He Manifests Considerable Courage bnt Says Jfot a Word on the Scaffold Full Particulars of the Mar- der, and Brief Sketch of the Murderer 8clal to tbe Appeal. YicKSBcno, June 7. William Mohan, alias Dixon, was Danced in the jail-yard here to-uay, tor the murder ot a Jew peddler on board the steamer Fair Play, of which a full account is appended. At eleven o'clock in the forenoon Wroc. crowds began to assemble n the vicinity of iQBjan. onerin r lanajran could not accom modate one-twentieth pait of the number who applied to him for passes to witness the execution, wnes it was known that only a tew perenrii would be admitted into the jail J'rd, ladders were brought into use and placed against tbe walls ot the jail, which were packed on three sides with A VtAS8 OK CUUIOI S HUMANITY Many tall houses whencea view into the jail yard could be obtained were covered with people. Your correspondent called at the jail at eleven o'clock in the moraine, but could not obtain a last interview with the condemned man, owing to the presence of the Sisters of Merry, who remained with him duriug the entire day, exhorting with and preparing him for his final end. Three o'( Lc'i in the afternoon was the hour set for the execution. At fifty minutes after two o'clock, when your correspondent entered the jail-yard, about three hundred persons were collected around the scatfold. The masses thronging the jail-walls and other coigns of vantage were about six hundred in number. MANY EXTRES8IONS OF SYMPATHY for the unfortunate man were beard in the crowd. At one minute past three o'clock Dixon came out of the jail, accompanied by the sheriff and Rev. lather M'Manus, his spiritual adviser. He was dressed neatly, carried his head erect, and mounted the scat fold with a firm step, smoking a cigarette all the while. When he reached the platform be stood up between the priest and the sher iff', and threw his eyes unshrinkingly over the sea of heads before him. Sheriff' Flanagan, uncovering his head, then spoke in a clear yet agitated voice, as follows: Gentlkmen You no doubt understand and appreciate tbe dreadful duty the respon sibility of my office, and the oath I have taken, compels me to perform. Let no levity, let no disturbance mar the awful majesty and solemnity of this sad occasion. When he had coccluded, Dixon knelt down with Father M'Manus and PRAYED FEBVENTLY for about five minutes. The priest then gave birn absolution, and he rose up and kissed the loop that dangled from the beam above his head. When the noose was placed around his neck a sudden pallor overspread bis face for an instant, but it was unaccom panied by any other symptom of weakness. He shook hands with tbe sheriff, with his confc ssor, and with Dr. Biritbett, who were standing on the platform. The cap waathen placed over his eyes, and UK WAS NOTICED TO SHED TEARS. The sheriff turned the crank, the heavy weight fell, and Dixon was jerked three feet clear of the platform. About eighteen seconds elapsed, and then tbe body began to gto through violent muscular contortions for about three minutes. Many were under the impression that death was caused by stran gling, but an examination of the body showed that THE NECK WAS BROKEN. After hanging thirty minutes three doctors pronounced Dixon dead, and tbe body was taken down, placed in a coffin, and handed over to the Sisters ot Mercy for interment. Dixon died penitent, but said not a word on the scuffold. Particulars) of the Harder. Bachman, th murdered man, was a Jew peddler, about fifty years of age, very quiet, peaceable and innoffensive in manners, lie had been engaged for some time previous to his death in plying his avocation in the Deer creek country and at the various landings on sucnower river, maKing occasional trips to Vicksburg on the packets to replenish his stock of merchandise, notions, etc , in which he trafficked. On Thursday night preceding the murder Bachman went aboard the steam er Fair Play at Rolling Fork landing, about one hundred and twenty miles below Vicks- buri?, engaging deck passage. He had been on tbe boat but a few minutes when he en gaged in A GAME OF CARDS with Dixon. When a few games had been Blayed, one of the deckhands approached ixon and informed him tbat the mate wanted him Dixon J up stairs. After Dixon left to obey the mate's summons, Bachman went back to get something out of his pack, which bad been deposited in tbe engine- room, but found that it had been rifled of its contents, and when he met Dixon afterward be accused him of the theft and an alterca tion between the two men resulted, but the second-engineer interfered and prevented serious consequences, finally succeeding in re conciling the belligerents. On the following night Dixon met iiachman at a house ot ill fame in Vicksburg, RAISED A ROW WITH IIIM, and finally drove him from the house. Bach man went into an adjoining house. Dixon went up town and got a deckhand to return with him to tbe house in which Bachman had taken refuge, with a view of drawing him out a second time. On arriving at the house and seeking admittance, they discov ered tbat Bachman had anticipated the sec ond visit, and securely locked the door. Af ter various attempts to get Bachman to come out, Dixob and his pal went away, giving up the chase lor that nigbt. On tbe following day Dixon met Bachman on the levee, when tbe latter told Dixon he was going out on the boat, to which Dixon responded that if he did HE WOILD Kill UIM. It was developed in the evidence that when the boat was under way one of the deckhands awoke Dixon to inform him that Bachman was aboard,. the deckhand stating that he did s) that he might witness a good fist fight, having no idea that Dixou con templated murdering Bachman. As soon as Dixon learned of the presence of Bachman he sprang from his hammock, picked up an ax lying near by, and after carefully exam ining the edge ot it, walked toward the tore caHle of the boat where Bachman was sit ting fast asleep, and without a word of warn ing or sign of hesitation, he raised the ax and BURIED IT CP TO THE "EYE' three times in the brain of bis unconscious victim, Bacbman'a hat clinging to the ax the first blow and until the last. Dixon then quietly shouldered the bloody ax and walked back into the engine-room, the dead man's hat still clinging to it. The statement of Captain Bookout. the chief clerk of the Fair Pi ay, is as follows: When about three quarters of an hour out from the landing on our way from Vicksburg a deck passenger rushed int) the cabin and up to the front of the office crying out that a man had b en murdered down stairs, that BIS HEAD HAD BEEN CHOPPED OPEN with an ax. I cautioned the men about making any further outcry about it, tearing unnecessary excitement among my passen gers, and ordered the pilot to turn the boat back to Vicksburg. I then walked hastily down stairs, where my eyes met the most sickening sight I ever .witnessed in my life. I readily recognized the murdered man as Bachman, the peddler, who had frequently traveled on the boat. He was seated in an upright position on a bale of empty cotton seed sacks, bis back ajrainst a pile of coal, his left hand thrown over his pocks, as if he hod fallen asleep. His head, which lay back on the coal-pile, was nothi-r.' '.t an empty shell; the entire brain 1. n literally hewed out, and was han.eir- wn on the dead man's shoulder, preTChtahg a mass of puipy, crushed cone. Drains ana uiooa. l cut'vd out, "Who did this?" to which the fireman on watch replaid tbat "Dixon did it; he slipped up behind him and chopped him three times in the top of the bead with an ax while b3 was asleep." I then went in search of the murderer, and found him back in tbe engine-room seated on a box, quietly smoking a cigarette. I asked him why he had killed Bachman, to which' be replied! "HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO 'FIX ME when he was coming down, and t thought 1 would pet ahead of him." I told him he had committed a most brutal and cowardly act, and if it became known among the passen gers the prospects were good for his being mobbed. This seemed to alarm Dixon, and he lost his conpcs'ure, and began supplicat ing rso hoi to allow him to be mobbed, beg ging me to protect him. "Arrett me," he said, "and carry me back to Vicksburg, and put me in jail; I want to have a fair trial; don't let me be mobbed." 1 marched him up the aft gangway into the cabin, and locked bim up securely in one of the stato-roonis. He manifested great APPRfcHENBtONS Or BEI?1G MOBBED, but the passensersj though terribly shocked at the brutal Manner of the murdsr, re strained their feelings within the bounds of moderation, being assured by me that 1 had turned back toward Vicksburg in order to turn the murderer over to the officers of the law. On arrival at Vicksburg Dixon was ar raigned before the mayor on the charge of murder, but preliminary examination was waived, and he was committed to jail with out bail. A coroner's inquest was held on the remains of the dead man, at which the par ticulars above related were detailed by the various witnesses examined, and a verdict rendered CHARGING DIXON WITn THE MURDER. Dixon remained in prison until the meeting of the criminal court, which occurred about a week or ten days after the murder, before which he was indicted and tried for murder in the first degree. He had the advantage of the ablest counsel in the State of Missis sippi, but the evidence was so positive as to tbe brutal nature of his crime that it availed him nothing. Even the plea of insanity, which his counsel urged with a zeal and abil ity worthy of a better cause, could not be sustained, and on the second day of February the jury returned a verdict of guilty of mur der in the first degree. A motion for a new trial was overruled, and Judge Young pro nounced the sentence of death upon him, set ting the day of execution tbe twenty-seventh of March, 1378. An appeal was entered to the supreme court, when a writ of superse deas was issued postponing the execution un til such time as the supreme court may set, or otherwise rule in the case. THE PRISONER. Your correspondent yesterday visited the prisoner at the jail, and through the courtesy of the jailer, Dixon was permitted to come out of his cell into the inclosure, where he took a seat beside us on the pile of lumber of which his scaffold is to be constructed. Dixon is a small, compactly built man, rather below the medium bight; his hands and feet are small and well shaped; little black, piercing eyes with bulging lids, with a countenance wearing the expression of cunning and brutal courage. His face is large, features coarse and repulsive. . BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. After a formal introduction we made our business known, at which Dixon seemed to be pleased tor having been allowed the op portunity to talk about himself. To our in terrogations he gave quick, frank responses. He gave the following brief sketch of his life: "My name is William Mohan, Dixon being an assumed name. I was born in the city of New Orleans, and I was twenty-five years old on Wednesday, April 17th, 1878. My father died when I was seven years old. I havo a mother who keeps a grocery on the corner of Gravier and Bertraod streets in New Orleans. My two sisters, both younger than myself. live with my mother. I have a brother who is a respectable shoemaker at Biloxi, Missis sippi, lie has visited me once since my im prisonment, but he is too poor to give me any money or assist me in any way. I have led a very wild and wicked life. At the age of eight years I was placed in the house of refuge at New Orleans, because mother was unable to keep me at home or make me go to school. I ESCAPED FROM THE HOUSE OF REFUGE about six monthsgafter my confinement, and hired myself to tbe cook ot a steamboat. I have always been addicted to strong drink, to which I attribute my worst, misfortunes. Since I arrived at the aae of thirteen years a year has not passed over my head without my having been in prison once, twice, or three times, generally for righting, but some times for assault with intent to kill; once or twice on charges of larceny. I had just served out eleven months of a term of two years in the Louisiana penitentiary for robbing a sea captain, when I came to Vicksburg, the gov ernor of that State having pardoned me out. I had not been here three hours before 1 got a berth as deck-sweep on the steamer Fair Plav. Dixon then, recounted tbe particulars of the murder of Bachman, and the causes which led to it, relating the incidents with a careless air, as if he was pleased with the manner jn which he had served his victim. Said he: "The peddler told me he was go ing to fix me, and I THOUGHT I'D FIX HIM FIRST." I asked him if he did not regret the killing of Bachman. He said he was sorry now: that the Sisters ot Mercy and some ot the Catholic priests of Vicksburg had been to see him fre quently; that he had gone to confession, and received the sacrament in anticipation of death. He confessed his guilt, and thought that his crime merited the extrame penalty of tbe 'aw, but he would like to have his sen tence commuted to imprisonment for life on account of his mother. He stated that he has been terribly persecuted by phantoms of the murdered man, which often appeared to him in his cell all bloody and battered, as did the remains of POOR BACHMAN on the night of the eighth of last December, when he murdered bim. He also related a dream he had a short time after his incarcera tion in the Vicksburg jail. He said that he saw himself and three of his early compan ions in crime taken out of jail with halters around their necks; they were made to sit down on their respective coffins while the workmen hammered away in the erection of the scaffold on which they were to be hanged. He said that the agony he experienced under the influence of this dream was unspeakably intense. Since that dream, however, he stated, he has received the consolations ot religion, and now he has no care or concern about his condition or the fate that awaits him; li eits heartily, sleeps well, and tries to b-j as little trouble to bis friends as possi ble H i made some complaint of THE HARD PRISON FARE, remarking pleasantly that he thought it was customary to treat and feed a man well just a few days before he got his neck broke. A remarkable circumstance attending Dixon's incarceration, is the fact that two abandoned women had been constant visitors to his cell, coming eyery day, always bringing some del icacy to eat or drink. Dixon talked freely and carelessly of his approaching doom, and was anxious that a good report of his con duct on the last moment would be made. He remarked that it was a great relief to be allowed tt sit in the open air; that the close cell he occupied was suffocating. We bade him good-bye, promising to see him on the day of his execution, when, if he had any thing additional to say, we would make a re port of it for him. Assaulted by strikers. Ouebec, June 7. The striking laborers, to tbe Mimber of five hundred, forced the menof Roche's mill, Wolf's Cove, to strike to-d.iy. They aesaulied Roche and his clerks because they would not agree to pay his men a dollar per day. The strikers interviewed Premier Joby, who said the contractors would advance twenty cents, making the pay sev enty and eighty cents. The offer was re fused. A number of strikers were sent to prison to-day for intimidating workmen on various works throughout the city. Marine Inttelllseaee. London, June 7.

The committee in vestigating the alleged frauds in Louisiana and Florida in connection With the Presiden tial election; as soon as assembling to-day, went into secret session. The committee was late in throwing open its doors to-day, al though tbe members were in attendance at the usual hour, eleven o'clock. The time in tervening between that and three was spent in secret session, and it is understood their business was a critical examination and com parison of the electoral returns from Louisi ana. On motion of Mr. Potter a subpena duces tecum was ordered issued to t'ae ap pointment clerk of the treasury department for all recommendations on file in that de- Eartment for the appointment of Anderson's rother to a position in Baltimore, and the secretary of state was requested to furnish the committee with all original communica tions, written, printed or telegraphic, on file in his office, or that may be under his control, purporting to come from one cr all the mem bers of the Harlan-M'Veigh commission, sent by the President to New Orleans in April, 1877, together with certified copies of all communications, written, printed or tele graphic, delivered to such commission, or any member thereof, from the state depart ment or from the President, and that passed through the state department. The chair man then presented the following communications and documents re ceived FROM THE PRESIDENT. Executive Mansion, 1 Washington, Jane 6, 1878. ) Sir I am tn receipt of your note of yesterday.

Very truly yours.t W. K. R( HiERS, Prlvats Secretary. To the Secretary of State. Stecbknville, O., March rt, 1877. li s Excellency R. B. Hayes: Dear Sir We have known for a series of years the bearer of this let'er, Mr. James E. Anderson, as journalist, and so far as our personal knowledge ex tends, can Indorse him as a worthy youn man and a staunch Republican. You doubtless are aware th t be served In the capacity of supervisor of regis tration In East Feliciana parish, of Louisiana, at tbe NoTember election, and; we are Informed, was In a Itrett measure Instrumental In saving us the Btate. We would add that we believe him to be needy and deserving of some position. Hoping you will favor ably consider his claims and accord him such aid as you consistently can, I am, yours ruly, P. P. CONN, Oflloe of Steubenville Dnily ami Weekly II: r.U1. James .MKlnne-, deputy-clerk of the supreme court of the United States, was sworn and examined as to the identity of the envelopes and their coo tents already received and examined by the committee) they being the electoral returns, and papers connected therewith, which had been before the electoral commission. M'Kinney had been secretary of that com mission. He recognized and identified the envelopes and the indorsements thereon, some of which were made by himself, and others by Mr. Cattell and George A. Howard, who had been his first and second assistants. The letters "N. C," which had been a puzzle to the committee, were explained by him to be the initials of Nathaniel Clifford, president of the commission. The papers were ail re turneiLin envelopes by him to the president of the senate. Mr. Blackburn, who had been absent from the executive session desired to be informed as to what had been done there. The chairman stated tbat the original elec tion returns, so far as they professed to be original, had been compared with each other and with copies printed in the volume known as the Cowf of Electoral Votes, -and that it bad been found that the certificate which had been before congress and before the electoral commission, and which was ca'led "Not lj" was the certificate first executed and bearing genuine signatures, where there was but one list of electors and not two that is, where they voted at the same time for President and Vice-President and that it was also found that the certificate which con tained two sets of electors that is, where the President and Vice-President were voted for separately, and to which Levisse testified yesterday that his name was forged, had not been printed in the count of the electoral vote under the head of certificate No. 3, which was its number, but that No. 1, with some trifling alterations, had been printed as No. 3. Mr. M'Mahon You discovered, in addi tion, that the original paper No. 1 had but one list of electors. The Chairman I so stated. Mr. M'Mahon Whereas the improper re turns had two lists, in accordance with the constitutional requirement. The Chairman The fact is that the certifi cate called No. 1, printed on page 205 of the account, is the certificate that is admitted to be genuine, and tbat the certificate called No. 3, to which Levisse testified that his name was forged, is not a copy of No. 1, the difference between the to being that one contains the vote ca--t for President and Vice-President in one form of the certificate, while the other has them separately iu the two forms. Mr. Cox That certificate No. 3 has been before the electors! commission, and has been printed as part of its record. It does not ap pear to have been objected to by arybody throughout tbat proceeding. Mr. M'Mahon That was because nobody suspected at that time that they were bogus or forged, and because there was no use in making objection. Mr. Cox Mr. M'Mahon ought to with hold his conclusions about forgeries and everything else at a time when the testimony is incomp'ete; that is a matter which I sup pose the committee wM pass upon some day. Mr. M'Mahon I thought it had been agreed upon among the members that the signature of Levisse in that certificate was not his handwriting. Tbe Chairman Mr. M'Mahon spoke mere ly for the purpose of distinction when ' he called them "bogus." Mr. M'Mahon That covers all the ground reached in the executive session. TL? Chairman Yes, that covers it en tirely. Mr. M'Mahon I wanted our friends out side (meaning the reporters of the press) to get it in mass without getting it from the members in detail. Mr. Cox I would state, however, if that practice is to be allowed of the members asking in open sessioa what took place in secret session, the usual understanding of secresy might as well be dispensed with al together. Mr. Reed I shall understand, of course, that it is dispensed with. m Mr. M'Mahon The proceedings of the se cret session are all spread on record, and will be printed to-morrow, so there is no secresy about ttem. Mr. Blackburn I saw that the stenograph er was taking notes, and therefore I assumed that it was not properly the work of an ex ecutive session. The chairman announced that Levisse, who was to be further examined, had gone home for to-day, and that the ether witness whom he had sent for had not arrived. He also stated that he had sent a message to Senator Ferry, asking him to come before the committee, and that Ferry had sent word that it was not convenient for him to attend at present, thereupon the committee adjourn ed till to-morrow. MAJOR BTJRKE, of New Orleans, who it is alleged represent ed Governor Nicholls and the Louisiana Democrats at the celebrated Wormley confer ence, has been summoned to appear before the Potter investigating committee. Le visse will probably be further examined to morrow. THE SENATE AGREES TO SUBMIT ALL PAPERS DEMANDED. On the assembling of the senate this morn ing the president pro tern, laid before the senate a communication from the secretary announcing that he had been summoned be fore the Potter committee to produce the Louisiara election returns, and tbat he had obeyed the subpena. In conclusion, he says: "I respectfully request that you lay this communication before the senate if deemed necessary and proper. I may have instruc tions as to my duty in this and any similar cases that may hereafter arise." Senator Edmunds submitted an order that the secretary of the senate attend the com mittee of the house meutioned with the pa pers described by the committee and submit the papers for examination from ti'.ne to time, axovding to the convenience of the committee. A long discussion ensued, several claiming that the proper way would have been for tbe bouse to have requested the senate to furnish the papers. Other senators argued that the papers were not in the custody of the senate by any law. They were merely in the pos session of the secretary, according to usage since th3 organization of the government, and therefore the committee bave a right to summon the secretary to produce them. The order of Mr. Edmunds was modified so as to reserve all questions touching the regularity of the action of the committee of thehouse in calling for papers, and instruct ing the secretary to attend the meeting, etc., and as modified was agreed to. Progress or the Work la Florida. Jacksonville. June 7. Sheriff Allen, in his testimony before the sub-committee of tne house ot representatives, inquiring into the alleged frauds in the Presidential election in Florida, said that he knew Dnggers had declined to act with Coxe. but thougut his be ing in town was sufficient; the reason he did not participate on tbe thirteenth was because he knew it would engender a great preju dice among the people. "When Coxe and Dorman made the canvass I thought it was not treating the people right, and felt an in terest in the Republican party, and tooic ev ery advantage I could for it: I didn't think they made a false canvass; was asked to do notning out co-operate in the canvass of the county; was not asked to throw out any precincts." At this point Mr. Hiscock introduced a res olution asking a summons lor J. B. Brant ana J. W. Howell. Rejected by a vote of; Aye Mr. Hiscock; nays Messrs. Hunton and Springer; the latter giving as a reason for their vote that tbe testimony of these par ties would relate to a subject beyond the ju risdiction of the committee. Resolutions, alo, were introduced by Mr. Hiscock that several hundred persons in Ala chua and Baker counties be summoned. Re jected by the same vote. WM. GREEN TESTIFIED that he lived in Baker county, Florida, in No vember, 1876; he was a justice of the peace; received his commission November 13th: the commission was brought to my house by Driggersj never made application for it; he (Driggers) told me tbat be wanted me to as sist in making the canvass of the county election: was sworn in by Driggeis the next day at Sanderson. The witness here des cribed the proceedings at tbe clerk's office substantially as given by the others, and said he signed the paper; Drigger's said it was the return of the election ; I did not read it : did not know its contents; never performed the duties of justice ot the peace afterward, except to marry one couple; Driggers said to me the day before the canvass: "We are beaten, and must turn a new leaf;" be said if I would assist in the canvass we could make things all right; if I bad known that any precincts were thrown out in the return I signed, thrown out wrongfully, 1 would not have signed it; I did not know any were thrown out until several days afterward; I never paid any fees for my commission as a justice of the peace. Mr. Hiscock made a long cross-examination, in which the witness stated that about two months ago be swore to an affidavit, at Darbyville, drawn up by Mr. Martin, and was paid two dollars for time consumed in going there; did not ask what the atfi lavit was for. Mr. Springer read an affidavit to Green from the testimony in the Finley-Bisbee case, signed by Driggers, and giving his statement in regard to the Baker county transactions, dated Tallahassee, December 1, 1876, with a certificate attached signed by Green, and one by Allen, that tbe statements of Driggers were correct so far as they were concerned. Witness said he didn't recollect signing it; was never read in his presence; never knew of the affidavit before to-day. ALLEN RECALLED. Could not remember ever signing nn affi davit in Tallahassee; went to Tallahassee about that time; expenses were paid by Mr. Howell, deputy clerk for Baker county, who said H. Bisbee, jr., had given him ten dollars to give mej remained in Tallahassee three days; witness said he was drinking very hard part of the time in Tallahassee, and would not swear positively whether he signed the paper or not; Green and himself were both drunk one day. ' , DRIGGERS TESTIFIED that he was county judge of Baker county in November, 1S76; didn't tell Stearns that the canvass had givjn the county to Tilden ; might have told him that was the supposi tion; got into the clerk's office by Howell, deputy clerk, letting us in; looked over the re turns and went over the canvass; said 1 could not count the Totes of Johnsville and Darby ville; don't recollect any conversation with M'Lin; don't recollect whether he said there had been any other returns afterward sent to Tallahassee; in the last part of November met Stearns, M'Lin and several others; was requested to go before the board of canvass ers, but was not summoned; was there six or eight days; my expenses were paid by Col onel Martin, they amounted to about twenty or thirty dollars; don't remember who asked me to go there; made an affidavit before Joseph Bowes to use before the board; don't recollect who wrote it; it was not written by me; could not say positively that it was made before Bowes; think William E. Chandler was present; it was made in a room of the city hall; don't remember what Chandler said; don't remember whether he wrote the affidavit; the reason.for throwing out John sonville was that the inspectors had refused to allow one man to vote; tbe man told me himself that he had made no affidavit, but he told me he would make one; I did not ex amine the law; 1 knew that at Darbyville 6ome had been challenged at the polls, and supposed they had no right to vote, although their votes had been sworn in. In answer to a question by Mr. Hiscock. witness said: Men that voted at that pre cinct were not registered; don't recollect only six or eight; two did not reside in the county; in making the canvass I intended to do my duty, and made it in good faith; thought 1 had a right to get a new board; had no collusion with any State officer; Green swore to the affidavit referred to, but could not say whether Allen did; did not sup posed tbat ureen, when appointed justice ot the oeace. would do anything but what was legal; made no such remark that we were beaten, and must turn over a new Jeat. In answer to Messrs. Springer and Hunton, witness said he wis paid the first time he went to Tallahasse to carry returns by Can- ova; he gave me fifteen dollars; the law requiring that returns shall be forwarded by mail was read; 1 had no Durpose in carrying returns there; don't recollect whether Martin gave me any money at that time, but think it was at that time he gave me about twenty dollars for expenses; don't racollect what the expenses were; had a free ticket on the rail- road ; it was when 1 went back to go before the State board that Martin gave me twenty dollars; don't recollect how much 1 received a'togethcr; couldn't say whi ther 1 received any at any other time; will not ttite that these were the only two turns 1 received; ex pect I might have got some more, but will not swear that 1 did; in regard to the throw ing out of returns of the precinct where men were challenged, acd their votes sworn in, witness said he supposed now that it was not in accordance with law; be had done it be cause he thought it was right; in regard to the other precinct, he knew nothing from his own knowledge, or from affidavits; the man whose vote was refused, said it was refused because he was a Republican. Mr. Hunton asked witness if he believed that the regular inspectors would discard a vote because it was a Republican vote. He did not know; witness didn't recollect where he got the pass on the railroad, but thought from Mr. Eagan, at Tallahassee. BLOXHEIM RECALLED. The returns of the counties were read show ing on their face a majority for the Tilden electors. Bloxheim says he never was in tel egraphic communication with Hewitt, Pelton or Havemeyer; sent no dispatches in cypher to them; if Raney or Pasco sent any in wit ness'!; name, it was all right; didn't know wbo telegraphed under the name of Max, or Fox, or River. SAMUEL PASCO, late chairman of the State executive commit tee, testified to the proceedings before the State board of canvassers in regard to the Baker county returns; sent no telegrams in cypher out of the State; did'nt know who Max, Fox, River or W. were. GEORGE P. RANNEY, attorney-general of -ths State, was shown a telegram signed Ranney, asking for material aid ; witness said that he had sent it, and ex plained that the material aid aaVed for was to send agents to all parts ot the State to bring in the returns. Not a cent was used for any but legitimate purposes. Witness was shown a cypher dispatch from New York signed "P. H. But," but stated that he couldn't interpret it. PASCO stated that the material aid received from the north was from the National Democratic committee; didn't understand that any drafts were made on New York for funds; received only a few hundred dollars from the national committee.

The ICIngleader Arrested and Confess to the Kxintenee of a Colored Or Kanixation nl'h Mtartlln lr-ni-iiH Five or them Won't Hart Anbdy. New Orleans, June 7. The Democrat's special from Bavou Sara says that on Sunday night last Dr. Wm. B. Archer was returning to his home from Major Barton's, about ten o'clock, when he was fired on by six negro men, who were lying in the bushes waiting for bim. Five of the negroes had double barreled guns and one a muaket. Dr. Archer was on horseback, and riding on the top of the levee. The assassins were concealed behind two very large Cottonwood trees standing within a few feet of the levee, and all of the negroes tired as the doctor was passing these trees, his clothes being rid dled with bullet holes, and he was thrown from his horse, but fortunately he was not much injured. Tbe assassins took to their heels, running in different directions, but it was ascertained who the parties were who had attempted the foul act, and on Tuesday morning last a large number of citizens collected together at Racourci, where the act was committed. A jury of twelve of our best citizens most of them old, gray-headed men was chosen, who, after a lengthy and thorough examination, found the prisoners, five in number one having mide his escape guilty of shooting at Dr. W. R. Archer with intent to kill. Many witnesses were ex amined, all colored, and two of the prisoners were allowed to make statements, having requested permission to do so. They stated that they had intended to kill Dr. Archer at ten o'clock on Sunday night, and, after making away with him, they were to kill Mr. O. Lejeune, Mr. W. Requet and Mr. Frank Burton. They stated also that they belonged to an organized club, whose object was to kill the leading white men of the country, and establish a nation of their own. They gave the names of many of their members, the names of their president and vice-president, and a general expose of their plans. After the examination closed the prisoners were conducted to a shady grove by all of the citi zens present, and, alter mature de liberation, it was resolved to ' turn them over to the law. The prisoners were placed in charge of a party and started in the direction of tbe courthouse, but had not proceeded far before they were inter rupted, taken by force, and all five of them hung.
