NUMEROUS CONTRADICTIONS.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June H.
The ss-eXamination of Anderson
was begun to-day and was conducted
by Mr.. Read. The examination was
confined to that portion Of the direct
testimony relating to the election in
East Feliciana and the conduct of
Anderson,as Supervisor. The witness
made a most humiliating exhibition
in numerous cases where his testi-
mony of Saturday was at variance
| with that given before the Senate
committee of the last Congress, de-
liberately admitting, without any
attempt at defence or explanation,
that the statement made by him be-
fore the Senate committee were not
true in point of fact, and were made
for the purpose of deceiving the COM
mittee. He was closely questioned
about the Nash agreement, in which
he stipulated to suppress evidence,
showing that the parish Of East Eel
iciana was fairly carried by the Dem
Ocrats, Nash agreeing, in cOnsde.a-
ton of such extraordinary service, to
secure for Anderson the position of
Naval Officer at New Orleans. An
dersOn admitted that he had no evil
dence Of fraud to suppress, bat he did
not expect and did not want to be
made Naval officer, and enticed Nash
into the agreement in order that he
might have a hold upon him for
future operations.
He was also questioned at length
with reference to his statement made
November 10th, immediately fol
lowing the election, and upon which
statement the vote of East Feliciana
was thrown out by the Returning
Board. This statement sets forth that
in consequence of violence and in.
timidation there was not fair and
free election, and that all the Repub-
lican voters were SO inundated that
they were kept away from the polls,
and only one Republican vote was
cast in that parish. In his direct
testimony Anderson said that this
statement was mot sworn to by him
as set forth, and that many Of the
statements contained therein were
interpolated after he had signed it..
In his testimony before the Senate
committee he said this statement was
copied from draft prepared by him,
that he had carefully read it over,
and that the last paragraph he wrote
with his own hand before signing it,.
In the same testimony he narrated
with considerable detail numerous
Outrages perpetrated. This testi-
m0ny was to-day read to him and
contrasted with his testimony of
Saturday, in which he said the cleo
ton was the most peaceable and or
derby he ever beheld. He made no
effort to explain the discrepancy, but
boldly declared that his first testi.
mony was not true, and that it was
given for the purpose of suppressing
the facts, in accordance with the
agreement made with Sherman at
New Orleans, and which agreement
was the basis of the alleged letter of
Sherman to Anderson and Weber.
His admissions to-day throughout
the entire examination were of the
most damaging character to himself,
and places him entirely beyond the
full exhibition Of moral turpitude no
