ANDERSON AGAIN., A DAY OF TROUULE FOR THR CIAMPION LIAR AND TEIJURER, Special Disatch ta The Ty dune, ‘WasmiNotoN, D. C., June 1L.-—Gen, Butler made o watcrhaul to-day on the Buulds Buker matter. In the cross-cxamination of Post Oflice officlals this moruning, 1t appeared that Baker, at tho time he scnt the tolegram to Licut.-Gov. Young at Columbus, was an otliclal in the Post-Office, having been nppointed under Gen. Grant, upon the recommendation of Sena- tor Morton and the Democratic Congressional delegation from Texus. DButler's entiro polnt waslost by this proof. Anderson was cross- examined this morniog, and o basis apparcntly lald to.prove that the siguaturc of Wober to the Weber-Anderson agreemoat was forged. it "sre uu- derstood to bo of the oplnlon that the words “andD. A. Weber " were writteu In the acknowledgment afier the signature by Ander- son. Anderson also sworg bie never saldl to any- vody that the anlleged Sherman letter was signed by Btoughton; yot ex-Congressman Darrall Iater teatiled that Anderson several times told him that Stonghton’s slgnaturo wae appended ta the document, Anderson will find it ditiicult to explain why he recelved $350 from & Democratic politiclan nimed Wedge at Baton Rouye at the timo ke made out his return with- out protest. Tho purpose of the cross-cxamioa- tlon sppeared to-day n foundatiun to prove that be rccelved $850 because he did not file the protest. Anderson Las coustantly testifled that the purposeof the Republican couspiracy was to have vo election in Fellclana Puarish, yot an original letter from himscl( to Licut.-Gov. Autoins wes produced, showing that Andcrson was nctually orgsnizing tho negro vote for the Republivaus. Ex.Coogtess- wan Daresll held the stand throughout the afterncon. Tho Demoucrats expected tu make much of him, Darrall, however, proved MANY THINGS WIICH THE DENOCRATS WOULD JAVR DESIRDD KKPT CONCEALED, o conclusively proved that Tildeu had early Knowledge of this revolutionist consplracy. Darrull appeara to have been willing to use whatever documents Anderson had a3 s mosus to sccure tho (nfluence of Btanlo? Matthews o fuvor of Darrall’s own sppointment .as Collector of New Orleans. The drift of the cvideuco was to show that, bad Darruil been appointed, the Anderson docuinents inight hsve been surrendered. Darrall positively swore that Auderson told him the alleged Sherman lotter was also signed by Stoughion. Stwuley Matthows cxpressed to Darrall the oplufou that thero was no Bhernan letter, and thus Anderson had uo papers he feared to have publiahed. Darrall brought out the fuct thet a Democratle Seoator bad informed Stanley Matthews that Sypher, the attorney of Audurson, had taken the documents to New York and OFFERSD TUEM TO TILDEX or his sgeuts, and that Titden had declinod ibem, with the statemunt that they were not worth the purchase. Mra. Jenks also spoke of the Bhorman-Stoughton Jdocument. In Dar- rall's examiunation Gen, Butler showod his hand as an active attorney uf the Democrats. Ilo ssaisted McMahon In bringing out testimony on the Democratic side. Darrall atso testificd that Anderson had supptied Benator Conkling with coples of these documents, This ruuior, so often repestod, bss et last found its way into Darrall aleo showed that Chalrman Potter liad knowledge of this watter early in tho winter, and talked with blm about the Bhermsn-Stoughton’ sgreemout, Potter seomed pacticularly dedlrous to huve Darrall teatify that e (Potter) did nut seem to ‘bescting as Tilden's agent fof the purchase of Anderson papers. To this Darrall replied that, ontho contrary, Potter did uot seem at all friendly to Tilden—a statement which Chalr- wan Potter could bardly bave detired to bave made so promiaent st this time, when he ex- pects Tilden's belp to muke him Goveraor of New York, COMING 1O TIN LIZLP OF ANDBRSON. W. H. Soymour, the Notary Public before whom the Anderson-Webes agrecment was ac- kuowledged, sud A. J. Wilder, ove of the sub- acribing witaesses, srrived lere to-night. Sey- mour io copversation says that ho bas not scen thedocument now {o the bands of the Cominlt- tee, and said to be tbo one Anderson gave to Mattbews, but that be took the acknowledg- went aud remembers that both Auderson and Weber were present. 1t this is so, Weber's sigosture must Do genuioe. Wilder says he also remembers witnesalug the signatures of Anderson and Weber. Both men ssy they sbail sustalo Auderson’s testimony. Goorge Dicks, the other witness, will be hero to-morrow. 3rs. Jenka is dally expected, and & dispatch from Packard indicates that be will also be hare to- sorrow. The {nvestization is getting Hvcly. 4 MANLY DSFPLANCE. Alexander H. Stephens yesterdsy wrote 8 Toug lotter 10 the Chairmsa of the Democratic Exccutise Committee of his diateict which con- tains somo striking statements.

ANDERION AGAIN, WastixetoN, D, C., June 11.—The Commit- teo Inquiring into the alleged election frauds in Louisiana aud Florida resumed its session to-day. Chalrman Potter had read a letter to Stanley Matthews, accompanying the subpawmna, stating that it was not the desire of the Committes to {nterfere in any way with Mr, Matthews' duties ssn Senator, and that thers would be every digposition on the part of the Committec to muet his convenicnes In respect to the time of s attendance.
