'J'ho witnona, in the courte of hi convcrsation with Halstead, to!d him that what oould be doue would be dono to cavo the H'ate, remarking to him that " whatever horee loses, om norse wíub." Halstead gavo him a oaled let( ■■! of introdiiction to Gov. Hayes, thecontenta of which he was iguorant. His interview witli Gov. Haycs was of an exceedingly pleasant character, and he learned that the Governor entertained the most friendly feolin;; toward the South. The witncsB told him that the State mnst be saved, at all hazard, to the Demccratd, and that whatever he threw over would in that rettpect be of tho leat value to them He also told the Governor that they 0 ml'l esbb&Bb oí how a vote of 1:1,000.

I was speakiug with several partios- Mr. Poster among others - and the question of letting down the Packard pooplc easilytume up. Then the eomnnssion, with a nisjority of Republicana tuit, was uggested. Maj. Vining and othors said it was a "capital idea." The idea' was that tho commission, sanctioned by the President and Sucretary of State, would mate the Bepublicind in Louisiana yiold andgivetho State tö the Nicholls Government. It was we!l understcod that the coramission was uuder oflicial instmetions. Q By Gon. Butler - Then yon lootod tiie commiasion coming down theie as a farce? A. We)l, not exactly. Q. But, no matter what tho evidence and stste of factswtre, the commission had to como to a predetermined conclusfonV A. Yes, Bir; we uuderstood bo. Q. It was determiued that ono goyernment was to be let down easy? A. That s it, oxactly. The witness faid the only assurances they rootivod that the Packard Government would be lot down ensy were from MTatthews. Fosfor, flarfitld, Denison, and perhaps Evarts John E. Léete, a former tax collector under Kellogg' adminiatration in Louisiana, was tho noxt witness. He testiñfd tht iu the census of 1875 it was deemed advissMc 1 v the líepublicaus to fcwell tho census of colorcd pooplo as high as posible, so that tho basis of registration could bc as high, as every colored man w&s understood to be t Republicau. The Demócrata ignored that census as a fraud. Wilness was told to find a large Republicau ceusus, nieaning a large colored contingent. They told me, said witnees, to fiud them, no matter how I did it. I refuset to do so. The examination of Johu A. Léete was continued on the 15th. Ho said : "Wheu Andersou called on mo, af ter coming from Easi Feliciana, ho told me that he had earried out the programme, as was well understood between Kellogg-, Anderson and myself. The I programmo was to keep the colored Republicana from voting. It was thought beiit to exclnde the colored ReDublican vote, so that the Rcturning Board could throw out the whole Democratie voto of the parish if necessary. Anderson wout back to East Feliciana, and a peaeeable election was held. Anderson told me that he did not mean to make any protest until hc found out where the land lay. Kellogg urged me to do what I could to get Anderson to make the protest. In au interview with Kellogg, ho said that, uo matter what Anderson would do, he would count the State in for Hayes. We agreed to Kellogg's plan to count iü Hayes. Anderson told me that be andWeber had an interview with Sherman, and that Sbcrman had promlsed them everything. I told Anderson that he was an unmitiqated lunatic to believc in anything but a written contract. An other day ho calied on me, and said : " I've got it." 1 replied, "What have you got; more I taffy?" He said, " No, (ir;'l've got them flxed." He pulled out a letter acd said it was from John öherman, and was a letter giving him the Navai Oince. He showed me John Sherman's name at the foot oí the letter, but refnsed to let mo seo the remainder of the letter. I had a tilk with Darrall and Kellogg about that letter. Kollogg saU the letter was only a general one and noncommittal. Kellogg and I considered the count of votes fiuished hefore II was begun. I spoke with Darrall bout the Sherman letter, and he said it gave no grip to Anderaon on the st&tesmen. John A. Léete was again bcforo the committee on the lCth. He read several letters from Kellogg, one of vrhich 3 as follows: Willard's Hotel, Feb. 35, 1H7Ï. Deak Lvetk: I reeeived jour otter.

Buch a wonder cou'd only occur in sncli a woudcrfnl couuiry as this, and only once in ICO years. ' All's wèJ! that ende wel!.'' Wllaiever betidee, we have made a heap of historv, such as it is. Vbenever you go into another State Couventlon, vote rlght. w. K Kei.i.ooh. Another letter was read, alluding to the witness, who eaiü: "That applies to me. That was the time when I was detailed to watoh jou (Potter) when you were on that emimittee, when yon got away wilh Phelps and Foster." Mr. Potter - I never niet with two more houorable men in my life. Your statements are a mistake. Leete- Well, we thonght they were very soft, and I was detailod to see aftér you and find out how yon got aronnd them. No witnksses were examiaed on the 19th. Clei!. Butler called a'teuüon to the refusal of Stanley Matthew to appear and teLtify before the committee, acd moved that tbc faet of bis service with a subpeena and bis failni'o lo come before the committee be tntered on the minntQ3, and tbat this committee report hiin to the IIoiiso as kcing in contempt. ïi;c motion was unanimously adojited. ÜENERAL. Tus thirty-Becond annual session of the Supretne Council of the Templarsof Honor was held at Janesville, Wis., last week. A largo number of representatives were proeent from various part of the country. A decisión has been rendered by Attorney General Bevens and sent to the Secretary of tho Interior, iuvolving an important legal questiou in granting letters patent. It is to the effect that whei'ever letters patent are given out in tho muñen of several individuals, when in fact bul one ia the inventor and the others hold only an interest by ausigument, they are absolutely void, and eannot be rendered valid by any act of the parties or the Patent Office. Tbis opinión is of great importanee to patcutces and manufacturing companies under wliat they believe to be exclusive privileges, for when a grave error of thie character occurs at the outset, anda psriod of two years intervene bef ore the defect is discovered or a correct aplication for a patent is submitted to the Patent Bureau, the iuvention becomes publio property. . .
