The Liver is the imperial organ of

the life, health and happiness ofman.
When it is disturbed in its proper
action, all kinds of ailments are the
natural result. The digestion Of food,
movements of the heart and blood,
the action of the brain and nervous
system, are all Immediately connected
with the workings OF the Liver.

Resulta of the Potter Investagation

Results of the Potter Investigation.
CFrom the New York Stats Zeitung.)
The following facts may be regarded DIS
morally proved and established. as the
result of the investigation so far as it has
been carried.
/. The whole pack who. under the
administration of Grant, had possession OF
the government Of Louisiana-Go Kel
logg, the members of the Returning Board
the inspectors and supervisors OF election,
and so forth--were band Of perjured
scouDdrels. In the expectation of receiv-
ing a rich reward, they endeavored tt
assure the electoral votes of Louisiana for
Hayes and Wheeler; and Cd the other
hand, as soon as their fraud was accom-
plished they exerted themselves earnestly
by threatening to expose it. to force the
payment to themselves of the compensa
ton which they expected, and which haC
been partly promised them, No one viii
be mistaken in assuming that many out
RACES which happened in Louisiana at ,sha
time were brought forth for the purpose O
facilitating the electoral fraud.
q 1t is proved that John Sherman
Stanley Matthews, Stoughton, and tn,
other leading republicans who, at the timt
of tae count, were in New Orleans, al
though they may have believed at the mo
ment that in some parts of the state tn
election had been affected By violence, We
they knew that with an honest and impair

tial count the electoral votes of Louisiana |
belonged to the democratic candidate for |
president; and they employed their inau7
ence to carry out the frauds which had been
planned by Kellogg and bis associates,
and in direct or indirect manner, they
encouraged the tools used for this purpose
to persist in their lying statements and
periured protests. The correctness OF this
view of the case does not depend upon the
possibility of bringing forward direct proof
that Sherman was the author of the notori
GUS Sherman letter; for all the transactions
which took place between the Republican
statesmen and the Louisiana swindlers. and
which can neither be doubted nor disput-
ed. admit of no other explanation. How
far Sherman and his friends overcame any
scruples of conscience by the idea that the
election of Hayes was indispensable to the
welfare of the country, may be left unde-
termined: but that during their presence
in New Orleans in November aud Deem
Der, 1876 they must have known that the
electoral votes of that State could be given
for the Republican candidate for President
by cheating only. Of this, every one must
be convinced who is not wilfully blind.
Ill. There is no direct proof that these
| FRAUDS were executed on the requesC OI al
| the order of Mr.. Hayes; but the belief that
he must have had well-founded suspicion
of the character Of these events is very
strong, and is strengthened and fortified by
the fact that on his Recommendation sew
eral dozens Of the Louisiana swindlers, who
had been especially conspicuous in the
frauds, were rewarded with Federal offices
i Even ii we attribute no SPECIAL weight tc
the promise which Mr.. Hayes made in his
letter of acceptance and in his Inaugural
ton speech, that in filling public offices ht
would regard capacity and worth as thu
only standard, it is yet inexplicable that h
should have given recommendations onl!
to these scamps whose sole merit consisted
in the unscrupulousnesst they had exhibited
D in falsifying the election. Hayes may b
, taken for weak, impotent, narrow man
but it would be a wonderful accident if il
Ifilipg offices in Louisiana his stupidit
should have led every time to the recon
} mendation of precisely those men VIII
were distinguished in the execution of tn,
! fraud through which he became President
These are the results of the Potter in
vestigation so far.

PLA eUEMINEt April IL, 1870.
Kditor Morning Star:
On Friday, the 5th inst, embarked on the
steamer Willie for the Crosse Tete country.
She landed ME at Boy Farm in the evening,
two and . half miles from Rosedale. rms
plantation, now owned by the Citizsns Bank,
was one OF the finest in the State. The sngar
house was burned by the Federals during the
war, and never rebuilt. The place, like many
others, is now almost waGte. few darkies
raise b little corn and cotton on it.
Next morning went on up the Bayou Crosse
Tete, and after walking two miles and a half
came to Rosedale, q little town situated on
both banks Of the bayou at the crossing OF Inc
Opelousas and Baton Rouge Railroad. The
town shows signs of little improvement. IN
consequence of the break as Morgsnza sll one
side of this section is oveIhowed. This pre-
vents the cars from running between Rosedale
and Baton Rouge, consequently the busipess
between the Crosse Tete country and New
Orleans goes through Plaquemine, up the
bayou, to Rosedale.
Tho planters here have much better prospects
than On the river. The seed cane is not 30 bad, !,
snd the stubble seems to have been good
stand.
The Sunday following, went down to the
Chapel to hear Mass. Tho Chapel is situated
Oh the bayou, five miles below Rosedafe. At
the time the Chapel was built most of the Ca
tbolics of this section were living below Rose
dale. When the water of "a came up on them,
they either moved to Roseda1e or moved clear
away, and it is very inoonvenient for the peo-
pie from Msringouin and Rosedale to have to
go so far. The Chapel has nice appearance
outside, but has never been flushed inside. 1t
| hasn't enough pews, and is badly in need of
vestments, etc.
Mass is said here once month by Father
Lossouarn, of West Baton Rouge. He had
been cn the bayou for several days, preparing 6
the children far their First Communion.
Sunday, the 9TH, forty three persons, from
fourteen up to forty five years of age, received
Holy Communion for the hrst time, and or the
| same day number we're baptized, inoludin &
I Mr. Hiram 81 g4-r as el6 and estimahle citizen
of that section. The Chapel was crowded, and
altogether 10 was happy day.
A considerable number of the Catholics in
this section are oolored people, who belonged
| to farm owned by the Jesuits many years
ago in Maryland, and have been faithfnl to
| their religion under many difficulties.
Father Lossouaru intends to repair the Cha
pei and have Mission there this Fall to pre-
pare the people of that section for Confirma-
| ton. PELICAN, JR.

New York Sun

The decline in the premium on gold to
one quarter of one per cent, and the ap
preaching use of gold as currency which
this decline foreshadowe, have raised the
question of the results likely to follow such
a practical resumption of specie payments.
A certain class of speculators are confident
that when gold coin, which has for go many
years been nothing but merchandise,
bought and sold like iron or lead, shall
have been restored to it's former place as
money, the consequence will be an inha
tion Of the circulating medium, which will
lead to q rise in the prices of labor, and of
all kinds of commodities. The sincerity
of their convictions ia attested by the
course of the stock market. Somebody has
evidently been buying, in anticipation of
selling out again at an advance, bat
whether or no this anticipation will be re-
allied, yet remains to be seen.
Our own opinion has always been that
when resumption finally came, aud gold was
restored to use as money, there would be q
certain relief ex perienced in the money mar
ket from the additional supply thus thrown
into it. But we fear that the degree of
this relief is overestimated by those who
forget that gold is now, and has for long
time been, Indirectly employed Rs money,
by forming part of the bank reserves.
The national banking act requires national
banks in cities to keep on hand in lawful
money of the United States an amount
equal to twenty five per cent. of the aggre-
gate amount of their deposits. All the
rest they may lend out, and until lately
have done 80. The banks of this city, for
example, showed by their last statement
that they held SOS, SOC, 100 in legal tender
notes and s35, ,4s6, 900 in specie, or S64,-
l53, 900 of lawful money altogether, against
$2OI 1926 500 of deposits. Since twenty
Ave per cent. of these deposits would be
$50. .l8I, $50, it is evident that the surplus
gold is only sI5s s67I $50, and would not be
Against THE, too, must be reckoned the
necessity which the banks would feel OF
strengthening themselves to meet possi-
| BILE run, 80 that we cannot see how resump-
ton would Immediately cause any remark
able ease in the money market or any
increase in prices.

Solemn Csrsmonials Re established in the Papal
Court.
Iondon Tablet March 30.


The solemn celebration of the great
functions of Holy Week and Easter, which
has been 80 long suspended by reason of
the failing health of Plus TX, is about to
be resumed. For the present, and in face
of the difficulties which the actual state of
things throws in the way of the preseIva-
tion of order in SO large building as st.
Peter's-there being no Pontihcal troops
for that purpose--the ceremonies will take
place in the Sistine, and admission will be
by ticket. His Holiness has moreover
restored much of the external state of the
Pontifical Court within the Vatican Palace !;
the CbRmberiainB now appear at State
audiences in their full Costume, instead Of
wearing only their chains of Office and at
the CoDsistory held the day before yester-
day the Cardinals were to be present in
their fall habit of ceremony, instead OF in
their ordinary dress, as has been the Gus
tom of late years. 1t has probably been
considered undesirable that the traditional
State surrounding the Supreme Pontiff
should be allowed permanently to fall into
disuae, aud the commencement Of q new
Pontifcate has been naturally chosen as an
occasion for restoring the ceremoniouB OBJ
servance which was dropped at the begin
ming of the calRmitous and anxious years
which have succeeded 1870.
