Geodwyn-Erewer Care. The contested election case of Good- wyn vs. Brewer, from the Fifth Ala- bama district, was argued before the house committe on elections No. 1 Sat- urday. Mr. Goodwyn contested the seat held by Judge Cobb in the last house and was given the seat. Mr. Goodwyn was represented in the com- mittee by Gen. W. W. Dudley, of Indiana, and Mr. Vaughan, of Alabama, and Mr. Brewer by A. D. Pitts and G. H. Patrick. Cobb’s plurality on the face of the returns was 700; Brewer’s almost 6,000. As in the Aldrich- Plowman contest, the principal allega- tion of fraud is made against the re- turns from the county (Lowndes in this case) where there is a large excess of colored population over white. The census shows that the population of Lowndes county consisted of 4,563 whites and 6,985 colored persons. The official returns from this county gave Brewer, democrat, 3,407, and Goodwyn, republican, 272. Geodwyn-Erewer Care.
