Afternoon Dispatches.


WARRINGTON, February 1.-THE Com,
mittee on Powers, Privileges and Duties
Of the House this forenoon examined
Duncan s. Kenner, Of New Orleans, who
said that Gov. Wells told an untruth in
testifying that Kenner offered him q
bride to cast the vote OF Louisiana for
Tilden. He met Gov. Wells on the street
on November 18th or 18th, and said he
wished to sec him at his (witnessD office.
Wells said he was perfectly willing to
hold a talk frankly and freely on the
subject Of the election, but that he was u
poor man. This allusion led witness to
suppose that he had reference to the loss
Of his Office, and witness asked him what
office Gov. Packard could offer him that
could compensate him for the hatred Of
his people?
Mr.. Wells replied that he did not care
Tor the office, but that any compensation
he might receive for his course must en-.
able him to retire to his plantation in
Rapides parish; that this was big thing,
the largest thing he ever handled; he
promised he 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 TON Anderson. AT
another interview Wells said he could mol
do anything, becauscAnderson doubted hi.
witness ability to raise large enough
amount; witness asked how much Ander.
son wanted, and Wells replied half mil.
lion; witness said this was perfectly
ridiculous, and il the demand was
insisted on they might as we'll drop the
