31 fe hoi la.
New York, Aug. 20. The Potter commit
tee resumed iti investigation this morning.
Major E. A. Barke was the first witness.
He said: "I was charged with the regiatra tioa and election matter in 1876, In New Or
leans, as chalnhan of central commission
and registration bureau. I think we knew
the result of the election in Louisiana about
the 15th of ftovember. The returns were
all in except those of St. Martina, which has
about 2.000 Totea." General Butler did all
the questioning of the witness. Witness ' said the vote for the highest Tilden elector
i was 83,850, and the lowest Hayes elector re
ceived 4 5.240, a difference of 8.619. Witness
could not give the vote for Kicholls exactly, bat he had a majority of 2.000 Totea. The returning board threw out some 10,000 votes
to count in Hayes. "In the campaign of
1874," said the witness, "we were cheated out of the election results by this same returning board of 1876. There was no change la their action of principles. They were aa arbitrary and unjust In 1876 as in 1874. Oar apprehensions were increased by telegrams passing from leading republicans all over the country to these leaders in Louisiana, and showed us that they would sustain their men in any action they took. Louisiana men got despondent after the election,, and about gave it up, but when these telegrams commenced and visitors arrived their spirits were aroused, and they never seemed to falter from that out. The Inauguration of Governor Nicholls took place before some 50,000 persons, and the senate and assembly were at once organized. Ihey took possession of everything except soma small space filled and occupied by Packard." Witness said he religiously and sincerely believes that Hayes and Packard were defeated and Tilden and Nicholls elected, and that was
the opinion ot every honest man there. "I
went to w ashington." laid the witness, "on
the 15th of January, as agent for Governor
Nicholls, to secure the non-intervention by
government troops with the state govern

To the Hon. J oh n Ellis, Representative of Lou
laiatun, THE COXFKRENCxC
Mr. Ellis proposed a conference in the
room of the finance committee of the senate
and there were present at it Matthews, Den-
nison, hherman and Foster and myself. I
showed them guarantees which the Nicboll
government were willing to make. Sherman
expressed anxiety about the senate, and remarked if the Nicholls government were at once recognized two democratic renators
would also have to be recognized. It was
nnally agreed to call on Grant and urge him to remove the troops, as such a request would
do away with his expressed fears ofdoine
njvuiDg to emoarrats nis successors policy.
as a was id toe minority in tnat conference, it being four to one. Isaeeested a conference
in me evening when other parties renresent.
ing the democratic side could be present. It was. as I suggested, a conference. It was held in KvartaTroom, but he was not present.
I here were present Sherman, Garfield, Foster, Dennison, Matthews, Ellis, Levy, Wat1
terssn and mvsalf. We discussed the whole
condition of aluirs. Adjourned till to-mor

BECOME 8ICK A5D TIRED
of the state of things. Cheated out of two elections and plundered, we determined not
to stand it longer, and would have forced
military government in preference to stand
ing such things. General Grant modified his ideas after my visit to Washington. - I was in Washington for the purpose of getting
tne troops not to interfere, and got an order to that effect on the afternoon of the 2d of
March."
Q. You got that order on that day, when
oeneral u rant s term expired at 12 o clock
that night Now, did you not know that
Hayes called on Grant that same day at 11
o clock in the morning? A. No, sir; I did
not hear of it. Did -not know of any conference between Hayes aad Grant. A tele
gram on the 1st of March, 1877, from Grant to Packard, in which he states that
he does not believe public opinion
will sustain any action by the United States
government In Louisiana, and that troops
wouia oe oniy usea to protect the peace, the
witness admitted to be correct The witoess said that we In Louisiana were not In favor
of an electoral commission. We understood.
through crude and logical reasoning, that if
Hayes was recognized that Paccard would also have to be recognized. The witness saw nothing in Hayes' letter of acceptance about
tne state going two ways. Here another tel
egram from Grant to General Auger, dated
t toe inn oi January, 1577, was read, in which.
while deprecating interference on the part of the federal government in the state gov
ernment, yet said that the Packard government should be recognized, as the electoral commission .had declared them elected. When the hope of seating Tilden, whom we knew to be elected, passed away on the 16th of February, we were ready to confer with Hayes and see what he meant doing for Louisiana. Among some of the promises made ' to Senator Matthews were the suppression of crime, the education of whites and blacks, the pro
motion of friendly relations between both nd equal civil and political rights. The education Question of black and white together was not discussed between Senator Matthews and myself. Nothing was said between Matthews and myself about the returning board. The witness said there was not one word of these guarantees that were not compulsory and embodied in the laws of the I'nited States and the state of Louisiana, Q Now was this all you offered to put In the Hayes and Packard government? A. , We ottered these for the Nicholls government The witness said we DID WOT ACQCIESCK in not opposing the count when we 'found the republicans were determined to go on with the count i Did you and your party friends agree to stop opposition to the counting in of Hayes. A. We certainly did, sir. We were assured by Presided t Grant that after the count was completed the troops would be withdrawn. I said to Matthews that while we were assured that President; rant's assurance of President Hayes' policy were well intended, yet we wanted these assurances from sucb men as Garfield, Morton and others, whom they regarded more than Hayes. He said be could not answer for them, and I said, then we will place your party in sucb a position that they must speak. I meant thereby our people would join the filibusters and prevent Louisiana and South Carolina from being counted for Hayes. The witness said there were but two phases of negotiations in this thing the Cameron and Matthews phases. He made the same proposition of agreement to Cameron as he did to Matthews on the 18th of Febraary; also to Foster and other leading members of the republican party. Q After the resolution passed on the 17th of Febraary, by congress deciding not to interfere with the Louisiana count was there any hope for a republican administration? A. No, sir, except some arrangement was made with the democrats of Louisiana. I had a conversation with Hewitt and he said the democrats were determined to pat most of this fraud on the shoulders of the republican., party. The re
publican party were well aware of our determination to break up the count The witness said he had a conversation with General Grant on the 2Glh of February. He intimated be would not do anything to prejudice the republican party and would not act until the count was declared fer Hayes. Grant allowed us virtually to take possession of the state. We acted on Lis intimations, and he submitted to them. Onthe2Cthtf Februsry the witness received, a telegram from Kills, of Louisiana, from congress, and went to see him. He said, "Come instantly." He told me he had a letter from - Lamar relative to a conversation he (Lamar) ' had with Matthews and Foster in regard to a speech made by Foster. f THE UTTER. The followiijgls a copy of the letter:

tw i ork, Aug. zs. jisjor uurke con tinued his testimony before the Potter.com
mlttee to-day. He said that the census of
1S75 for Orleans was fraudulent and in the Interest of the republican party by increas
ing the negro vote 25,000. and that the state was carried for Nicholls by 9,000 majority
and for Tilden by about 8,000 majority,
The witness said universal pains were taken
by the democrats to prevent the intimida
tton of voters. All came on the republican
side.
Q. W hat was the course of the board In
regard to the ex-parte affidavits? A. They
at first decided not to receive any such, but
afterwards changed their opinion and re
ceived ex-parfe affidavits from the republi
can side of the house, and then again, when
damocratic affidavits were sent in, they
cDangea tneir ruling again, and refused to
receive them. It was after the 23d of Novem
ber before we had any opportunity to
receive the protest When we handed in large bundles of ex-parte affidavits, the board
refused to receive them, and said the wit
nesses should be present and on producing a large number of witnesses, the board only
examined a few of them. This put the dem
ocrats to great trouble, owing to the distance of some of the parishes. The total vote of
the state of Louisiana in 1876 was 161.149. or
nearly 90 per cent of the registered voting population. He saw Anderson on 8unday morning in a restaurant The witness
in company with Mr. Guthro. and at the other side of the restaurant Sherman and
Stonghton were sitting. The witness spoke
to Anderson for a moment, but did not see Anderson speaking to Sherman and Stoaghton. Anderson told the- witness that
be had something in the nature of
a protest but that he was nndar
the influence of liauor when he aimed it.
He could prove that Anderson told him that
in consideration for what he had done for the republican party they had promised him the naval office. In an interview with Anderson about the ICth of . November he
stated to witness he was in possession of documentary and other evidence that would
prove a conspiracy by the republican party to throw out the five bulldozed parishes of Fast Feliciana, Washita. Morehouse. Rich
land and East Baton Rouge, lie further aid he could secure us the parish of Fast
Feliciana, but that he was noor. and If h
did so would probably be thrown in prison on trumped up charges. He agreed if we paid him 14,000 then and $1,000 after the
count His proposition was considered and accepted, as we didn't think there was any
wrong in procuring evidence to show republican franriV.inii mapnlltv. Th nmruitinn
would have been carried out but for the fact we had no money here. .

consideration for the yielding up of the Hate. This was what chief! v hmnt htm
to Washington. It was learned that ladin
republicans close to the administration in power came to the conclusion that bayonet rule could not be maintained in Louisiana, and that they were willing to hnrfnn
ackard if thev could strenffthtn thoip
in the United States senate. These facts were communicated to witness on his arrival in Washington. He had an i

and that they would, as a party question, oppose any action in Louisiana that would
esien their power in the senate. The diffi
culties presented in the case as the vote of the state was declared for Haves wera aim
discuased, and the witness arsured Mr. Cameron be could present a leual theorr on
which the Nichoils government could be
sustained, even if tbe electoral count was given to Haves; that the returning board had no power to count the vote for governor or lletenant governor. The democrats had already a majority in both houses.
Hero General Hutler appeared and took
his seat.
the power from the returnine board of
counting the vote for governor and lieutenant governor. Governor Nicholls, by his
reply, did not seem to fully understand the proposition about the memorial. While the
witness understood from Secretary Cameron that two republican United States senators would be elected from Louisiana, provided the Nicholls government was recognized, yet there was no special pledge made, and tbe matter was deferred, and Columbus Delano
went to Columbus, Ohio, in reference to the matter. The witness believed Mr. Sherman
was acthg with Mr. Cameron in the matter of the United States senatorship. Ilepresen-

if he would let the order go: that he was sec

said he did not believe that any time after
January 12 Oeneral Grant believed the Pack
ard government should be sustained. He believed General Grant's policy favorable to the Nicholls government began on the 6th
of January.when he refused Kelloeji's request

THE WHEAT CROP.
Reports front Mlaneaota and Oreeron. 8t. Taul, Minn., Aug, 22. The Tioneer Press editorially estimates the aggregate wheat crop of the state at 25 million bushels; acreage, 2,223,901; average yield per acre 11 bushels. Below a line due west from St. Paul the yield will probably be 10 bushels per acre. This region furnishes threefourths of the crop. Above this line the yield is estimated at 15 bushels per acre. 8s Fsa.xcisco, Aug. 22. A Portland dispatch says that harvesting in the state is, about two thirds through. From very full returns It Is estimated there Is an increase over last year. The grain is larger and plumper than known for many years and will average from 02 to C'l pounds to the bushel. There has been an increase in the acreage which more than offsets the average decrease in yield of bushels to the acre. This increase together with an increase in weight will give not less than 10 per cent, more bushels than any previous year.
