WASHINGTON WITNESS.
AT :42 O'Clock Joseph L. Pearson, of Wash
lnslon, ID. e., printer, was called. He teSti-
fed that he saw Mr.. McKenna, an officer OF
the electoral commission. who gave him either
original or copies of electoral certificates to
print; was to envelope what printed and ad-
dress the same to the members of the electoral
commission; sent the same by two of my boys
10 deliver in person at the residences of mem
berS.
Witness was shown printed copies of docu-
ments, which, he said, to the best of his knoWl-
edge, had been printed in his office.

Testimony OF ex.GOv. Packard in
Louisiana.
The Louisiana subcommittee met at New
Orleans in Parlor P, on Saturday. Ex-Gov-
ernOr Packard testified that the returning
board showed that Mr. Hayes and he were
elected He (WitneSS) was declared elected
by the legislature, which consisted of a quo
rum OF both houses, viz: 6S members of the
house and 19 members of the senate. In his
(WitneSS) opinion his title to the gOvernOrShp
OF Louisiana was as good as the title of MI
Hayes to. the presidency. The same leglsa-
ture which declared his (witneSs) election
elected Mr.. Kellogg United States senator
The senate recognized that as the lawful legiS-
ture and there were more members present at
the second days session, when his (WtneSsD
vote was declared, than on the day Kellogg
was elected. His legislature had been recOg-
nlZed by Gov. Kellogg. Witness was ouSted
because OF the presence of an armed mob
which he believed was nnder Gov. Nichols. He
had an impression at the time that the Har-
lan-MacNeagh commission was sent to New
Orleans to break up his legislature. Could not
express an opinion as to the Presidents inten-
tiOn. Had no recollection of any member of
that commission having approached him re-
queSting that he withdraw from his office.
Had the President acknowledged his title. he
believed he could have maintained his govern
ment without troops,
