Samuel 2. Butler, correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette, was called and sworn, and
questioned in regard to an interview between
himself, Anderson and Mrs. jerks, published
in that paper In February, 1877. Anderson,
he said, opened up the conversation in gen
eral way and Mrs. jerks then stated why she
had come here. She said that she had not
come here to bulldoze anybody, but simply in
the

Sherman and had been treated very coolly,
and that when she mentioned the names of
some Louisiana people it operated upon him
like red rag upon bull.
When reference was made to the Sherm an
letter she said either that it was in safe
keeping in New Orleans, or in safe hands in
New Orleans. In the course of the conversa-
ton Anderson said that everybody seemed to
know that Hugh Campbell had forged the
iurat to his (Anderson's) protest, to which
Mrs jerks gave an unqualified assent, say
ing that she had heard so.
William E. Chandler was recalled. He pro-
duced kilograms sent and received by him
prior to his departure for and during his stay
In Florida. A number of them are in cypher,
and Mr.. Chandler stated that he sent copy
of this cypher to Gov. Kellogg and Capt. A.
e. Lee at Columbus. Quite @ number Of the
dispatches have heretofore been made public,
particularly those to the Governors of the
close States exhOrting them to look sharply
needed to secure Hayes election.
While in Florida he received the following
WASHINGTON, D G., --
To W. Z. Chandler, Tallahassee:
I hope you will remain In Florida until the
vote Of the State Is decided. U. s. GRANT.
The remainder Of the kilograms submitted
are of no importance.
In reply to Mr.. Cox, witness stated that he
knew of no Republican frauds in Louisiana
or in Florida at that time, although charges
that such frauds existed were made. He also
said that the $4,000 received by him from the
National Republican Committee were handed
by him to Gen. Martin, chairman OF the Re-
publican Campaign COmmttte, and were dis
bursed by that gentleman In procuring evil
dence.
In reply to q question by Springer as to
the assistance rendered him In Florida by the
employees of the United States government,
Mr.. Chandler said that he was assisted by
Judge Alfred E. Martin and Messrs. Tidball
and Henderson, all special employees of the
POstOffice Department; &. I'll. Camp, in the
service of that department in Florida, and E
w. Maxwell and Col Pinton, detectives Of the
United States Attorney Generals office. He
thinks there were some others, but he does
not recollect their names. Mr.. Chandler was
interrOgated concerning the letter addressed
to him under date of December rs, 1877, to the
Republicans of New Hampshire, and said
that it was political pamphlet, and that the
facts therein stated were correct.
In reply to Mr.. Butler, Mr.. Chandler said
that at the time he was in Florida none Of
| the facts testified to by Capt. Dennis yester-
day were told him, and he did not know of
them until about two months ago, when Den
mis- came to his house and told him about it.
Chandler then gave list of the persons by
him recommended for office, and appointed
