The Florida Investigation.

It appears that the evidence gathered by
the Florida branch Of Potter's committee
has been incorrectly reported. This might
have been expected from the well-known
prejudices and unscrupulousness of the dem
ocratic agents of the Associated Press in
that region, who distorted the accounts of
the election and of the proceedings of other
Congressional committees. The reports this
time, as before, were supplied by the editor
of democratic newspaper, and they mis-
lead by the suppression of important testi-
mony. Mr.. Hiscock, the Republican men,
her of the committee, says that the Florida
testimony reveals almost nothing that was
not known before. Much of the report was
occupied with the testimony of one Driggers
in regard to the returns from Baker county,
tending to show that they were fraudulently
made up, but the reporter omitted to give
that part of McLin's evidence in which he
said that the returning board itself discov-
cred Driggers misconduct and rejected his
returns from the county. taking instead
another return which included the two
precincts that Driggers says he wrongfully
threw out The report omitted also the
statement of McLin in response to the ques-
tions of the committee that if he were To
canvass the vote now he would be obliged to
do Just as he did before unless he had before
him, as he did not have then, sworn evidence
of certain alleged facts which he now be-
lieves, but of which he has never had any
legal evidence. The Florida case has broken
down as badly as that of Louisiana.

A Party Measure.

Mr.. Henry Watterson, editor OF the Louis
vile (Ky) Courier-Journai, recently delivered
an address before the veterans of the Sol
diers' Home in Dayton, Ohio, in the course
of which he said:
"I should like to be autocrat for one day.
would double the pension Of each one OF you
would multiply institutions Of this kind; and, In
dealing out the benefcies OF government with no
niggardly hand, would not stop at Mason and
Dixons line, but would see to It that the crippled
veterans Of the South got little along with the
rest In sober earnest would do nothing for my
self that am not ready to give In a republic
there must he no discrimination. Equality Is in
dispensablc to fraternity"
Mr.. Watterson is the leading democrat of
Kentucky, was an officer in the confederate
army, has served in Congress, and edits the
most influential democratic paper of the
South. His address was carefully prepared,
and this extract cannot be taken as the gush
Of an incautious and enthusiastic moment.
Watterson said what he believes and what
he desires. When he demanded the pen
soning Of the confederate soldiers, he merely
gave utterance to what the South believes it
is entitled to, and what it has always deter
mined TO have as soon as it has the power to
take it, And the South confidently believes
its claims will be conceded the moment
the democratic party gets full possession of
the government

The European Congress.

The Berlin Congress proceeds slowly, tax
ing up one question at time. The only point
settled up to Saturday was in regard to the
boundary of Northern Bulgaria. That was
determined, and it accords exactly with the
Bulgaria of the Biographies; that is, about
thirteen thousand square miles bounded by
the Danube, the Black Sea and the Balkan
mountains. Northern Bulgaria is to be
created, according to the general understand
ing, into a principality, independent of
Turkey and ruled over by Christian Sc
lected by the European powers. According
to the arrangements so far made Turkey
loses forever her rich province of Bulgaria,
and Russia without gaining actual territory
gains position. That is to say, she has the
advantage of clearing from her path the i'm
pregnable fortresses which have heretofore
been the best defense of Turkey, and substi-
tuting weak province which she can, if
need be, overrun and trample on as she
considers the agreement in regard to Bull
garia nothing less than the abandonment by
Russia of the policy which has guided her
relations with Turkey during the last hun
bred years. The process of piecemeal nib
bling at Turkeys outlying provinces and
the periodical re-opening of the Eastern
question whenever circumstances seemed to
favor it, it says, would have been continued

GENERAL FREMoNT.--Genera Fremont in
conversation with his friends upon his ap-
pointment as Governor of Arizona has ex-
pressed himself as extremely gratified at
this mark Of favor on the part of the Presi.
dent. He says that his has been checkered
career, and filled with much honor and mis-
fortune, but that he is convinced that the
only course left for him 10 pursue is to begin
life anew, and he could choose no better
field than in the territories, where he will be
away from the associations and constant re-
membrance of bis more prosperous days, and
standing on a plane with his newly-acquired
friends, he can move on with them in mat
ters of politics and enterprise. Mrs. Ere
mont, it is stated, fully sympathizes with
her husbands new ambition, and will share
with him the honors and responsibilities OF
his new field of action.
