William A. Potter, of this city, has been

The Pacific Mail Subsidy Investiga-
ttOn.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The investigation
into the Pacific Mail subsidy business was
resumed. Geo. A. Scott testified to false
entries having been made against him in
the books Of the company.
BY Mr.. Dawes-DO you know Of any
false entries to other parties?
The witness gave Mr.. Dawes a wink and
whispered In his ear. The answer was not
insisted on.
Christian B. McDougal, a police officer,
testified that he saw VIM. 5. King in the
Park Bank, when he was pointed out to
witness by Mr.. Cole. Did not remember
any person being with him. Was told by
Cole he was VIM. s. King, Postmaster of
the House of Representatives.
Proof was made showing that King paid
- - Narr-
York on checks, but nothing was established
as to whom this money was paid.
o. P. G. Billing testified that he was
elected director in the Pacific Mail Com
pany in November, 1871. He knew Irwin
by sight. Knew Of him being sent TO
Washington to represent the company.
Witness understood that he was there to
procure the passage OF a bill, but did not
know what means were employed. Was
present at meeting authorizing
Stockwell to employ counsel in order
to prepare a bill and secure its passage.
This was at an executive session, and the
action was Afterwards ratified in meeting
Of the Board of Directors. Stockwen
thought that $4,000 would be enough, but
no sum, either large or small was agreed
upon. He thought it was the policy of the
company to know what the President was
doing with with the Pacific Mail money.
This entry of S7j0,000 in the books of the
company escaped the notice Of witness. If
the company desired to know what their
President was doing with the funds, it
could easily have been ascertained from the
books. No questions were asked by the
company of Stockwen with regard to the
money he was expending for the sub
sidy.
A good deal of testimony was submitted
as to the stock operations Of A. B. Stock
well, the President OF the company and
Others.

AND how comes to us new rumor,
based upon the recent visit of Mr. EFFEK-
son DAVIS to Europe, that his object in
going thithcr was to endcavor to eStab-
lish direct trade from the West and
South across the Atlantic, in ships owned
in the South and to sail from her ports.
He has recently delivered All address in
Memphis. Tennessee, to meeting OF
The Mississippi Valley Society OF Lon
don.2 in which he stated that while
abroad he had been presented to Sir
EDWARD PEARSON, II member OF the
Society, and in conversation with him
and other members, he had suggested the
idea of direct trade between England and
the Mississippi Valley. lie claimed that
there was no necessity for the produce OF
those States and cities along the MisSlS-
Sippi river being delayed and hindrrcd by
the cities ON the Atlantic coast, but that
vc>>clS of the largest burthcn should be-
secured. and in connection with barge
lines from St. Louis and the Northwest
grain could be shipped and transferred
in bulk at New Orleans, and thus would
be saved the enormous tolls and
commissions which now absorb So much
of the profit, of the Western and
Southern planter. 1t i, scheme trauSht

to construct Immediately light draught
