John L Davenport roturned to New York this afterncon on the train leaving hers at half-past 1 o'clock- He was before Mr. Caulfield’s Committes abouf an hour, but mada vory little progress with hix explanation of the money paid to him from tha Department of Justice. He had scarcely en« tersd upon his connected story before members of the Committoe began asking questions, some of them evidently for the purpose of obtaining nformation, others to enforcs 6ome point agaiost the witness, while in other cases tha questions wers of the bullying, brow- beating kind sometimes heard in the police eoarts from fourth-rate lawyers, Tha Committees as a whole ssom disposed to be fair, and to treat the sabject with dus consider— ation. For the most part it may be truthfully 8aid that they have ’ NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT about which they are asking questions. It bes comea evident to-day that-some of the members,. if they had ever read the Election law, are nowt entirely ignorant of its provisions. The in- quiries in many instances, therefors, seemed like questions that might be propounded to an expert in mechanics by some persous that neven saw amachine. Oneortwoillustrations will bettes explzin the point. Davenport had explained Liow. after the registration had closed, .he badl sent the Supervisors end Marshals to houses ine the city to search out tbe people registered, andt see if they actually lived at the places fromy which they had been recorded. There had beent a good deal of testimony upon this point, whichl ended in the discovery by the Committeeman that the calling at residences to ascertaim whether certain persons ,registered wera livins at the numbers given was in accordance w‘n& the law, and was necessary befors warranta could bs issued at all. Then the. Committea found that Mr. Duezggnn ‘was entitled to a o€ of 31 each for tho 1, warrants issued. % E BARNEY DISCOVERS SOMETIING. Here was another opsning, into which the acute Mr. Caulfield immediately rushed wids the utmost delicacy. Ho asked Afr. Davenpors if it wonld not bo possiblo on the suppositions that his office was filled by a dishones: man, for, fivo or g1z men to bs zent around to register i .| various voting districts a great many times im i| order that the Commissioner might issue his warrants, and get Sl apiece for them. Canl- field was greatly surprised at Davenport's re- | ply that a Chief Supervisor could nok carry on such a conspiracy as_that withont the: if ebaolute certainty of speedy detection. When il it was expldined that a large number of Super— visors, both Republican snd Democratic, would necessarily have to be in the conspiracy, Mr.. Canifield declined to press the point that the fraudulent registration was done in order that warrants of arrest might be issued for Sla piece. 4~ Then Mr. Cochran, of Penmsylvania, ques- || tioned Davenpart very sharply to know why h: had not gone befors the courts with bis! evidence concerning the frsudulent charac~{ ter of the registry, and cause the. names which he knew were wrougfully ‘ont the fist to be stricken off. Cochrane asked A GOOD MANY NOTNDABOUT QUESTIONS before coming down to the point, which reveal if ed tho fact that he was demanding of Daven- port to know why he had not acted in the Citw; | of New York in sccordance with the Election! 4 1aws of the State of Penueylvania. Mr. Conger, the Republican member, whe ‘| watches the investigation closely, asks very few quostions. He 18 likely to have something to #ay before Davenport leaves the stand, bub soems in favor of giving his Democratic col= leagues a good deal of rope, of which thewy promise to make excellent use. ’ Mr. Davenport's atatement to-dsy begsn with an account of the fraudulent Daturalizatiom business, and he exhibited a large buadle o!lx;m fraudulent papers which he bad secured ] time to time, with the aflidavits attached, made; by the holders, shoming how they had come inte -possession of tho papors. The Committes in quired closely as to the metbod in which Daven-« Port was paid for drawing theso atfidavita, and¥ found he had charged fees where he was en- | titled to, but kad pot drawn those which wers voluotarily offered withont compensation. Wit~ i nexs explained more fully HOW FRAUDULENT REGISTRATIONS WERE MADE, persons giving as their -residonces the numbers: of stables, of lumber-yards, of vacant houses,; ete. Thirty men were registored from one smal houge on Hudson strect. Hesbowed how, byy his block-books, these frands wers detected snd! the voting prevented. Yha specimens of block— books were carofully examinod, and the ques— tion how they were paid for was anawered that thero was abill in the Comptroller's office for. extraordinary expenses, in which the last: of thess 3,000 wmall bisok-books was charged. The methods by which frauds wers prevented in 1873 were fully explained, and theissue of warrants for the arrest of fraudulent voters was very sharoly inquired into. The satne subject will be pur- sned further at the nexi meeting. (To the Assocuated Press.} ‘WasursaroN, D. C., April 22.—John L. Dsvens, ort, the United States Supervisor of Election at; New York, resumed_his evidence to-day befora< the Committes on Expenditures of the Depart— ment of Justice. Ho explained the frands com- mitted nnder the form of nataralization, and his . method of discovering them. He was paid for the work of preparing afidavits in several cases of fraud, as any other Supervisor wax paid. He iesued warraots in 1872 for 1.200 persons regis« tored, balieving that they had no existaoce. Ade journed. —— BRISTOW AND JEWELL.
