MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

| examination of the Rev. Mr.. Ihurs-
ton oday was very important anu
interesting. The great interest OF
| the occasion has been the examlna-
ton of the burglar or false keys,
with KEYS in possession of Treasurer
Hall of prosecution, and Secretary
Thurston of defense. Three experts
swore that the false keys CORES
ponded more with Halls than
Thurston's. The examination on
this point caused quite a sensation.
Tburston was at first denied the
right to testify, but towards the
close was sworn as witness, ana
was listened to with marked atten-
ton. He gave what seemed a
straightforward and concise account
of his connection with the affair.
The prosecution made but brief
cross-examination. After hearing
the counsel on both sides, the Court
decided that there was not enough
evidence to convict and dismissed
him from custody, amid great
cheering.

Louisiana State Election.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.
The bill proposing new state election
in Louisiana is in the hands of Senator Car
penter and General Butler. Senator Thur
man disavows any forward consultation
with them regarding its features. The re-
ported details of the bill have been some
what changed The commission of mill
tary officers to be appointed by the Presi-
dent is substituted FOR commission of one
Senator and two Representatives on the
subject of legislation for tomorrow.
Reports prevail that the President has
differences with political friends and Is
disposed to act altogether independently Of
them, but ii is known from those having
intimate relations with him that the reports
are unfoundcd, nor is it probable that any
differences are likely to exist excepting
such as may be nseparabe from views the
President may himself take of his constitu-
tional duties and the official responsibility
which attaches to his office.
He is now preparing q message which he
will submit to the cabinet before transmit
ting it to Congress. This message will ac-
cording to present understanding be con-
fined To plain but elaborate statement of
facts attending the federal proceedings in
Louisiana, in support Of the United States
judicial decisions which he had no au-
thorty to disregard, whatever may have
done. 1t is positively known that the
President has not intcrfered in any way
with the Louisiana question relating to
seats either in the Senate or lIonse of
Representatives to Louisiana. OF both
parties who have called upon HIM, he has
repeatedly s1id that such questions properly
belong to Congress.
The constitution makes such house the
judge OF the action and the qualifications of
its own members; and that the consdera-
ton of such questions involves the subject
of the legality of the authority under which
certificates of election were issued, so the
one question necessarily affects the other
and both could Mt the same time he deter
mined.
This, in substance, is the reply lie has
unrcservcdly given to those who have inter
rogated him on the subject Of the bill pro-
proscd to be passed by Congress ordering a
new election in Louisiana He has dscour-
aged such legislation, and, while thus oppo-
sing Congressional influence, he has had no
hesitation in saying SO to visitors as he
stated yesterday that there was no doubt
that the election in Louisiana was an or
gained fraud from beginning to end, and
for the benefit of those now in possession
Of the government of that state. There has
never been fair count Of the votes the
result having been reached by dishonest
means too well known to be repeated.
