the Potter IavestsgatIO "a.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Kellogg before the Potter Commit
tee, said: After the Returning
Board had thrown out sufficient
votes to elect the Packard Assem-
bly,, two Republican electors were
still behind and Nichols 400 ahead.
Three more precincts, eighteen in
all: Swere thrown out and all the
Republicans declared elected. The
reason assigned for throwing out
these precincts was terrorism and
intimidation Of the blacks. Butler
endeavored by questioning Kellogg
to prove that compact existed
between Hayes aud Nichols, by
which Nichols was to be made
Governor of Louisiana in consider
alton that the electoral vote of the
State would be given to Hayes,
but failed to obtain any important
points bearing on this theory.
Kellogg believed that violence
and intimidation had existed in
the parishes of East Feliciana and
West Feliciana, East Baton
Rouge, Ouachi.a, and Moorehouse.
He thought the result of the intim-
idation and terrorism was to de.
strey the Republican majorities,
especially in the parishes he men,
toned, Judging from the fact of
their having always gone Republi-
can previous to 1876. Mr.. Sherman
was present at the open meetings
of the Returning Board daily. Am
not aware that he participated in
any of the proceedings of the Board
TO a greater extent than other Wis
itors.
While Mr.. Sherman was in New
Orleans do you know of his doing
or saying anything to any super
visor with reference to protests or
to any member of the Returning
Board in regard to his action?
A.-No, cir, 1 do not. Ihave seen
him in my Office when the Return
ing Board officers were there, but
never saw him in consultation with
them.
Question: will now ask you
this general question: Do you
know of any case where there was
false, forged or unfair protest or
any other unfair elective paper that
was used before the Returning
Board of 1875?
Al did not.
Question-Is there any letter
which was written by you in re-
gard to the canvass or any member
of the Returning Board that yeu
do not wish made public?
Answer-No, sir. On the con-
trary, II any one has any letters
written by me bearing on the cleo
tion, l hope they will not delay in
publishing the same.

THE Cincinnati Commercial
says: We are not assuming to run
the Republican party. We have to
say, however, that II the Republic
can party has nothing better to
propose than that the country
should flee to Grant for protection,
the sooner it passes awuy the bet
ter for Republicanism.
WE have rarely seen as much
wisdom condensed into small
space as in the foregoing from a
leading Repub lican journal. The
only man who has stood between
Gen. Grant and the good will of all
his countrymen is himself. They
would forgive much to the brusque
soldier who had bad the benefit of
no civilian training. All he would
have needed to have been petted
over the length aud breadth of the
United States, Notwithstanding
the scandalous record OF his admin
lStratl0n, was TO nave announcer
that he did not think himself bet
ter or wiser than Washington or
jefferson, and had never enter
tanned the idea of Il thirm term.
He did not care to say this. They
did, which makes the great differ
ence between them and Grant.
There was another and minor dif-
ference, viz, either Washington or
Jefferson could have had third
term If they had desired it while
Grant couldn't and can't. The Re
publican party may com2let te its
wreck with Grant as its candidate.
That is about all tn ere is to it.

SAN BUENA VENTURA, July
12th.-The slow process of filtering
q rigid cross examination first
through a Spaniard and then
through q miserable Chinese inter-
prefer has been going on In the
More murder case all afternoon. As
the Spaniard and Chinaman do not
pretend to know anything about
the personnel Of the murderers, but
only the facts, their testimony
seems to be closely sifted by the
defense, apparently for the purpose
of contradicting Jones, the States
evidence, who has sworn and will
swear both to the facts and the
men. No discrepancy was made
out, except such as might be ex-
pected where a witness has testi-
fed three or four times from men,
ory. Mr.. Fay took the
laboripg oar to-day for the
defense, Mr.. Raymond apparently
reserving himself for another
day. The prosecution was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Ganahl, to be re-
lieved Tomorrow by Mr.. Howard.
The trial promises to last q week
at least. The detectives are not
here, and so far the evidence is a
repetition Of the details of the
killing. When Jones takes the
stand, or new evidence is intro
'duced, the case will become more
interesting. Sprague sits with his
counsel, is we'll supplied with note
books and pencils and takes volu-
minous notes of the testimony, but
never offers suggestion. The
Court informed counsel this even.

Everybody who knows anything knows
that every man in this country bolas ms
property of every kind, real and personal.
subject to the dues to Government. Inc
declaration Of the Government OF Venice,
asserting that all lands and property were
liable for its greenbacks, is nothing more
nor less than the unwritten law OF this
country.-Whig. ,.o
Just so. That is another idea we have
been trying to drive into your head. You
have heretofore contended that the debt OF
Virginia could be repudiatcd at pleasure,
and you constantly inculcate the notion that
the Legislature has no power to bind III
ture Legislature, and OF consequence that
it has no power to bind the property Of the
State for any debt OF any kind. You teach
that the Legislature cannot make ali inVio-
liable contract. Pray what would green
backs be worth based upon the faith and
credit of State that boots at the appeal for
State honor as g cuckoo cry"?

Not a masonlc Eank.

A telegram in our paper OF yesterday
conveyed false impression to the reader.
The bank that failed in san Francisco was
NOT Masonic bank, but an institution
which for sinister purposes bad used the
title OF "The Masonic Savings and Loan
Bank" The following explains the whole
matter:
At a meeting of the Grand Lodge OF A. +.
and A. Masons for the State OF Caiiiornla,
in October, 1877, the following resolution
was offered:
Whereas this Grand Lodge has repeated.
" expressed its disapprobation OF the use OF
Masonic symbols or names for the purpose
of advertising private business; and where
os II is stated that an impression generally
prevails throughout the community that this
Grand Lodge is interested In and RESPONSE
h,e ,or the business OF the 'MaSonlc Say"
mos and Loan Bank" of San Francisco !;
therefore, it is
arrested to cause to be published, during a
period of six months, in the alta Cdt!toT-
mia and Bulletin, newspapers published IN
the city OF San Francisco, and IN the ne
cord Union, newspaper published IN the
CITY of Sacramento. notice, over bis own
name and that OF the Grand Secretary, to
the effect that this Grand Lodge is not and
never has been in any way, directly or 10
directly, interested In the business or man
arement of the "Masonic Savings and Loan
Bank" of San Francisco, or in any banking
or other business.
An amendment was made to the resolu-
ton requesting the officers Of the bank TO
nubljsh the notice; and should they no5
commence its publication within thirty
DAYS, the Grand Master and Grand Secre-
tary should do so, as provided in The rcso-
luton.
The resolution was then adopted

Mr.. Butler replied, holly, he did.
Mr. Burke sharply asked, son what pai-

Mir. Butler answered, 81 will show you

Mr.. Burke, addressing Chairman Potter,
said, 81 will answer no more questions I'M
til G General Butler withdraws the offensive
remarks he has made"
Mr.. Chairman: 1--WE cannot protect you
in this"
Witness: "Then I shall protect myself
After some alteration between Butler
and Hiscock, Burke again addressed the
chairman, saying that he was acting at
Washington as the duly authorized agent OF
the Nichols State government, by whom
his conduct had been approved, and TO
whom he alone was responsible; that he natl
come fourteen hundred miles to testify
frankly and fully to all questions put 10

General Butler did both Major Burke ana
himself justice in retracting the Offensive

Mr.. Stenger thought that. notWlthstand-

in the untruthfulness OF the witness.
Major Burke: While have great respect
for the member who has spoken, once
more emphatlcally state that so long as the
remarks of General Butler stand shall not
answer another question.
Butler replied he had nothing to with"
draw there.
Major Burke turned his back upon But
Ter, lighted a cigar, and, after few min.
utes, left his seat and went into an adjoin-
ing room. This brought the proceedings
to deadlock for some time. A number OF
Major Burke's friends followed him into
the ante-room, where they remained some
time in conference.
The expressions OF the audience and a
majority OF the committee were in favor OF
Major Burke, and the stubbornness with
which Butler adhered to his assertion was
generally denounced. After about ten min
utes Major Burke resumed his seat.
General Butler then said he was satisfied
