After our report of the proceedings before Potter's committee closed yesterday: Judge Hugh J. Campbell was examined. He was judge of the@ourth district court in New Orleans in 1876, and was in Marshal Pitkin’s office when Anderson’s affidavit concerning intimidation by democrats in East Feliciana parish was produced. It was not in legal form, and he drew up a paper from it; bui Ander- son subsequently had some compunctions about filling up that form, beeause the matters to be included were not entirely of his own personal knowledge. He did not distinctly remember having administered any oath to Anderson, but he thought what purports to be anamended protest might have been drawn up or dictated by him, (Campbell.) Tf he ad- ministered any oath to Anderson, his signa- ture would be found upon the paper. He spoke ef the arrangements under which the affidavits were n le by the supervisors of election, but nothing important was elicited. Anderson's protest, he thought, could have been legally made in New Orleans, as it was not safe for him to attach it to the returns in Feliciana, and the formof protest was made to meet this emergency. He was an ear- nest republican, and f the vote of the State depended upon the Feliciana parishes. He saw Mr. Sherman in New Orleans during the progress of the count, but the subject of Anderson’s protest Was never mentioned be- tween them. He did not see any protest re- garding West Feliciana from D. A. Weber. He understood from Pitkin thai the latter had a stormy scene with Anderson, and that Ander- son had demanded back his protest, because he was not satisfied with the assurances re- publican leaders had given him. Anderson vas then in negotiation with the demo ts. When did you first hearof the Sherman ? A. Some time in the summerof after my return to New Orleans from Wa: ington.

Marshal Pitkin was recalled and quoted the sections of the revised statues under which he appointed deputy marshals. Witnees said he gaye a copy of the Taft (at- torney general's) letter of instruction to or response to rd to be the na, and N 1 3 ‘d had been ove oul ete L rs did_not carry the A.

Anderson did ask to see his protest after he made it, but witness told him he didn’t have it. Witness futher said, Anderson indicated that he thought I was lying. and I of course resented that by asking him to retire from the room. Subsequently I received word from one or two messengers that And to shoot me atsight. James Casey was ou the messengers who brought me this word, and he asked me if he should go out and “amash “* Anderson. THE LEGITIMACY OF THR PACKARD GOVERN. | MENT. General Butler then examined the Marshal atiength. He asked witness if he ever enter- tained any doubt of the legality of the Pack- ard legislature. His answer was, “ None what- ever,” and added t { Packard had been let alone, he could have maintained himself with- out the use of any United States troops; that there were organized bands of men who had baa given assurances to support him in his ce. Mr. Hiscock asked if this branch of the in- quiry was opened, he would like to know how many witnesses would be called on each side. General Butler said that to show the extent of the great outrage of breaking up a state government in the Union, he was willing to summon one thousand, two thousand, or even ten thousand witnesses. Witness, continging, said that the business men wanted the Packard and Nicholls trouble to end, because their employes made up the organization of the White League. A prom- inent officer im the League said_that if Pack- ard was recognized by the Executive, he would turn over his command to support it. An Italian company had, also, through its captain, announced that it would support Packard, if he was recognized. {t was cur- rent history 1n New Orleans that MONEY HAD BEEN OFFERED to members of the Packard legislature to get them into the Nichols legislature. A consid- erable number of the Packard legislators called upon the Hayes’ commission to know what they should do, and then reported the resuit of that interview to a caucus of the Packard legislature. George A. J. Swazey told witness that he was accosted upon the street by Gen. McMillan, who was a member of the Packard legislature, and now pension agent at New Orieans. McMillan told several embers of the Packard legisiature that the fayes’ commission wanted a conference wiih it. A committee of twelve was sent to tie commissien. McVeigh was anxious to have the Packard members absent themselves from the state house. McVeigh told Swazey ‘It is no use to hope for troops. If you can make a fight for yourselves you can do it, but it will be wholly unsuccessful and you will be hung to the lamp-posts by the Nichois men. [tis no. use; the troops are to be removed next Tues. y.”" After that conference and these state- ments by McVeigh, witness said not over ten of the séventy members of the Packard legis. lature were at the state house next morning. The resolutions adopted by the Packard legislature in caucus reflecting severely upon the Hayes’ commission were read. Witness read the testimony of the editor of the New Orleans Democrat, which had been expunged from the record of- the Nichols in- vestigating committee, to the effect that the manager of the New Orleans lottery company had admitted that he bribed. with money. five members of the Packard legislature to desert. to Nichols. A translation was read from a German New Orleans paper to the effect that Gen. Butler was right in phateing that the Packard legis- lature was dissolved by the use of money, but either the com- n had threatened ; that he was wrong in sayin mission or Hayes furnished the money. It was unconstieunonaly appropriated by the Nichols legislature. The Hayes commission acted merely the part of disgraceful procurers to put Nichols on his feet. The writer of the article, Pitkin testified, was a member of the Nichols Senate, named Forster. GEN. BUTLER SATD that he had been called upon in New York When he wrote the celebrated letter to, Me- Veigh about the commission, but had refused to give it up. It was printed, however, by some means. Some people call it newspape “enterprise,” but in any other cirele it would be calied “theft.” Witness said that Swazey said that during the conference with the Packard republicans and the Haycs commission, that Ge paced the room excitedly and said They (meaning the commission) had been as long in Louisiana as ieey pcnded to stay, and the thing had better be fixed up.” GEN. BUTLER ENLIGHTENING THE COMMITTEE. Gen. Butler said he would enlighten the committee how the vote of Louisiana was given to Hayes, a ropotiicas, and Nichols, a lemocrat. He said he had D oyamining Pitkin so as to get at current history. He youd qubsoaueniy get at the facts from ackar PACKARD TO BE SUMMONED. Gen. Butler asked that Gov. Packard be re- quested to appear before the committee before he left the country. said that before the break PR, ot the Packard legislature, Gov. Hahn and y self called on Gen. in, who “as soon as I get back to Washington I see the President and pro} to that ail the leading republicans who have borne the brunt with Pac! taken care of.” Gen. Butler said that he could prove that inca, sare ey tol eir work by an agreement Rot be harmed, | tion of the coin hoarded in the treasury, and | classes is expressed, and the party pledged to Pitkin, in reply toa question, reiteratedem- | phisticaily that the Pac A ave maintained it: s troops within three weeks after a recoguition by the Executive. 8 Mt qau'the committee took a recess until 2 jock. SUBCOMMITTEES APPOINTED. During the recess the committee held an ex- ecutive session and appointed two additional sub-committees, as foilows:—Messrs. Hunton, MeMahon and Springer; and Messrs. Butler and Cox. It is expeeted ‘the latter commitioe will remain here. This division is made so as to do away with the necessity of keeping ail the members here. | AT HALEF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK the committee had not reassemble expected that S. P. Butler, of the B Gazeite, would be the next witness. poried that Mrs. Jenks told him, n inter- view, that she knew who had the so-cal.ed Sherman letter. EX-GOvERNOR HAUS, of Louisiana, will vey | likely be appointed superintendent of the New Tt was | ore Orleans mint. \a following letter explains itself: La GRANGE, June 24th, 1 Dr. i. R.

The Ohio demveratic convention met at C lumbus yesterday, Durbin Ward presiding. i David R. Paige Was nominated for ‘secretar ol state, A. F.

Resolutions were passed reaflirming the plat. form of July 25, 1877, and declaring that the presidential election frauds ought to have been investigated by the electoral commission. Its refusal to do so was a violation of the spirit of- the law organizing it and an outrage upon the prone, aud while the decision of the Forty- lourth Congress wasfinal,it ought not preclude investigation and exposure and the due ac- countability of the guilty.

This action was taken on the charges referred by Mrs. B. Walton, which have been eretofore published. In reply to the letter of Mr. Thomas J. Tilney, clerk of the examinin; committee, communicating the charges o! Mrs. Walton, Mrs. Tilton wrote as follows: “Thave before me a copy of the charge and specifications made against me by Mrs. B.Wal- ton and planed by her, under date of May 28, 1878, and also a letter accompanying the same, wherein you express a willingness to receive any reply I may desire to make. Therefore I answer, first, that in my house on the evening of the 15th day of April, 187, I did say in the presence of Mrs. Walton that the statement contained in a certain card which she held in her hand was true—a correct copy of the same | being annexed to the charge and specifica- tions. authorize the card to he publi hed in several new: papers in the city of New York the following day, Aud [now re- peat and reafiirm that the a¢knowledgment of adultery with the Rey.

Stephens spake ‘0 an immense audience. He | vindicated his course on the Potter resolution | by the logic of subsequent events, and de- elared that he could not be ruled out of the party by political tricksters. He said that if the coming democratic convention failed to nominate him he would appeal to the people. He also said that Hayes was doing more for the south than Tilden could have done, and declared that he himself would die in the | temple of Jeffersonian democracy, free from the party lash and caucus lasso.

Most of the Mor- mons abuard were either Swiss or Germans, with afew English and Welsh. Mr. Brandi, the leader, is an intelligent young Swiss far- mer, who came out to Utah fn 1872, and began farming. He became an elder in the church and two years ago was “called” to go out asa missionary. Without a question he went, leaving his wife and chi'd, while he labored as a preacher and house-to-house proselyter in Swilzerland. He reports that there are plenty of Mormons in Continental Europe and plenty more anxious to join the Charch as soon as they can get money enough to pay their way to Utah. Of coure the polygamous feature of the Church practice is not used abroad and the missionaries are in rare eases men who leave more than one wife at home.
