The Democratic caucus Of the House Sc
lected Payne, ,Hunton and Abbott as members
Of the House branch
LittleReld, one OF the clerks Of the
Louisiana Returning Board, was before the
Louisiana Investigating Committee of the
House on the Goth ult., and refused to an
swer whether alterations had been made in
the returns as they originally came to the
Returning Board; whether such alterations
were ordered by a member Of the boaro, ETC.,
and several other questions to the same ef-
feet. Woodward, another clerk Of the board,
testified that he knew Of no special instruc-
tions to clerks; could not explain the change
OF the Vernon Parish record. Murphy, OF
Davenport, Iowa, testified that he met Little
field in st. Louis by appointment; the latter
gave him the Vernon Parish return, and told
him he altered the return by Gov. Wells or
der; the Governor also destroyed certain
tally-sheets. Littlefeld was recalled and
admitted having told Murphy as he stated,
but 1t was untrue.
Kenner was farther examined by the
House committee on the 29th ult. As TO the
returns from Vernon Parish, he said he had
no doubt of the originality Of the paper pre-.
sented; had not thought why the 176 votes
had been transferred from Tilden to Hayes,
and knew Of nothing done TO those returns
in the board.
