Hon. Wm. NJ. EtartS, Seeretary Of Stale
WashinytOn:
Notwithstanding that Mr.. Jamel
E. Anderson, carpetbagger, Of New Or
leans, is an applicant for Consulship
and that he would like letters from those
who know him, l take the liberty to en-
close this 10 you. i am the person who
attempted 10 rid the State OF him lasi
Fall. See his testimony before the Con
gressional Committee in New Orleans
Being, unfortunately, unsuccessful In my
attempt, the people Of this State look tc
you,for relief, and with one voice implore
you II you have any vacant Consulship Al
any earthquake shaken point, any cholera
infected city, any yellow fever point, OF
any smallpox.ridden community, or any
vacant commissionership TO the fercest oi
our Indian tribes, to send him 10 one oi
these places at once, because We consider
the said Anderson person who has just
sufficient character TO serve the party that
pays the most money, and Of 4 class oi
patriots who can best serve their country
By dying for 1t. Hopeful Of an affirma.
tive response, I subscribe myself

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20. 1877. !
10 Hon. r. B. Hayes, President:
As friend Of yours and one who earn
estly desires that your whole administra.
tion may be eminently successful, / ask
you to withhold the appointment Of
james E. Anderson as Consul to Funchal,
who falsely represents himself as coming
from Ohio. He Is blowing around among
his acquaintances in my presence that
he will feather his nest while he 10 in
Office. The general reputation he has
among all who know him is that he is
lacking in one redeeming quality. Who.
ever recommended him didn't know him
evidently. His testimony before the
Louisiana committee is sufficient con-
demnation Of the man, as he tried TO sell
out to the Democrats and did everything
that was low aud dishonorable. / will
see you further about It II you wish and
show you and give proof Of what l say.
Yours truly, la. STRAIGHT.
Endorsed.
Executive Mansion. To Anderson
J. E. J. A. Straight protests against
his appointment as Consul at Funchal,
and states that his reputation Is not
good. Can furnish proofs Of what he
asserts. Respectfully referred to the
Secretary Of State. By direction Of the
President. May 90, 1877.

The chairman stated that the original
electoral returns, SO far as they proiessed
to be original, had been compared with
each other and with copies printed In the
volume known as The Count Of the Elec.
toral Vote, and that 1t had been found
that the certificate which had been before
Congress and before the Electoral Com
mission, and which was called No. ], was
the certificate first executed and bearing
the genuine signatures, and where there
was but one list OF electors and not OF two,
that is. where they voted at the same
time for President aud Vice President;
that il was also found that the certificate
which contained two sets Of electors, that
is, where the President and Vice Presi-
dent were voted for separately, and to
