TESTIMONY OF BALLoT-BOx STuFFER.-
The moBotOny Of the investigation into the
Louisiana electson was varied to-day by the tes-
timony of one Theodore Jacques, who was
United States supervisor under the enforcement
act at the last election i'm the state He testified
unblushingly that he stuffed ballot boxes forged
afidayits, and took false Oaths in the Kellogg in
terest at the late election. In answer to a ques-
ton by Mr.. Carpenter, as 70 whether he con-
sidtred himself a corrupt man, he replied tina. ne
was in the same boat with other politicians
and generally went with them in any measures,
believing that trickery and dishonesty in poll
tics is excusable. Mr.. Carpenter asked him If
ne did regard himself in duty bound to tell the
truth when he'was under oath at the time he
was an officer of election, and the witness re-
plied mo; he regarded the oath as mere mat
ter OF FORM" Mr.. Carpenter then asked him
why, after he had helped secure KellOgg's cleo
ton by forged election returns, false affdavits,
&c, ne had gone back ON Kellogg, and the wit
ness replied: ..Well, Inever had no use for that
man Kellogg" :

The Counting OF the ELECTORAL Vote.
,WAsHINGToN, February 12.-At one
o'clock the members Of the Senate en-.
tered the hall Of the House Of Represents
tives and took the seats assigned them.
Vice President Coltax took the chair with
Speaker Blaine on his left. The Vice
President then called the~C Convention tc
order, and said he would now proceed to
the counting Of the electoral votes fol
President and Vice President. A sealed
pbckage containing the votes of each
State was then opened and tellers an
nnounced the vote in each case. Mr.,
Hoar objected to Geergia's 8 votes being
cast for Greeley, but the disposal OF the
matter was withheld. Objections were
also raised to the vote Of Mississippi
whereupon the Senate retired, and the
House then passed a resolution objecting
to the counting of the Georgia vote; and
another agreeing to count the vote oil
Mississippi. --l
The Senate decided to count the three
Georgia votes and the Mississippi vote
and upon the reasscmbling OF the joint
convention, the Vice President stated
that the result Of the questions raised
was: 1st-Non:concurrence between the
two Houses In the case Of tho three votes
OF Georgia cast for Greeley; and that as
no vote objected to could be counted
without concurrence Of both Houses
these votes were rejected. 2d-ThGre
having been concurrence in regard to the
Mississippi votes, they were counted.
Mr.. Trumbull objected to the vote Of
Texas because there was no certificate by
the executive authority of that State tha
persons who voted for President and Vice
President had been appointed electors,
Mr.. Dickey also objected because 1t ap.
peared thas there was not legal MAORI.
ty OF Electors, only four Of the original
electors having been present, and had
undertaken to 6ll the places Of the four
who were absent. Those two objections
having been made the Senate again
at 420 T. NJ. withdrew.
The two Houses acting separately
agreed to count the vote Of Texas and 1t
was so announced upon their reassem-
bling in joint Convention. /.
Senator Rice objected to the vote oi
Arkansas, the certificate being informal.
Objection was also made to receiving the
vote Of Louisiana. Both Houses concur
red in excluding the votes of these States
and finally the result OF the count was an.
nounced to be the election Of Grant and
Wilson. This iormallty was not conclu-
ded TIL after eight o'clock this evening,

A ourious Coincidence.

Some reporters OF the San Francisco
Bulletin made Q balloon excursion lately,
and have narrated their varied exper-
fences at considerable lenth. Among 9th.
er things, the Bulletin says that "Whie
the balloon New World was passing over
Visisacion Valley last Saturday, it became
necessary to throw out ballast for the
purpose Of increasing the buoyancy Of the
sphere, as the balloon had suddenly man.
iiested q tendency to travel towards the
earth. Professor Lay suggested that the
box containing scientific apparatus was
only in the way, and as the barometer and
thermometer and other articles Of furni.
ture were tied In the ropes, it would light.
en- the load q little. The aeronauts watch.
ed its flight as long as possible, and then
turned their attention to the ham sand
wiches and the cordial. A little girl re.
siding near the old Abbey, not far from
the county line, saw the object flying
through the air and came to the concluS'
ion that one Of the party had fallen out.
She ran in and told her mother about the
matter; and the good old soul, thinking
that the person who fell might have sus.
tanned severe injuries, sent her two child
rem over the hill on tour ofinveStigation.
Among the rocks they found the body Of
Mr.. Bailey, the Martinez lawyer, who had
committed suicide"

returned he had walked fifteen miles, lost
gold watch, sprained his thumb, spoil.
ed ten.dollar pair of pants by sitting
down on his luncheon, and caught one
bad cold and two tosd.f1sh. On his ar
rival his favorite cat attempted to get q.
way with pIce OF clam that he had left
on his hook, whereat said cat caught the
hook in her throat and couldn't cough It
up; and his son, in trying to assist her,
got another hook into his toe, and the
doctor had to cut it out; and to top all his
wife was disguised and snappy. he says
fishing may do all very we'll for q man
who Is born lucky, bat no more for him"
