TIIK SCABS A HVsTtltlOIS IK MALE HAVE JUI1X SIIKKKUaM [Wasbif gton t*pec ; n to the New York Times. 1 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 *• W. Perry.” The writer was ad mitted, ai d she took the chair on the Secre arx’s right, usually occupied by callers, and said she would like to I will undersell any house in the United Stales, test this, which is to address There is but one way to I*. GUILFORD, ■ju uudwvi on vii iiiuivinii;iii. ■ , • • • • •••• . . . .. . • , V , , have a private interview with him. 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 remained sente time till ti o room 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. interview in company with some per son known to the Secretary, ami in (52WIii1:eh.aU Street, Atlanta, Ga. l@“The only Exclusived Dealer in Pianos and Organs in the South. feb5-tf.
