Judge Levissee, of Louisiana, practicing
attorney in this city, was sworn. Judge
Levissee testified that he had been offered
by one Asher 500, 900 to cast his vote as
an elector for Tiiden. Asher was the only
person who had spoken to the witness on
the subject. Another person named john
son, formerly sergeant-at-arms i'll the Lou
llama House of Representatives, called on
the witness at his lodgings, and not find
ing him in. left a note stating that he,
Johnson, desired to meet the witness at a
certain hotel the next morning on i'm
portant business, but before that
hour johnson called at witness lodging
and made arrangements with him to meet
Asher at l O'Clock. The ladies of the house
told the witness that they were under the
impression, Judging from the conversation
and manner of 5ohnson, that he was de-
sirous of making a bargain with witness to
change his vote, and stating for their
reason in so believing, that a remark was
made by Johnson, the effect Of which was
IF / was in Levissee's shoes / would make
one hundred thousand dollars out Of it,
johnson, the witness he said, was intimately
acquainted with the ladies of the house.
Mr.. McMahon here produced a note, and
witness recognized it as the one left by
johnson when he first called. Continuing,
Levissee said: Asher was previously cashier
of a bank in Shreveport. At the time in
question, he was in New Orleans transact
ing private business. Mr.. McMahon re-
auested the witness to state as near as he
could remember the conversation between
himself and Mr.. Asher regarding the trans

some preliminary rem arks Asher asked
him if he would be willing 70 accept a
round sum, say $50. GOO. or $40. 900, to re-
fuse to accept his certificate Of election as
an eicctor :?
1t is said that if the Senate shall concur
in the House amendments to the bill rela-
tive to the payment of awards, under tie
Mexican and United States commission, the
result will be to require Mexico to con
sent to a rehearing Of $40, 000, 900 of
claims against her, which were rejected by

VIZ. Matthews Explanation Disap-
points His Friends.
New York. June G..
The Worlds Washington special says Of
the scene in the Senate to-day: Matthews
explanation disappointed his friends. 1t
was read from manuscript, and spoken i'll
a manner entirely different from that in
which a sensitive gentleman would have
repealed an unjust aspersion. The explain
alton was made in a coarse manner. The
speaker was extremely nervous. Viewed
IN the light Of a denial of corroborated
statements, Matthews explanation is a good
case of special pleading. 1t is generally
considered that the Senator was too hasty
in his denial, as he is unaware of What adj
ditional testimony may be given against
him. Several Senators expressed the opin-
ion that the purpose Of his move for a SEN
ate Investigating Committee is to get in
possession Of the Republican documentary
evidence before the Potter Committee.
The Investigation al Florida.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla. June 6.
The subcommittee arrived this morn
ing and will the investigations
at once, holding a session this afternoon.
A few witnesses are already here, including
Secretary Of State Bloxham. A messen-
ger was dispatched to-day for McLain, who
can not arrive for some days. 1t is doubt
full about the committee going to Tallahas-
see. Secretary OF State Bloxham appeared
this afternoon and produced four precinct
returns and two returns Of Baker county,
showing a majority for Hayes by throwing
out two precincts. The second witness,
Cox, testified that be made the first men,
toned canvass for Tilden, which was the
only correct one, as ho had the original
returns. 1t is tho opinion Of General
Hunton tonight that the committee will
be ready to start for Washington on Mon
day. They will not visit Tallahassee. II
Congress adjourns On the 18th, the report
will not be ready for this session. 1t is
believed that the foundation was laid to-
day for IN extended Examination into
Baker county affairs, and giving other
counties like prominence. The Demo-
cratic members, however, decline to dis
close their plans.
A~nderson's Testimony Exciting
Great Attentioa.
CHICAGO, June 6.
The Inter- eedn's New Orleans cores
pendent says that Anderson's testimony
excites great attention. From here he will
be proved a perjured liar. 1t will be
proved that he signed his protest upon the
day Of his arrival in New Orleans, Novem-
Der 10, 1876; that ii was lone in his pres
ence, and from his own lips, and that in
November last ii was on file among the
records Of the State in its original condi-
non and without interim cation. Ii is a
question whether the records Of the State
have not been tempered with in aid Of the
Iilden plot. Many Of tho moat important
documents appertai1ing to tho election of
SIG were missing from the office OF the
Secretary Of State. These include various
consolidated statements from the buildosed
parishes; all OF which passed into the Gus
tody OF the Nichols government
Pltkln leaves tonight, to give testimony
IN Washington. which will be disagreeable
to the Democrats. One gentleman here
will, it is alleged, testify that he was Of
fered $40 900 by 1flden's agents to testify
falsely in this matter.
