A CLAIM OF £400,000. 5. He {8 understood to have been sont to New Or- Jeans Lo make some Snquiries in bohalf of the Department in relation to what {s kuown as the DAILY GOTTON CLAIN of 81,000,000, In thisctaim J, Madison Welle, of the Returning Board, has a largo direct or Indircct interest. This Intercst s open and avowed. The amount of the claim is 81,000,000 It s understood that the attempt will be made to show that theletters of Wells which Maddox 18 in possession of were written to him with solo roference to this $1,000,000 claim, and that out of these letters, and the fact that the clalm was for $1,000,000, this wholé conspiracy bas Leen started. although 1,000 ne&ncu certalnly, and an'un- known number above that, were foduced by money or fear of starvation (d re- fraln * from voting, the _total number of votes cast was 9,230, and tho Democrats carried the county by the nstounding and tell- tale majority of 38,2351 S8imiiarly startling In most of the counties were the clunges as com- I»nrcd with tho census of past elections. Every Jemocrat with whom 1 hiave talked since clee tton-lay has something of this mort tg eny: “Why, the negroes at my precinct repeated and yoted their minors on & tremendous scale; for thelr total voto was almoat as high ns cver hefore, although we kept away flity or sixt from voumi and got about a dozen to vota witl us. Why, I carried ouo negro to the polis my- relf, and’saw him put in his ballot all right, and his two brothers stald at home all day, for told* them if thoy voted agalnst us I woula turn thom ofL.” ‘The ballots were undonbtediy counted faitly at the polls. Through Gov. Chamberlaln’s in- fiuence, one Democrat and two Republicans had been appointed manazers nt overy precinct, ‘Tho Board of County Canvassers, appointed to aggregato the returns for cach county, was sim- fiarly composed. But In complling the vote the{ ‘mnde somechanges of the preeinct retirns} for Instance, the nanies of sorge candidates ol each party had been imfsspelt on the ticket by country printers, and in scveral casea candidates runulng for certaln oflices had l’iymhmko re- ceived votes for other offices. The presinet- managers returned the votes as _cast, but the County Boarda credited the candidates really Intended to be voted for with the crro- nceus votes. 'The returns wero awalted amld the most Intense excitement. They wero exceedingly closc, but at last it beeame appar- ent that, according to the precinet-returns (ex- cluding the Barnwell box where tho voting was interrupted), tho Democratic ticket waa ahead, But presently It was ascertalned that the re- turns of the Board of County Canvasscrswould put the result tn deuh_:i and’ that, 1 the Barne well box were received, the Republican ticket would prevafl. This caused wild excitement, for tho Board of Btate Canvassers, composad of the Secretary of State, Attorney-General, Stato Treasurer, ctc., has power to decide when there are varintfons n tho returns, a8 well as to de- termine contested electlons; and, of course, the Republlcans contested Kdgefleld an Barnwell—the latter, becauso the Democrats ha carried the county through tho exclusfon of the votes at the poll, svoften re- ferred to by tho County Uanvassers—ns well as Laurens County, whera foul play was alleged, ‘The whites bad great distrust of the State Board from the start, for it bad been s corrupt body always, and @t present {s not above suu- fclon, Lesides tho fact of all ite members being lepublicans, and half of them candidates for re-clection. \Yhen the Board met, Democratic counscl ap- poared befora it, and, although the above-named owers Wera undoubtedly conferred on it by the aw, and had been excrelsed without. quektion for cight years, the Board's authority under tha law to hear contests was objected to, the consti tutionality of the lawas constituting It wero ubfi:cu:d to, the right of tho mem- bers to it was objected to, ond, In short, evcrything wos ob{ccted to on con- temptible quibbles {though It must be owned that the wnan who drew up “our Election laws might have made them clearer).

Witneas having been interrogated ralativa to & telegram sent Gov. Wells iinder the assumed name of C. M. Calvert, sald It was understood between him and Gov. Wells that If the repre- rentatives at Washington falled to bring the muney, then witness was to use his own iudxz- ment in the negotiation, and give the roturns ns they were made in New Orleans, and that ho rhould commence second negotlations. The word * hold” {n the telegram to Gov. Wells sinificd he was to hold the returns in such a situntion as to make thein avallable at will. Tho first nego- tatlon falled, Gov, Wells stated to witness that ho wanted for himself and Gen, Anderson AT LEAST £200,000 AvIECE, and a smaller sum for the darkles or negroes of the Returning Board. When tho wituess re- turned to New' Orleans he had a conversation with Gov. Wells about the fallure of the ne- gotiation. Witness recelved n dispatch from Col. Plckett, saying the negotiatious had falled; whon o, Wells suggested that witness ent deavpr to make romng arrangement with the Democrats. \Vitneas made an_effort in that di- rection, but dldn’t succeed. The fdea of wit- ness was, from what Gov, Wells sald, that ho would thirow out votes to the bLest advantage, in order to ‘Imducu o cortaln result, which would depend on circutnstances. Mr. Lawrence crogs-examined Maddox, who sald that [n his interview with Secretary Came- ron he told tho latter that Gov. Wells wanted $1,000,000, but the Seeretary DECLINED Lo have un&lhinz ta do with the proposition, Mr, Flold remarked ho saw Gov. Wells pres. ent, making privato observations.

This was before witneas left for New Orleans In Itls capacity ns revenue ofticer, Ho was satisfied Col. Plckett told him he had written Col.

The witness then testl- xll,-;.dku‘r':xln continued business relation with Col. icKed Mr. Lawrenco sald he nsked the questions to show there had been o varlety of transactions between them, sud this was part of a general consplracy to ralse money, regardless ol the means by which 1t was to be done.

Such 8 stepcould not bo taken without Ufs onsent. It was his purposc to REMAIN QUIRTLY IN TilR BASTILE until the 4th of March, when ho supposed he would be certified to the court, and released on Lail. He would not now say what would be the tenor of s statement bofore the Committee. His contempt was thus far confined to his re- fusal to deliver up tho papers before the Ree turniog Board. Perhaps this would exclude bun from the privilege of making any state- ment before the House Committee.
