The Chief Clerk read the resolution as fol lows: Besolved, That the seven hundred colored voters who enrolled their names in the Dem ocratic clubs, and the nine hundred and seventy-six who cast their ballots for Gen eral Wade Hampton and the candidates on his ticket, did so to secure to their native State honest government and home rule, and to free her from the thieving government- under which;6he had so long suffered "Trom corrupt carpet-baggers and infamous scalawags. ' Mr. Sargent, of California, said he ob jected tothe further reading of the resolu tions, a9 they were not couched ia respect ful language. f A sharp debate followed, after which Mr. Sargent, at the request of Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, withdrew his objection and the reading of the resolutions was conclu ded, i : They deny that there was intimidation on the part of the whites toward the blacks in thir support of the Hampton govern ment.

I Washington. Feb. 1 lseiore ine rnvueges ana .rowers com mittee of the House, Maddox bad asked Ulul lu allow Gov. Wells to make a full statement, but he (Wells) not having done so, Maddox was willing to answer. The night before Wells wrote the letter to wit ness,1 witness had communicated, with Wells; Wes requested that witness should go to Washington and explain the situation; the letter was addressed to Senator West, but not delivered; Gov. Wells said his life was in danger, as he had a very difficult job on hand, and did not know how he could get through with it; Wells said he would like to serve his party in making a return for Hayes, but he would not take the risk unless he was paid for it; Wells suid the majority was very large, too much .for him to handle, and he did not know where to commence to throw out; said the probability was he would have to throw out the vote ofNew Orleans on the ground, witness thought, of necessity; Wells asked , witness" to go to Washington to secure the protection of influential men for him, and (whether or not he could get the required money to satisfy him; Wells said he ought to have a million dollars; witness showed to the President and Secretary of War two letters addressed to witness by Wella; told the Secretary that Wells wanted money, but the Secretary declined to have anything to do with the matter; the programme was that the vacancy should be filled, and that Gov. Wells should resign in anger on that account; it Was understood between wit ness and Wells, if representations at jrssmngton ' failed to bring money, that witness should open negotiations elsewhere; the word "hold" in the dispatch to Wells from witness meant that he should hold the returns so as to make them avail able at will; the first negotiations failed, when Wells stated to witness that he want ed for himself and Mills at least $200,000, andra smaller sumfor the darkeys on the Board. After his rekurn to New Orleans, witness received a dispatch from Col. Pickett, that the negotiations had failed, when Gov. Wells suggested to witness that he gendeavor to make some arrangements with the Democrats; witness made an ef fort inihat direction, but failed. The idea of witness was firm, from what Gov. Wells said, that he would throw out votes to the best advantage, in order to produce certain results, which would depend on circumstances. r Wells' letter to West, which was not de livered and is yet sealed, witness promised to deliver to-morrow morning." Maddox did. not deliver Wells' letter to West; because it contained certain infor mation, and witness was not disposed to trust Wells. The entire Returning Board were admit. ted to the committee room to hear Maddox's story. , CENTRAL AMKBICA. ue. Disturbance In Carren Gross outrages of the Liberals. Panama, Feb. 1.
