Mr.. Leete, recalled. In the cen
sus of 1875 1t was deemed advisabl,
to swell the census of the coloret
people as high as possible, SO tina
the basis Of registration could bt
high, as every colored man wa,
understood to be q Republican
The Democrats ignored that censu.
as q fraud. Witness was told tt
find large Republican census
meaning large colored contingent
They told me, said witness, to fiji ne
them, no matter how. did. The
lowest count which was taken In
my parish showed AN increase Of
whites and decrease of colored
people.

MORGAN CITY, La, April I2, 1877.
Private. My dear sir: 1 have
your favor of late date and am
pleased to hear from you. Marks
has my passes to use csming home
but will send to you as soon as I
get there. l hope he will be ap-
pointed but don't expect 1t nor any
thing else that is decent from
Hayes. With Louisiana his policy
appears to be to send Packard away
and turn over everything else to
our enemies in the party who will
insure Democratic success next
fall. For myself, in my district, 1
prefer to have such people against
me. III l conclude to run I can be
elected without patronage. 1 prefer
that. I suppose M. did what
lie could, but they evidently don't
think you will do any thing. Your
letter, taken with your sworn ev-
idence, directly duplicating s., M.
and FL, is valuable. Use it
discreetly, but don't spare them,
except M. They are the most un-
mitigated scoundrels 1 ever
meta miserable, shypocritical,
psalm-singing, cold-blooded set,
whom it would be do
ing the country a kindness to
expose. Write me fully but be dis.
Greet. Send papers to Mrs. ID. If
you can without trouble. Am glad
Laura is better. We both send
love to her. Write often.
Truly, etc.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 15.-Wil.
son Childress, Fountain Banks,
Octave Louve, and Aaron Carter,
were hanged to-day at Donaldson

1st of numbering Narciss e. Arve-
lsaux, on the night of the 9th of
December, 1875, at the store of A.
Colemb, on Landry's planta-
ton, below Donaldsonville. Ar
veaux was white man, sixty
years old, and, at the time of the
murder, was In charge of Colon bis
store. The testimony of A. Win
ters, the only witness of the inur.
der, shows that Arveaux refused to
give the negroes drink, when they
all assaulted him, beating his head
almost to a jelly with scale weights.

The FUtter Inquiry.
NEW YORK, Aug. l5:-John A.
Leoter, of New Orleans, continued
his testimony before the Potter In
vestigating Committee to-day. He
said: When Anderson called OIL
me, after coming from East Fell
ciana, he told me he had carried
out the programme as 1t was we'll
understood between Kellogg, An.
derson and myself. The program me
was to keep colored Republicans
from voting. Each man had pro-
gramme OF his own. 1t was thought
best to excluds colored Republicans
from their vote, so that the Re.
turning Board could throw out the
whole Democratic vote of the
Parish, if necessary. The Re-
publican party was de-
moralized then and would have
been beaten. Anderson went
back to East Felecina and peace
able election was held. Anderson
told me that he did not mean to
make any protest until he found
out how the land lay. Kellogg
urged me to do what l could to get
Anderson to make protest.
The attention of the whole
country was being concentrated
on Louisiana. and Kellogg said it
was highly important to get pro-
test out of Anderson before some of
Tilden's emissaries arrived there
and bought him up. l advised
Anderson not to make any protest
at all. Anderson and | agreed that
the Republican party was de-
feated, and . We were sor-
ry for Hayes, Tut glad
| tUdt dChuIu was 0CitdtCos
We agreed, however, that though
defeated, the Republicans would
get in. In an interview with Kel-
logg, he said that no matter what
Anderson would do, he would
count the State in favor of Hayes.
We agreed to Kelloge's plan
to count in Hayes. L knew
very we'll that Sherman aud the
visiting statesmen had come down
there 10 steal the State. l knew
they were after Anderson's protest,
so that, after committing himself,
he could not go over 10 the
Democrats without perjuring him
self. There was n glorious
prospect for Anderson, and / know
that he could get anything he de-
manded for his protest, which would
cause the vote Of East Feliciana for
