THE TELLER CO IT!EE. seus sLb eslMrea see.e Dmay. The Teller committee reas.embled at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and resmed their tvestlgation. a. D. x'GILL, who was on the stand whme the committee adjourned the preceding day, was recalled, and resumed his testimony, as fol.ows: I was told that Bland might be blected, but would never fill the office. Militia came in from the surrounding parlshes.I I believe they were htate militia. Col. Floyd King told me they were his men. CoL King was a candidate for Congress. There wg~ a Bepub lean ticket in his district. Madison parish, adjoining Tensas, went Republican by alarge majority. The negroes were armed, and there were wild rumors of women and children belng murdered by them. The negroes at first were offensive, but after the deaionstration they were badly scared, and maay of them went to the woods, butthey return in two or three days and went quietly to work. After this I think our friends went beyond the lbounds of justice and undertook so do some bulldoxtag. They tried to bulldoze gentle men. There was anticipation of trouble between the two factions. I saw Col. King on the road with a number of men add he was slknr them a speech. I only heard his last a iK; it was, "The white man must rule." d told me that he was only out in the inter 6t of peace and that he was g6ing to St. o h, and d been told that it was not ale im to go alone. The trouble at this time was eitirely be tween the whites. The colored pjople were in it at all. Both sides did a great many which were wrong. Kig-to.D sma one of the opposition le that .e vins not acting as a politilcan, but entiry in a fcidal capsacty, and promis that he Snot take sides in the parlsh.didlff . r. Douglass told me afterwards :that Kng had given up his command and that his ano ola.ar had ordered the troops oet of the . Douglass and Bland were sesasdof .bedn g the negroes together, and they tried to hh a card in theonly paper in the par. 00 sthae tiled to personal salmoelt ee elsld dllloities. lag and Bland then determined to Smeeting to set themselves right, but wse kept out of tows by the quaran Afterds they called one for the "'W theraby place, and I understood that it pi d to break it up. I was advised sit to go but I went, and called up some of the lading colored men who wre at the meetin, and advised them to o hisme quiet ly; that I was afraid that if they did not there would be bloodshed. Somo of them wrelt, but others urged by Bland, remained I w.mnt on my wly home and met thebuggy b lade; turned back and followed them; there were about twenty-fve, armed with rifes. They were acting ass poss:eomflates for the sheriff. They were gongtoarresta egqro, Wash. Williams, who was at the meeting. They made no arret, but after tlngthe meeng returned. Tbeý were in .sonmmnd of Deputy Sheriff Kinney, Witness then corroborated the testLmony of his son, J. P. McGill, as to what ooqurred the might preceding the day of election. RnOS-rlAMfIN D. By Mr. Garland-Register, the candidate Ior sheriff on the regular Democrailc ticket, aed sides too quick for me. :e was a ep+ibllcan only the year before. M,. Kinney. who had charge of the "buggy brligde," was ces connected with the Federal aroy. I had always previous to the last election looked pn him as a Republican. He wassapervisor Selection under Kellogg. That is why I thought he was a Republcnan; because no one btut Republican could get ffioe under Kel lg. Iknow nothing. ersonally about the FiaxrFl troubles, and do not beieve all Ii heard about it, and I do not care about re m had no trouble with the buggy brigade; we just had a jollytime. There was no trouble 1 mn election day. I want to say, gentlemen, that, far from volunteering tetimony, I was "very loth to come here, and the District At torney has a letter from me begging him to let me off fibm attendanoe; a"dl. would be -vy much grieved, indeed, if anythig I have -id should get any of my friends into trouble; and, gentlemen, if you can do anthing o wads making us fmends and patting a stop toour troubles, you will receive the blessings sad prayers of the women and children, at FLIXMINO BRANCH (ooriosn). FL.MING BRANCH (0o0osoa). Beside in the parish of Teasue. Bave here 'tfore affiliated with the Republican party. Xnow Fairfax. He resides about fourteen and a hall miles from St. Joseph. He is a preacher and a leader of colored men in the alirs of the world, telling them what they should do in politics. I was at his house on * the twelfth of October, when the trouble oc Soufrred. Fairfax was a candidate for Congress. Between 8 and 9 o'clock on the night of the tenth, Mrs. Ladd saw men comin over the ie.ee and called Fairfax's attentý tothem, -and by the time he got to the door they were at the step. They came in, and eeing Fair tax standing at the kitchen door the leader, whoqp they called Cant. Peck, said, "Here he Is," and commenced firing at him. They ipssed meby, and I was afraid thatthey would come at me next, and I rolled under *the bed. They did not get Fairfax, but there was .znother colored man whom they shot, and when he was down they fired six ehots into him. One man said maybe Fairfax is under -the bed, and I shouted: No boss, it salt Fait tax. it's me!' and I crawled out. Mr. Kemp .got hold of me, but after a scuffle I got away and turned a corner, and the Mrat man I saw was Mr. Goldman, and he fired at me and hit me here (witness displayed his arm.) That was the only time I was hit, but a: ball went Into my vest pocket and destroyed $40 in mo.es. A lot of bullets went through my -clothes. I recognized Tom Vernon before I from under the bed. They fired there did not hit me; the ball only went h my pants. Fairfax got away. They say why they came. No shots were from the house. There were: fourteen or men in the crowd. It was a moonlight ght and the house was all lit ui. CROSS-EXAMINiD. To Mr. Garland-I did not see Capt. Peck shot. He was shot after I left the house. I thik it was byoneof his own party; I could see erythin from my place under the bed. It was abright moonlght night. Revolvers and shotguns and sixteen shooters were used by the white men to do the shooting. I was in the room when I was shot. It was a square room with one bed in it. Capt. Peek did not follow Fairfax from the house after firing at him. There had never been any difficulty be tween me and Capt. Peck. I should know him well, because my mother nursed him. To Mr. Bailey--When Capt. Peck and the others came into the house parties on therout side were firing in; and while they were in there their friends on the outside were firing into the room through the door. There was a light in the room, a bright light. DANIEL KENNEDY (OOLOBZD). Amna resident of Tensas parish. Know Fair fax. Was at his house when the difficulty took place. Was passing Fairfax's dace and he called me and said: "David I have been told that there is a company of men coming here to-night, and for fear that they will, I would like some one to stay with me." I stayed with him awhile, and then went off and met a young colored man, who told me that as he was passing the quarantine at Waterproof he heard the guard there told that a company of men would pass through and to let them go and not challenge them. I went back and told Fairfax that he had better look out for himself, that the men were surely coming. We were sittinudown talking about It when Mrs. Fairfax said they were coming, and by the time we could get to the door they were there. One of them asked for Fairfax, and seeing him standing at the kitchen door tired at him. 'I saw the man who fired, but do not know him. When I saw the man fire I went to the window and was shot in the arm from theout side. I ran out of the house and got away. h ee were, as far as I know, twenty-five Col loen killed in the parish.

I Ilived d, with Fairfax and was at his house in October last. Testified in substance the same as pre ceding .witaes about the men coming to the tou s and firing atFairfax as he was stand In ing in the kitchen door. Witness, imme , dately after the shooting, went to a neigh bor's house and saw nothi¶ further of what . transpl; but recognized r. Goldman in e atý party after It had left and was b passing down theroad. Heard afterwards of h, some of Register's men attacking colored people. Knew a number of the colored men Swho were killed in the parish. It was said they were killed by bulldozers. Saw the body r of a colored man named Charlie Bethel who was killed. He was shot and his throat was cut. n COIBOBEXAMINED. SBy Mr. Garland-I only saw one shot fired )r at Fairfax. Saw but one of the colored men r whom the bulldozers killed; it was Charley ie Bethel. Never saw any colored man killed. ie Register, whose men I have spoken of, was e- the sheriff. I got to this town the day before le election. s BEOA ROSS3 (CoLwOED) 5 was the next witness.

Left when the r- men cam, but from a neighbor's house saw t them pass down the road after the difficulty !e and reogPlsed Mr.Goldman among the num ber. Testiied generally as to reports of col ored men be killed and about armed white men riding through the parish; said It was a y bright moonlight night. bright moonlight night. - ~ ARNTHU PAErPAX (oLORED). Am a brother of Alfred Fairfax. I was at his hlsouseonthe night of the attack. I lived wit my brother at the time. Witness told the regulation tale about the arrival of the white men, about the shooting at his brother, and about his brother getting Saway. He got out of the house immediately after his brother left. Stated positively that there was no moon. (The other witnesses, it will be remembered, testified that there was a briht moon) Witness remained in the pash two or three weeks lfter the diffoulty In concealment, and then came to the city. Saw armed men riding through the paish; saw one squad. On cross-examination he stated that he recognized Mr. Goldman in the attacking prty, and that he did not know Capt. Peck. Sthe padsh and came to this city before the election. MRS. ANNIE LADD. Is a native and resident of this city, but was visiting at Falrfax's house in October, and was there on the night of the twelfth. Knew nothing about what transpired after Fairfax was fired at, just previous to his escape by way of the hen door, she hav ing left the house. Saw one body of armed men two or three days after the affair. COL. GEOBse BAaToxN. I have resided in Tenses parish ten years. I have always been a Democrat, and one time ran on the Democratio ticket for the Senate. I took no active part in the last campaign. I was sick. My place was visited by a body of armed men. They asked for water; asked the news, and ted to know If I had any arms. I had_ trouble with them. They were very p nt. Another squad passed through my place. These were the only two bodies of armed men that I saw. I never heard any threats made against me or any other parties. We (the Independents) considered ourselves the pure Democracy; the others were mixed. I never thought Fairfax a very bad man; but I was toldthat he was one of the parties who had drawn the color line. To Mr. Kirkwood-I understood the bodies of men I saw were regular militia. I do not know whether or not they were organized under the State laws, but I understood that they were militia I do not suppose that there are ten men in any part of the parish who have not an arm of some kind. The effect of the trouble in the parish has been very serious, and injures our material interests. onoes-%xAMID. To Mr. Garland-Alfred Fairfax came to me and wanted me to run for parish judge or the Senate, promlein to support me. There was no question sa to which was the eimon pure Democrateic ticket; the other was mixed. The cddidate for the Legislature (Cordill) and the one for sheriff were Republicans. Our ticket was straightout Democratic. To. Mr. Balley-Gillespie. who was a can didate on the opposition ticket, was a Re ublican. He was elected clerk once by the ubllcans. To Mr. Teller-I do not think the voters were allowed to use any discretion as to their votes. I don't think they ever had any at former elections; when they had Republican clubs, they were compelled to vote the Re- 4 publican ticket. I think that the colored men at the last election were thoroughly frightened. The Independent ticket was taken away from them at the polls, and the other forced on them, and they were com pelled to vote it. To Mr. Kirkwood-We had no carpet-bag gers or colored men on our ticket. To Mr. Teller-I think there is a great change among the colored men, and that there are a good many, a large number, of them Democrats. I think they realize and believe that the white people of the State the old residents, are better friends to them than the carpet-baggers. I am not considered a car pet-bagger. My friends and all my relatives are here. The mere fact of a man being born in Pennsylvania, as I was, does not make a man a carpet-bagger. You do not underetand what we term carpet-bagger. It is a man who could not live in the North and who came down here, like a vampire to live on the money of the people and the State, a man who oomes here simply to run for office. To Mr. Cameron-We treat carpet-baggers much better than we treat native Southerners who have joined the Republicans, that is, po litically. To Mr .Klrkwood-We call them scallawags. To Mr. Bailey-We have no objection to a Northern man either as a Democrat or a Re publican, coming to the South, and living here like other citizens. What we mean by carpet-baggers is a man who has no com munity interests, no property, but is simply a politician and office-seeker. To Mr. Teller-The fact of the matter re garding scallawags is, that we have had our nose to the grindstone so long and have been so oppressed and robbed, that we consider a man who goes over to the Republicans as re sponsible for it, as we attribute all our trou bles to the Republican party. They have swindled us out of millions. E. C. RUTH (COLOBED). Was bred and born in Tensas parish. Have been heretofore a Republican. In the last campaign I supported the Bland ticket, known as the Independent ticket. At the time I was justice of the peace. I canvassed for the Bland ticket. On the eighteenth of October e saw a body of armed men,under com mand of C.S. Kinney, deputy sheriff, and Capt. McCann; on the nineteenth. I saw another company, with Col. Floyd King. The com pany which came on the eighteenth camped all night at New Town, and then went to Newell bridge, and there they shot and killed a young colored man because he ran. On the eighteenth, a man named Bull clubbed his gun and knocked down a colored man named Perry Johnson. Bull was one of Kinney's men. Kinney picked up Johnson and told him to go home or he would be killed, or he (Mr. Kinney) would put him in jail. I never saw any more assaults on colored men. Witness corroborated the testimony of the p recdin witnees about the meeting at Wetherby'e and the arrival of the posse under command of Mr. Kinney to arrest the colored man who was supposed to be at the meeting. I never heard oany trouble in the prish previous to the attack on Fairfax's house. Jome flfteen or twenty armed colored men came to New Town .before Mr. Klnney's squad came there. They said they had come to proteet me. I toe them I needed no rote tion, and l they didn'g o me weold lasae a warrant for their Igave thema Dint of whisky they went e They were armed i ld& sbeQg-old guga..andcIda't had tor m ethe tm h g the ouon* d comrttee took a reoe of an hour. At 8 o'clock the committee a d Rth wa recalled for cross-examination To fStetr Cameroan know a colored man named ekaos who was formerly a Bepubit can. Jackson was compelled to slgnthe roll d of a Democratic club while under guard of r two men, who released him as soon as his name was placed on the roll. There were a number of other colored men who were forced to sign at the same time. Certificates of pro Stection were issued to them alL The certifl cate read that so and so has joined the Day light Club and Moonlight Meeting. The white people came to me when the armed col ored men were near New Town for protection. CROSS EXAMINED. a To Mr. Garland-I never issued any war d rants during the trouble. The fact is that the y white people did not recognize me as a magis o trate until the colored men came to town, and s then they came to me for protection. There were only seven or eight guns in the hands of the colored men; vet the white people in the town were afraid of them. There were at least twenty-five white men in the town. WASHINGTON MELLUMS (OOLORED), told a lengthy story about a political differ ence between himself and other colored men in Tensas parish, in which he lived, and re peated the story told by several preceding witnesses, about the proposition of compro Smise and combination made by the Republi can convention of the parish, and rejected by the Democratic convention. Witness saw no violence, as he was fright ened by the report that he was to be killed for raising an armed mob of colored men that he went into concealment in the roof of Doc Weatherby's house and in Mr. Douglass' house. Afterwards got over his scare and went to St. Joseph, and was told by a white man that the white people owned the State, and that he (the white man) held witness' life in his hands, and advised witness not tomake a speech at the 'roposed meeting at Weath erby's, as, if he tried it, he would get killed. Testified at length to excitement and fright among the blacks after the Fairfax affair. among the blacks after the Fairfax affair. D. C. SMITH (COLORED). Live in Tensas parish. iupported the Bland ticket. Witness then repeated the old narra tive of proceedings attendant on the holding of the Republican convention and Bland andh Douglas meetings, and also repeated all the rumor and reports about the killing of ne He improved on the modes of death shooting and braining,) and said that Mr. WNu aellvalle. of Conoordia parish, told him that a party of men had taken Com modore Sewell out into the lake in a skiff, and after compelling him to "preach his own fu neral sermon," had tied a weight to his neck and thrown him overboard, and he was drowned. After the Fairfax trouble, witness said he met Fairfax, with about five hundred colored men, coming to the convention. BOBRBT .. WALKER (COLORED). Resident of Tensas parish, and supported the Bland ticket. Witness after he had told all he knew about the political movement in the parish, was shown a paper containing a card from him advising the colored people to support the Demooraic-Conservative ticket (the one in opposition to the Bland ticket), and he was asked to explain the circumstances under which it was written. After a weari some relation of matters and circumstances having no connection with the publication, and of no interest to the committee or any one else, he said that he had written it because he had heard that his place had been visited by Mr. Buckner and others, who said that they understood he was leading the opposition to their ticket. and he was afraid that his fate would be that of Fairfax. At the same time he had grown lukewarm to wards the Bland ticket, because the name of Fairfax, for Congress, had been taken off and the name of Gen. Young substituted. He had always lived on friendly terms with the white people and did not desire a difficulty. WM. ANDEBSON, (colored), was sworn and kept the committee in a good humor for fifteen minutes by a nar ration which had no connection whatever with the subject under investigation. He was al lowed to go on for some time to enable him, as he said, "to get the point," which was that he had seen armed men in the parish. Nothing new or of interest in regard to affairs in the parish (Tensas) was elicited. The committee adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. wsATmER UILLAEIuN. Was DaAartmT, 1 Signal Service.
