Imt* would im paid our. ul film Is lu u**‘nt rrom Washington. At the conelusion of the prosecution counsel demanded their dee, which not being paid they instituted suit, and after a hearing in court obtained judgment against all the members of the board A writ of fieri facias, copy here win inclosed, issued, directing the Sheriff to seize and sell sufficient property ft defendants to sati-fy the judgiuen of #5,000, lea* $1,875. The Sheriff rinding no pro|ierty belonging tlt; Anderson, Wells and Kenner, *eiz*«’ my |roperry and now holds the Hum* subject to sale under bis writ. If m»I property is saeritlccd uuder that, vx••cirion it will render ui*- barkruju, I atn a poor man and am unable u« sustain Mich a loss. I h ve alwa-iissiirued a foil share of tn« respou-sibilitiv attaching to the ofiictol acb of the R •turning B mrd, alLtmugu I nave never etj »yed any o? the fruiie. resulting from its Hading, and ii this connection I resi»ectruliy remind you that I hold no office under yom Administration and that I lmv« derived no pecuniary beufita whatso-j »*ver therefrom. B u. on the contrary,I have sustained oti^iderabie loss it-| my business on account of my iden-1 tuy with the board. Messrs. Ander-1 sou, Wells and Kenner, the other three members, and their numerous family connections, are enjoying lucrative positions in the employ oi fhe Government. I protest agains’ being mulcted for tne cost of the criminal proceedings against th*| Returning B ard while others oi»j the honor and emoluments resulting from its decision. It is neither just ! nor hoooiable to impose this heavy I burden upon me. It would b* more becoming the beneficiaries of •*ur acts to discharge this debt. Upon my arrival iu Washington two weeks ago, I wassuggested to the President that he convey his wishes in this regard to Mr. Anderson in an autnorative form which no doubt would induce Anderson to pay, although for me to return to L misisDA with the Pres-idem’s verbal message would be useless. The President took alarm •it this suggestion and retreated be-hlud the Cabinet which was about tssembling. I also called on Secretary McCrary who expressed sympathy for me and rM: ’If I were able I would pay the judgment •nvself, but I mu a poor man ami live emir-ly on my Hilary. It should »*e paid at once.1 Oi courae I was Vr*ry grateful io the Secrorary lor these kind expresalons, I next saw Messrs. Studiabarger and Wilson to wh ru I explained my ea»c. They advised me to see Assistant Hecrv-ary Hart ley, which 1 did in company witn General Sypher. Mr. Hawley referred me to Mr. HbelUbarger who he said would attend to if. I ^aw Messrs. Snellabarger and Wilson, who Hs^ured uie, on the promise of Mr. Hawley, that the money would be raised on the return of Mr, Sherman, who was then in Maine and would be home in a week. I waited, contented, a week, believing that all would be satisfactorily arranged. I called on Mr. Sherman on ids return and he received me very cordially, I stated my case to him, lt;*xpluiQiL!g how many property was about to be sacrificed, and showed nim a copy ot the sheriff's writ. He answered that he knew nothing about it, and that he did not see wdy Anderson didn’t settle this matter, but that the money ought to be raised aud tnat he would give me $100, whtch lie attempted to take Hum his pockets remarking at the same time, ‘You go and see some ofand collecti n inking about Haves charging me with fraud and collusion—fraud and collusion for 13,000, and even that amount If lalsed would not be paid to me. I might have made $50,000 { once if I bad committed a fraud, and I tbiuk it would have been In the interest or country and good morals if I had taken the money. For not do-«ng so I have been pronouuceda fool. After sleeping ou the matter I concluded that if I did not want to ioee my character as well as my property I had better quit the company of Mr, Hayes and bis Secretary of the Trea-ury. I may t*e able to stand the loss of my property, but to be chanted with fraud and collusion by this Admiuistraiion ought to shame the ievil. I determined to return home at once and made preparations to do so, but before doing so i concluded ?o call once more ou Mr, H Del la barger, who bad been so kii d to me, I did bo, and stated my grievances again, including the fruud-Btory, wnich I denounced as false and in-famous. He went to the Secretary again and handed me this dispatch wnich I signed and sent to Mr, Cul-lorn:“OLD HU—• - — ~ ^ , uHe Folate (he Moral of the Csakllng-Spregae AflUr.(Atlanta (Oa.)

A little more than a week ago he ad-•tressed the following letter to the President:Washington, D. 0. Aug. 7,18791It PrtmdentxI have the honor to invite your at tendon to the following facts, upon which I respectfully solicit such relief as you may be able to offer me. In 1872 I was elected by the State Henate of Louisiana a member of the Returning Board ot that State. 1 aid not desire or solicit the office, sod I accepted it with great reluctance.

Wells and Kenner and all their family connecTions, numbering not lees than forty person*, are drawing mouey from the United States Government, besides perquisites which, if what everybody says Is true, amount every month to as much as this judgment.”“flow did you happen to come here about this mater? I should think that the other members, having such places in the Custom-House, would ootcareto have tnia case brought to the attention of the Administration.”“Before coming hare I called upon Anderson and Kenner who refused to pay anything. I went to Well’s office frequently to see him, but could never find him; he has been absent from his office a long time and Is difficult to find. Seeing that I could gel no assistance from the other members and being pressed continually for payment by the attorneys, who threatened to sell me out at sheriffs sale if I did not pay eoeedily, I thought I would come to Washington and seek relief. This is what brought me here. I could get nothing out of the officers lu Louisiana and I came to try those nigher up. • I had great confidencelu my mission here, remembering the ancient Spanish saying that 'It is not much to give a leg w him who gave you the fowl.’”“How many appointments have Anderson, Wells and Kenner or their family connections and friends iu tbe New Oi Jeans Custom-House ?” “Not lees than fifty, including sons, sons-lu-law and son’s lather s-lu- law and other sons.

I am ex* peeled to give security for its payment wheu I get home. I have beenbadly treated; I have suffered both socially and materially. For my services in 1872 I received Gkate warrants which I negotiated at a heavy discount. Iu 1876 I received 00 compensation whatever, bat wae dragged from my home and business to Washington and confined thirty-three days in the Capitol and afterwards Incarcerated In the parish prison In New Orleans, and when I was discharged here, In company with others or the board, went to the Sergeant-at-Arms, John G. Thompson, to Inquire what provisions had been made for defraying our expenses and to ascertain how we were to get home. We were politely inf rated by that dignitary that we might walk borne. My present visit Is an additional expense. I have already been here three weeks. If a port of this judgment falls upon me, which is now probable, I do not know what tbe whole or my outlay will be. Heretofore my standing aud credit have been good, aa auy honorable man In New Orleans who knows me will testify; my business was prosperous and profitable, but since my connection with Wells, Anderson and R*»turnlng-Board mailers I have beenproscribed In various ways.”“Have you never received anything in the way of cont|»euaatkm for your services or expensee from tbe Administration ?”“No -yes, I mistake; I did receivesomething ou tne 3J of March, 1876.
