The Potter Subcommittee.
EXAMINATIuN OF GOV. PACKARD.

NEW ORLEANS, June 30 The sub committee
of The Potter committee heard the testimony Of
Governor Packard to-day. 1t rehearsed the pro-
ceedlngs of his election to the governorship Of
Louisiana by the people. and its confirmation by
legally elected and consttutionally organized leg
stature, the same legislature that elected Kellogg
to the senate of the United States and he Pack
add claimed that If Hayes title to the presidency
res ed upon the electoral vote as announe ed BY the
returning board of Louisiana, then his (Packard)
title to the governorship was equally correct. The
only reason he was obliged to give up the govern
orship was because there was an armed mob in
the streets which with other influences induced
several members of the legislature 20 go over to
the Nichols organization, was sustained by Mr..
Hayes.
fack ard believed the Harlan Nc Veagh commit
tee came to New Orleans to break his legislature,
but had no evidence except common rumor, that
pecunary or other means were used to that end
lie received no replies to the letters he wrote to
President Hayes.
Packard said if the president had recognized
the decision Of the returning board he could have
NAMED his government without the aid OF troops
which aid he had been notified by Snifen, the
secretary Of Grant, would be Withdrawn, he had
however only $50 muskets, and needed over 2aOo
to cope with the Nichols armed mob.
The committee adjourned to Monday
Packard sails for Liverpool on Tuesday.
