There were 81 cars of stock unloaded at the stock yards this noon. The water works company is preparing to lay the water pipes across the river to the Insane asylum. Fred Lindner, the well-known “governor” of the Circle house club, leaves tonight for San Francisco, where he will locate. The I., C. and L. tracks near the aqueduct are not intended to be crossed by vehicles. An accident will be furnished there one of these days. James E. Heller, prosecuting attorney, has returned from Wisconsin and will devote himself to the preparation of the Voas case. Mr. Elam will be here Monday. Two justices of the peace and one physican, this morning, decided that Fanny Barretl, residing at 147 Eddy street, is insane, and should be sent to the hospital.

Cuilom, of Illinois, and Governor Williams, of Indiada, visited 20 business houses on Washington atreet. to-day, in less than an hour. She professes to be raising money for the grasshopper sufferers in Kansas. She did not get any great number of contributions, as the Kansas grasshopper dodge is almost threadbare. A prominent business man on South Meridian street told a reporter this morning that he had been saved several hundred dollars by the management of Henrv Jordan, .register in bankruptcy. The register took enough interest in the bankruptcy of a country merchant to order an investigation, and the result was the finding of fraud and the saving of a large amount of money.

This morning hia case was called in the mayor's court and continaed until tomorrow. PARDONED CRISUWADS. Some of the ComIoU Turwed Loose by Governors Hendricks and Williams. From an article in the Journal, compiled from the official records, the following digest of the work of the pardoning power under Governors Hendricks and Williams is made: The total number of criminals pardoned by Governor Hendricks during the four years of his office, from 1873 to 1877, inclusive, is 231. Of these 20 were for murder, 18 of them being life sentences, and one sentenced far two years. The total time in prison of the 18 who were sent there for life is 129 years and 2 months, making an average of the length of a life service for murder 7 years and 2 1-9 months. The shortest sentence was that of Samuel Red, of Johnson county, sentenced for 2 years in April, 1872, and pardoned in January, 1873, cutting hia term off 3 months. The longest was that of “Buck” McKinney, Bartholomew county, sentenced June, 1857, pardoned January, 1877, making 19 years, 7 months. • There were 24 sentences for manslaughter, There were 11 setnenced for “intent to kill,” “attempt to murder.” There were 8 sentenced for burglary; 2 for aasault and battery; 1 for assault with intent to rob; 8 for grand larceny; 2 for arson; 1 for highway robbery; 4 for rape and intent to Tape; 2 for forgery and 1 for embezzlem ent. The others pardoned were for 0 f magnitude than those ^ ere g \ vea . Governor W ilh ^ m8 <j ur j n g the eighteen h? 0111 ”? , his term which have elapsed iiaf) pa^oned '127 criminals. ^ n,f, cate holding good for his four years '..ould make 340. And this ratio would probably be increased toward the end of nis term, for it is noted that in the last thirty days of Governor Hendricks’s icrm ne tssueu tuiriy paruons, one a day, eight of them being on life sentences. Of the 127 thus far pardoned by Governor Williams, the more important are for murder, six, all sentenced for 1&. Jhe aggregate time served by these life sentences was 37 years and nine months, making an average life sentence underGovernor Williams six years and three and a half months. These pardons of life sentences do not in any case include sentences commuted from the death penalty to life imprisonment, as in the recent cases of Gilooly and Greenley by Governor Williams, but only those who have been sent to prison for life by the courts and thence pardoned oot by the governors. Among the other criminals pardoned by Governor Williams, 1 was for arson; 4 intent to kill; 3 manslaughter; 6 rape; 2 burglary and robbery; 1 robbery with intent to kill; 2 forgery; 1 assault and batterv; 1 embezzlement and 1 receiving stolen goods. Fletcher Family Reunion. The first general reunion of the decendants of Robert Fletcher, who lived in Concord, Mass., in 1630, is to beheld in Huntington hall, Lowell, August 21. The Fletcher family ranges from the sixth to the tenth generation from the common ancestor, and their blood was nurtured through at least four generations on the old ground to be revisited. The gathering is to be held under the auspices of the Fletcher family union, which is officered by members of the family from Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Maryland. New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan and Oregon. Dr. W. B. Fletcher of this city is one of the vice presidents. There is a great deal of interest taken in the affair, and it is expected the gathering will be a large one. The Indianapolis Fletchers will be represented by Rev. J. C. Fletcher, Dr, W. B. Fletcher not being able to attend. S. A. Fletcher, sr., now at Ludlow Vermont, will attend the reunion. The Deadfall. The combination pool game is not as robust and flourishing as it was before The News exposed the establishment, calling the notice of the authorities to its bold violation of law. A patren of the game who is in the confidence of Bob Smith says the receipts of the deadfall have declined seventy-five per cent., and it will be but a few days before the concern will be forced to close. As the grand jury does not meet until next month this will give the owners and operators of the game ample time to arrange their business, and if a vigorous prosecution is really intended, to withdraw.

- Mistake in Election Returns. It has been discovered that in the last election for congressman from the second Illinois district, on the west side, that the certified returns in the office of the secretary of state show that the vote was: Col. George R. Davis 14,436, lion. Carter H. Harrison, present incumbent, 14,491, giving Davis an actual majority of 45. The returns as made up at the time of the election gave Harrison a majority of 642. Col. Davis has expressed his intention of contesting the seat on the grounds furnished by these figures, but it is believed that it is too late in the season to accomplish anything. Captain Eada Defended. R. 8. Elliott, secretary of the South Pass

Captain Eads is not in the city. Hence Mr. Elliott’s card. Return of Li be jinn Emigrants. The Liberian emigrant bark Azor arrived at Charleston yesterday.

THE POTTER INVESTIGATION. Conclusive Testimony of Secretary Sher-

man.

Atlantic Citt, N. J.—Secretary Sherman resumed his testimony this morning before the Potter committee. There was, as en the previous occasion, a large at-

tendance.

The secretary was interrogated by Representative Hiscock, and said that on the 17th day of November the visiting republicans called' upon the returning board to pay their respects, having understood the visiting democrats had paid a similar visit of courtesy the day before. The republicans stated they came to New Orleans at the request of President Grant and of the political organizations to w j t . ness the count, not to interne w jth the official duties of the ' board. They expressed a hop*’ that the proceedings would be con - ducted openly. The board ado'^^cd a resolution inviting five ge. nt .men on each side to be present as witnesses of the proceedings. Tne republican visitors thought the democr^ic visitors were more active than they were,mingling with the board and ex»micin? ', a - E artire 1 w- ther r ^ cta the con dlivt of 1 •<«* the same. , . iij after the board commenced their cosiness on the 20th of November, and the testimony began to be taken. Under the . ru le* H became necessary to prepare interrogatories and cross interrogatories. The visiting ropyblicang endeavored to procure copies as fast as they could on the republican side. As these accumulated rapidly, the work of examining the bulldozed parishes was divided, Cortlandt Parker being assigned to East Felicinia and General Garfield to West Felicinia, Hale to East Baton Rogue, General White to Washidian, and Judge Kelly to Morehouse parish. The republican visitors designated five persons to attend the board in pursuance of an invitation. The first day witness attended. Question—Did y m or any of your associates meet privately with any member or members of the board? Answer—I reply emphatically, no. I was never privately alone with any member of the board. I treated the members the same as I would have treated any other court or tribunal before which I appeared either as witness or advocate, at dinners with them and other guests bait never alone. I never mentioned the duties of the returning board or alluded to the investigation or protest to any member of the board while in New Orleans. I was at the custom house several times but never transacted any business there. When you were in New Orleans did you meet with D. A. "Weber? I don’t remember meeting either him or Anderson except in a casual way. I met with hundreds of persons without their making an impression on my mind. I have a somewhat indefinite recollection that Weber and Anderson came to me at a restaurant, and engaged in a short inconsequential talk.-uid then went away. Mr. Stoughton was present with me. I don’t think I ever saw

them before.

In response to questions Sherman de-

rifle clnb who 1b addition to other Crimea drove negroes from their homes to the swamps. Hi* oonveraetioo* on that milnect were similar to the remarks he had uttered in the senate, and he would make them in New Orleans to-day. [Applause by audience.] There never could be peace and quiet while these thin^ii occurred. In the fall of 1876, In Louisiana, there were scores of cases of intimidation, violence and wrong. He could not thina of these occurrences even now without a feeling of resentment and without exciting his anger. The testimony was overwhelming. The secretary, in reply to a question, handed in a memorandum detailing the circumstances of Anderson’s visit to him at the treasury department in March last, and giving an account of the conversation as noted' at the time by the secretary’s stenographer. In the course ol the colloquy Mr. Sherman in reply to Andersoh said he did not remember* a eertain^onversation, to which Anderson replied: “If you don’t, then there is no use ki my recalling it.” Secretary Sherman— “What did you talk with me about in that interview?”

SECOND EDITION.

Sbermui Before the Potter Committee.

A* Interesting Letter from Hot. Hajtft.

nied emphatically the truth of the testimony of James E. Anderson alleging a conversation between Sherman and Weber

and Anderson, in which it was represented

that Sherman said:

I wanted to see you, gentleman, as there was mime difficulty in reference to your parishes. Now this m a crisis in which not only Louisiana but the whole country is involved, and tt is a time when we expect every true patriot to stand by us. Now I hope you gentlemen are going to do that thing, ‘Weil, Mr. .Sherman,’ aaid Weber, ‘Mr. Andeison at d I have already done more than •

arrant me in doing.’

you mean by that?’ We her replied: ‘The people of my parish are cou»ltierabfy worked up, and I have made a protest which is perhaps more sweeping than it should have been, and if I go back I will be undoubtedly in danger of ray life ’

riL

‘Well,’ said 8herman, “what necessity is therefor your going hack?’ Weber said, ‘My family ia there; my wife and children are there, my whole property ia there. What have I to do.’ Mr. Sherman aaid, ‘You can be provictod for elsewhere, To the above he said he never had such conversation. He never could have made a speech about controlling the patronage, nor did anybody mention to him anything of the forged protest. He never heard of such a thing, and when in New Orleans he was very cautious in his expressions, as

wire his associates.

Secretary Sherman was shown a letter alleged to have been written to him by Weber and Anderson,,

dated November 20th, 1876.

Secretary Sherman, in reply, said he never received such a letter and never saw or heard of it until it was published. “When,” said the secretary, “this matter came to my knowledge, I sent to my home in Ohio for my papers to be forwarded to me in order that I might find the original of this letter, if it was there. It could not have been sent to me without my knowing it. Any such letter would have excited my resentment. The letter

on its face is insulting.”

Question—In what respect is the letter

insulting?

Answer—It is suggestive of falsehood and exceedingly improper. They say: “We have carefully considered the argument advanced by you in eur interview. Your assurance that we shall be taken care of ia scarcely spec i fie enough. In case we pursue the course suirgestefl by you we would be obliged to leave the slate. Will you therefore state in writing who we shall look to for the fulfillment of these promises.” In response to further questioning Secretary Sherman said that he never suggested to these men employment for any service they might render in connection with the returning board or in any other way nor was any promise of reward even intimated. With reference to the alleged reply Secretary Sherman said most emphatically he did not write sbcH a letter. At the same time however as he stated when this investigation began there were things in. that he would have written to these or any other men who were engaged ut the performance of what he believed to be their duty, if he had been asked, but he did not think he wrote the letter. He believed he did say in conrenationa with various gentlemen that all the persona in Loumiana who stood by their jpns deserved credit. If he had been a citizen of Louisiana he would probably have been killed, ior he sbould have misted the

Burleigh iras a man of varied accomplishments, fine education and versatile in conversation. While at Capron he was often in depressed spirits. Last Sunday he published a cant informing the citizens that ia order to gratify an often expressed

curiosity on the part of his townsmen to witness some such tragedy as the hanging of Sherry and Connolly in Chicago,

he would, on the evening of the 23d ijwt., deliver a lecture in Thornton hall, mid at its conclusion gratify them by shooting himself • through the forehead. The price of admiasiow would be $1, and the amount real^ ized should be used in his funeral ex[>«MeH and the remainder he invested in work.i ol Huxley, Tyndall and Darwin for the town library.
