'Under, the YeneUaju the island had at one time a population ef sfWO.etO, and attained great splendor and prosperity, but has greatly de alined under the Turks, though of late years Km prosperity has somewhat increased. It has great natural resources, and If these were developed by an enterprising people, t might regain much ot its old-time fame. Its importance to England, as a military! base of operations, both for enforcing the operation- of the treaty ami for guarding her Indian possessions, Is almost Incaleulabis. A telegram frem Sidney, New South Wales, dated July 11, says that two tribes of natives have risen against the Government ! in the island of New Caledonia, and ma-sa-1 ered 13a whites, including women and children. They have also captured two military stations. The threatened disturbances at Montreal, 1 Canada, on account of the proposed Orange 1 parade on the 13th, were probably averted by the strong stand taken by the Mayor in forbidding the procession, backed up by a arge force of special policemen and militia from various parts of the Dominion. The Orangemen finally consented to abandon their parade In the Interest of the public peace, the Mayor assuring them protection to their homes. Several of the leaders were arrested upon warrants charging thorn with contemplated breach of the peace, and were subsequently released on bail. The Orangemen and their friends complain bitterly of the action of the authorities in refusing to grant them permission and protection for their parade.

Kellogg, of Louisiana, was examined before the Potter Committee on the 1 1 tli. In answer to inquiries propounded by Gen. Butler, be expressed his opinion that Packard was legally elected Governor, toS ether with a majority of Republican memera in both houses of the legislature. On the face of the retums the Democrats had a majority, but the Returning Hoard threw out enough parishes, on account of alleged Intimidation, to change the result in favor of the Republicans. (Jen. Ilutler produced tables complied from Returning Hoard figures, which showed that, after the Hoard had thrown out sufficient Democratic parishes to elect the General Assembly, it was iound there were still two Hayes Kiectors defeated, whereu)on the Returning Hoard threw out parishes and precints until they had sueceded In securing a majority of Hayes Electors. Witness stated, assuming the figures to be correct, the lindlng of the Returning Board left the General Assembly Republl can In both branches, and still lelttwo Hayes Electors in the minority, while Packard's majority for Governor was tel. Gen. Butler questioned witness regarding the ap S ointment by President Hayes of King as ollector, and asked him if he did not think the President's motive In doing so was to break up the quorum of the Supreme Court, of which King was a member. In order that Packard could not oarry his oase before it. Witness admitted the effect of King's appointment, but was unable to determine by what motive the President was actuated. The examination of ex-Oov. Kellogg was further continued on the 13th. He considered Packard elected as fairly as the Hayes Electors, so far as Louisiana was concerned. Gen. Grant had telegraphed the witness a day or two before he went out of office, stating that he had hesitated recognizing Gov. Packard in consequence of there having been a commission appointed to Investigate tnn result of the Louisiana election (referring to MeVelgh's Commission). The witness heard last fall that the Sherman letter had been found among Weber's papers, and that Mrs. Jenks had procured possession of It through her Intimacy with the Weber family. Mrs. Jenks had called on him In Xew Orleans and spoken of the Sherman letter. While explaining the contents ot the document Mrs. Jenks sat on a sofa and pretended to be reading him the substance of the letter from a paper she held In Iter hand. Iteing very busy, and not caring to be connected with the affair, he advised Mrs. Jenks to call upon Mr. Packard, which he believed she did, but he was unable to relate what occurred further than that Packard had said he did not attach any importance to her conversation. The witness, being questioned by Mr. Hiscock, stated that the testimony of EX. Weber, with one or two exceptions, in so far as it relates to him (Kellogg), was entirely without foundatton. Ho had never been Informed by Weber and Anderson that tho elections in their parishes were peaceable, and that they could not make protests on that account. Two letters from l. A. Weber to Gov. Kellogg were introduced, In which the writer says that the colored voters In the country are prevented by pickets from reaching town, and that an attempt has been made to assassinate him (Weber). Q. Do you know of any oase where there was a false, forged or unfair protest, or any other unfair election paper, that was Used before the Returning Hoard of 1HW? A. 1 do not. Q.f Is there any lette which was written by yon In regard to the canvass or action of the Returning Board that yon do not wish made public? A. No, sir; oh the contrary, If any one has any letters written by me bearing On the election. I hope they will not delay In publishing the same, The sooner the imtter. The examination ef ex-Gov. Kellogg was farther eontinHed on the lth. He had no knowledge ot tntlmkat1on in the FeMeiana parishes) other than what ha had heard frem various searees; Mrs. Jenks did not visit

He refused to reply to ttituuesMon, whether or not, as Governor, he had any knowledge that no protests had been made from Kast or West Feliciana, other than to say that the record would show, tien. Hut lor asked witness if It was a fact that alt the members nl the visiting Commission, with one exception, all the members of t)u KttturninK Board, all the jtupervlsur (except Weber, who was killed), and Mr. and Mrs. Jenku had. beon rewarded with Federal ntHooii fiw tluklr luirt III tlitt litlm Or other eanees. WitHCM replied that, with the ex eeptton of James .E Anderson, he believed f alt the parties destKiuttod bad been appointed to omoe; that lie believed them to be conipetent roersoiu anu koou KepuimoatiH, anu there were still others who ought to heap pointed. .....The Committee adjourned until the 3d of July, to meet at Atlantic City, X.

Hiram Smedley testified: Ueing shown by Mr. Cox the Anderson-Weber agreement, lie said, "1 saw the name of D. A. Weber signed to that paper by J. W. Jones, Notary Public, tn the back room of my coffee-house on Kxehange Alley. Jones spent most of his time about my place." K. L. Weber was examined by Mr. Cox at to his testimony, given In Jaekson, Miss., in 180, before the houtwell Committee. Mr. Cox read from .the report of that committee the questions propounded and answers given by Weler at that time, asking the witness whether they were severalty true or false. The witness said the statements then made were not wilfully false, but from hearse.' and Imagination ; Ids intention was to tell the truth ; thinks tn most cases he told the committee the truth as understood by him at the time, but he knows now that those statements were false. Was never warned away from the parish; had no information that would justify him in making: such statement. In answer to a question ot Mr. Cox as to the Sherman letter, the witness said he found It in a box sent from bis brother's, at ltayou Sara, to his father-in-law's warehouse. In DonaldHonvtlle; found tho letter after Mrs. Jenks's visit; showed it to no one; tore it up at once, because it exposed his brother's wrong-doing; his brother told him there were no grounds for protesting the parish.

The witness isnld 19 Senators were Interested In the JWO.0W scheme, and 1'ackard promised the bill, when passed, should lweome a law. The witness stated that he was a member of an association in the Senate In 1S75-6, which included Gov. Antolne, T. O. Anderson, Twltchell, Rureh and others, for corrupt purposes. There were 19 of them. They received 9M,Gos for passing the Levee bill, and J), (W0 for passing the tate-house bill. Each member of the association received $t,eeo of the money. Twltchell was President and T. C. Anderson Treasurer of the association. Additional evidence taken before the subcommittee up to the lSHhi Isaac W. Patton, Chairman ef the Democratic State Committee in 187, testified that he saw Anderson about October. Anderson proposed that If the Democrats would support Nash for Congress he would Kive them two members of the General Assembly, and 109 to l.MW Democratic majority in Kast Feliciana Parish. The witness could not entertain the proposition but telegraphed for McCabe, in Feliciana. He came down and talked with Anderson about his treatment of the people. Anderson Anally agreed to go back If they would cash his scrip. Patton finally agreed with McCabe to pay JIJO of the amount. The witness gave Jenks $60. Jenks said he would not take it as a bribe, but would as a loan... . A. J.

Minseari Demecratle Platform. Following Is the platform adopted by the Missouri Democratic State Convention, held at Jefferson City on July 10: The Democratic party of Missouri, in con vention assembled, declares Its confidence In and unshaken adherence to the great principle of Democratic representative government, its devotion to the National Union and Constitution with the amendments thereto, its unswerving maintenance of the following principles, viz.: A strict subordination of thu military to the civil power; opposition to large standing armies tn time of peace; purity of elections and their nbsolute freedom from all interference by the officers of the Federal Goveminent, civil or military? profound respect for the popular will, fairly and legally expressed at the ballot. Ihix; a n.ted purpose to expose and punish all political frauds and corruption; the political equality of all citizens: the largest right of individual liberty consistent with the rights of others; universal education, and a general and active participation ot the body of the people in public affairs. Vfsssfm, That we congratulate the country on the fact that after nearly thirteen years from the cessation of hontllitle, a state of peace in accordance with the Constitution and laws has been reached iu our Southern States. , S. Wo solemnly arraign and condemn the high Klectoral Commission as faitnlss to the people of the United States in refusing to Investigate and expose the wicked and glaring frauds by which the will of the people at the last Presidential election was defeated; Ite rehisal to do so was in violation of the spirit ot the law under which it was organised; and while the decision made by the Forty-fourth Congress of the question ae to who anoHht be declared President of the United Itate, for the Presidential term, was In oar Judgment final, that decision ought

not to preclude a full Investigation and posure of all frauds counseled with t hat ttec. tee.!r art heartily' mHamend the action oi a majority o! the House of RepreseatattviM tn pursuinj such Investigation. .1.

That a return to specie payments is impossible in the present financial condition t the country, and we demand the Immediate and unconditional repeal of the act ot January It, 1876. known km the Resumption tut, holding the same to be unwise and ruinous to the interests of the people. 5. The policy Inaugurated and maintained by thu Republican party of contracting tho active circulating medium of tho country, constituting as all admit it does the standard of value of the property and products hi tho country, and regulating as well the piicu paid for all labor, stands preeminent in the long list ot its oppressive measures as the most stupid, Inexcusable and oppressive of them all. 6. Being opposed to all monopolies and all laws discriminating In favor of one class of our people at the expense of and to the prejudice of all others ,we declare our un. qualified hostility to all protective t artHs, and demand that there shall be a tariff for revenue only. 7. The Democracy tenders to the debtor and laboring classes ot the country Its earn est sympathy, and pledges Itself at the earn est moment to reverse tho cruel and destructive policy of the Republican party which has brought ruin upon them. 8. We demand that all legislation shall be so enacted and administered as to secure to each man as nearly as practicable tUe jubt reward of his own labor. 9. That in view of the large appropriations that have been made by thu Federal Government for works of public improvement on the seaboards and thu lakes, justice to the people of the Mississippi Valley demands that appropriations shall be made for tho tm provement of the Mississippi River and it tributaries commensurate with tho coniim r clal wants and interests of the section of the. country, and, believing in the constitutional power of the Government to aid In the construction of national entcrprlses.which serve to uenent targe sections oi tne country, ami which can not be accomplished by Individual enterprise or State action, we favor such legislation In this behalf as will not increase tho national Indebtedness or iinpopo any additional burdens upon the people. Pitch a policy, In our oplnlon.whilst It would cheap, en the cost of transportation and add to our agricultural wealth, would afford remunerative employment to the surplus labor of the country. 1A.

That reform must be made in National, State and Municipal governments by the reduction of expenditures and taxes the. dUmtesal of unnecessary and incompetent officers and employees, and tho strict tn foreement of official responsibility. . In the language of the Indiana Democracy, we declare that the Juridlctlon claimed ana exercised by the Circuit Courts ot the United (states upon questions of private end Individual rights arising under the laws of the States tendsto oppress and burden litigants to such an extent ae to amount to a practical denial of Justice In many casos.and we conshi er the legislation which has conferred Men Jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of the people, and we demand such legislation ae will restrict and limit tho Juri--diction of such courts to Biich matters as are clearly contemplated by the Constitution and expressed in the Judiciary act of 17. 13. We favor and invite Immigration to our State from all sections of the country.
