cost much, and might be made as efectual az

An Offer EOf &25O.OOO to Gov. Wells
to give the Vote of Louisiana to

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-A special from Cincin-
matt says: A letter received here from warm
personal friend of Gen. Anderson and eX-Gov.
Wells, of the Louisiana returning board, con-
talnS some facts in relation TO the means used
to secure the vote of that state for Mr.. Tilden,
which have never before been brought to light.
Pending the decision of the electoral commits
from the north, representing both parties.
Prominent among them was Mr.. PetOn, who
we understood TO be the immediate personal
representative OF Gov. Tilden. Mr.. Pelton
brought with him drafts to the amount OF
$22.Go, and Immediately began his
EFFORTS TO BUY THE RETURNING BOARD.
Gov. Wells. the president of the board was the
first person approached. He was offered
$lOO,0OO; $4,000, and finally 100000. The
money was to be placed in any bank subject
to draft contingent upon certain results Gov
Wells said he would take 1900, 600, but he alone
must be trusted the money must be placed in
his hands. If he returned the vote for MI
Iilden, it should be hiss he failed, he would
return the money to the parties from whom
it was received. Those were the only terms
he would treat upon, and the gentlemen seek
ing an honest count fearing a trick, deter
mined to try Gen. Anderson, and State Sena-
tor Robertson was chosen as the avenue of ap
prOach, and through him the same offer of
$250,0OO, contingent upon the result, was made
to Gen. Anderson.
ANOTHER FAILURE TO NEGOTIATE.
The latter took time to consider. but failed
to meet the appointment he made with Mr.
Robertson to give his decision. and when Piled
further declined to carry on the negotiations
These statements came directly from Cover
nor Wells and General Anderson. Governor
Wells says he gave ear to the offer with the
hope of drawing Tilden's representatives into
a trap.

Unwritten History Of the Electoral
(Onnf.

The New York .Sun of to-day prints Wash
ingtOn dispatch under the heading " Southern
Democrats betraying the Democracy" which
says that. on Sunday, December Sd. 1876, Mr..
Hewitt had an interview with President
Grant, during which they talked over the
political situation, and President Grant eX
pressed his views with great frankneSs. He
had doubts, he said, as to the result in I.ouisi.
ana, and intimated that il was his private
Judgment that the electoral vote of that state
should not be counted at all. He was careful
however, to impress upon Mr.. Hewitt that the
decision OF this and all kindred questions was
wholly outside the province of the Executive
Ii belongs exclusively to Congress. 1t would
be his duty, however, to see that the decision.
Whatever 1t might be. was acquiesced in. If
necessary, he would enforce it, He stated.
also, that 1t was his conviction that the COnsti
tuition gave the President of the Senate alone
the power to count the votes and declare the
result. Whoever might be declared President
elect by the President of the Senate, he would
see inaugurated and installed in Office Mr.
Hewltts return from this interview at the
White House was awaited anXiOusly by a
number Of prominent democrats, who had
gathered at his rooms. After he had told his
story Lamar, Gibson, and Tucker held a con
sultation apart from the others, and subse-
guently, on that same evening, MIR. Gibson told
Mr.. Hewitt that they would be compelled to
sustain that construction of the Constitution
which invested the President of the Senate
with the power to count the electoral votes
and make the declaration Of the result"
