Washington, Juno 29.—Ex-Gov-
ernor Packard telegraphs to the
Potter cominlttoe that ho bus been
subpeenod to appear before the Lou-
isiana sub-committee at New Or-
leans to-day at 1 o’clock.
Tlio committeo here met at 11:30.
Mrs. Jenks resumed tbo chair; pro-
duced correspondence betvvocti her-
self and Anderson. Anderson not
being present tlie letters woro not
road and withheld until his arrival.
Witness was further questioned in
relation to writing the Shorman let-
ter, but still declined to namo tho
person to whom sbo dictated tho lot-
tor, as it would bo a breach oi confi-
dence as of friendship.
Samuol P. Butler, correspondent
of tho Baltimore Gazotto, was then
oxaminod rolativo to an interview in
that papor under tho head, “'Tho
Missing Link.” Witness testified
that Mrs. Jenks stated in said inter-
view that she camo to Washington
on behalf of Gov. Packard to aid in
securing tho Now Orleans collector-
ship ; also spoke of having called on
Secretary Sherman in relation there-
to, but had not mot with a very
warm reception ; that tlie secretary
had givon her assurances whilo in
Now Orleans that hor influence
would go quite fur in tho appoint-
ment of those of her choosing. Sho
further stated that sho had beard it
said that Judge Campbell had forged
the jurat to tho Anderson protest.—
Mrs. Jenks also stated during tho
interview, in speaking of the so-call-
ed Sherman letter, that tho docu-
ment was safe ill Now Orleans.
Mr. Chandlor resumod tho stand
and produced teiograinsalready pub-
lished, sent by him from Fifth Aven-
ue Hotel early in the morning of
November 8, although dated Novem-
ber 7, to Packard, Gorham and oth-
ers, stating Ilayos and Wheeler were
clcctod if certain States wero carried,
and counselled tlio Republicans to
bo watchful against possible Demo-
cratic fraud; also telegram from U.
S, Grant hoping witness would re-
main in Florida, until tho voto of
tho State was decided. Witness did
not know of frauds in Florida, and
believed thoro never was a fairer re-
sult obtained liy fuiror means than
tlio result in Florida. In answer to
a question by Butler bo mennonod
the following presidential appoint-
ments on his recommendation made
subsequent to tlio Florida olection :
Maj. F. C. Humphreys, Collector at
Pensacola, Florida; Gov. Stearns,
mouibor of tho Hot Springs Commis-
sion ; JudgoMcLin, Associate Jus-
tice of tho Territory of New Mexico;
Geo. H. DeLeon, secretary to Gov-
ernor Stearns, to a clerkship m tho
Treasury Department; a young
man namod Phelps a local Republi-
can in Florida, was appointed in tlio
Treasury Department and has now
gone to Paris with Govornor McCor-
mick; Juntos Bowos, inspector of
elections at tho hall near Tallahas-
see, whore thoro was an allegod
fraud ol 74 votes, to a clerkship in
tlio Treasury ; James Ball, County
Judgo in Florida, to a clerkship in
tho Land Ofiico; Capt. Dennis ro-
rommondded for Auditor in tho
Treasury, but was not appointed; E.
W. Maxwell in tlio dotcctivo service
of tho Attorney General, who visited
Florida in that capacity during tlio
count, was appointed Lieutenant in
the regular army; Black and Vanco,
election officers at Archer precinct,
box No. 2, wero appointed, tho for-
mer in tlio Custom House at Fhilu-
dolphin, tlio luttor as tnossonger to
the Sixth Auditor, in tho postoffieo
building at Washington. Both of
those are negroes. J. W. lloweil,
deputy clerk of Baker county, was
appointed Collector #f Customs at
Forandinn, Florida.
Tho witness’Grst reliable infor-
mation ihnt tho Packard Govern-
ment hail boon broken up was re-
ceived from Matthows some days bc-
foro tho 4th of March. Witness
mentioned an interview between
Matthews and himself, in which wit-
ness said he desired Hayes, when ho
readied Washington, should not
Btop at a private residence, but at a
hotel. Whereupon Matthews re-
marked since he, witness, took so
much interest in the new Adminis-
tration lie wished ho would use his
influence with President Grant to-
ward having him recognize the
Nicholis Government, and tlio re-
cognition would include the Hamp-
ton Government.
Witness stated to Matthews lie did
not seo how President Grant, could
recognize the Nicholis government
as tho Packard government Had been
elected by the sumo vole Hayes was.
Whereupon Matthews said ho had
looked into that matter and thoro
was no difficulty in that direction,
as one had been declared elected by
the Electoral College and the other
by tlie Legislature.
Morrison lias prepared a letter at
the request of Chairman Potter re-
plying to Sherman’s request to have
subpoenaed from Louisiana one hun-
dred witnesses to testify touching
tlio froedom of the election, murder
and intimidation,oto.After calling at-
tention to tho records ol Congress in
relation to tbo testimony of these
witnesses and their contradiction by
witnesses as numorous, Morrison
says it ncodlcss to add that should
theso one hundrod witnesses uguin
repeat their former testimony five
hundred other witnesses at least as
crcdiblo as they would bo ready
again to contradict them.
He concludes by saying the accu-
sations upon tho statement that to
iufluenco anti control Weber and
Anderson in their official acts the
ascertain the cause. His con stoma
tiou can ho imagined when, by the
light of the moon, lie saw His aged
mother lying on lie I- hack in the
clutches of a man who had one knee
on hor breast and belli hands grasp-
ing Her throat. Tlio sight caused
him to utter an exclamation of hor-
ror, hearing which the villian left
bis victim and fled, making good his
escape.
It is known that Mrs. C. used to
keep money in tho house, hut sonic
time ago she wisely “banked” it.
The villian's aim was to throw the
old iedy down the well itud go
through the house at His leisure.
Mrs. U. wits badly bruised on (lie
shoulders and about tlio nook. She
thinks tho man was a negro, l ut re-
tains no positive recollection ot his
features.

Beacon-field declared that Eng-
land could not hut adhor to Salis-

Turks that they Hud previously
been unable to maintain order in
the provinces under discussion.
Bismarck urged the Turks to ask
fresh instructions.
The congress declared in favor of
tlie independence of Servia, subject
to proviso for amelioration of tho
treatment oi Jews;
Another dispatch says the Turkish
protest against the occupation o!
Bosnia and Herzegovina was fid
forcible that the congress left the
question in abeyance.
As to results thus far reached in
the Congress the Daily News says1
Wo cannot sec how her Majesty's
present advisors can nemo with any
credit out of tho whole tran.'iaction:
Tho dullost Turk must see that
Turkey would liavo had far bettor

comparison betwoori the map at-
tached to tlio treaty of San Slcfund
and the limits of Bulgaria as de-
assuranccs and promises of reward;
that the committeo understands lie
denies the allegations and tho testi-
mony of these witnesses is not mate-
rial to prove or disprove tho acts
alleged, and therefore declines to
subpoena the witnesses.
