Oregon.

Washington, Feb. l7.-Conrad n.
Jourdan, cashier of the Third National
bank, of New York, was before the
Senate subcommittee on privileges and
elections this morning in answer to a
subpoena to testify to his knowledge
of sums of money having been sent
from New York to Oregon since
the late election, but witness declined
to answer questions on that sub
ject, or to produce the books and papers
called for until he had consulted his
lawyer. He had consulted with the
president and directors of his bank
since the subpoena was received, but
refused to state what advice had been
given him when he consulted them rel
ative to the subpoena calling for state
ment of the accounts of Samuel j.
Tilden, A. S. Hewitt and W. 7. Pelton.
Jourdan has been placed in the custody
of the sergeant-at-arms.
John w. Ellis, president of the Third
National bank, of New York, stated
that he knew of subpoena to Jourdan,
calling for certain books and papers:
he spoke to Jourdan, who said he had
received another dispatch telling him
he need not come to Washington; wit
ness don't know who sent the dispatch,
anu OOlllut lulllhS IL DOItIlO signature, ,
learned of Jourdan being in contempt
through newspapers, and went to him
and asked him how it was, and Jourdan
wrote to Senator Morton stating that
he would come to Washington immedi-
ately; Jourdan was Republican, but
Tilden bull-dozed the Republicanism
out of him this time.
Jourdan being recalled stated that
the dispatch telling him he need not
come to Washington was not sent him,
but was brought to the Third National
bank and given him to read. He de-
clined to say who the dispatch was sent
to, and who brought it to him at the
bank until he has consulted counsel; :;
He did not tell Ellis he received dis
patch saying that he (witness) need not
come to Washington, but told Ellis he
had seen such dispatch.
Ellis and the paying teller of the bank
will appear before the committee Tues
day next.

ELECTION INVESTIGATIONS.
Louisiana.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Before the
committee on the powers and privileges
of the House, to-day, d. S. Kenner tes-
titled that Gov Wells told an untruth
in testifying that Kenner offered him Il
bribe to cast the vote of Louisiana for
Tilden. Witness stated that he met
Wells on the street November eth, and
said he wished to see him at his wit
messy office. Wells replied that he was
perfectly willing to talk frankly and
freely on the subject of the election, but
he was a poor man. This allusion led
witness to suppose that he alluded to
the loss of his office, and witness asked
him what office Gov. Packard could Of
fer that would compensate him for the
hatred of his people. Wells replied that
he did not care for that; any compensa-
tion he might receive for his course
must enable him to retire to his planta-
tion in Rapides parish; that this was a
big thing, the biggest thing he ever
handled; promises would not answer
this time, as he was determined to
make it tell; witness urged Wells to
name some amount, but he refused,
saying he must first consult with Tom
| Anderson. This was at another inter
| view. Wells said he doubted whe ther

he could do anything because Anderson
doubted his (witnessO ability to raise a
large amount. Witness asked how
much Anderson wanted, and Wells re-
piled ''half a million" Witness said
this was perfectly ridiculous, and if the
demand was insisted upon they might
as well drop the matter. After the pro-
mitigation of the vote they met, and
witness expressed his astonishment and
regret at Wells course. Wells said:
''what could do? you had no money!"

himself safe, and Wells replied-"you

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic senators are greatly depressed by
last nights decision, but their feeling
seems generally to partake of sorrow
than of anger.
Bayard says he hoped for 4 different
result and believes that the object of
the bill was defeated by appointing two
pronounced partisans like Morton and
Garfield as members of the commission.
He says, however, that the bill was a
compact between parties, and the re-
suit, although deplorable, must be ac-
quiesced in.
President Ferry is happy, but de-
plores the partisanship of the Demo-
cratic members of the commission as
displayed by their invariably voting
solidly against the Republicans. There
is no instance, he says, where Demo
crat voted with the Republicans, but
Judge Bradley did at least once vote
with the Democrats on question re-
hting to evidence.
Senator Morton looks ten years
younger than he did last week, and as

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
A High Old Time.

n kRiSn Slo Huc.
Washington Feb. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives
were in caucus tonight, Representa-
tive Clymer presiding.
A resolution proposing to abandon
the commission received thirteen votes.
Cochrane offered preamble and res
olution reciting that the electoral COM
mission was created in good faith, with
view to the examination of evidence
and all questions which pertain to the
votes of the disputed States, and that
said commission has fraudulently re-
fused to obey the law and will of the
people by defeating such examination;
fraudulent acts of said commission by
all means known to the Constitution
and laws.
Regan offered a substitute providing
that the count of the electoral vote
shall proceed without dilatary opposi-
tion to the execution of the act of
Congress creating the electoral commits
| sion, whose decisions shall be received
and acted upon in accordance with the
| provisions of said law.
A long and animated debate ensued
Bright offered an amendment to
Reagan's resolution, stating that this
resolution is accompanied with the
solemn and earnest protest of the Dem
ocratic party against the gross and
shameless violations of law, justice and
| truth contained in the decisions of the
majority who signed the same in the
cases of Florida and Louisiana. The
resolution of Reagan, as amended by
Bright, the whole being a substitute
for Cochrane's proposition, was adopted
by vote of 60 to 40
Field offered resolution for the ap-
pointment of committee of five to in
quire whether it would be expedient to
withhold the appropriation for the sup
port of the army. Willis moved to lay
the resolution on the table, saying that
to withhold such supplies would be rev.
| olutionary, and the effect would be to
alarm the country, therefore he should
oppose any such legislation to the bitter
end. Field withdrew his resolution
An adjournment then took place.

A Horrible Wife Murder.

The Santa Fe New Mexican says that
on Sunday morning, February 4, the
town of Taos was startled by the re-
port that Maria de Jesus Martinez had
been cruelty murdered by her husband,
Jesus Santistevan. The residence of
the deceased was entered, and the re-
port was found to be only too true;
from all the facts that could be gath
cred, it appears that the murderer,
after some conversation with his vic
tim, shot her with revolver, and then
finished her by beating her head to q
jelly with the butt of his pistol. The
murderer made his escape, but it is be-
lieved he will be captured.

REPORTED EXPRESSLY FOR THE LEADER.
NIGHT REPORT.
WASHINGTON.
Hewitt Protests.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Hewitt pro-
tests, doubtless truly, that he knew
nothing of the dispatches relating to the
purchase of Republican elector in Or
egon, until he saw them in newspapers.
Any such plot was wholly concealed
from him and the only object of his own
dispatches to Oregon was to enable the
Democrats to avail of any technical
point in the Oregon case by means of
which to draw or force the Republicans
into going behind the certificates in the
southern States. His telegram request
ing Kelly to return to Oregon was re-
sponsive to a message from Senator
Casserly saying Kelly was in San Fran
cisco, and requesting him to tell Kelly
to return for consultation with Grover.
Hewitt also denies that he had any in
timation from Grover of the latter's
purpose relative to Cronin- prior to the
9th of December.

The excitement among the Demo-
Gratis over the evident success of Hayes
is less than it would be if Tilden was a
cordial favorite. Those who opposed
the latter's nomination now demand an
entire reorganization of the party, and
claim the party defeat has resulted en-
tirely from his mismanaged ''still
hunt Democratic denunciation of
the Oregon business is becoming COM
mon. A prominent Indiana Democrat
says publicly that it is infamous, and
ought to defeat Tilden. He deserves
all he gets" There is strong reason
for predicting that at least one Demo-
crat on the electoral commission will
peremptorily refuse to sustain the Gro
min performance.

Disgr aceful Doings of the Democrats.

Washington, Feb. lit is believed
that the motive of perhaps majority
of the Democrats in voting for Lamar's
resolution was merely to gain an oppor-
tunity by means of caucus authority,
to restrain their more impetuous breth-
rem from rash declarations or from in
augurating course of factious tilibus-
tering.
Immediately after the House ordered
recess, and before the members had
left their seats, the clerk read an an
nouncement for Il caucus tonight,
whereupon vociferous cries of Now"
now," hold it now," were raised by a
number of impatient Democrats, and
kept up for minute OF two, while the
Republicans, taking advantage of their
discontinue, also joined in the cry, and
gave the scene a ludicrous turn, which
terminated in q peal of laughter and
helped to allay angry excitement.

New Orleans, Feb. 1.-THE business
community is excited and feverish as to
the governorship. 1t is acknowledged,
since the decision of the electoral tri-
bunal, that Nichols has nothing to
stand on, but the Democrats openly de-
clare that Packard shall not be gov
ernor. Business is Frustrated and So
ciety demoraliZed by the uncertainty
which should be ended as soon as pos,
sible. Packard will need little gov.
ernment aid at first. but will soon dem.
onstrate that southern Republican
government here is possible.
