POTTER.
w. f, Horne and Major Burke Tell All
they Know about the Manipulation
or the Presidential Election.

New YORK, August CIV. E. Horne
was before the Pottercommittee to-day. He
said that he did not regard himself as the
legal advisor or attorney for Governor Young,
and was ready, as soon as he could get his
kilograms and letters, to lay them before the
committee.
Major Burke then took the stand, and said
that he considered all the acts of the Louisi-
ana returning board as illegal, as the board
was an illegally constituted body.
In response to a question from General But
Ter, Major Burke stated that none of the
Packard legislature were allowed to become
members.of the Nichols Legislature who were
not known to have been elected by majority
of the votes; witness further stated that al
though the report of the visiting statesmen
to the United States senate stated that the
Nichols government was founded on blood
shed and riots, such statements were I'M
founded, and he (Burke) did not propose to
square their report for them.
The witness was examined at great length,
principally by General Butler. Adjourned

THE board Of health yesterday declared the

and either 90 10 camp Joe Williams, where
they can have shelter and food free, or, by

Yesterday the roll Of new cases ran up
closely to that Of the two previous days-for-
ty-six yesterday, as against fifty on Wednes-
day and Thursday. The physicians give no
other reason for its increase except the change
IN the weather few nights since, when the
WEATHER became moist and heavy Many of
the physicians predict heavy mortuary re-
Cort by to-day or tomorrow; they asserting
that the increase in the number OF deaths will
keep pace In some proportion with the in
crease in the number of new cases. The
deaths yesterday-ten IN number-was but
slight falllng-off from the number during the
previous day. The declaration yesterday by the
board of nea tn that the fever was here in an
epidemic form will go far to prove that the
worst is yet to come, and that the crisis of
OF the dis ease has not as yet been reached.
The board of health insists upon all who can
leaving the city Immediately, as the only sure
method of stopping the spread of the disease.
This is an alarming prospect, but the sugges
ton should no doubt be acted upon. The re-
suit is a mathematical certainty; depopulate
the city, and the fever must abate. Below
we append the lists of new cases and deaths
