WASHINGTON, July Is.
In tho. examination of Ex-Governor KEEL
logg before the Potter Committee, on Sat
urday, the following additional evidence
was adduced The witness, in answering
questions, said Governor Packard visited
East Feleciana shortly before the election,
and told the witness it would probably be
lost to the Republicans through intimida-
ton. 1t was reported that many negroes,
with bands and flags, went to the polls and
enthusiast tically voted the Democratic
ticket the witness did not know this it
may have been a fact that the Republicans
stood around the polls, and whea invited
to vote refused, because they had no
printed tickets. Anderson was the only
man who said to the Democrats that if
they had conciliated the negroes their par
ish would not have been thrown out. An
derson protested according to fact, and,
although he now denies it, yet he never
theless did make q protest, and his denial
is probably made for a consideration.
Witness explained at length the objects
which the intimidation hoped to gain, and
said that they were determined to over
come the negro majority, as it had been
done in other cities. They endeavored to
conciliate in some instances, but their con-
ciliation was usually of the shotgun kind.
