NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2s.-Before the COM
mittee to-day, ]. M. Jewett testified as to the
contradictory testimony of Houser about
Blanchard and himself, relative to their going
to Governor Kellogg's house with the returns
and working on them there. The reason why
the registration books were taken to the Gus
tom House was because the evidence to which
both parties referred was in the Office of the
United States Supervisor, and why the regis
tration books were taken to the Custom House
was for a similar reason. The Supervisor of
Registration was Clerk Of the Circuit Court
and had his Office in the Custom House.
FL. q. Brown, a discharged employee of the
Internal Revenue office, testified That Harris
Marks told him some time last summer at his
private office when they were alone, that be
could not take care of any Of his own friends
whilst this fight was being made on Kellogg
that he had appointed ours to keep them from
squealing on Kellogg. Paul Trevigne, clear
ance clerk in the Custom House, testified that
Mllon came to him very indignant at the ru-
NOR that he (Milon) had made affidavit
against Kellogg and got him to write a letter
to Kellogg denying the rumor.
Million signed the letter which was put in ev-
idence yesterday. The contrast of signatures
showed that Milon did not sign the so-called
affidavit. .-...
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-J. t. Allyn,
Manager of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, was recalled. Senator Hill stated
that kilograms produced by him before the
committee, appeared to belong exclusively to
Kellogg. When the witness had been re-
quested to produce all kilograms to and from
Kellogg, the witness answered hat he had
complied literally with the written demands
served upon HIM, which said all tele-
grams to VIM. P. Kellogg. Senator Hill then
requested the witness to produce all kilograms
from kellogg. Witness replied that it was
impossible to do so, as all May and June bus
mess had been shipped to New York last
Tuesday, by order Of Superintendent Merri-
wether. Senator Hill asked if this had been
done to get the dispatches out of the way OF
the Committee. The witness replied that it
might be, as the policy of the company was
not to expose the business of its customers il
it could be avoided. The Chairman asked
if the witness did distinctly understand him tc
direct the witness to bring all kilograms tc
and from Kellogg. The witness replied, ever.
bally, yes, sir, but your written instructions
t said only all kilograms to Kellogg" The
chairman said he had intrusted the prepare
ton of written instructions to Spofford's coun
!, sci. Senator Cameron said that although
the witness was no lawyer, he evidently hat
, intelligence enough to know that a writer
order supercedes all verbal Instructions.
: Chairman-I desire to say to you, Mr.. Wit
ness, that you escape only under the letter o
the law, and you have violated the spirit o
+ law.
a When the committee returns to Washing
ton it will place the matter before the full
y committee, and will expect the TELEGRAPH
a company to produce those messages.
