THE ADMINISTRATION ToorINa THE
BILLS.
"rhen, II understand you correctly,
the administration has paid ON this judR-
ment against the Returning Board, for
the payment of which your property
was seized BY the Sheri fl, seventeen hum
dred and fifty dollars 2"
Eyes, sir; after pleading and begging
for s-venty-five days l wormed out OF
the ADMINISTRATION this amount"
"How much will still remain uppaid?"
1.-THE balance or the judgment unpaid
will be thirteen hundred and seventy
five dollars, besides the costs of court
and the Sheriff's costs, which will
amount to perhaps thousand dollars
"Who do you expect will pay all
this?" ~
al can't tell; but according to the ar
rangement made with Mr.. Uullom. who
received the seventeen hundred and fifty
dollars, 1 arm expected to give security
forts payment when I get home. When
was incarcerated in the basement of the
Capitol, IN 1876 (where l was confined
thlrty-three days, involving the loss of
time and Injured eyesight, and compelled
TO defray my ewn expenses and recei "
ing no per diem), for refusingSo swear
falsely about the Louisiana returns, an
Ohio man told me that "Hayes was only
third-rate lawyer and the damnedest
fraud and hypocrite living" This gentle
than did. If, however. the same re-
mark was made to me now could ex-
press hearty concurrence"
cAsANAvE COMPLAINS
"YOu seem to have been badly treated?"
"Yes, sir; have been. bave suffered
both socially and materially. For my
services In 1872 received State warrants,
which l negotiated at heavy discount.
In 1876 received no compensation what
ever, but was dragged from my home and
business to Washington and confined
thirty. three days in the Capitol, as l
have stated, and afterwards incarcerated
In the parish prison in New Orle ans, and
when was discharged here, in company
with others Of the board, went to the
S-rgeant-at-Arms,J j John g. Thompson,t to
inquire what provision had been made
for defraying our expenses and to ascer-
tain how We were to get nome. We
were politely to by that dignltary that
we might walk home. My present visit
been here over three weeks. If part of
this judgement falls upon me, which Is
now probable, II do not what tho whole
of my outlay will be. Heretofore my
standing aud credit have been good, a.
any hon prable man In New Orleans who
knows me will cheerfully testify. My
business was prosperous and profitable,
Anderson and Returning Board mat ers
l have peeu prOscribadin various ways"
"Have you received anything In the
way of compensation for your services or
exp nses from the administrati M"
"No; nothing whatever. Yes, mis-
take; did receive something. On the
Sd of Mach 1875. when the Returning
Board mem bers were set at liberty from
their imprisonment in the Capitol, we
called on Mr.. Hayes, who was stopping
at Mr. Shermah's on X street; he received
us with gusil, and invited us to take
petit sand wicd and a cup of coffee. This
Is the extent of bis fayors to me. My
relations to this administration have been
like the tailor of Campillo who worked
Abr norhisg and found thread" 5
"Mr. Casanve, when do you expect to
return to your home in louisiana"
81 hope to shake the dust of Washing
ton from ma feet within the next twenty
four houis, and not to return until this
| adml nistration, which betrayed the Re-
publican party of my State, shall have
terminated Its infamous existence"
