ANALYBIS, SIPTING ANDRRSON'S TESTIMORY. #Boectal Dispetch to Tha Tribune. Wasmnaron, D, C,, June 8.—Scarcely a dozen persons {n Washington, outside of the ring of Democratic consplrators who sct up the Anderson sensation, knew in detall to what he had aworn or the exact tenor of the documenta he produced, unti! to-day. Lven the Republics an counsel, who were present at the examina. tlon, wero in ignorance of many important facts until this morning, owing to the Impossibility of hearing the witness clearly where they sat, and the further fact that nothing was printed here at length 11l to-day, and for some points 1t Was niccessary to awalt the arrival of Now York papers st 1 o'clock. An examiuation of Ander- son's statement, which has sloce been made, Rocs far to confirm tho previous belief that it Is part of an infamous conspiracy. About the lutters of Benator Matthows and tho contracts previously placed in his band, to-morrow Rep- resentative Danford, who was in Loulsianaas n member of tho House Committee Investigating Elcctoral matters, will testify, it the cross-ex- amination of Anderson is finished in time, that Anderson talked fully with him in New Orleans in regord to affalrs, and not only aflirmcd the correctucss of the proteat which he now denles, declaring the existence of fraud and intimida- tion {n East Feliciana Parfah, but went on to ex- vlain further that he was then engaged in set- ting up A PLAN TO TRAP THIE DEMOCRATS by pretending to deny his protest and the ex- Istence of frand and intimidation for the pur- pose of inducing tho Democratsto offer 1o brive him, and, when he caught them in this way, ho then intended to expose them, and o destroy their case in Loulsiana, "It is understood that Judgo Campbell, of New Oricans, who has been subpenaed, aud before whom the Anderson pratest purported to be sworn, will testity that Auderson made oath to it In the cxact shape fo which the Returning Board used it, und in which it unow appears fin print. Becretary Bherman, upon sceing the verbatim report of Anderson’s account of thelr futerview in Now Urleans, absolutely denfes it. The Trosident also doclarcs that, while Anderson came to sco him fo rezard to sn appointment, every part of bis testimony which bears a con- struction compromising him is manufactured, "Fhe official record of the action taken {n Ander- son's case, as it appears at the Btate Depart- ment, relleves the President from the whole force of Anderson’s sttack. The records show that Just as he was appointed Cousul to Funchal tho Presldent RHCEIVED INFORMATION AS TO I8 STANDING in Louisfana, and that he Immediately—namely, on the 26th of May~-wrote to Bccretary Evarts directipg him to withtold Auderson's commls- slon. Anderson now pretends that ho refused the place offered. If hio did, it was subsequont to the virtual revocation of his sppolotmiont. An erroncous statcment has been made that he was afterwards nominated to the Scnate for a poaition upou the asscmbling of Coogress fn October. llo was never afterwards appolnted to auy place. MINISTER BTOUGHTON has boen sent for to testily in rezard to an al- Jewed Anderson and Wober Interview o the restaurant lu New Orleans. Maj. Burko will be called to expluin his alleged offer to Andersou of $4,000 and the $1,800 posttlon for four years, ‘Tnis Is belioved to be part of the scheme totrap Democrats, which Auderson told Representa- tive Danford he was engaged upgn. Astotbe slleged copy of ll‘?nnllegod Bher- man letter which Auderson produced, the strongest presumptive proof sgaioat it, outslde of Becretary Bherman’s evidence, lice fn tho fact that in all Anderson's atiempts Lo secure office rom the President, Sherman, sud Mat- thews, ho never once alluded to this letter, and does not even clatm that he did; although be swears that It was in. gnswer Lo & mote from Weber and himself, asking Sher mau, to whom they were to look for tho [fulfilment of promiscs lohad made of oftics, aud was procured bee cause they were not fled with verbal prom« acs of positlon. Yet when he came here to claim his office he never so much as once mea- tloned the existence of this letter to the Secre- tary, tho President, or Mr, Matthews. ANOTHER WACT in this connectiou carries much weight, nomely, that Anderson swears that when be arrived here shortly after tho fuauguration, and applied to BSherman for sn office, Sherman preteuded not to recognize bim, and told hios he had no place for bim, sud would not help bitw to otlice elthor o tho Btate Department or sny other Depart. ment. Even then be aidn't mentlon thoal- leged Bherman Jetter, With many these facts alone dispose of this alleged letter, GOSN, BUTLER'S THEOKY of the Sherwan letter is ingenious, although 1t may Dot be correct. Tho General says that thero can be no doubt of Weber's devotiun to the Republican party, and of his desire to pro- mote the success of its candidates; while An- derson was evideatly a soldler of fortune who was waiting for sometbing to turnup. Avder- son fnsisted upon having a written guarantes from Sherman. ‘Weber, who felt that his life was not u ¢ Lis Loulslana howe (sad his subscquent assassination showed how well founded were bis apprebonsions), sent to Sher- man and asked him if he and Anderson migbt depend upon belog provided for if they were exiled from Loulstans for coumsclence sake. Meanwhile some assert that Sherman hiw- sc!f has the original, having purchased it from a{female relative of Wenor after e was as- tassinated, and at the proper time it will be eeen that a cunning forzery Is the corner-stoue of the cousplracy Investigation. SENATOR KELLOGO, in conversation to-day in regard to the Investi- astion of the Potter Committee, sald that s faras Louisfona fs concerned the Demacrats will ind their gun loaded for plover, and need not be surprised I 1t reeolls and Kicks fts owner over. Kellogg says he will bo able to tuke care of Louistana, and if the Democrats have no hetter case in Florida than they have {nbis Btate they must ark the Lord for mercy. THE PRESIDENT tolay, referring to the recent interview pub. lished in Tus TrinuNeg, fo which he declared that hie stiould maintate his authority and pro- tect the Preeldency at all hazarda, sald that he had then no thought of being interviewed, but the report as o whole was correct; that he did not complain of it, Headded: * 1 thinkthe paosition I advocated is the correct one. At auy rate 1 propose to adhere to ft. The dental,” continued thy President, In answer to a ques- tion, “came from some of tny friends, who thought 1 had been ratler free In expressing tuyself, but I never denied enything In the pub- lication, and I never asked anybody to do it for me." The President sald he did not want tobe interviewed on the subject, but, while he pre- ferred to bavo nothine more sald, he did not objeet to the publication of the statemeut of what has preceded. e stands by the sentl ments of the interview, and'Las never author- ized n deninl of the facts. DEMOCHATIC CONDEMNATION OF ANDERSON. ‘The maneging Democrats have bLeen o good dealdisturbed to-day over the discrediting of An- derson as a witness by the Now York iVorfd, one uf tho principal journals of thosc advoeating fnvestlization. The” Worid of to-day, In com- menting on Anderson’s testimouy, says: ** It is unfortunate for Anderson that he seems to be a speculative apocalypse, so to spesk. Ha begau his operations by sending under feigned initinis to a New York newspaper docunicnts purportiog to have been found fa a scaled envel- ] ope, the property of a dead iman, which had been opened by mlistake. This dchut cannot be truthfully described as a recommendution to public confidence, and as the general tone of Mr. Anderson's corre- spondence shows him to have very carly con- celved an accurate idea ol the volug of what ha colls *documentary evidence,’ and to have very carly shed any scruplées he may ever have hal ae 10 thu ways and means of sccurlng such evi- dence, Judicious people will be slow to sceept any conuciusion aa to the guilt or innocence of any hwnan being which rests either on the un- supported evidence of Mr. Anderson, or cven ‘documentary evidedee’ supplied by him alone.! THE ALLEGED SHERMAN LETTER. ‘The Republivans would have been perfectly satisfied with thelr casc so far s the atterpt of the Democrats to fix any lmpraRerlfl. upon Becretary 8herman Is concerned, if ho had been able to remember that he wrote the letter, or it it should appear that he did, and it s only Anderson’s statcments which aflixes anvihing improper to the wrlting of such a let- ter.

Huch promises and sssurances were eutirely proper under what was then aud {s now the bellef of the Republicans, that the protests -~ of Anderson and \eber wero true, wnd that men who discharged such duty as they had did it at the perll of their lives, and deserved well of the party to which they belonged; and that it was proper to promlse protection and support. Yhere Is noth- ing that even suggests anything corrunt in the alleged Bherman letter,evenifithad been written Auderson's {nterpretation o! it, in view of his general falalfications, is worthless, and so the llcrubl(eflun belle Even ([ the Democratic clalm of the suthenticity of the letter be grant- ed, 1t establishes no e:s0 arainst tha Sacretary.. ‘The firat paper which Anderson aworc ho placed inthe hnrfiu of Senator Matthows {s cither ¥ A PORGERY or as thoroughly discredited as it it were forged.

Terry, commanding the Departmeat of Dakota, which contains his refutation of the fairs a8 to the demoralizing effuct of the pres- ence of troops among the Indlans, {s an extraor- dinary document. The circumstances which re- sulted In the report are these: Last December. Commisafoner of Tndian Affairs Hayt informed that the presence of troops at the Indian Agencles had demoralized the Iudian women, and that the Indian women were bitunily debauched by soldiers. Commiasioncr Hayt cislmed to have evidence that one-half of the hsll-nreeds at Btanding Rock Azency are the clilldren of soldiers, Gen. Teery resented this, and, alter repeated re- quests, ordered sn fnvestigation. Commission- er Hayt meanwhile had declined to produce the proof, notwithstanding the request of Gen. Terry hud been made known to him. Col, Car- bin, in command at the Standing Rock Agency, wis CHARGED WITH TIE INVESTIGATION, He consulted with the Chict and leading men of the four bands of Indiuns, tho Cathollc pricat, snd the teachiers. ‘The priest, Father Jeroma Hunt, answers, as to the schiool uunder lis charge, that there are eight half-breeds, all children of civilians. He knows of no immoral rclations between the soldlers and the Indian women, The lady in charze of the girls’ school reports five balf-breeds, none of whom are the. children of soldlers. Col. Corbin himself had interviews with ull tho Chlefs at the Agency. Running Antelope gave the names of a great many half-breeds which were the children of the EMPLOTESOF TIE INDIAN AQEXCY. Mad Bear sald that the reason there arc so few children under 8 years of age is because theyare compelled to eat 1ood 8o bad that it kilis the children, Mad Bear sald: **'Yhe Great Father provides us much money to feed us, but the Agent bugs food for us which white people would throw away. The flourissued last spring killed not only women and children but grown men. Ibelieveit would kill cven hozs. We date the aecrease of ths number of chililren from the tlme certaln Agcots took chargs of us, As 8 general rule, the Agency employes have kept Indlan women, as also the employes at the Trades's store.

Of this nutnber frum one to fiften are the offspring of soldiers, Thero are_sixty-two full-blooded” children of Indians under 8 years.

Col. Corbin charges W, T. Hugbes, Indian Agcnt ot that Agency, with having made tho ac- cusation to tha Cominissioner of Indian Affairs, and suys, “ I can pay with confidence that (1 the troops were not present at this Agency Hughes would ' not live here one day. The Indians would either kill him or drive him nway re- grardless of consequences. They complain now beeause the military do not selze the Agency and protect themn from robery by the Ageut.' Uen.
