' The Committee on Feregn Relations
of the House appointed a sub-committee
to make proper arrangements for
the reception of the Centennial Ad
dress of the Irish people to the Presi

remembered that this lay in the lum
ber room of the White House for some
time, because the manner of its pre

accordance with court etiquette.
J O'Connor read the address before the
committee this morning.
, The House appointed a special com
mittee of five to investigate tbe New
York Postoffice on the charge of tam

Indianapolis, Dec. 21. The Journal
publishes an interview with Gov Hen
dricks in which he h quoted that the
purpose of calling the Convention for
the 8tb of January, was not for the
purpose, as is supposed, of making any
threats, or of organizing any resistance
to rightful authority, but for" the pur
pose of making a public expression at
the 'threatened invasions of popular
rights, and of giving the House of Rep
resentatives an assiirancef-of support
in the exercis3 of its constitutional
S rights and prerogatives. There is n

:New Orleans, Dec 21. In the Senate
Committee McDonald endeavored to
have members of the returning board
subpeeneed. Matters postponed till to
morrow Theuestion of re-opening
the Eliza Pinkston case was also post
poned till to-morrow. 1 The counsel
for the Republicans stated they had
aome forty more witnesses about
Ouachita parish The -Democratic
counsel had summoned their witnesses
for Esst Baton Rouge would not be
ready with OuaBiiAjiJl Tuesday. The
Republicans stated that their witnesses
from all parishes Would reach five hun
dred. Saulsbury thought it best to
limit the number of witnesses, as five
hundred on each side would consume
time to fourth of March j The chair
man thought time would be saved by
counsel agreeing to accept testimony
before the returning boards. It appears
from the tabulated statements furnish
ed by the .returning board that the
polls have been rejected in twenty-two
parishes. The labor to determine the
fairness of the election in these alone
would be very great. It was finally
agreed to proceed with the vote in
Ouachita parish.
Before the House Committee, J
Madison Wells, president of the rs
turning board testified that in canvass
ing returns the board compared the
Supervisors report with the tally sheets
of the commissioners. Where they
did not agree they deducted, but con
sidered principally the tally sheets
sent for tally sheets when parties eQ
terested ln the election asked for them
and sent for the boxes of Concordia
mri8b.es at the instance of ex-Senator
Harris. Did not know then and do
not know now he had every interest!
as a candidate at the fate election. We !
found on examination the tickets that
all the electorals had been voted for,
but thevotes were not properly count
ed. We counted the tickets and in
cluded them" in our compilation. The
votes omitted were on the Republican
side, llav'nt made an estimate of the
aggregate vote thrown oul, will furnish
the committee with such statement.
Can't tell the number of votes thrown
out for each party, without referring
to the books. Did'nt conside what
party would be effected by votes
thrown out. Think -they threw out
East or West Baton Rouge, don't re
collect which. Declined to -furnish
the original papers to the committee
because they belong to the State. The
papers are still the control of the
hoard. The law requires supervisors
to seal up and forward returnby mail.
Some returns came by hand and were
counted. Returns from Grant parish
were not sent by supervisors. When
the supervisors reports are sent they
should be accompanied by tally sheets.
Don't recillect that the law requires
the board to canvass from the state
ment of commissioners instead of su
pervisors. He received the boxes from
Concordia that did not come through
the supervisors. Refused to consider
Grant parish because it did not come
through the supervisors.
Mr. Jenks If the supervisor was
knave enough not to forward there
turns, and you had returns made by
Commissioners of Elections, did you
canvass such' vote.
Gov. Wells No sir, we canvassed no
votes not received through supervisors.
The attention of Gov. Wells was
here called to the fact that be boxes of
Concordia did not come through
supervisors.
Gov. Wells replied excitedly "Ko
sir.'' how could they ? .
In answer to questions, Wells said,
AW is clerk of the returning board
Mr. Kermer is Secretary. -1 think he
was some time ago, and I think he is
