What E. L. Weber Knows Abont the Sherman Letter. | After our report of the proceedings before | Potter's investigating committee closed yes- terday, E. L. Weber concluded the reading of his statement. The paper known as the Sherman letter he said was a source of considerable mortification to Mrs. Weber. Inthe summer of 1877 witness examined the papers of his brother, found the igiter and destroyed it. The statement con- inues : “Mrs. Jenks visited my sister-in-law in the summer of 1877 and urged her to hunt for the Sherman letter. Mrs. Weber declined to do so, or to give her any information whatever. About the 27th of May she brought a letter from Gen. Sheldon offering to pay Mrs. Weber's expenses to New Orleans and Washington in connection with the Sherman leiter, and threatening, in case she did not come, to have her arrested and forced to go. Mrs. Jenks and her husband have always cailed the paper the Sherman letter. Tom Jenks, in fact, nas claimed that his association and co-operation with Anderson was such asto give him an equitable right to some of the benefits that were supposed to be embraced init. Ihave never heard it intimated. until she gave her testimony, that Mrs. Jenks was in any way connected’ with the authorship of the letter. Lhave not, nor has any member of my family, ponent touse this letter as the means of ob- taining office. I saw the members of the Mae- Veagh commission in New Orleans, and was informed that money had been used to secure the abandonment of the Packard eee nire by certain members thereof. I could’ tell some- thing of the amounts paid in certain cases, but could not say who disbursed the money or who supplied it. I had two conversations with Gen. Hawley relative to the recognition of the Packard governnient by the administra- tion, and he said that the Président could not and would not recognize it. conveyed the impression to my mind distinetly that the secogniiion of Nicholls and the andonment of Packard a foregone conclusion, and that this question bad Jeen determined by the administration before the commission” left Washingion THE WITNESS CONTRADICTED BY HIS OWN , LETTER. Mr. Cox here introduced a letter written b’ E. L. Weber to J. H. Weber, his cousin, March 24, 1si7. Witness protesied against its being read, as the statements therein made by him Were not true. “I was misinformed,” he said, “and therefore misstated the case at_ the time.” The letter, however, was read. In it the assertion is made that “the ins of D. L. Weber are at large as yet and of ting in the capacity of Nichols officers in the par- ish he lived in (West Feliciana) ; that the fam. ily were persecuted by the democrats, and re- ferring to the Packard legislature as “the law- ful legisiature,” &e. ni on cross-examination by Mr. Cox, id the statements were vouched for by him the time, and he then believed them ‘to be true, but he had since learned that he had been misinformed. He now pronounced the Statements therein false. @ subsequently said the statements were made for political ellect, as he believed they would be published, and it would create a feeling in the north in favor of Packard. Witness submitied also a written statement setting forth that his brother was Killed because he had made him- self obnoxious vo the people of the parish by threatening to publish a list of defaulting tax- payers and by having previously, rendered imself obnoxious by publishing “his protest ; his personal enemies took advantage of this fact. The murder was not done by political enemies, but by personal ones. Witness was rigidly cross-examined as to his knowledge of Secretary Sherman's hand writ- ing. He said he saw Mr. Sherman, Mr. Hale and Mr. Stoughtor vember, in the New Orleaus custom house. They weie sitting in different groups in the custom house. He talked with Sherman, and read the writing he was making. Saw Sher- man write yery distinctly. Looked at him a ; Minute or two, and on that occasion Sherman told him tu go and get his brother, D. A. We- ber, and Jas. E. Anderson. The Testimony To-day. The committee met at 11 o’elock a. m. Weber was recalled. Witnes: conferences between the vis and the republican leaders of Louisiana were held at the custom-house and at the St. Charles hotel; it was understood by ail that Secretary Sherman was the leader, and he so acted; the subject matter of conference at the meetings aS With reference to the election law of the state and its application; the matter of pro- tests fiom East and West Feliciana parishes was the subject of discussion at the confer- ence; the republicans seemed to think that Anderson's protest was not broad enough; witness had A CONVERSATION WITH SECRETARY SHERMAN, which he thus related :—Sherman said to me that he understood there was some trouble about my brother's protest ; that he (my broth er) didn’t want it to stand as it was, because it was against his wishes, and against the facts; but Sherman said if he let it stand he would see that my brocber was provided for and protected.” ‘itness continuing, said:— “On November 2th, in the evening, 1 noticed my brother and Mr. Anderson in Mora’s res- taurant talking to Mr. Sherman. My brother told me the purport of the conversation was with reference to the letter, which was subse- quently obisined, by him from Secretary Sher- man. He showed me THE LETTER. I read it. It was written on note double sheet; it took up all of the EL, tated that the ting statesmen © aper—a rst page and about half of the third, skipping the sec- ond. tr . were opened on the 2ith; it was common talk and rumor on the streets of New Orleans two or three days after the election that we (the republicans) had been beaten. Kellogg, Pack- ard and Gen. Anderson requested me to use my influence with my brother to see that he made a protest; they said he would be pro- vided for, and that I would be returned as elected to the senate; Anderson said I would rt ainst the yote of the parish being returned; I was de- feated by 1,200 majoriiy, but the returning board reversed the majority against me and returned me elected by (0 majority; the re publicans agreed before the election that they would not make a canvass in East and West Feliciana, that they were going democratic, and that the parishes were to be thrown out. Packard told me that if he did not receive a single vote in either parish that he would be elected governor ; that the parishes were to be thrown out, as it was the easiest way to dis- pose of demecratic majorities. In response to questions by Mr. Hunton as to the registration in East and West Feliciana, witness testified that five or six hundred votes were lost to the democrats from the fact that Anderson was not there to register the votes. ELIZA PINKSTON—A PUT UP JOB. Mr. Hunton then branched off to Etiza Pink- ston, and asked witness if he was present when Eliza was taken to New Orleans. He said he was not, but had heard her case dis- cussed by the visiting statesmen. It was com- mon rumor down there, he said, that it was “a put up job.” I. n.—“Do you know whether it was & put up job?” itness—“To the best of my knowledge and belief it was.”” is Mr. Springer called witness’ attention to the article in last Saturday’s New York Heraid, urporting to give an affidavit from Mrs. ritchard, formerly Pinkston, and asked wit- ness if he knew whether the facts were as stated in that affidavit. Witness.—‘To the best of my knowledgeaud belief they are.” MRS. JENKS AND THE WIDOW WEBER. The following letter was put tm evidence: NEW ORLEANS, La., May 2), 1878.—Mudame: In the investigation about to commence in Washington under the Potter resolution, it is deemed important to have you there as a wit- nessatonce. Mrs. Jenks wiil bear this nete sage and explain the affair to you. ery respectiully, L. A. SHELDON. Mad. D. A. Weber, Donalsonville, L1. , Witness said that Mrs. Jenks did bear the letter to Mrs. Weber, and threatened that if she did not go with her to New Orleans she Would send a sergeautat-arms after her and have her arrested. Mrs. Weber’s brother was at the house at the time, and sald: “What is this woman anine bere again? After thay let- 4 ter, I suppose. Why don't you teil her you haven’t pat if.and get rid ot her.” To its Mrs. ‘Weber replied: “f have the letter, aud Will dispose of it as I see fir.” i CONSIDERATE BROTHER WEBER. Witness said he did not tel! Mrs. Weber tnat he had destroyed the letter; that he destroyed It Decause he wanted to shut the master at because it reflected uy his brother, he me or somewhat discreditably.

The Potter sub-committee in New Orleans yesterday called John Devonshire, clerk of the U.S. district court, who produced three sealed envelopes, said to contain copies of the certiti- cates of the elections, which are signed in trip- licate, the law requiring one set to be filed in the office of the district court, one to be for- warded by mail and one yi messenger to the President of the Senate. The envelopes were opened and were found to contain—first, the first set of papers sent te Washington by the republican electors ; second, those sent by the conservative electors; th rd, those sent by the republicans in place of the first; which were found defective in this, that the certificates were for President and Vice President to- gether, instead of foreach. It is claimed by the democrats that the signatures to the last set of returns by the republicans are not gen- uine. The committee took charge of the docu- ments. rong, secretary of state, sworn :—By order of the committee he produced ali pro- tests filed in his office that were before the re- turning board relating to the election of No- vember. 1576, There were no protests by Pack- ard or Kellogg, or by their attorneys. iarge number of affidavits were made before F.

In this suspension in- dividual operators share. The consumers say the combination must break down before the get ends, and operators are as confident that twill not. The suspension will fall heavily upon the miners. The pay is now 16 per cent. oft, which is the best received for a year. suspension will not extend through the greater part of the anthracite region simultaneously.” ARTFUL DODGER IN BosTon.—A veteran Boston pool-seller has discovered a clever dod ge for evading the law agaiast pool-selling, and appeared the other day at Beacon Par as the auctioneer of an “art sale.” His stoc! in-trade consisted of a lot of horse pictures, labeled with the names of the horses to trot during the race, and those were soll at so much for first, second and third choices, the purehaser pieking out the pictures bearing the names of the horses which they supposed would win. The process was the same as pool- selling, only a lot of wretehed “chromos” were sold, instead of pool tickets. At the cluse of the sale the auctioneer announced that the owners of the winning horses wished to par chase all the pictures of their animais that had been sold, asthey desired to have them framed and appointed a time and piace for buying them back. The prices paid in the latter ease were of course the winnings of the povl-box with the usual commissions deducted.
