Well s, the chief Louisiana returning
boarder who wont answer questions pr.t
to him, has killed three men in his time
—two negroes and a Spanish overseer.
Where would you find con .-tie nee
enough in such a wretch to stop him
from stealing the electors of Louisiana
for Hayes? Wells is 73 years of tge-a
hoary headed old sinner. The fol!--w
--ing is a specimen of bis answers to the
committee.
Mr. Field asked the witness several
questions, among them the following: Iu
canvassing the vote of Natchitoches,
were any irregularities discovered? Did
the Returning Board deliberately add
53-5 votes to five of the Hayes electors,
which had not been cast for Hayee? Hid
vou not add 574 to the rotes cast for
Hayes in the parish of Concordia?
These questions the witness severally
refused to answ r.
Ihe witness also declined to answer
the question whether 1,500 voter had
not been thrown off from the Tildeii
electors in the parish of Orleans.
Q. Were there any forged affidavits
before the Returning Beard? A. I de
dine to answer.
Q. Hid you advise ti.at forged affida
vits be prepared? A. 1 decline to an
swer.
Q- Did you not direct that forged affi
davits be prepared iu the Vernon Paris!
rase? A. J did not advise the prepara
tion of any forged affidavits whatever.
Further on we quote again :
Q. Did you take part in nnv conspira
cy to give the State to Tilden? A. Arc
you through.
Mr. Field—Mr.Stenographer, read hirn
the question.
The Btenographer read it.
Mr. Wells—ls that the finish of your
question ?
Mr. Tucker—This is trifling.
The Chairman—Oh, Mr. Wells, ans
wer the question or decline to ans
wer.
Mr Wells—May I nay a word ?
The Chairman— Not now.
Witness—l do not know whether lam
a vassal or a j>eer; if a peer, 1 should like
to know it; if I am a vassal, lam forced
as a servant to answer your question.
The Chairman—l wish in the kindest
spirit to bring to your attention the at
titude you occupy.
Vi itness— There is no gentleman to
whom I would listen with more atten
tion than yourself, but 1 must consider
my duty.
Mr. Lawrence asked the witness
whether he declined t<> answer because
he feared he might render himself liabh
to a criminal prosecution.
The witness replied he did not.
Mr. Field—Will you explain what
position you occupy?
The Witness—Am I a vassal or a
peer?
The Chairman—That has nothing to
do with yonr position.
Mr. Fieid—Yon rejected 10/80 votes
and upwards. Were they rejected for
any cause other than alleged intimida
tion?
The Witness—l decline to answer.
Q. Did you not know the rejection of
10,000 votes was part of the conspiracy
to give theelectoral vote to the party not
entitled to it ? A. I leave that for your
self to answer.
Q. Did you take part in any such con
spiracy? A. Does that conclude your
question ?
The Chairman—Oh, answer the ques
tion or not.
Mr. Tucker—We will take the vote to
see if auch conduct on the part of the
witness should ue tolerated in the com
mittee.
The Chairman—The question is
whether the committee trill require the
witness to answer.
Mr. Tucker —The sentence of reproba
tiou should be put on the witness tor pot
answering.
Witness—Tiien I atn a vassal.
The Chuirman —Keep order, sir.
Mr. Seeiye remarked it was unani

that the wltne should answoi the .pies*

Messrs. Lawrence and Itiirchard con

Mr. Field to the Chairman - Is it not
a .use of contempt and misdemeanor

THE ELI? TOLA I. CO\tMJS*IOS
Mr. Stoughion is oue of the attorney
•r Hayes before the Electoral Commis
,on. To show how much the republi
cs are willing to let fraud remain
fraud, the extract below fr<--:n Mr'
Houghton's speech will show. Mr,
Houghton said:
Thestatnteof Florida created a Re
turning Board, having capacity to certi
fy the number of votes cast for electors,
and to certify who were elected, and it
that Board performed its duty, however
mistaken, however clouded with oYror.
however ,if you please' tainted by fraud,
.nd di<i ascertain, and did drcl.-rc how
many votes for particular acts of electors
tiad been cast, and did certify and de
clare who were the persons who wen
elected electors, that ends all inquiry
here.
1 /. TORAL COMMISSION DE
CIDIjS FLORIDA IS FA I OH OF
HA YES.
The electoral commission, as was pu
lished in the Reporter, is composed of S
republicans and 7 democrats. The first
action of the Commission wa> to order
that it would not go ba k of the returns
for evidence. This was carried by a
party vote, the 8 republicans voting f r
it and the 7 deunrcrats against. This out
out all evidence, tliMt would proie there
w.cs fraud committed by the returning
board in counting Florida for Haves,
and which had been clearly proven by
the democratic committee, and by the
recount ordered by the Supreme court
of Florida which showed the first count
in favor of Hayes to be a fraud and the
second and honest count in favor of Til
den by t>9 majority. This kind of evi
dence was cut out by the commission by
the above party vote.
The second action of the board was to
order that li.e commission would inquire
into the eligibility of electors, this was
tarried by the 7 democrats nud Judge
Bradley voting "yes."
The Commission thereupon took up
the return :><>ni Florida and without in
quiring into the proven frauds decided
on last Friday evening that ihe 4 electors
of that state should be counted for
Hayes, which w..scurried by the S re
publicans voting "yes."
A forma! report to this effect was
signed at 8.20 F. M. by Messrs. Bradley,
Edmunds, Frelinghuysen,Garfield, Hoar
Miller, Morton aud Strong, and was sent
to the President oft he Senate next morn
ing.
The commission on Saturday morning
made its report to the joint convention
in favor of the Republican electors from
Florida. The two houses separated.
The -Senate by a strict party vote ratified
the act.on of the commission and took a
recess; the House by a vote lean strict,
J but still a party vote took a recess till
I Monday morning, 12.
The decision of the Commission was
read in joint convention, from it we
quote the ground upon which it bared
i its decision:
' The ground of this decision stuied
briefly as required by said act is as fol
lows: That it is nut competent under
' the Constitution and the law as it existed
at the date of the passage of said act to
go into evidence aliunde, the papers
opened by the President of tho Senate
in the presence of the two houses to
prove that other persons than those reg-1
ularly certified to by the Governor oflhe
State of Florida, in and according to the
determination and dclaratiou ot: he ap
pointment by the Board of State Can
vassers of said State prior to the time re
quired for the performance <>f their du
ties, had been appointed electors, or by
counter proof, to sbow that they had not
and that all proceedings of the courts,or
acta of the Legislature, or of the Execu
tive of Florida, subsequent to thecasting
of the votes of the electors ou the pre
scribed day, are inadmissable for any
such purpose."
i After the reading of the decision, the
presiding officer arose, and asked wheth
er there was any objection to the deci
sion.
Mr. Field (N. Y.) then rose and pre
sented objections, which were ttiere
upon read by the Clerk of the House.
| His objections were that the Commie- (
sioii reached its decision without hcur- .
ing the proof ol fraud and corruption,
as taken by the two houses of Con- ,
gross. <
Tin* Jiouse on Monday by a vote of
104 ayes to 104 nays rejected the decision
of the commission. At 2.15 the two]
houses met in joint session to proceed'
with the count, when it w* announced
that as the two houses did not ivncur in
ordering otherwise the decision will
stand, IIIHI Florid* was counted for
Have*. The count then proceeded

LITTLEEIELD TESTIFIES Ad AIN
Washington, February 2.—The senate
committee of which Senator 'Howe is
chairman, and who are investigating the
conduct of the late elections in Louisia
na examined to day Mr. J. F. Littleficld
one of the clerks of the Louisiana res
turning board who in a statement made
a few days ago liefore the Morrison com
mittee of the house confessed having
chang* d the figures of the returns from
Vernon jiarish, Louisiana, so that the
votes cast for the democrats at polls No.
2 and 9of this parish were counted for
the republicans. In his testimony to
day Mr. Littleficld stated that the re
publican figures which wi re altered by
himself, came into the hands of the
Morrison investigating committee
through his uncle, Mr. Spearing, to
whom witness gave the returns. He also
stated that Mr. Spearing is a republican
but n Nicbolls man; that he gave the re
turns to Spearing without com|>eiisa
tion; that a few days before doing so
Spearing bad introduced witness to a
man named Gilford, a bank examiner,
and witness told Spearing in the presence
of Uifford of the existence of the return
which had been changed. Gifford told
witness if he would go to Washington
with him (Gifford) the secretary would
give liimGifford SIOO,OOO forthe returns.
Witness would not go because he would
not set a price on himself. He was not
for sale. He regretted what he had
done and wanted to grt out of the diffi
culty without having it known that he
bad changed the figures of a return, lie
afterwards stated that the SIOO,OOO was
to come from the secretary of the nation
