from Our Regular Correspondent
WAsHISGToN, June The investigating
committee to-day was in secret session until
half-past O'Clock examining the Louisiana
electoral returns, and discovered sundry
other ugly features in regard to the forgeries
OF Judge Levisee's name. For instance, in
the proceedings OF the Electoral Commits
sion the original paper No. is published
twice and the forged paper is not published
at all, so that what is published as copy Of
No. ! is correct, but what is. published as a
copy'of No. is not correct, buta duplicate
OF No. 1. .a
WHY THE FORGERIEs HAD TO BE PERPE-
TRATED. 3. 3-s
The Constitution ARTICLE XII, amend
mcnts] requires that the. electors shall make
distinct lists Of all persons voted for as Pre-
sident and of all persons voted for as Vice
President. The law requires [Sect1on 1870,
Revised Statutesl that the electors shall seal
up the certificates so made by them and GER
tify on each that the lists Of all the votes of
such State given for President and of all
the votes given for Vice-President are con-
tanned therein. The genuine Kellogg certi-
cate No. did not comply with the above
constitutional requirements. Distinct lists
are not made out, but only one list. Neither
did this Kellogg certificate comply with the
law above named There was no certificate
upon the envelope. To cure these detects
one constitutional, the other against law
the new Kellogg certificates are manufac-
tured-certiicate No. 8 and No. 8 dupli-
cate. These were in due form OF law, but
were forged. They we've laid before the
House, referred to the Electoral Commits
sion, and embraced in the opinion as though
genuine. The forgeries Of Levisee's name
in eight different places is admitted now.
PRESIDENT HAYES RESPONDS TO THE COMMIT
TEE.
Mr.. Hayes, in response to request OF
the committee, furnished all the letters and
papers in regard to Anderson's application
for Office in possession Of the State Depart
partment. One OF these letters was an ap-
plication OF all the members Of Congress
from Louisiana and Kellogg for Anderson's
appointment as consul to Callao, Belfast,
&c. Another was signed by Nash and OAR
rell, One was from Stanley Matthews, who
said there were reasons Of high importance
why he should be appointed. He was
also recommended in strong letter by
SteubenviIle, Ohio, editor, who said
he was n good Republican, tirst-rate young
man, and had aided in saving Louisiana for
Hayes. There was letter signed John w.
Bulldozer, who urged Mr.. Evarts to send
Anderson where the cholera, smallpox, or
earthquakes would rid the world OF him.
A man named Straight urged that his az
pointment as Consul to Funchal be can
celled, and the President wrote through his
secretary to withhold the commission, if it
had not been delivered to Anderson, until
the charges could be looked into. The fact
is that these letters showed that the Radi-
cal congressman were carrying out Sher-
mans bargain to the letter, and that Stan
lev Matthews could not have been more in
earnest in behalf OF brother than he was.
4 STIR IN THE SENATE OVER THE LOUISIANA
PAPERS.
There was quite a stir in the Senate to-
day growing out OF the demand OF the
House investigating committee for the LOU
isiana electoral papers. Mr.. Edmunds Of
fered a resolution directing Mr.. Gorham to
furnish the papers asked for, when Mr..
aoar objected to its language, saying the
rapers were the property of the. Senate and
of right remained in its custody. Mr.. Ed
munds concurred in the opinion expressed
by Mr.. Hoar, and consequently was willing
to modify his order accordingly. Mr. Bay
ard took an opposite view OF the matter,
and thought the papers should be sent.
Mr.. Thurman, too, did not think they were
the special property of the Senate, and was
for complying with the House commit
tees demand. Messrs, Blaine and Conk-
ling thought they ought not to be sent
unless the House as q House demanded
them. Both these senators were OF the
opinion TINT the papers were the property
of the Senate and under its control. MIR.
Whyte, of Maryland, commended that while
the papers were the property OF the Senate,
it was only question Of etiquette after sll,
and he was for sending the papers. Tho
result OF the debate was that Mr.. Gorham
was directed to take the papers to the com
mittce, but to keep them in his custody
Now, Ben. Butler says all this fuss about
senatorial privilege is mere fudge; that be
'has tested it and summoned a senator to ap'
pear before House committee, and that he
came, too.
