DA VENPORTS TESTIMONY

Wash. Cor. N. Y. Telegram.
Davenport examination before Caul-
fields committee was exceedingly lively,
as Messrs, Caulfeld and Davenport had
many funny, ,exited word TRUSTEES. A COM
ical passage occurred right atthe start,
when Davenport was asked about the
afidavits for which he charged his fees
and the difference in the handwriting,
and he stated that he wrote three different
hands. Laughter He found that men
registered from closed stables, lumber
yards, house of prostitution, gambling
saloons. In one instance persons regis
tered from Governor Fish's stable
Davenport explained how wonderfully
the registration, in certain districts where
fraudulent practices prevailed, dwindled
under his honest regime. He detailed at
great length his entire complicated ma
chinery to detect and arrest illegal vo-
tiers. One of his methods was to send
letters to every registered citizen, and if
the letter was returned with the mark
mot found" that would give the clew to
illegal registration. The government
paid the postage.
Mr.. Meade-How many people have
you arrested in all?
Mr.. Davenport-ln I872alone issued
about 1000 warrants.
Mr.. Meade-How many have been
tried altogether?
Mr.. Davenport-I know of only three
Quinn, Mclaughlin and Hirshheld and
they were found guilty.
Mr.. Meade pointed out that Hirsh-
fields case was the only one tried since
this costly registration began.
Davenport was asked whether, if he
had been dishonest, he could not have
got dozen men to register 1900 times
so that he might get dollar apiece for
issuing the warrants, and he replied not
He admitted that he did not issue the
warrants against the real offenders, the
persons who registered under these I,2oc
fictitious NAMES, but against thos fcti-
tious names themselves.
He was allowed 81 for the issuing Of
every warrant. so that he got 81 200 fol
the 200 warrants he issued in 1879, al
though only forty of the 1900 came tc
the polls and were arrested.
AS Davenport desired to leave at one
o'clock for New York to visit his sick
child, his explanation was suspended un
til Wednesday morning. He said before
leaving that he had not got to the begin
ming yet, (Laughter.)

THE GENERA TIONS OF THEHO USE
OF GRANT.


These are the generations of the House
of Grant,
Grant begat Delano, and Borie, and
Williams whose surname, also was Land
aulet, and Boutwell, of Groton and Cres-
we'll and Belknap.
And Delano begat Chandler, and Borie
begat Robeson, and Williams, whose sur
name, also, was Landaulet, begat Pierre
pont
And the sons of Pierrepont, Bliss, and
Sherman. In those days, also, were let
ters sent to the rulers of the provinces
that they should seek to establish moth
ing at the mouths of the witnesses.
Even as it WAS written: Let no guilty
man escape. And Boutwell, of Groton
begat Richardson and Sawyer, and Cres-
we'll begat Jewell, and the offspring oi
Jewell was Hester.
The sons Of Grant, Fred and Ulysses;
and his brother, OrvilIe.
And Dent, and Cramer, and Casey;
which were brothers.in-la law, and Murphy
whose surname was Thomas who sat at
the receipt of customs.
And Corbin, and Leet and Stocking
and Mcdonald, and Mcguire; Shepard,
also, who was the Boss, and Durell, the
wicked and unjust Judge, and Babcock,
and LuCkey.
Then began whisky thieves to prevail
upon the face of the earth.
And, 10 and behold In that night
came Clymer with his War Committee
and Belknap, the thieving Secretary was
slain.
These be the generations of the House
of Grant. the official corruptionist.

OR7Y-FOUR7H CONGRESS,
STARTLING CHARGE AGAINST A
FORMER PRESIDENT,
WASHINGTON, April I9, 1876.
THE SENATE.

Legislative business was resumed and
the House bill to define tax on termented
and malt liquors was passed.
MI. Thurman called up the motion en-
tered by him several days ago to recon,
slider the vote by which the bill in regard
to counting votes for President and Vice
President was passed. He said he did
not think the bill which passed the Sc
nate could pass the House of Represen-
tatives and the result would be that there
would be no new law on the subject. lie
believed some law should be passed. lie
thought there were fatal omissions in the
bill which had been passed.
Mr.. Morton spoke at some length as
to the necessity Of having new law on
this subject, and said since the bill had
passed the Senate circumstance had
been discovered which would startle the
country when made public.
Mr. Bayard inquired as to the nature
of it.
Mr.. Morton said he would not mention
names, but it was a case where a Vice
President was counting for President. be-
ing himself candidate, counted a false
or void return in his own favor. The
fact was in possession of one of the Sen
ators from Vermont.
Mr.. Thurman said he had seen it sta
ted in a newspaper that this Vice Pres
ident, when his attention was called to
thd fact that the return was false and
directed the clerk to count and then tore
up the paper. That great man never did
such thing, 1t was no use to conceal
the name of that man, 1t was no less
than he whose hand wrote the Declay2-
ZION of independence. 1t was no less
man than Thomas Jefferson. 1t would
not do now to make such a charge a:
that against him. He (Thurman) would
wait for the production of evidence, and
he ventured to say that when it was pro-
duced, there would be nothing in it tc
impugn the integrity Of Jefferson.
After further discussion, the vote by
which the bill was passed was reconsid
ered-Yeas, 81; nays, %. The bill was
then placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Morton gave notice that he would
call it up for consideration tomorrow.
