Ex-AttOrney General Williams referring
to publishsd statements in relation to ex-
penditures Of secret service fund, In New
York city, says John T.iDavenport, q
chief supervisor, of elections In the city o1
New York, was engaged in making per
feet registration of voters In that city, he
exhibited his work to, the President, and
explained to him its object and effects, and
the President was satisfied that If completed
1t would enable those in charge of the cleo
| tfons to prevent false registration, and
fraudulent voting. This work was Of
course very expensive, and as the expenses
of preventing frauds. at elections, for rep
resentatives in Congress are devolved by
law upon the department of Justice In
cities containing more than 10000 inhab-
tants. The President requested the Attor-
ney General to give Davenport come pe-
cuniary assistance In the prosecution Of his
work. The money was advanced from
time to time, as was needed for this and
no other purpose, the act Of 1871 commonly
called the enforcement act, provides for
registration of voters by supervisors Of
elections. ,., "a - -r, t,..'
The whole amount given to Davenport for
this purpose was $35,000 IN four years,
WlINams says the act OF congress providing
for supervisors of elections by United States
officers cost the Department of Justice IN
1872, from $500, 600 to $500, 900, and in 1874
about $200, 900. The expenditure through
Davenport was for the sole purpose of pre-
venting frauds at elections, and carrying
into effect the legislation of Congress passed
for that purpose. - nnrn esnz, ~, q
. The President in, conversation to-day on
disbursements by Davenport, and the .pnf-
pose for which it was made, stated the case
substantially as by Mr.. Williams. The Presi-
dent also stated that he was more than
willing that all of his acts should be thor-,
oughly investigated, and 10 wupld stand
by any Of them, and he was confident be
had never ID singls instance '1nfringed On
the law. All he asked was for the truth
with regard to his official acts, he was sure
to be vindicated in the minds of all fair
minded people. -.
