Committee of Privileges aud Elec-
tions on the Sd inst, in reference to
the Louisiana election, reveals some
very interesting facts, and shows how
the Radicals manage-te keep them
selves in power in the reconstructed
States against the via and interests
of the people. Capt Theodore JAG
ques, a. Grant Republican United
States Supervisor. was a witness be-
fore the Committee and swore that he
went out to the Parish OF Plaque
mines, carrying with him printed affi-
davits with a blank place for the name
of the elector who had been prevent
ed from voting He visited about
800 persons in company with Uni
ted States Commissioner. In some
instances Jacqnes said to the person
whom be visited, .You swear" but
the affidavits were not filed cut, ex-
cept iii one Instance, untiihe returned
to New ORLEANS, where the remain
der of the 800 names were filled in
and the jurat of the Commissioner at
taclied. He then took l,0l3 more of
the blank affidayits and filled in the
names ofpersons found on the old reg
istration list many of which were of
men who were dead, or had only a
mythical existence, and to these the
same jarat was attached. The afiida-
Wit thus, manufactpred,. Jacques took
to the Lynch Board, and by counting
them as votes the Republican candl-
dates. for the Legislature were eelcted.
To many ofthe affidavits the jurat was
attached by the Commissioners before
thedlanles were flied in; and jacques
put one OF these in evidence, The
witness said that he did this at the re-
quest of Mr.. Sypher, candidate for
Congress, who iobtaiued for ilm q
Government barge and gave him $40.
Senator Carpenter, put Jacques
through very severe cross examina-
tion, attempting to break him down,
but utiwithoht success. Mr. Sypher also
tried his hand at cross examination of
the. Witness and only Succeeded in
bringing ont some additional facts
more damaging to himself than any
that had come out in The direct exam
nation. The testimony caused great
excitement among the Louisianians
