LOUISIANA INVESTIGATION.

General Anderson was interrogated at
length and was asked were not good
many atidayits as to intimidation, &C.,
made in New Orleans? To which ques.
tion he replied, large numbers were
sworn to in that city.
q. Were not these aflidaYits prepared
long subsequent to the "a hours required
by law? A. did not know how many
days after the "a hours. Witness said he
did not know that Andrews declined the
office Of District Attorney for the reason
that he was elected by changes in the re.
turns and not by the people, nor did he
know that Andrews ever wrote letter
to that effect. Witness said the Return
ing Board threw out certain votes believ.
ing that in doing so, they were sustained
by the law and the evidence; they did this
without regard to party politics.
Question by Mr.. Field-Did you know
that You threw out more Democratic
than Republican votes? A. We knew
after the result, was ascertained.
@. Did you know this when you were
doing it !? A. Ican't say that we did.
Q. While you were throwing out the
parishes, did you not know il would
efiectthe Presidential election2 A. did
not.
Q. Did you not know that you would
be received as member in the Legisla-
ture, il the vote was declared in your
fayor2 A. The reason for making such
decision was because OF some inquiry
relative TO the parish Of Lafayette; the
return not having been sent at that time.
BE was candidate in that parish and
said that he knew he was not elected, and
therefore would net serve il he was re.
turned as elected.
Q. Had you any reason for thinking
that the Board would return you il you
were not elected. A. Yes, because |
heard 1t whispered abont that would he
returned; l said, l would not take my
seat.
Q. Is DR.. Robeson, Who offered you a
bribe still your friend? A. | do not re.
regard him as my enemy; don't think l
have seen him since.
Q. Do you not think that the man who
would offer you bribe was bad man :?
A. / think it was very improper in
him. #a.,
Q. But do you think it was veRy dis
honorable? :? Al do.
} Q. Did you turn DR.. Robson out Of
your room? A. l got rid Of him by
promising meet him at Ihe St. Charles
Hotel, but did not go there. 3sls-f
Q. Did You express your detestation
OF the offer 2 A. I told him I did not
approve it, and not to mention it to me
again.

TO THE DAILY 1NrE11IGENcER
CONGRESs.
HOUSE.
WAsn1roron. FEBRUARY ..


Mr.. Foster moved to amend by strik-
ing out Of the first section the paragraph
fixing the compensation Of the Senators
at 81 500; that the question had been set
tied last year in the Conference Commit
tee, and the House should stand up man.
fully for what il knew would be The nc.
tion Of the two Houses. The amendment
was agreed 10 by 1888 to II.
Mr. Holman gave notice that he would
call for separate vote in the House, to
see II II would confirm the extraordinary
vote Of the committee-extraordinat be-
cause the Honse, with almost lInanimity,
less than year ago decided that S4 500
was reasonable and sufficient compen.
sation. 1t was an unseemly thing for
the Legislators Of the people to insist on
high salaries for themselves and reduce
the compensation OF the Senate salaried
officers Of the Government. ........
Mr.. Waddell said the services Of the
members Of Congress were worth $1,000
or they were not worth any thing. II
the Chairman Of the Committee on Ap.
preparations, could reduce the salary Of
the members to $4,000, he would then try
to reduce il still further, and the people
from his (Waddells) part Of the country
could not come to Congress.
Mr.. Holman replied that the economy
so derided had reduced the expenses Of
the Government twenty-five million dol.

Eruption ofcotonaxi

New YORK, Sept. ia letter from
Latannga, Peru, gives the story of the
eruption of the volcano of Cotopaxi,
which took place July 18th. Streams
Of water poured from all the craters
at once on the Caloa side, sweeping
away everything in their course.
Another irresistible torrent followed
the course of the Saguamal river.
The hacienda of Signor Donoso is in
ruins, the very soil is gone off. On
the place of Signor Larrea nothing is
left. The river carried off 500 head
of cattle at pasture in the fields. The
Alugoes river overlooked and caused
great damage. Cutchico overlooked
carrying every thing before it.
Splendid machine shops went down
like card house at the first rush of
water, so did various mills. The en-
tire district was like sea and the in
undation would have destroyed the
city had not the course of the floods
been timely diverted into the river
channels. The total loss of life will
reach, if it does not exceed, one thous-
and persons. AT least two thousand
head of cattle have been DESTROYED
and of smaller animals the loss is
much greater. In the midst of the
roar of water and crashing Of houses
the volcano poured out enormous
quantities Of cinders which gradually
darkcned the whole face of the heay-
ems and left Latannga in the pro-
foundcst Obscurity from one O'Clock
in the afternoon until ten at night.

INCREASE OF THE ARMY.

Section l ,2lS of the Revised Statutes
of the United States provides as fol-
lows:
No person who has served in any
capacity i'll the military, naval or civ
il service of the so-called Confederate
States, or either of the States in in
surrection during the late rebellion,
shall be appointed to any position in
the army Of the United States.
This statute is yet in existence, and
we doubt not that at the next session
of Congress an effort will be made to
repeal it. We so judge from the fol-
lowing in the Courieg-Jou,no1, of
Louisville, Ky:
'Therc is but one answer to this
question, and that is that the regular
army should be increased. The raw
est recruits with continuous training
and good instruction, can soon be
the regular army accomplished Off
GERS, who can conveniently and effect
lively teach and command more men
than now compose the rank and file
of the army. The regular army has
already reaped the experience of
Northern men in the actual school of
war. There are in the south many
officers who ,ryed with merit and
distinction in the Confederate army,
whose experience, training and skill
could at once be made of service to
the country. The era Of rcconcilia-
ton is an accomplished fact. We
have forgotten that we were Federa!s
and Confederates. There are men
who were Confcderatcs, i'm every de.
partment OF the National Govern
mcnt in the Cabinet; in the Senate,
in the House of Representatives, on
the Bench, in the various public OIL
ces. Only the army and the navy are
without such Representatives land yet
it was chiefly in military and naval
skill that the country gained by the
experience of the Confederate Off
GERS in the war. We require
a larger army, and the best sentiment
Of the country recognizes the necessi-
ty. We could double our present
force, and then have an army none
TOO large for the duties we impose
upon it."
Next to getting possession Of the
civil channels of the government,
those who rcbelled and fought under
arms to destroy the Union, want
to take possession Of the army and
navy, and run it. We are always for
peace we want to exercise the broad
est charity. No man will go further
than we will to give a chance to any
and everybody who has committed an
ofiensr, the fairest opportunity con-
sistent with safety, TO redeem them
selves, but justice to society demands
that we should guard its interests rs
we'll rs be kind and indnlgent to the
erring. We cannot believe that it
will be well to officer the army and
navy from among the old Confcdcr-
ate officers. This, however, beyond
question, will be the policy of the
democratic party just so soon as they
obtain power.

WILSON'S SPEECH.

Mr.. Wilson'S able and dignified
speech. delivered at Lewis Opera
House, last Wednesday night, appears
in full in the Supplement of to-day {
COURIER.
The Hall was filed to its utmost ca
pacity, and many were unable to find
admittance. TWAS such an audience
as any man might consider himself
complimented in drawing. We have
neither the time or space to review
the speech Today. In fact it was
such an address as needs no comment.
We commend it to the daily and
weekly readers of the COURIER as
containing much matter worthy OF
their careful consideration.
Many ladies were out and we no.
ticcd considerable number Of our
democratic friends present, who must
have been somewhat surprised to
hear the political issues of the day
discussed reasonably, dispassionately,
earnestly and unanswerably, by a
gentleman who didn't find it necessa.
ry to characterize his opponents as
horse thieves, pickpockcts, and liars
We commend Mr.. Wilson's exam
pie in this respect, as well as in all
others as worthy of the imitation OF
those who essay to instruct the PEG.
pie from the political rostrum.
Mr.. Wilson's speech appears in
full in the enterprising State Reg,ste,
and Burlington Harheye to-day, and
it is destined to be come one of thu
notable addresses of the pending
camOaiUn.

say---in the classic language of the

the general public, in the positive GER

hard things about that same party.

quite recently, pronounced scurrilous
funeral orations over its "putrid

But considering that the notable

WADE HAMPTON and his banditti
have been brought up standing, as we
learn from Charleston corresponds
cnrof the New York Sun. In viola
ton ofthe agreement which resulted
in the expulsion Of Chamberlain, an
erpartc Star Chamber grand jury has
been at work on trumpcd-up evil
dence indicting all the Republican
leaders they had driven out. All this
thing was going on swimingly until
the grand jury struck evidence equally
duplicating democrats. About this
time Butcher Butler, of Hamburg
fame, put in an appearance, just from
Washington, with the following re-
suit, according to the aforesaid au-
thority:
"Butler appeared before the Invest
igating Committee. He had returned
from the North the day before, and
was chock full Of pacification. He
made the committee long speech, in
which he advocated the abandonment
of their present proceedings upon
grounds of public policy-that they
were injurious to the democratic par
ty north, to the State, and to Governor
Hampton. Those Of the Committee
who were present heard him with
much appreciation, but no further &C
ton was taken in the premises until
Gov. Hampton could return and give
his views upon the subject. The
Governor is anxlously expected on
every train"
