ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., July 27.-Ex-Congress-
man Morey resumed the witness chair and gave
it as his impression that if the Packard govern
ment had been recognized in the first place,
Kelloggs government had been, and had the
President said he intended to maintain the
Packard government and given to it the neces-
sary moral support, there would have been no
trouble in maintaining it.
The witness incidentally said he had one OF
two interviews with the President, at great
length, during which witness argued that
the withdrawal of the troops from New
Orleans and not maintaining the
Packard government would be the destruction
of the Republican party in the South. The
President took the position that the Republic
can party could no longer maintain that policy
which had lost New York to the Republican
party and the party had become weaker in con
sequence. Therefore the good of the Republi-
can party demanded change. The President
treated the subject of national concern.
Witness said so far as he knew no returns had
been thrown out by the returning board on in
adequate and insufficient proofs. There was a
movement to make Nichols Governor, even to
the extent of violence
Gen. Butler interposed, saying: 'And in
this Nichols had the aid of the President and
the McVoagh commission
The witness remarked: l wish, gentlemen,
you would distribute these questions among
others.
Gen. Butler-We have been asking many of
them because it is so rare that we have an hon.
est witness.
Witness-There are many of them if you
would only look after them l find the people
of Louisiana as honest as anywhere.
Mr. Hiscock-As in Massachusetts New
York
Gen. Butler examined the witness in regard
to the proofs and atfidavits laid before the re-
turning board.
With reference to Eliza Pinkston being
brought into the room of the returning board
on sofa, Money said such conveyance was a
matter of necessity, owing to her wounds
This was not designed to produce strong
impression on the board. although it naturally
had that effect.
Gen. Sypher was recalled by Hiscock and in
terrogated concerning the alleged Sherman let
ter. Hiscock repeated the question asked
Wednesday, namely whether there was any
thing which enabled him up to the time he
saw what purported to be letter written ano
signed by MIR. Sherman, to carry the form Of
the latters hand writing in his mind, and also
read the answer then given by Gen. Sypher
namely " No, sir, l have not the form OF his
writing in my mind now and have not seen i
frequently since. / would not swear to his sig
nature now"

taken place. and that Gov. Noyes must hav
