The account of the appearrnce ot
i he rcuiarablc lady from New Orleans
at the Treasury Departmet, and her
call upon Secretary Sherman, is quite
different as told at the department
from (hat reported on her authority.
The story as told at f e department
is as follows: MtvSiienuan and his
private secretary were sitting in ti e
office, when the mo-senger brought
in a note from a lady requesting to
see ’he Secretary on a matter of great
importance to herself, and hoped it
would he no in. onvenience to him,
«>r some words of similar meaning'.
The Secretary receives hundreds ol
similar requests from seekers lor ap
pointments, and supposed this had
the same purpose. It was sigued

statement, which is corroborated by t 1
many circumstances, is that Gc.
Ogden, leader of Louisiana White
League, has in his possession docu
mentary and other evidence which
will lie ample to procire such an
indictment. He withholds this tes
timony until after Anderson’s trial.
There is no doubt of Anderson’s con
viction, and, in view of the that An
derson has threatened if he goes to
jail Sherman will havo to go with
him, it is argued that Ogden thinks
Anderson will become a witness
against r e Secretary, and there is no
doubt that he and ethers in authority
ia Louisiana would gladly give the
former immunity, if, by doing so, he
could secure the conviction of the
latter.
The documentary evidence impli
cating Stoughton and Sherman in
fraudulent practices while in New
Orleans, which is supposed to be in
possession of Ogden, is said io consist
of a paper signed by them, or at least
bearing their names, in which a man
named Webber and one Anderson
(not General Anderson of the re
turning board) are assured of recog
nition and reward in case they per
form certain services in connection
with the vote in their parishes. The
Anderson mentioned, however, was
a inan, now in Philadelphia, who was
Supervisor of Elections in the bull
dozed parish of West Feliciana, and
a man named I>. A. Webber held the
<same jKisilion in the bull-dozed par
ish of East Feliciana. Acting in
their official capacity they brought
their returns to the reluming board
at New Orleans, and as will be re
membered they did not accompany
those returns with protests as reqired
by law. They claimed nevertheless,
as was afterward conclusively proved
to be the tiict, that the canipaien>in
both Felicianos had been one of fraud,
outrage, bloodshed and intimidation
from the first, and they brought
abuudant evidence to prove that.toe
election was not a legal one. They
refused, however, to make affidavit
to this effect or to recommend in
their official capacity the rejection of-
the returns from the Felicia
Mr. Sherman said she could say what
she wished as confidentially at that
moment as at any time, but she
lookeu at the private secretary sitting
opposite and persisted in a request to
see Mr. Sherman alone. He repeated
that this was impossible. In the
meantime other people came in, and
the lady retreated to a hack seat atid

wv.s again clear of all persons but
those mentioned before. She again
endeavored to secure an appointment
to talk with the Secretary to his
house, but he declined positively a
private interview, though she stated
she was from Louisiana and Imd
something important to say to him.
She went away, and the Secretary has
nut seen her since.
Mr. Sherman exercises ordinary
and necessary prudence in refusing
private interviews with people he
don’t know, and if W. Perry
wanted to see him, except as all
strangers do, in his public office, she
should have secured an intro unction
by some responsible person.; or, bet
ter still, she should have sought the.

For it is a strange errand a lady
