OPERA HOUSE.
Salvtni in Don Ceesar de Bazan.
A refined andhost appreciative au
dience, equalling in number any of the
season, enjoyed a treat in witnessing Sal
vini's interpretation of the role of Don
Caesar de Bazan, at the Opera House
last night. This character is one of the
most delightful ot De Ennery's many.
With the free, open-hearted, good
humored Don Caesar we easily fall in
love. Attracted at first td the man by
the recklessness of his character we are
disposed at first to condemn ; but our
admiration is soon awakened by the
evidence of sterling worth beneath the
rouh exteriir. Mr. Salvini's inter
pretation is masterly in many re
spects. That he pleased his au
dience the frequent applause and
curtain calls he received sufficiently
attest. The play depends entirely upon
its action for its charm; the dialogue is
too stilted, and at once attracts at
tention by its paucity of sentiment and
the poor epxression of what little it does
contain. That Mr. Salvini captivated
his auditors with such a poor play is
but an evidence of his ability. JT-hel
supporting company was verygoOd.

THE.ELEGTION MSES.
CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL IN THE
SUPERIOR COURT
Testimony of witnesses for the Defence
Concluded Tho Issues Decided Upon
by the Court The Plea of Res Ad-
judicata.
The investigation-of the election case
was resumed at 10 o'clock.
- Joseph T. Kerr was introduced for
the defence. He swoce substantially as
follows, "I was appointed a poll-holder
by Cowan during the first part of Oc
tober. When I was nominated for Re
presentative I resigned as poll-holder.
Cowan then appointed McFadyen. I
carried the appointment to him some
time in the first part of October. I
went to Cowan's house with Thomas.
Cowan and myself went to dinner and
we talked about the registration. Cowan
decided to employ Thomas' to assist
him. I had nothing to do with the em
ploying, nor did I say anything to
Thomas about it when I came from din
ner. I am one of the Justices of Cape
Fear township. We did no official busi
ness at that meeting. The Board of
Magistrates did not meet, and
did not act at all in the matter.
The conversation between Cowan aud
Thomas was short. Cowan said: 'Harry,
Mr. Kerr and myself have talked the
matter over, and it is just a matter of
dollars and cents with you. I will get
you to assist me, and will allow you
whatever the commissioners allow me.'
Thomas assented to this. Thomas
never showed me the minute of Oct.
1st, nor did I ever see it before to-day.
After the conversation, two men came
in to register. Thomas started to regis
ter them, when Cowan went over to
him and either did it himself or showed
Thomas how. Cowan told Thomas that,
he would not need him the balance of
the day, and Thomas and-rnyself went
off together. I had-a conversation sub
sequently with Thomas. He said:
'There some talk of throwing out
Gape Fear township; so you had better
come up and fix ud those DaDers.'
a A.
I told him that I did not intend
to have anything more to do
with it. It is not true that j
Thomas told me Cowan sent for
me to fix up the papers. He told
me of Cowan's sickness, and I told him
that I would go and see him in a few
days. The general reputation in the
township was that Cowan was registrar,
and I never heard of anything to the
contrary until election day. Was not
present at the opening of the polls on
election day. Wilson was the only duly
appointed poll-holder that held the
election; the remainder being Thomas
and his appointees. I registered before
both Cowan and Thomas. I think
Cowan administered the oath while
Thomas did the writing. I stayed at the
polls about three hours. I reckon Mr.
Blossom was there when I left and look
ed after the counting. I had no under
standing with him. I do not know
whether Mr. Blossom was there all day."
Samuel Blossom was introduced and
testified as follows : "I live in Cape
Fear township. I heard the testimony of
Jno. D. Bellamy, Jr., and remember the
conversation he narrated as occuring be
tween himself and Thomas at Cowan's
house. Mr. Bellamy stated it exactly as it
was. He'asked Thomas what he was doing
there; Thomas replied: 'Assisting Mr.
Cowan.' On being informed by Mr.
Bellamy that he had no right to register
anyone he replied ihat such was"his
opinion, and requested Mr. Bellamy to
ask Cowan to resign and have him ap
pointed. Mr. Bellamy promised to do
so, and they then looked over the regis
tration books. We then went into
Cowan's room, and after inquiring after
his health Mr. Bellamy spoke of the il
legality in allowing Thomas to register.
Cowan replied that he could not help it;
Thomas was the best man he could get,
and he had to have help as he was-sick
and unable to give his entire attention
to the matter. On being informed by
Mr. Bellamy of Thomas' request, Cowan
replied: 'John, you must think I am a
fool. Why if I should do anything like
that the people of the township
would kick me out of the county. On
informing Thomas of Cowan's refusal to
resign, he said that he was going to see
Mr. Cowan about it, and that thing
wouldn't do, Thomas told me before
that day, that he was Cowan's clerk. I
was present in Mr. Cowan's room on
revision day, when Thomas came in
with a book in his hand from the place
where the revision had taken place.
Cowan told Thomas to put the book on
the bureau. Thomas said 'I want to
take this book with me. There are some
things I want-to look over and get
straight. I will bring it back on Mon
day.' I was at the polls election day, but
did not hear Cowan demand the books.
Thomas was not sworn; but he swore
the other poll-holders. I, asked Cowan
why he was not holding -the election,
and he replied that he could not get the
books. Thomas swore me. - I thought
he was swearing me -as a challenger,
When I heard the oath for a poll-holder
I refused to serve. When there was a
lull in the voting during the day
the poll-holders would count the
ballots, so that when the polls
closed when night came there were very
few votes to count. I was not present
all theStme they were counting. The
ballots were strung, T iid not count
the votes. I do" not know what votes
were strung. Don't kiow if they were
the ones that came out of the boxes or
not."
A. W. McFadS en was the next wit
ness. "I was appointed -a poll-holder
by Cowan on Oct. 18th. Went to Castle
Hayne on revision day. Went to Cowan's
house' first. It is not" "true that Thomas
did not go to Cowan's house before he
went to revise the books. I saw him at
Cowan's and asked him where Cowan
was. tie told me that he was sick and
for me to go on to Castle Hayne and he
would bring the books up there, Thomas
did not have the books when I was
talking with him. I was at the polling
place on election day. The regular ap
pointed poll-holders did not hold the
election. Cowan demanded the books,
but Thomas refused to deliver them. I
refused to serve .as poll-holder because
Thomas was acting as registrar and I
had no appointment from him. Thomas
was not sworn as registrar on revision
day."
J. J. Jackson testified: "I met Thomas
on the Friday before election. He was
drinking, I have seen him drunk on
several occasions. He told me that he
expected to have some trouble on elec
tion day, but that he had the books and
would die before he would give them up.
I refused to serve as poll-holder on elec
tion day, because I did not recognize
Thomas as registrar. Heard Cowan's
demand for the books, and Thomas' re
fusal. Cowan's character is good. B. A.
Carter's character is bad.
James Baker swore thatJiewas at the
polls on election --day. "Thomas and
Grady camerlnto the store where I was.
liieafd Thomas say, 'If Cowan wants to
shoot I can shoot as good as he can.'
Grady told him to hush up and hold on
to the books."
William Cromwell stated that he was a
magistrate in Cape Fear township.
"Thomas never came to my house on the
1st of October, but he came on the 13th.
Thomas did not show me any entry
in any minute book nor was anything
said about it. Thomas swore me in
Wilmington and put my name on the
registration book at Castle Hayne. I
went to Castle Hayne to see if Thomas
had registered me. He seemed annoyed
at my coming, and told me that he had
told Cowan about it, and that he had
told him to register me. Cowan was
reported to be the Registrar in Cape
Fear township. His character is good;
never heard it questioned."
M, G. Chadwick testified as to Cow
an's demand of Thomas and his refusal.
Also, that the counting of ballots began
before the polls were closed. He further
swore to the good character of Mr.
Cowan.
Messrs. P. B. Manning and Allan B.
Brown testified as to the proceedings of
the Canvassinp- Board. Mr. BrownJ
testified: "Thomas was not sworn as a
member of the Canvassing Board. After
the organization of the Board the vote
of Federal Point township was canvass
ed. Then Cape Fear was called up.
Cowan offered a report which was read
and unanimously adopted. Then
Thomas arose and gesticulating excited
ly, called 'Mr. Chairman.' Judge Rus
sell took a paper from Thomas' hand
and said 'you refuse to receive the paper
then?' The chairman made no reply as
there was a great deal of confusion
caused by insulting and threatening lan
guage that Thomas had used to J. M.
McGowan, one of the Board, and which
-drowned the voice of the speaker. There
was never any designation of any paper
as a return from Cape Fear township."
The defence closed here. The plf in
tiff in rebuttal introduced J. H. Dorset
and C. P. Lockey. Their tesjimony shed
no light upon the controversy.
His Honor, Tudge Mclver, announced
that as the respective counsel had been
unable to agree upon issues in accord
ance with the law, he would settle
the issues himself and submitted
one issue: "Was the plaintiff's relator
duly elected to the office of Superior
Court Clerk?" Tudge Russell contend
ed for additional issues, but His Honor
decided to submit the one given above.
His Honor stated that his present opin
ion was against the plea of fesadjudicata
and that he wished that disposed of at
this stage.
Mr. Rountree addressed the Court in
a strong, legal argumant in support of
the plea, citing many authorities in sup
port, and recalling as evidence of the
intention of the Legislature to make the
adjudication of the Canvassing Board
conclusive and final, the various acts re
lating to their powers successively pass
ed after the Supreme Court had decided
against the final jurisdiction of the
Board because of the non-conferring of
the power.
At 6 o'clock a recess was taken until
this morning at 10 o'clock.
