the country. I was absent , ten days.
When 1 returned Cunningham told me
that as the others had been sent away I
lad to go also ; the reason given was
that they, (the Democrats) .wished all
Republican leaders tO -get out of the
way. mat ruling oi matters properly

eft Cunningham told me that I need
only go so far as my brother's and could

Shreveport. ' i '
John u. Lewis (colored), of Natchi
toches, testified that after the adjournr
ment oi tne meeting on oeptemoer i
his housB was broken into by a party of
men armed with rifles and revolvers.
While the party were, searching his
home for him he hid in some thick
weeds in the back yard. The party
was much excited, and-threatened to
kill him if they could find him. Wit
ness managed to effect his escape from
the place and made his way to New
Orleans.. X ' ' -
Raford Blount (colored), of Natchi
toches, was next examined. He stated
that on September 21, in the afternoon,
his house was surrounded by a body of
armed men, numbering 2o0, commanded
by M. J. Cunninghan, present member
of the Legislature from Natchitoches.
His house was broken into, and' he sur
rendered liimself on receiving assurance
that he would not be, harmed. j He was
taken to jail and kept there until .mid
night when he was allowed to leave
town, on the condition that he would
advise the negroes to leave politics
alone, and wou d never - return to the
parish. Witness said he was man of
property in the parish, and. was driven
away on account of his influence with
the coiorea race, an innuence ne rjaa
always exerted against the Democratic
party. Witness was pastor of a Baptist
church, and in 1876 was Senator in the
1'acKaru j-egisiature. ; witness statea
that the lawlessness in Natchitoches
was due solely to politicians, as respect
able people vwere not in favor of it.
Witness has not returned to Natchito
ches since September 22.

Parish, testified that before the election

regular Democratic and an Independent
Democratic ticJtet. lhe negroes agreea
'to support the latter, and witnesses
bebeved the negroes were mtimiaatea
to such an extent as : to prevent the
the election of the! Independent ticket.
They also believed frauds were commit
ted by stuffing the ballot-boxes. The
whole machinery of the election was in
the hands of the regular Democratic
nominees. The witnesses were candi
dates on the Independent ticket. -

FROM OUR RALEIGH CORRE9
XONDENT.
Raleigh, N. cl. Jan. 0th, 1870.
The "city of oaks" is pretty. , well
crowded with legislative lobyists
curious spectators and a wood full of
Senatorial candidates, who are willing
to be Hearted up like the celebrated
Nasby ana Jorcea to serve weir coun
try in the SenatoriaLlialls of the nation.
The Republican members of the
legislature seem to be unamimous in
their condemnation of the action of
the state committee in refusing to place
a Republican state ticket in the field
in the last August election, which they
characterize as an evidence of weakness
and want of back bone, there is a
visible determation manifested among
Republicans generally but more especi
ally among tne western i&cpuoiicans
who heretofore have beea very "tender
footed-" They now seem to be more
zealous in the determation to prepare
our forces by complete and thorough
organization for the great day of battle
the contest of 1880. Even then the
eastern Republicans, if we can regard
the expression of the Republican re
presentatives as the reflected sentiment
of their party. It is very evident that
with judicioujsmanagemeut the prospect
was neyer better for Republican suc
cess than ? in "1880. But hew ' party
leaders mu3t be brought to the, front
ujid back bone, more back bone much
;more back bone, rrust be manifested
among! the leaders. !
At 12 . o'clock M. to-day the Hou?tjof
Representatives was called to order by
Mr. John D. Cameron the clerk of the
House in 1876-7. The roll, of counties
was called and members were qualfied
by Mr. C. B. R. ot, J. P. The member j
were received on presentation of their
certificate!?. When Brunswick Was
Teached, Mr. Mears presented hi8 cerV
itificate. Dr. R. M. Norraent objected to;
hi.v qualification claiming . that Mr.
Brook.n; wa elected. lis asked ; that
'the certificate be read, which '-was "done.
; -the clerk ruling that the certificate
waa sufficient, (Mr. Brooks was vol
hpresent),.hence Mr. Mears will repro-
yaut oriinisreptesnt BrunswicS county,
the .voters of the county wishing tp the
contrary, notwithstanding.
Alter iha qualification of members
the Clerk announced the next business
itt i rder to bethe election of a Speaker.
Mr.' Cook, of 1 rank tin. nominated
John M, Moringrsaid he was a zealousT
worker- in the cause of Democracy
was farmiliar with parlimentary law
and true to the principles' of tbe Demo
cratic party. It was very evident that
he Democratic party had harmonized
upon their man, as no other Demo
cratic nomination was made.
Mr. II- E. Scott, of New Hanover.
obtained, the floor and said: Mir. Clerk,
I desire to place in nomination for the
responsible position of Speaker of this
House, 'one whose experience in both
branches of the Assembly as a legisla-
or, ana whose kuowledge of rules gov
erning parliamentary bodies, ass well as
his dignified bearing and uniform cour
teous manner so amply fits him for the
position. Knowing, sir that he posses
es all those elements which are prere
quinte qualifications for a presiding of
fleer, and knowing that his conduct
would, be characterized by fairness and
impartiality as a presiding officer over
this honorable body, I take great pleas
ure in placing in nomination the Hon.
R; M. Normeut of Robeson, as Sneaker
of the II6use of Representatives. Mr.
JVlonug received OS votes and Mr. Nor
meut 27.'
A noticeable feature! ia this connec
tion is (the. fact that Mr. Cook, in his
remarks ou his 'candidate, dwelt with
emphasis upon tha services rendered
tho pafty, and his iealiy to the princi
ples of Democracy, while Mr. Scott
never once referred to party1 but in a
very eloquent manner brought promi
nently forward those .lificatious;
whichwere combined in an inaividual
like "the stone which the builders re
fused,'? fits and fills the place. Mr.
fcJcott is the first Republican who' made
aBpeecIi in tne House during tne ses
sion thus far. Asa debater he bna full
controlr'of himself ' while' speaking. a:i I
although it is evident that he is of the
order of euthiiiiastio speakers, V-et he
speaks1 with deliberation and impressive
earnestness, lie was warily "cougr.it
ulated! by the . Republican merauei;
who admired his boldness and zealous
activity. 'Indeed with Normenl, Scott,
Clark of Craven, and others who are
watchful and vigilant sentinels,' the in
terest of the principles of Republican
ism will be well guarded.
Mr. Waddell of New Hanover, is of a
quiet,-dignified sort, whais a steady and
firm as an old veteran, it does not re
quire great penetrating power to dis
co ;er the fact that he is more of a busi
ness man than -a talking one one of
the kind which are indispensible on
important committees, who is ready to
do the greater, and in fact the substan
tial part of legislation.! New Hanover
county has gooa reason, to be proud of
her Representatives in the House.
The-all absorbing topic ot the day is
the Senatorial question. The friends of
the two! prominent candidates, Vance
and Merrimon, are so nearly evenly di
vided, numerically speakins. that each
side is afraid of the other. The Repub-
licans manifest wisdom in their deter
minatidn to select a good, true, un
flinching Republican, who posseses:
back-bone, moral courage and unswerv-
mg aeyotion to tne principles oi ie"
publicanism. ana stana by him as their
standard bearer, and let the Democrats
continue their "Kilkenny cat fight," for
the days of their power, are numbered
boon will the cepter uepart irom their
hands land a brighter era shall dawn
upon; the old North State.
Mr. Scott has introducep a bill to re
peal chapter 141, acts of 1875-78,
which if passed will place the selection
of county officers back with the people,
also a bill defining the jurisdiction of
magistrates
George H. White, (colored) sou of

I A schbol master tells us the following
good joiie. I was once teaching ina
quiet J country village. The second
morning of the session I had time to
survey my surroundings, and among
the ecahty furniture I espied a three
legged stool. "Is this the dunce block ?"
I asked a little girl of five years. The
dark eyes sparkled, the curls nodded
assent, and the lips rippled out "I guess
so: the teacher alwavs sits on it." .
"The betrothal of Fraulein JSIargaret
Rothschild, daughter of Baron Charles
yon Rothschild, of Frankfort, to the
Due de Quiche, a Roman Catholic, has
given rise to much regret and consider
able discussion in the Jewish European
press.! This affair is most particularly
deplored, inasmuch of the example set
will be most pernicious in its effects,
and the i?raulein Margaret will douBt
less be compelled to seek admission
into the communion of the Roman
Catholic Church.

.It is very strange that Sheriff Taylor
-who claims that he was elected last
August, Sheriff of Brunswick county,
should have given Mr. Meares a certiff"
cate as a member of the legislature,
when the election returns show that
Mr. Brooks, the Republican candidate
for tho legislature received about the
same numberLof votes that Mr. Taylor'
did. Now if Mr. Meare3 is entitled to
his seaf as member of the legislature,
then Sheriff Taylor's opponent is en
titled to be Sheriff of Brunswick county.
