Kellogg Packard and Dibble about thiee or
foui days attei the election Ihey said they
would lose the State by it Ono or two parishes
on Bed River were in the same fix. Judge
Hugh Campbell said the returning board
would have to throw out Democratic votes
enough to equalize that action In preparing
affidavits he made them aH strong as possible,
always endeavored to make a fair statement of
the testimony of witnesses but would insist
on making the witness say he knew of the
allegations made, found veiy few who had
peisonal knowledge ot the occurrences related

I never took any pains to read ovei affidavits to

ATLANHC N J., July 24 .The Potter
oommittee, this morning called Representative
Kellej, the examination being conducted by
Representative Hiscock Kelley testified that
he visited New Orleans in November, 1875
President Grant while in Philadelphia partici
pating in the cloning ceremonies of the exposi
tion, sent for witness He found President
Grant surrounded by distinguished gentlemen,
among them General Robeit Patterson Presi
dent Grant proposed he hhould viBit New Or
leans to witness the action of the returning
board At first he declined, but the President
Raid a number of prominent gentlemen
of the Democratic paitv had gone there, and
theietore he vvinttd him to go He was mere
ly to go to New Orleans as a lookeron and to
see that nothing impropei should occur. Pre
vious to going he had no conversation with any
one but President Giant
Gen Patterson concuired in the suggestion
that he ought to go. left Philadelphia No
vombei 10 entirely alone, but on the loute
found himself in company with Secretary Sher
man, and on airiving at New Orlears found a
numbei ot visiting gentlemen Republicans in
politics
The witness stated that the Republican vis
iting statesmen found there distinguished gen-
tlemenDemociats A committee ot the lat
tei addressed a commnnuation to the foimer,
piopoaing that the two bodies ot visitors or
ganize and participate in the business of the
returning board The Republican committee
replied We aie here as puvate citizens, with
no official powers. We cannot, therefore, su
percede oi modify any 1 iw ot the State nor
have we any n^h to control oi influence
any of the officeis as to the manner
which they sh til peifoim the ministerial or
judicial duties imposed upon them by
its laws. Senator Sherman concurred very de
ei edly in the views expicssed by the Republi
can committee Visitors of opposite sides
mingled freely at times In answer to the
question whether the Republican committee
discussed anv question involving an inter
ference with the official duties of the returning
boaid, witness ud he never heard any such
conversation private oi at meetings If any
one of the delegation had attempted Buch a
tmng it would have been treacherous to his
associates as well as a violation of dntj.
Kelley in the comae ot his testimony, said
he never heaid of any suggestion to manipu
late parishes for any purpose. Nor did he ever
heai affidavits were signed with names of fic
titious poisons He did not know of such men
having a conversation with Wcbei and Ander
son, had no consciousness of ever having seen
Webei. The action of the returning board
was not communicated to witness in any way.
He was, howevei of the opinion and frequent
ly said so that fraud had been perpetrated on
both sides but that if just returns were made,
they would give the electoial vote to Hayes
His attention was called to Weber's testi
mony, in which it was stated that the letiun
mg board was influenced bj the visiting states
men to reopen the returns Witness said this
was unqualifiedly talse, in whole or in pait.
Nothing was done for which anj such asset tion
oould even be made Witness nevei heard any
suoh rumor. The general character of the evi
dence showed mtimidatiou, some of it was
most abhorrent He heard the stories
of Eliza Puikston and Rosa Richmond
and another old negro witness Pally believed
all their statements. There was violence of
the most desperate character. If Eliza Pmk
ston's story is not true then the stage has lost
a brilliant ornament
Kelly was cro^s-examined by Potter, but
no hing of impoitance elicited.
Cortland Parker, of New York, testified he
visited New Orleans Bolely at the request of
President Grant He did not, while in Louis
iana, hear doubts thrown on the protest made
by Anderson as to East Feliciana, or that it
was interlined or that Anderson wished to
withdraw it
Kftpresen afire Hale testified that he went to
New Orleans solely at the reqnest of President
Grant and not at the instance of Gov. Hayes
oi any person for him. All Republican visitors
maintained the position that they should be
careful to abstain from any attempted influ
ence on the returning board. So far as he
knew this principle was strictly carried out
Witness and Senator Sherman were together
every day. He had not seen the letter purport
ing to have been written by Weber and Ander
son dated November 19th, 1876, and the alleged
reply of Senator Sherman. If such letters
were written he thought, from his intimacy
with Sherman, that he would have heard of the
fact. He characterized as false the testimony
of Weber about visiting Republicans influenc
ing the action of the returning board. In re
ply to a question by Butler, Hale said I
thought that if Hayes waa elected President
Packard was elected Governor. I thought both
were elected."
Representative Danford, recalled, testified
there was no discrepancy or difteience between
the votes cast for Hayes and those cast for
Pac kard, except in Natchitoche/, where Pack
ard had 200 or 300 more votes than Hayes.
Ex-Congressman Hall Sypher, ot New Or
leans, was examined by Chairman Potter, and
testified that he is a Republican in principle,
and that at the time the Repubhcan visitors
were in New Orleans he met Weber at the en
trance of the custom house, who asked 'Can
I take the promises of the gentlemen who are
here to provide foi me if I am driven out of
the parish'" Witness said in reply "Whqm
do you mean?" Wbe .mentioned Xafcthewsr
and Sherman especially WitnesH then said
These gentlemen stand very closely to the
incoming President personally and politically,
and I think you can trust them." Weber re
marked ho had been deceived a good many
times, and as he therefore did not feel
like taking a man's verbal promise, he would
demand a promise in writing Witness said
that was the only way. The next day he again
met Weber, who exhibited a note which wit
ness read and then returned to Weber. Weber
made no special remark, but appeared pleased
with the letter, which purported to be signed
by John Sherman He had seen Sherman's
hand writing He would not testify that the
letter was in Sherman's hand writing, but there
was nothing to make him think it was not He
presumed it was. He could not give the pur
port but the published letter, the original of
which he hastily read, seemed to be substan
tially correct This was between the 15th and
20th oi November He thought the body ot
the letter and signature were in the same
hand writing He had seen the of
ficial signature of Sherman, but could
not name any particular document, nor would
he swear the signature to the letter Weber had
shown him was genuine. That question did
not enter his mind The letter was written on
note vpei He first mentioned the fact o-f the
existence of the letter to his brother in Louisi
ana He also mentioned the fact to Judge
Shellabarger two weekB ago Witness was asked
whether he did not know another biother,
Sypher, here present, was the legal adviser of
James E. Anderson. Witness said he knew this
only from newspaper report, and further, in re
ply to another queation, said he had read the
evidence that had been introduced against the
existence ot such a lettei and that Anderson's
testimony was accordingly attacked Witness
said Weber did not state for what purpose it
was f,iven
skcmrAnY SHLRMAN
testified he was invited to jjo to New Orleans
by President Grant bj telegram in terms some
thing like the following I would be gratified
if you would go to New Orleans to witness the
count At fiist he declined to go, but a second
telegrimwas received from President Grant
saying I think it important for you to go
But he did not go till the Wednesday attei. On
his way to Cincinnati he stopped at Columbus,
where he saw Gv Hayes In replv to inter
rogatories by HiBcock he said that his conversa
tion with Gov. Hayes waB general about the
election, all then being in the daik. Further
examination was postponed until to-morrow
morning
The Potter committee agreed that the sub
committee at New Orleans should suspend sit
tings atter to-day. Gen Butlei said some of
the evidence he wished taken Louisiana was
so important that he should have to ask that
witnesses be summoned here

NEW YORK July 24 A Wilkesbarre letter in
the Tt ibune, gives the conversation of a gen
tleman engaged in a manufacturing business
in one of the northern counties ot Pennysl
vama He spya the chances are we shall have
much more serious tiouble within the next two
months than that which came upon us ho un
expectedly last summer Pieparations aie be
ing made for a simultaneous strike all over the
country on railroads at the mines in many of
the largest manufacturing establishments, and
nothing but the utmost vigilance on the part
of the St te authorities and such preparations
as. will make it possible to crush out such a
movement instantly, will prevent one of the
worst calamities that has ever befallen this
country The 15th of June had been actually
fixed for the strike, and the outoreak would
certainly have taken place then or soon after,
but for preparations made by Governor Har
tranf t, when he called out the militia and
made arrangements to obtain uniforms and
equipments for them at Frankford arsenal
Those who were to have arranged the strike,
called a committee meeting in Philadelphia
_nd voted to postpone the attack to the 15th of
August, when, it was hoped, the country might
be taken by surprise
A Chicago representative of the strikers, on
his way to New York, stopped over at Hornells
ville and said to his friends they ought to take
the property of the rich, and they ought to
specially break open the banks, take all the
money and divide.

SYRACUSE, July vJ4.-~The State convention of
the National party reassembled this morning.
Shape and Hunton, the leaders of the rejected
delegations from New York city, have abandoned
the idea of holding an independent convention.
The platform prepared by the committee on
resolutions and adopted by the convention is as
follows
WHEREAS, The so-called Democratic and Re
publican parties have legislated in the interest
of the monev power of this country and Eu
rope, and which are the sources of all the
wealth thereof, we assert our complete inde
pendence of said parties, and declare our inde
pendence and adhesion to tbeNationalGreenback
Labor party, which name is hereby adopted by
us, and that the following are the principles
enunciated to guide us in the government of
the State and nation, should Providence permit
ns *o stt? sap"*
FirstThe greenback dollar must be full
legal tender foi payment of all debts, public
and private, and by the government issued, pro
tected and received as absolute money.
SecondWe declare that all acts of Congress
changing the original bond contract, to-wit
Of '6a, '70, '73 and the resumption act of '75,
were enacted without consent, priority or pro
curement, and were and are a fraud upon the
rights of the people, therefore we demand the
immediate calling in and payment of all bonds
absolutely in paper money without regard to
the limit they maj have run on their face, and
no further issue by the government of any
bonds.
ThirdWe demand the repeal of the national
bank act, the immediate withdrawal from cir
culation of the national bank notes and the
substitution therefor of* absolute paper money.
FourthEqual taxation of all property owned
by individuals and corporations.
FifthThe increasing poverty of the work
ing classes is attributable in great part to the
monopoly of the soil the natural source of
wealth, and theiefore we demand the adoption
of land limitation laws.
SixthIt is the duty of the legislature of
this State to limit the growth of railroad mo
nopoly and to save citizens from the great
abuses in railway transportation that now pre
vail and make serioua inroads upon the pros
perity of all classes of citizens, including the
stockholders of railways. Commissions should
be appointed consisting of men whose business
does not identify them with railroads, men of
known character and ability to investigate and
ascertain the actual cost of rail transportation,
to the end that proper legislation may be had
for the control of railroads by the State
beventhWe favor a protective tariff pro
hibiting the importation of manufactured ar
ticles of which the raw material is produced
and the labor to manufacture the same is found
in this countryall aiticles which we do not or
cannot produce to be admitted free.
EighthWe demand the establishment ot a
labor bureau foi the purpose of obtaining reli
able statistics to form a basis for intelligent
legislation on labor questions, especially with
regard to the hours of labor which should be
reduced in proportion as the use of machinery
increases, and in conformity with other eauses
which throw workers out of employment.
NinthWe demand the abolition of the sys
tem of letting out by contract the labor of
convicts in our prisons and reformatory insti
tutions.
TenthAn income tax based upon consti
tutional limitation and graduating, but leav
ing untouched all incomes under $1 000.
EleventhWe demand that the salaries of all
officers wf State, counties and cities, who re
ceive more than $1,000 per annum be re
duced cne-half foi all salaries above that
amount
TwelfthThat wo lecommend a wise and
judicious system ot internal improvements.
ThirteenthWe demand thorough rcfoim in
the system of public school education so as to
establish agnenltural mechanical and com
meicial schools in addition to common scho ls
to prevent other schools being established or
sustained out of the public school funds, or
said funds being used for other than school
purposes, to prevent oft repeated changes and
monopoly of sale of text books being forced
upon the people, as well as other measures
which will insuie a good common school educa
tion for the poorest in our State at the least
possible expense.
FourteenthAs political suffrage is the
primitive element in the construction of the
law we demand that any person or organiza
1 ion of persons who may be convicted of traf
fi ckmg votes, or in any mannei, directlj or
mdiieetlj, designedly interfering with such
lights shall be incapacitated from voting and
for holding any official position in the United
States
FifteenthWe are opposed to the importa
tion of servile Chinese labor to come into com
petition with the honest labor of this country
Upon reassembling Gideon J. Tucker was
nominated for judge of the court of appeals.
A committee of five was appointed to reorgan
ize the party New York city A State com
mittee was announced, and the convention
was addressed by S Myrathall, of New York,
on woman suffrage He favored the nomina
tion of a woman for eveiy office to which a man
was nominated. He did not propose to have
woman usurp the place ot man, but urged that
a woman should be nominated with a man and
the salary divided He would have some good
woman nominated for vice president with Ben
Butler for President. Adjourned

^&$BSAST ST. LOUIS.
All Quiet at the Seat of the Late War
ST. LOUIS, July 24.A visit to East St. Louis
this morning revealed the fact that everything
is quiet there. The Belleville guards bivou
acked in the market house last night, and to
day are using that building as barracks. Sheriff
Webber says he will hold the mihtia there as
long as it is necessary to preserve peace, but
thinks their presence will not be required be
yond to-day. Everything is very still at the
different police headquarters, but judging
from the past, as Boon as the troops are re
moved, troubles will begin again, and no doubt
until the courts finally decide all questions be
tween the Bowmanite and anti-Bowman fac
tions.
Mayor Bowman has taken necessary prehm
inary steps to apply to the supreme court for
the quo warranto case recently decided, and will
also ask for an order of supersedeas pending the
rehearing. The Illinois & St. Louis Railroad
company applied to Judge Snyder at Belleville
yesterday afternoon -an injunction to pre
vent Mayor Bowman and the city from inter
ference with their track laying, but the judge
refused to hear them. To-day they applied to
Judge Baker, at Alton, but the result is not yet
known. On the other hand the company was
summoned to appear to day before Judge Baker
to answer for a contempt of court in disregard
ing the injunction against them, Judge Baker
being the one who granted the original injunc
tion against them.
A number of ties used yesterday by the com
pany in the attempted extension of their track
were burned by the citizens, and, it seems, Su
perintendent Sherman and one or two others
engaged in the work, were somewhat beaten
and bruised.
SECOND DISPATCH
ST LOUIS, July 24.Affairs remained com
paratively quiet at East S Louis this even
ing One or two personal rows occurred between
deputy marshals and Metrophtans, and a war
rant was Bworn out against one of the former,
which was executed by Sheriff Weber, but
nothing serious took place. The Belleville
guard is being supplied with blankets and
commibsary stores in sufficient quantity to in
dicate that they will not be sent home for
several days. In fact it is thought their pres
ence is absolutely necessary to preserve
peace, and the law-abiding part of the com
munity favor keeping them there till the courts
settle the disturbing questions. The mayor
telegraphed the Governor thiB evening that the
removal of the Metropolitans alone will give
quiet If this were done be could then remove
most of the deputy marshals. If the Metro
politans are removed an order can be issued to
disband the Metropolitan police forces and re
store peace and order. He EIBO says if the
Governor will furnish arms a strong oomnany
of good citizens will organize immediately

GAMBETTA'S ENDORSEMENT OF THS TREAT*.
PARIS, July 24 Gambetta, in an interview
concerning the treaty -of Berlin, said In my
opinion it may be affirmed that the congress at
Berlin has modified in every essential way the
basis of the understanding of 1873, and I think
France has every reason to approve a change
which modifies a combination formed apart
from her if not against her. The change brought
about England's policy, is another conse
quence of not less importance resulting from
the congress, on which France cannot but con
gratulate herself. In establishing herself
at Cyprus as an advanced guard, and in con
stituting herself the protectorate of the
Asiatic interests of Turkey, England has
abandoned that policy which I hall call insular,
to resume her pohev, France
cannot but hail this change with gladness
Things have returned to their logical and na
tural course The interests of France and
England are so closely conneeted that the re
turn of England to a less narrow policy rescues
the two states at the same time from temporary
isolation into which they chanced to fall. In
consequence of the change brought about by
the congress the interests of England and
Austria are identical. In the East, the inter
ests of England and France, already somewhat
identical, have become more so, and I con
gratulate myself, in the name of my country,
on a change which I deem very fortunate and
very assuring for every one. I will not enter
further into a detailed examination of the
treaty, which I should not be able perhaps to
approve in all its parts, but what I have men
tioned will prove to yon that I cannot be
classed among those who are adversaries of the
work of the Berhn congress.

THEY'RE NOT HURT
A Statement of the McKIllop-Sprague
Commercial AgencyNot Injured by the
Tappan Defalcation.
NEW YO-K, July 24.The Times to-morrow
publishes the following Lester Clark, man
ager of the McKillop-Sprague Comsjsrcxal
agency, returned from Boston yesterday
morag He claimed that the agency
is financially sound, and that it
will continue as usual This assertion is sus
tamed by the opinion of those who are best
informed of the matter Outside merchants
who have paid their subscriptions in advance,
or who have past due claims in the hands of
the agency for collection have on investiga
tion become satisfied that everything is all
right The 415 000 which Tappan advanced
to the concern is not a liability, the capital
stockhavmg been Increased three weeks ago from
$10o,000 to 8500,000, and he having accepted
the surplusage in lieu of his claims This
Btock is now the hands of the creditors, and
their interest lies accepting the situation
as any other course would cause a
stoppage of the earning power of the agency,
which is its only available assets Besides,
thousands of subscriptions having- been paid
in advance, a stoppage would give a pretext
for demands aggregating probably
half a milhon for unsatisfied
balances which the stockholders would be re
quired to meet. The expenditure of Mr. Tap
pan's $416,000 has doubtless placed the agency
upon a firm basis for the trans
action of business for some
time at least, and there mu&t
he a large aggregate amount due it in small
sums from small agencies, and as commissions
from merchants for collections made This is
the view taken of the case by business men
generally, and even by rural agencies

SANGUINARY SIOUX.
They Propose a General Alliance With All
the Frontier Tribes for War Upon the
Whites.
WASHINGTON, July 24 The United States Iu
dian agent at White Earth agency Minn
writes the commissioner of Indian affairB un
der date of July 16, as follows A reliable
half breed who has just returned from a visit
to Sisseton agency, Dakota Territory, sayB that
while there he met and conversed with some
Sioux Indians from Standing Hock agencv
They were couriers sent with tobacco from the
Sioux of the plains to invite
the Sisseton bionx to join them
hostilities agauiBt the whites, that already
eight different bands of Sioux had joined-the
confederation, and that Sitting Bull himself
had made a visit this summer to Standing
Rock agem y, where he spent three or four days
in disguise. Also that the government had
threatened to take ponies from the Sioux In
dians on the Missouri which would be resisted
by all of those tribes, and that a general Sioux
war was imminent and would soon be an
nounced. Whether there is any truth in the
statement made by the Indians from Standing
Rock agency or not I cannot tell but they cer
tainly made such a statement to a half-breed of
this reserve The officials of the Indian office
consider tho above as purely sensational and
entertain no fears of the Sionx tribes joining
the hostiles.
