Therefore, give your wife a send off
By the life insurance plan;
Fix her so that when you go hence
She can scoop another man.
Fix her so that on morrow
Some dead beat of youthful years,
Will by wouing Sooth her SORROW,
And by marriage dry her tears.

THE POTTER INVESTIGATION.
SECRET AIRY SHERMAN UNEARTHED THF
FIRST DAY-WHAT HIS PARTY SAYS.

SECRETARY SHERMAN UNEARTHED THE
The first day of the Potter committee,
investigating the frauds of the presden-
tial election, was taken up with the testl-
monv of James E. Anderson, who was a
Republican, supervisor of elections IN East
Feliciana parish, Louisiana, where De-
mocratic maj orlty of 800 was changed by
the Returning Board into a majority for
Hayes. Anderson himself is utterly I'M
worthy of belief, but he produced letters
in the Handwriting of Senator Stanley
atthews, who was one OF the visiting
statesmen" who engineered the Louisiana
frand, which, unless explained, must ruin
him. He also Produced copy Of letter
from Secretary Sherman, Who was another
visiting statesman in New Orleans. II
is stated that the Democrats have III,
original or photograph copy OF the orig
NAL of Shel man S letter, the fear of who
will doubtless account for his failure t.
positively deny its authorship, and his DIT
tending some portions OF it. Anderson's
evidence, preceding the production OF
,herman's letter, was that he and Webb.
Ghe other supervisor, were afraid to MAKE
the fraudulent changes in the returns, I'M
less they had a guarantee in writing that
they would he taken care of by the govern
ment. and not have to return to the parish
of East Fellciana after perpetrating the
wrong. They had had an interview with
Sherman in Moreau's restaurant, and told
HIM the returns were forged, and he urged
them to stand up to them. They didn't
feel certain enough about the future with
out written promise, and the following
is his letter:

cludlng 1raCGlOnal currency IN round
numbers, to six hundred and ninety mil
lions, cannot be reduced.
And here let me remark that every dol
lar OF this currency is equivalent to gold.
and after the LIST day of January next will
be exchangeable for gold.
PROSPECTIVE INCREASE OF THE vO LUME
OF CURRENCY.
Now, let us inquire whether there is a
prospect OF an increase of the volume of
currency, which will minister to the wants
of the people.
You will observe that in all my previous
calculations l have had no reference to
gold and silver, as portions of the currency
l excluded them purposely, because since
1861 they have in fact constituted no part
Of the currency. Gold was a commodity
OF more value than paper, and was there
fore boarded as a special treasure. Since
1873 silver, except for very small amounts.
was demonetized by law. 1t, therefore,
did not and could not enter into circuIa,
ton as MONEY.
But it must be plain that as soon as the
greenbacks become as valuable as gold, the
motive to hoard is taken away, and it must
enter into circulation as it did formerly.
IN specie paying days, side by side with
notes.
So silver, which has heretofore been
merely an article of merchandise, having (
been at the present session of Congress-
remonetized. must again flow into the
channels of circulation. Indeed, Congress-
has ordered forty-eight millions to be-
coined qp behalf OF the government every
year. and thrown into circulation. Before
;he passage of the law remonetizing silver,
IN ounce of silver, in bars, was worth az
tents; under the reconciliation law an
ounce Of silver. coined into the form of
lollar, is worth 100 cents. Now, it will
eadlly be perceived that, as the cost of
crest of all holders of silver to have it
oined into dollars instead of exporting
nd selling'lt IN bars, as they will thereby I

"TeXas Jack ''3is a man of consider
able intelligence and keen perceptive
faculties, and the incidents of his life

He has had his love affairs, the uncer-

nearly quarter of a century. The OBJ
iect of his youthful affections is still liv-
ing in his native city, Boston. He said
yesterday that in all his wanderings his
thoughts had ever been fixed upon Bos-
ton, his old parents, whom he had not
seen in eight years, and the object OF
his youthful love.
He served as Union soldier in the
late war AS drum-major of the Forty
ninth Massachusetts, under Ben Butler,
heawas in New Orleans during Buffers
stay in that city. He afterward went to
Texas, where he obtained his nickname.
He is now on his waysto Boston to join
his old parents, marry his only and tirsi
love, and settle down for the rest of his
days.-Ne,o York San, July 10.

he wished to punish. Let us look on
these startling occurrences from high
point of view. These mad acts of
fanatics should touch the heart of every
man. 1t is the little minds only that
have not been affected. This proves the
vanity of these struggles between peo-
Piles, where each nation purchases the
blood, the flags and the cannon of the
other with her own blood, her own flags
and her own cannon. The ground is to-
day undermined by a frightful danger

brave ones to sleep, God save the life Of
his Majesty the Emperor William.
