Revolution.
WARRINGTON. June lin the After
session OF tho Potter Committee.
Congressman Darrall named the principal
applicants for Collector Of Customs at
New Orleans. He believed nobody was
pushing Smith THE appointee, except the
Returning Board. Smith Was. however.
. man with . good record. He had met
Senator Matthews frequently and Mat.
thsws took an interest In tho Collector
ship. Matthews after an interview with
witness authorized him to say to Mr..
Packard that Packard would DO acceptable
TO him. although previously he had Bit
terly opposed Packard. Witness testified
at some length regarding tho status Of
Matthews regarding Louisiana Affairs.
He said this Is . very peculiar Admins.
%tration. Both himself and Matthews DO.
lieved, up to two or throe days Of the nom.
ination OF Smith. that Packard would be
nominated, and witness was satisfied with
Packard, as no would have been satisicd
with himself. Two weeks before Mat
thews assured witness that the President
favored witness very strongly. and that he
would endeavor to influence the President
for witness. Hs remembered Mrs. jerks
being here and she claimed 10 have Sher-
mans letter. She had told witness she
wanted TO help Packard |; that the Admin
istration didn't seem to consider tho
claims Of Louisiana Republicans. and she
might assist Packard with . letter or
agreement which she had. A week or 81
after this interview Mrs. jerks published
Q card saying she never had such . lotter,
and Sherman denied its existence. An
derson told witness no had Q copy OF this
document. Matthews had denied the eI.
istence Of papers derogatory TO him, and
that no did not care TO take them up.
Matthews thought there was no Sherman
letter In existence. This conversation was
In March, 1878.
Mcmahon handed witness Q letter In
witness's handwriting. by means Of which
he fixed the date Of the conversation Ut
about tho 18th Of February. This was
the letter Of Darrall to Anderson, giving
an account Of an interview with Matthews,
who, he said. had spoken most fAvorably
about the writer receiving an appointment
and expressing tho hope that this would
suit Anderson beat. as Matthews wanted
Anderson satisfied. He assures Anderson
that II he gets the place he will appreciate
him.l Witness was sharply questioned
about his anxiety and Matthews anxiety to
please Anderson.
The letter from Darrall TO Anderson.
dated February 27th, was read. saying the
writer's prospects were good that Mat
thows and the Cabinet wero favorable and
promising. and requested Anderson 70
write or telegraph anything new.
Darrall said shortly after this letter was
written Anderson told him he had some
pspers which, II printed. would sound
very bad to those concerned. Subsequent-
ly witness was informed that Anderson's
attorney WAS negotiating with Tilden and
his friends for the publication OF these
damaging letters. Witness wrote Ander.
son urging him to act In good faith and
10 tako these letters from his attorney.
Witness had not then seen Matthew let
tiers, nor did he know Of them.
Mcmahon then read the following from
Darrall 10 Anderson, dated March 3:

Three days later he expressed . lear that
Wells would 70 In for Packard and make
trouble.
Witness being asked what the influence
OF Wells and Anderson Was In regard to
these appointments, said up TO this date
the only persons nominated were such ~
they had recommended. They had pre-.
vented the nomination OF Packard and
himself and secured the nomination Of
Smith. That was his opinion.
On April 2ist Darrall wrote Anderson
that IL was certain Smith or Leonard
would be appointed, and the Returning
Board were Tor Smith, which helped him.
