WAsuISoroS. Feb. ll.-Thcrc We're some
Inaccuracies in my despatch on Saturday night
about Kcllogg's confession At 1" the use oi
money to secure tho return Of the Hayes cleo
,ors from Louisiana was mistaken IN saying
that the money was originally raised in Chicago
on n note drawn by Kellogg and endorsed ny
Chas B Farwen The money ,$2uUVOl was
raised in New Orleans. 1t was needed when II
was discovered on Nov 80 that. although by the
polls and parishes rejected up to that time all
the Republican state officers and ma
t,r,tv of tho Republican candidates for
the Legislature had been counted in.
three of the Hayes electors were still ont. and
that II would require from 700 to 900 Democratic
yo,ea 10 be thrown out to bring them in II was
necessary to get UP some additional protests
and so-callcd evidence to give the Returning
Board n colorado pretext to throw out part OF
the votes returned from the parishes Of Cald-
well. .Calahoula. iberia. Livingston Nachitoches'
Richand and Tangipahoa. TO give the three
Hayes electors majorities over their Democratic
competitors To pay for this vllainy. f2Oooo
had TO be raised Immediately. II was borrowed
in New Orleans and two Of the visiting states
mon became surcties for H. One Of the two
was c. Il. Farwcll OF Chicago. Sub
scqucnty to repay the 100000 bor-
rowcd in New Orleans. the money was
obtained from tn, Union National Bank of Chi
cago. OF which Mr.. Coolbaugh was President.
Mr.. Coobaugh was Democrat. and at the time
the money was obtained he did not know that it
was to make good money borrowed In New Or
leans. with which perjured testimony was
bought by the visiting statesmen II was pure
" business transaction on his part. Tho
present officers Of the bank tell tho exact truth
whom they say. The bank never loaned any
such sum, nor any sum, big or little. TO Kellogg
or any member Of the visiting statesmen at that
time. Kellogg never signed or endorsel more
