THE wADLEIGH COMMITTEE.

Senator " adleigh's branch of the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections con-
veDed yesterday morning, pursuant to ad-
journmeDt, with all the members present.
The investigation of East Baton Rouge was
continued by the examination OF witnesses
for the Democratic side, the first being
Guy Samuels.
TO Senator McDonald-Reside in East
Baton Rouge, seven miles south of Port
Hudson; am O Democrat; belonged to a
club of which G.. c. Mills was president;
there were between seventy and eighty col
ored members; they manifested great inter
est in the succ asa of the Democratic party;
it is not true, as has been testified before
this committee, that | came into Port Hud-
son with that club; was a United States
supervisor of election, and was inside the
polling booth when | heard them coming,
with good deal of cheering; did not ex-
anime their registration papers and fur.
nish them with tickets; was a member
of the Knights of the White Camelia
in 1868 witness detailed the occurrences in
the neighborhood of Port Hudson, which
have been heretofore detailed; the figures
of the Republican and Democratic commits
siOner did not agree; the Republican de-
ferred to the Democrat; heard of the acts
Of bnlldozers; was indignant; heard
nothing of bulldOzers for seven or eight
months previous to the election; headed q
party Wnloh hunted c0lOr6Q man VINO mad
killed another cOlored man; there was no
coroner's inquest heard of the attempt to
assassinate Captain w. G. Lane, Repub-
lican candidate for the Legislature; never
heard that there was any attempt made to
ascertain who the assassins were.
A. T. Young sworn--Reside in East Baton
Rouge during the election and canvass;
formed Democratic club with many col
ored members.
To Senator Wadleigh-Think the murder
of Paul johnson might have been commit
ted by Republicans for political effect; the
ward had heretofore been pretty evenly d.
vided; this year, I believe, the Democrats
had about 367 and the Republicans seven
votes; the killing of johnson from that
point of view could not have been q sue
cess.
Granville N. Pierce and Paul Daigre and
G. Cassiral (cOlored) testified to the peace
ful character of the canvass and election.
Lewis Morgan, eolored, swOrn-To SEN
ator McMillan-Testihed to general intimi-
dalton In East Baton Rouge, and to the
fact Ofinterruption of Republican meetings,
and that he was shot at several times.
To General HerrOn-In the cases of shoot
ing which were brought before the mayor
of Baton Rouge, the parties who fired at me
and myself also were fined.
Adjourned till 1880 P. M.
The committee meE at eight o'clock, but
as neither side had any witnesses present
an adjournment was agreed upon until ten
o'clock this morning.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-01-11

account of his politics, although he was e
political leader; many white people eup-
ported him for Senator against Weber, q
white man; did SO; in the country politics
is so mixed with everything that it is diff
cult to say that any public feeling does not
effect it; think that these affairs, however,
were not intended and did not nave an
effect on politics; think the bulldozers have
disbanded; they were all left out in the par
ish, and they said that we could hereafter
try the law and order policy when our cot
ton was stolen, as their bulldozing method
was evidently disspproved; there were
many men of good sense in the parish who
believed that whipping was the best means
to prevent stealing; think the election was
fair and free one.
To Senator HOwe-Witnese explained the
autonomy of the parish government; the
Justices of the peace have been extremely
incompetent; after the "Jones uprising"
the colored men engaged in it we're brought
before the district court, Judge Dewing
presiding, and they were acquitted; there
was great dissatisfaction with the charge of
the Judge; have never heard but one lawyer
defend the charge of the judge; that was
w. F. Herman; he is a good lawyer-I was
formerly his partner; he stands at the head
of the bar; he said it was good law; think
the action was brought for riot; thought
myself that the action could have been
made stronger by including other Offenses;
there is complaint that the school funds are
not used for school purposes; George Pack
wood ia now treasurer; he is white man
and a Democrat; think John Gair preceded
him; have heard he was in default when he
died; X. A. Cross was treasurer; be lie a
white man and a Democrat; have heard
complaints all the time, when Democrats
were treasurers as we'll as when Repub-
licans were; the division superintendent is
Loud; believe he had a fight with Cross the
last time he was there three years ago.
Adjourned till 10 A. NJ. to-day.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-01-11

any property; his wife had some; had
about twenty hapds; doR't think he would
be believed on oath; he never paid witness
for saw mill he sold his wife; Mr.. Hooper
and MumFord Wells wouldn't believe him.
j. @. Wise, of Alexsn lria, considered
Mr.. Wells very bad and unreliable; was
published in the Auditors report as q de-
fanlter several year.; with interest the
amount is $50 600 or 100000; don't inow of
his having property; heard of his claim on
the government; believe he was only agent
for Mr., Linton, Confederate who removed
to Texas; Wells is a violent and extreme
man in politics; never had any difficulty
with him; Mrs. Linton says his claim does
not include the Linton estate.
E. ID. White, of Orleans-Canvassed with
Mr.. Nichols; his speeches were all of the
character of the opening oLe; colored men
came to talk with Mr.. Nichols, and see IL
what the Republicans told them of being
put back in slavery was true; they wanted
schools; we're dissatisfied, and wanted a
change.
Adjourned to IL A, Nj. to-day.
