ' - Cross-examined CoL McLean was run ning on the boys as he would when tight when be said that about their not oetng sharp and his making the money. . . Witness thought Commissioner Morrison made the remarks just quoted about two or three weeks after the election, but that it was not after the trial at Greensboro. It was after the talk about indicting the Commissioners, and must have been at some meeting of the Board.' He had gone there on-business for an old colored woman.

Foster French again took the stand and testified in reference to . his conversa tion with Mr. Morrison ion : the Monday night after the election. A portion of that conversation had been ' drawn out- on his prior examin ation and - he now thought it due to Mr. Morrison that he give the re mainder. - He had been asked for an opin ion on the legality of the action, of the Com- missioners, but had declined to give vt, as he had not consulted the statute. He told Mr. Morrison, however, that as the . Board had decided the matter in the way they thought right if they still thought they had done right, they ought not to change. No tice of contest had been already given, and the Convention would properly be called upon now to decide. Especially now, since threats had been made against them (he had said to Mr. Morrison) he thought the Com missioners would deservedly lose in the es timation of ,algood men ?of both parties by retiring from the position they had de liberately and conscientiously chosen. 9.:-A: BuifcalledqWaS f Register of Union Chapel precinct (one of those thrown out).

The President of the Ladies' Benevolent Society feels constrained to disclaim for herself and those associated with her, the insinuation , which appeared last week in one of the city papers, that persons refusing employment in the factory are encouraged in this idleness by support from .the society. : 'It is well known, that in all our monthly meetings this very Jhing is brought before the visitors, and they are strongly urged to refuse aid to those who are able to work in the factory kad will hot do so. And we have offered to aid such as will take employment there, by giving them food until they acquire skill enough to receive wages. ' Our society was formed to relieve the sick and ' disabled. We do not mean to support any, but only to give occasional relief in times of distress.
