There has been quite a rivalry between
these two houses to &c, out a West Viz

we must say, that both have succeeded

geographical, historical and statistical
Information touching the different sec.

has a view Of the Capitol building, and
also Of Bethany College aud the principal

the Baltimore & Ohio bridge at Harpcr's

LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION


WASHINGTON, ID. C., February THE
committee on powers and duties Of the
House in counting the electoral vote
this morning recalled Louis NJ. Kenner,
Of the Louisiana Returning Board. He
was examined by Mr.. Lawrence, and tes.
titled that he had no knowledge Of any
alterations having been made in the re.
turn from Vernon parish. lie had no
knowledge Of any papers having been
burned or destroyed, nor did he know OF
any proposition for receiving money for
any action connected with the electoral
vote. He never heard Of any conyersa.
ton between Gov. Wells and Littlefeld.
Being inteIrogated by Mr.. Field, wit.
ness said the Returning Board did not
feel safe, and there was necessity for
troops to protect them. We felt intim.
idated, but this did not affect the action
Of the board. Witness voted 10 throw
out more than 10000 Of the Tilden vote.
There were irregularities in one or two
parishes. Some voters were kept from
the polls by intimidation, others were
killed, and others made 10 vote against
their wishes.
Q. Will you now say that in your
opinion the 10000 votes cast for Tilden
were cast by persons against their will,
owing to intimidation? a. think there
we're thousands OF votes thus given.
Mr.. Field-Does it not appear that 4
gross fraud was perpetrated as to the re.
turn from Vernon parish? A. 1t does,
and rather bad; ] should say something
was done with the vote Of that parish.
q. But was there not something gross.
ly fraudulent? A. YeS.
Mr.. LaWrence-As you have stated
how the paper appears TO you, will you
state whether il appears that some person
made an alteration Of the returns without
acknowledge Of the Board, then stole
the paper and carried away in order TO
throw suspicion on the Board!
This question witness promptly an
sWered in the affirmative.
Lew Washington, Of this city, engaged
in the banking business, called as an ex.
pert, having had much experience in the
examination Of checks, &C., Mr.. Field
handed him the returns Of Vernon parish,
Witness pointed out alterations from
the original, having been written on
erasure. Witness, in reply 10 Mr.. Law.
renee, said he saw the paper about two
weeks'ago at the Arlington. Pelton had
the returns. He was invited by John +.
Cole to call there at Col. Pellon's room
to examine the paper as an expert He
was introduced TO Mr.. Weed, OF New
York, who had the paper.
G. P. Davis one Of the clerks oi the he.
turning Board testified: He remembered
OF hearing Of the alteration OF the returns
his attention was called 10 the fact, after
promulgation Of the electoral vote, that
votes had been placed on the Republican
side which,did not belong there; had made
no examination Of the return Of Vernon
parish, after he learned 1t had been tam
pered with. Littlefeld, on inquiry, in
formed him that II had been lost.
William II. Green, colored, assistant
Secretary Of the Louisiana Senate, pre-
yiously minute clerk OF the Returning
Board, was called. At the suggestion Of

rhc EIcctornl Connnission.

The grand commission seems to be com.
posed, after all, Of men OF like prrpos.
sessions, iinol Of like prcjudices and pas.
-iona, with the rest Of us. They decided,
ia the Florida ease, yesterday, not to go
behind the returns, by strict party vote
$ rs Republicans to : Democrats.
This party division included not only
the Congressman but also the Supreme
Judges, - embracing Justices Miller,
Strong and Bradley, on one side, and
Justices Field and Clifford on the
other. The point at issue was
the same so exhauslively discussed
on Monday by Eyarts aud O'Conor, viz:
Has the commission power 10 go behind
the legally certified rcsultof an election
ia anv State Of the Union? Mr.. Evarts
i: will be recollected, contended that "a
States own record Of the result Of its
election is conclusive; that there could
exist no adequate power to go beyond it
"that would.not OF necessity be judicial
"in its natnre.n Mr.. 0'Conor antago.
nizsd this view Numerically, holding
that it was entirely competent for the
commission, representing Congress, to
80 behind the ns.and unearth fraud.
The point was decided in favor Of the
positions maintained by Mr.. Evarts and
the decision carries with it, We presume,
the vote Of both Florida and Louisiana
.s returned by their respective Returning
Boards.
The second point decided yesterday
was to admit evidence rs to the cligibil-
ity OF Humphreys to serve a' an'elCctor.
lie wa' one Of the Republican electors
in Flaida. The Commission stood S to
in iaSoroi admitting evidence on this
point. Justice Bradley changed over to
tue minority, and thus it wa' decided by
majority Of one to inquire into Hum.
phrcy's eligibility. This decision carries
with it an inquiry into the case OF every
other alleged ineligible cIector, "a, for
instance, Mr.. Albert Peyser Of this State.
AZ to Humphreys case, the record in
regard to his eligibility Is as follows, as
the same appears by an extract from the
testimony before the Florida State Can.
vassing Board, Monday, December .ith,
1876, which extract wa, read by Mr..
Evarts:
Mr.. Humphreys, sworn-Q. Are Won
Shipping Commissioner for the port Of
Pensacola? A. am not.
q. We're you. at one time? 4. was
at one time.
q. When? A. Previous to the 9Th Of
November.
.. What time did you resign? \. The
acceptance OF my rcsignatiOn was received
By me from Judge Woods about weel;
or ten days before the election, which
have on lile in my office; did not think
Of ils being questioned, or would have
it here; he stated in his letter to me that
the Collector Of Customs would perform
the duties Of the Office, and the Collector
OF Customs has since done 20.

The Senate subcommittee on Louisi.
ana examined this morning, York A
Woodward, a resident Of New Orleanl
nine years. He was one Of the clerks oI
the late Returning Board; had known ].
+. Littledeld several years; was at the
Office Of the Returning Board from
supper on the Sd OF Dec; was at work
till 2 A. NJ; was with Littlefeld but did
not see him making any erasures; he
first heard Of the transfer Of Vernon par.
ish whenhe came to Washington; Little.
field called off the figures and could have
called of false figures II he desired, as the
clerks were very busy; / did not know
that the original returns had been carried
away; first knew OF Littlefelds absence
when he called at his house to find out
where he was; Mrs. Littleheld said. he
had been called away by the illness Of his
father. The witness stated that he did
not know that the members Of the Board
ever gave him instructions for changing
the returns, nor did the attorney for the
Board.
I. W. Eaton, another clerk Of the Re-
turning Board, testified: lie did not see
how Littlefeld nor any one else could
make erasures on the original returns;
Littlefeld never asked him 10 assist in
making any alteration.
Isidore Mccormack examined. Was
one Of the Returning, Board clerks; re.
turned to the board rooms after the Sun.
day night dinner, and remained until all
the clerks left. Witness corroborated
the testimony Of previous witnesses as 10
Littleiield's operations in the board rooms
that night. Saw Spearing after Little
field was gone, and the latter said the
Republican party had gone back on Lit
tleiield. The expression was, "giyen
Fred. the goose" and now Fred. was
going to take care Of himself. Spearing
had been an active Republican, but at
the election had supported the side Of
Nichols. Don't think Gov. Wells had
any consultation that night with Little.
