she said specified definite offices which were to be
given TO Anderson OF Weber. or both, and men
toned the Deputy Colectorship of the Port of New
Orleans. The first draft was made by the person to
whom the second was dictated. She said that MI
Webber was not the person to whom she dictated
the Sherman letter. As she left the stand she
turned to Mr.. Haley, whom the Democrats have
called for the purpose Of cOntradicting portion
of her testimony, and who is very deaf, and said
Mr.. Chairman, are there any more halt and lame
and blind to bring here to put me DOWN.
Mr.. Haley's story, which he was allowed to tell
to-day. was that in several conversations which he
had with Mrs. jerks during her visit here in the IN
terest of Governor Packard She spoke of tho
Sherman letter, and said that it was in little iron
safe in Ncw-Orleans 10 be delivered only to her IN
person. When she left Washington she said that
she had received letter from her husband which
made it necessary for her to go to New-Orleans.
Mr.. MOVES ANXIOUS TO BE HEARD.
The Republicans will insist upon taking up the
Florida case tomorrow. Ex-Governor Noyes has
been in Washington now nine days waiting to be
examined, and it is very important that he should
return 10 Paris at the earliest moment.
The Democrats seem not to be very anxious to
enter upon this portion of the inquiry and it has al
ready been suggested that it is not after ALL neces-
sary that Ex-Governor NOyes should be examined.
lie himself will not agree to any such arrangement
as this. He considers that he has been terribly
outraged by the passage of resolution through
Congress declaring him to have been guilty of lille
gal and fraudulent acts, and he proposes to have
his vindicaton complete. He will therefore insist
upon being placed upon the stand and it Is under
stood that he has interesting papers which he
will present to the committee. Histestimony cannot
occupy much time, as the subcommittee, during
its visit to Florida, failed to find particle of evil
dence to sustain the grave accusations contained In
the preamble of the Potter resolution.
The investigation of the Florida case, If 1t is
thorough one, will demonstrate not only that the
State was honestly carried for the Republicans, but
also that attempts were made by the Democrats to
secure the defeat of Governor Hayes through brib-
cry and fraud.
THE VOTE OF THE PELICIANAs.
Two members of the Louisiana subcommittee
Messrs Stenger and Reed. have left Washington for
New-Orleans, aud Mr. Blackburn expects to follow
as soon as his health will permit Nothing is known
as to the length Of time which is required to COM
plete the investigation II the weather should be
very hot the two Northern members of the COM
mttee may find 1t very incOnvenent to remain.
The Republicans intend to prove by testimony, to
be taken by the subcommittee, that the Republican
vote of the Feciana Parishes was destroyed by
intimidation.
Ex-Governor Kellogg who was in the committee
room to-day asking to be examined in order that he
might 60 about his private business says that he
has no documents in his possession in relation to the
Returning Board, no protests, promises or assur-
ances given to any one in fact anything in the
remotest degree bearing on Anderson's connection
with the visiting statesmen or his application for
Office He denOunces Anderson "a a rascal, and be-
heyes his only purpose to have been to blackmail
prominent men in order that he might get an office.
General Thomas G. Anderson, one Of the members
of the Louisiana Returning Board arrived in WASH
ington several days ago, in answer to summons of
the Democratic members OF the committee. His
testimony will refer chiefly TO his action as messen
ger of the Electoral College of the State. and viii
probably throw new hight upon the points which the
Democrats are STRIVING 10 elueidate. He will swear
that when he presented the envelope containing the
electoral votes TO the President of the Senate r.
Ferry the latter refused to receive II because II did
not have the proper Endorsement, and that there
upon he took il back TO Louisiana in order TO have
these Endorsements made. 1t is not probable that
he will he able TO give any explanation of the man
ner in which the subsequent certificates were pre-
pared.
