He says that be wa3 not at the office of the Kentucky S.ate Journal, in the city cf Newport, at any tima during the evening of the 31 of November, 1 1 I ... . '

xoru, üur um ce ceen in saia ouice at any time, either during the day or evening tince the Cocpresuocal election on the 2d day of November, 1S3. Affiant states that he did not go from Covingtcn cr from the direction of Covington, in a hack or carriage or otherWise, to the corner of York and Bellevue streets in Newport, at any time during the said evening, ncr did he go form said corner north on York street, toward the residence cf Honorable A. S. Earry, In a hack or carriage, or otherwise, at 8ny time during the said evening- Affiant did not see the detective, Hayes, of Covington In Newport or elsewere at 8C7 time daring the said eyening, cor did he attend any meeting or conference at any place, or have any consultation with anybody cn said evening in relation to the Conqresficnal election la said Sixth Congressional ilistrlct cr in relation to the result thereof. ne says mat at that ttme he resided with H. E. Queen, on the Waterwerks road south of the city cf Newpo.it, in the county of Campbell, Stttc cf Kentucky, and that ha was tot cutEide of the house cf 8ld Qu en on evecirg cf the third cf November, 10, a any tirce after 0 oYlccfc, or sbout 9 o'clock. Affiant tajs that ha never afended any tcettirg cr cenferetee at any time or place after tLe aid election to caasu'.t about or consider tbe said tUcticn or the result thereof, or to teke any measures to afTect the result tLerecf in any manner, whatever, and that he never kne of any s ic i conference or meeting upon the part of h:a frierda or f-upportrs, nor did he ever hear cf any such conference or meeting. He pats tfcat he did not write 8U7 letters or send bev telegrams or messages to any part cf the ta-d district, after the said election, fcr the purpose cf ascertaining the result cr for tny other purpose in connection wi:h tie said e'ectiop, nor did he request ary ere else to do to, ana if any .'etters cr telegrams or messenger? were sent by any one, aTnat hei to knowledge cf it then, and has none new. AlüaLt savs tint the statement rcade in tbe affi Javitof George It. Thocb tfcat ro tickets were priuted and disTi v cted tf arirg the camt of John (i. drlhle at faid election, onside cf the cities of oYintton ard Newport and their aJjtcent Buluibe. aDd at some few rainLa whirh ccnld te reached by railroad, is not true. On the contrary.be sajs that an ample supply cf tickets was printed far each pre c:i.ct in tbe said congressional diajrict, and tlrant personally E-nt bem inlo evfry ccunty to be used cn the day of tiie election, except for the county of Cambfl!, and fo thst cmnty tbe ticktte were If ft m the hndi of tho Cbairmau of tbe. County Execiuive Committee to be dittributtd by him. Nor ia it tree, as stated !n the said atlidavit, that this atllant on tbe evening of the day sncoeeJicg said election, conceded ta iforam Can-.btcn that he (this aülant) had be?n deleated for member of the House cf nrre. eentativeaof the Fiftieth Consrress. tni that personally he (affiant) was heartiiw f lad of it. Ailact was do! in the clt of Covington cn the evening of the day succeedin the said election. bnt cn the morning of said day, at which time he met the said Cambron and had a short conversation with liim at or near the corner of Lower Manet acd Scott Streets. Tbe Eaid Cambron, when be met effiant, said: 'Governor, you are not beaten, are you T to which affiant responded tt at he tnppoeed cot, bnt that the returns had been received frcm only a few prec;ncs in tkecocntry, and Etowed that a small vote bad teen polled, and then affiant added that if it should turn out that h was beaten, it was perhaps a very good thing for him. peisonally, as he had neglected bis private business for ten vears and workd fiirh. fully in Congress , and it was aboat timi now he was doing something for himself. Affiant ebjs this is t e Eubstanco of all the conversation that took place between hini and the said Cauibron. At that time affiant did not know and could not possibly know the result of tbe electioE. Affitnt taya that nil statements tu the ei:ect that the returns from any cf the counties in said district were held back or delayed for five or six dajB are untrue. On the contrarv. ha says that the pell books and the ballot boxes were publicly ooened and the vate officially counted and certified on the thud da v after the said election, to-wit? on the 5. belay of November, 18S0', In every county in the district, except that, in tbe county of Trimble, they were opened bv mistake of tbe county officers in the presence of the entire board of can vans on tbe second dav after the election an a officially counted, bnt that said mistake as to tue proper time for tbe official count ss immediately discovered, and there upon they were again sealed up and remained so until tne next day, when they wereae&in opened and counted bv the said beard." ATTORNEY WOOD'S AFFIDAVIT. Mr. Halianj next referred to the sta'ement that Mr. Wood, a leading attorney. bsd been bribed la Mr. Carlisle's interest, and the intimation was that tbe bribery bad been done by oo of Mr. Carlisle's relatives. It hsd also been stated that Wood bad told Tboebe that there was money in the case for both of them if be would con sent to drop the contest. In reply, be read Wood's affidavit. Wood declared that it is not tm that he stated to Tnob that the difficulties in his case were few, nd that it would be comoarativelv put for him to get hia seat in Congress, an 1 that tbe fects developed were sufficient t o oust Carlisle. On tne contrary, he had repeatedly advise! Tboeoe that It wcum te recessary to make diligent exer tion Jn getting evidence and procuring funds, whereas Tboebe furnished but $n. wnicn toe labor unions had supplied. It was for this reason that Mr. Root had refused to continue in tbe case. Affiant pushed tbe case aa rapidly as was possible, taking testimony day and night, by night to save tbe time of laboring men. Thoebi himself was not around In the daytime, because, as be stated, be was unwilling to lote the time from Lis work. The teetirxony taken by the affiant appears In the lercrd, and be took no mora because he W83 not furnished th means to do to. Never protested agalast tte employment ot Bypber as asliftai.t counsel, but refused to sanction his assumption cf the direction 0' the case, and bad finally dropped it after Tfccere executed a power of attorney giyin? absolute control of the case to Sypher. affiant never heard of any county where Ve r.atnre to tbe returns were all in the time handwriting until long alter tbe

taking cf testimony had ceased. Never

told Thccbe that he could maie money by consenting to drop the contest. Had told Lim that a street conversation between two cr three Democrats had been overheard, wherein they had remarked that the easiest way cut of the matter was to buy out the Thccbe faction. It was utterly false that be bad ever eaid anything on the subject beyond a repetition of the gosip, or that ne cad been approached in that behalf. There had been nothirg to hamper Tnoebe In eendiEg his papers to -WTahin2toa at any time upon pajmentof the notary. Mr. Hallam next produce 1 and read let ters eent by Mr. Bypher to Lee Crandill, weo, he said, acted as a go betweaa in the correppcEdence between Wood, Thosba and Evpbcr. In one of his letters Sypher S8j8 that he will remain in the cass bv Woods' consent, but expects to control it when it comes to ashingtcn, adding that the political and diplomatic manage ment cf such cases h8s quite as much to do with Euccesa as legal proceedings, and ia Euca matters ne nas cecided advantages over every lawyer in the district. In another htter Mr. Sypher calls attention to the necessity for providing the ways and means fcr Euch an expensive contest as this egeicst the Speaker, and says that if retained ne mignt enlist rot only the sym t-athy cf bis Renublican friends in the House, but also the aid of some cf bis pro tectionist iriends. Later on ilr. Bypher speaks of Wrood's feebleness and ignorance as sure cf defeat, is rejoiced to see that they (the contestant's friends) have begun to realize tbe necessity of employing brains and mcEey, and says that be writ?i "to prevent ycur going to the Cipttol and askirg the chairman cf the Lvectioas Cqjimittee Fome damn fool question." 1- TT.U . I 1 iir. xiauam im n ciosea nis cace ia a brief address. Mr. Sypher reiterated tbe stiteiii?nt made by fcim that tbe returns of th oatlying districts ted tefn wi hbeld, aid cemmented cn the fact that CarlidU'i counsel bad net brought forward tba telegrams sent to those dittricts. Mr. Heard snpested tint i ni duty ol the contestant to bring in the te'egranip, the contestant ba ving tha affirmative of the proposition. Mr. Sypher replied that if tho case were reopened he would do so. "Mr. Cirliale owed it to the cemmittee to demand an investigation and he (Sypher) was aniezsd that be was not here to relieve the committee from its predicament." IN SECRET SESSION. The committee then went Into tscret sisbSoe. TLe Lrst motion pnt was one to postpore the farther consideration of the case, which was rejected by a strict party vo. 9 to 0. Then a motion was made to reopen the case. Mr. Howell (Republican) asked to ne excused from votirg, and Mr. Cooper (Republican) voted with the Democrats, so tae motion was 1cb. Another motion was made todeclara Tfcoese entitled to his sear, and on this vote lour Rpublican members were excused from votiDg, the rfmainder voting with the Democrats egainst the proposition. Tuen ccme tt final vote on the motion sffirming Sir. Carlisle's rieht to his feat. All of tbe Democrat votsd in favcr of this proposition, and wita theai 8'cod Messrs. Cooper. Rowell and Johnson, cf Indians, making the affirmative vote 12 Messrs. Lyman, Houk and Lolge, Republicans, were excused, eo.there'was no neetive votd " Th position ttken by the Republicans who attained ficm voting is that while tbey are not convinced that 2Jr. Carlisle is not entitled to his seat, it is proper fcr the committee to ifopfn the as end afford an opportunity for the production of any new evidence tbot miebt throw Ughtnpoa the content. Under the instructions of the committee, Cha'rmen Crisp will report to the House a resolution declaring Mr. Carlisle entitled to his Beat. LOUISIANA DEMOCRATS.

The fifth pledges the party to "develop, maintain and protect the same to tte fnllet extent consistent with the bnancesof the State;" to "an earnest eßort to place the free public schools of tbe State upon a substantial and satisfactory bais," and calls on the Legislature to mike sufficient appropriation "to provide for the suitable education cf the children of ibis State." The sixth declares in favor of legislation in the interest of agriculture, especially by encouragement of the agricultural college and State experimental station. Tne Feventh opposes the bringing of convict labor Into competition wltti free Ubor.

The convention also pasted a resolution of sympathy In the struggle of Irish home rule. One way to Set Broken Klbs. Buffalo Ntws. A young woman physician who practices in Enslewood tells cf a queer case In surgery which she heard of a few weeks ago, or rather a case of most unusual surgical treatment for a common injury. A young man had suffered a fall from the cars, and on examination It was found that two of hia ribs bad been broken. The doctor who was called to tbe case a man doctor, by the way told the patient's mother to make a big bowl of mush and milk, and to coax the wounded man to eat a much of it ai be rould possibly held. This was done, and then the doctor told the wondering mother to bring him one of her old corsets, the largest ODe she had. The good woman bluhtingly obeyed, and stood by with bulging eyes and watched the doctor put tbe corset on nis patient end draw the strings comfortably tight. "Keep the boy filled with mush and milk all night, if possible," was tbe doctor's injanction, as be packed up hia traps to go away; "and be tnre that the corset stricte doa't get any looser than they are now. I'll come again in tbe morning." The next day the ingeticu medical man declared that the broken ribs would Boon be knitted well to gtber sgafn, and that they were growing as Dice and straight aa yon please. "The muih and milk on the ins'deanl tbe corset on the outside ia what did the bnslnt es," be said. ,

THE KNOCK ALPHABET.

A Means of Intercommunication He twecn Russian Prisoners. Gecrge Kennan, in Century Magazine. The talented Russian novelist who has been twice exiled to Siberia and half a dozen times imprisoned, told me last summer that when he was arrested f jr the first time he had never even beard cf the 'knock alphabet,' and that when, during the second day of his imprisonmsnt, he noticed a faint t3ppirz on the other sM cf the wall, be regarded it nitrely as aa iadilauuu iiak mo BUJ JllUiJg Ceil Wis OCCUpied, and gave it no particular attention. as tne Knocking continued, howev-sr, and as the faint taps seemed to be de5alte.lv segregated into groups by brief intervals of silence, he became convinced that hia unknown neighbor was endeavoring to communicate with him. . Unon what principle or plan tbe knocks were grouped ne uia not Know, dui ne coujec:urei tlat the cumber of taps betwe-ea twj 'rests' might correspond with the serial number 01 a letter in the alphabet, one knock etending for 'a,' two for ,b,' three for 'c' and so on up to 2G for 'z.' Upon putting mis conjecture to the test he was deüzhted to tind that the knocks resolve! them selves into the letters 'DoyouundorA ) nt w-r . a- . , m si an or tie repnea witn urty-nine 1 1 . .

When seven of tb.es-? invisible lines bad been drawn undtr oie another about a foot anart. witharmn of knocks at tbe begining cf eash oae to ceDote its number, the unseen triiv. went back to one knock, and proceeded to draw six perpendicular lines crossing the first series Rt right aDgles, so as to maka a bu;a andible checker-board, as soon as Mr. X beard thLa invisible diagram, t'.ie parpose for which It was iatenied dished upon his mind, and before the unknown instructor had finished knocking out tbe wcrds, 'Put alpbabei in sqnare3,' tse quickwitted pupil bad scratched nnoa tb.4 doir ot bis cell a reduced copy of tne audible traciD?, and was nunibaria Its linss and columns.
