that he believed that his life was In danger that
he believed that OH fair election without inttni-
dation, etc., Hayes would have carried the State.
that lie thought hs did right In throwing out the

or tho mountain was on top of him. that
he had been il!4treated by the people
Of Louisiana; that he had labored
for them under Johnson's administration, and
that they had gone back on him. he had nov got
even with them and did not care what came next.
Wells Ia evidently prepared for The worst. What
hurts him worst of all is the fact that the presi-
dent denounces him so bitterly.
He says be has been faithful 10 Grant and
Casey, and now they, too, have gone back ON
him. Ills demesnor 10 that Of q thoroughly de-

To Impeach Littlefleld's Testimony.

Especial to N. o. Democrat.l


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--The Electoral Tribunal
began liz session at 0 O'Clock. Kassop, OF Iowa.
presented case OF objection 10 the Democratic
vote OF Florida. In his epeech, which even the
Radicals pronounce weak and gausy. no points
Of Importance were presented.
1he Republicans are attempting TO get Matt
Wells before tho Senate Committee prior TO his
examination by Field.
Maddox made no new points in his testimony,
beyond correcting some slight errors.
A telegram read FROM New Orleans, announcing
that dozen witnesses had loft there for Wash
ington TO impeaeh Littlefeld's testimony, creates
amusement here. There is no doubt here "a to
the capacity Of the Packard gang to furnish
perjury In quantities to suit, ut reasonable rates,
but how they propose to impeach that part OF
Littleheds testimony, which consists Of the orig
inal returns of Vernon parish, with the signature
OF the parish clerk, and showing the alterations
made by Littlefield, is not exactly understood
here. The only possible way In which ii could
be done, would be by. hiring the Parish Gan.
vassers of Vernon to swear that the original re-
turn was a forgery, and the forged copy prepared
by Lit.lefeld, under Wells instructions, the
original. Unless this 10 done, all the carpet-bag-
gers In Louisiana could not impeach Little6eld's
testimony. BUELL..

INSURANCE CR0OKEDNEss.
Insurance Officers Indicted for Embez-

NEW York, Feb. 2.--The Grand Jury yesterday
presented indictments against Theodore II. Wett-
more, Vice President Of Security Life insurance
Company, for enbezzlement and grand larceny
Robert l.. Case, President; Robert L. Case, Jr.,
Aetuary; Isaac II. Allen, Secretary, for perjury.
Judge elders eeve Immediately issued bench
warrants for the arrest Of oil the above named,
which were placed In the hands Of officers for
service.
MFR. wettmoro. did not sign the annual state.
ment Of the company, and no indictment could
be found against him for perjury, as In case Of
the other officials who affixed their signatures to
the false statements.
Mr.. Allen was at the Office of the Security Com
many Yesterday M usual, and will not make any
effort, he states, TO avoid arrest. He has, how
ever, made provision for bail when the time
comes. The other officers OF the company have
not been seen about the Office for some time.

TOM ANDERSON.
He Acknowledges That Propositions Were
Made TO Him to Sell Out.

Especial 10 The N. o. Democrat ]


wAsHtraroN, Feb. 2.--Tom Audersons testi.
mony has just been furnished. He did not con.
tradiot Maddox except as TO the interview which
Maddox raid In bis testimony yesterday that he
had had with Anderson. This interview Ander-
aon denied, but Maddox, who preceded him by
request, had already corrected this portion Of
his testimony OF yesterday 30 that Andersons q
denial was not an impeachment of the testimony
of Maddox.
The general tenor Of Anderson's testimony was
ioorrpbora,ive of that Of Maddox, 30 far as he
swore positively. The main features of Andsr-
sons testimony we're declarations that. If the
things which M,ddox charged had been
done st oil, they had been done without
his (Anderson's) knowledge. He said the
only iptimaton he ever had OF the
million dollars plot was when the State Senator
from hs distriot--"t can't remember bis nsmes
came 10 hiaa and said Anderson. II you will
consent TO count Louisiana for Tilden you can
be worth two hundred thousant dollsrs tho day
after 10 Ia decided" or words TO that effect An
rson said that he repelled that proposition,
subsequently heard no more Of H.
W. ne said he knew nothing OF alterations ,of re.
turns. He passed upon them In the board as
they came from the clerk. He supposed that
they were the true originals, and did not inquire
particularly. TX Wells had oonspired, as Maddox
aud Picket. charged, he twclis) had not taken
him tAnderson) into his confidence in the slight
est degree. This IL the substance OF the two
ho,lrs examination OF Tom Anderson.

THE FLORIDA CASE.
Something Mere About the Maddox Mat

Another Assurance that Louisiana has
Gene for Tilden.
fspecIsl 10 N. O. Democrat.1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--The Electoral Tribunal
heard Kasson and MoCrary to-day on the Florida
case, but adjourned until tomorrow without
action.
The Congressional proceedings are uninterest-
Ing. The House Committee resumed the exsmi-
nation Of Maddox in reference TO the rascalities
the Louisiana Returning Beard.
HoNsnied that he was 10 receive portion Of
the million Of dollars that Mat Wells demanded
80 tho purchase price Of the State Of Louisiana.
He was satisfied that. the vote Of the State had
been cast for the Democratic party, the election
having been az fair as any election could be.
He said that he had some sympathy for the
people there, having married In New Orleans,
and livcd In the State for o number OF years. He
found that they had been trampled upon at,d op.
pressed, and that their substance was being
taken away. He was satisfied that Wells propo-
stion TO the Republicans could not be met, but
he did hopo to carry out bis proposition to the
Democrats.
Anderson, one Of the Returning Board officers,
was examined, and OF course denied oil knowl-
edge OF this proposition Of Wells. A. L. @.

Especial TO N. o. Democrat. ]

WASHINGTON, Feb 2..~The scene at the OPEN
ing OF the Electoral Tribunal WAS very impressive.
Never befJre In the history OF The country had so
eminent lawyers. jurists and statesmen been a..
sembled 10 discuss and determine 30 grave an
issue. The common remark is that the Demo
Gratis not only have the beat end OF the oase, but
Che strongest array Of counsel 10 manage IL.
VIM. H. Evarts seems indeosive, II not aetu-
ally hestating and reluctant. At the opening his
manner to-day WAS remarked 40 In painful con.
trast TO his customary easy self.possession and
consciousness OF mastery. A lawyer who has
known Evarts intimately for twenty years, told
me that he never saw him appear nervous or
fdgety at Tho opening Of case before. He said
that this was The greatest law case ever tried in
any country; that 1t would outlive any other case
in history and that Evarts was evidently ve,y
apprebensive that he would have TO figure as
leading counsel on the losing side.
Clerical Error st0ughson
was the only cheerful member OF the Hayes
counsel. But, a. my friend observed, probably
stougbton was glad TO be employed in 30 cele-
brated case on either side.
The presentation of the Democratic case was
most ably made by Field, aud the Republican re-
tonder by ksHson was universally voted feeble.
He fell back on the old fashioned plea OF intimi-
dation, which WAS the beginning and ending OF
his argument. His plea TO Tho jurisdiction of
Gov. Drew as being er post fdoto will be met by
the rule that the unfinished business Of an out
going executive must always be transacted by
the incoming one; that this rule is not disputed,
and that II applies to business imperfectly or
wrongfnlly transacted by the outgoing exeou.
tive az well 40 to that not transacted at all.
The Republicans are terribly dospondent on
all hands, and II ia by no means improbable that
the muddle may be settled by throwing out the
vote Of florida. The general range OF specula-
tion here tonight 10 ia this direction, There IL
very little probability that 1t will be counted for
Tildsn. II i, tolerably safe TO predict that the
chances are as five that Ii will be thrown out to
three that II will be counted for Hayes.
