JOHN SHERMAN has sent, to be published
in the newspapers Of the country, a letter,
which will be found in another column Of
this APPEAL. 1t is, like all that emanates
from the present secretary of the treasury,
piece of impudence that even his paid friends,
who are pensioners on the bounty of the gov
eminent. cannot fail to admit is SUCH He
proposes TO prove acts of intimidation in East
and West Feliciana preceding the election
and about the time of registration. That
done, he says, the inquiry of the Potter COM
mlttee must come to an end. But Mr.. Sher-
man is mistaken. The investigation will not
end until he has been proved to be beyond
dispute the author of the letter which Mrs
jerks has sworn she dictated in parlor p In
that letter he promised to pay Anderson and
Weber for robbing the citizens of the Felici-
anas of their votes, and, for so promising, lie
is to be impeached and disgraced, driven into
obscurity, branded for all that he is as the
chief of the band of criminals who hesitated
at nothing to accomplish their purpose of
perpetuating Radical rule at the south. This
letter of Johns will not do. He can neither
coax, cajole nor bully the Potter committee
away from the line of their duty. 1t is writ

How the Coming Race at Louisville
WAS Made.

New York World, June 23d: The ex-
pectabons of Messrs. John W. COnley and
Budd Doble that the match between the Cal
iiornia mare Mollie M 'Carthy and the Ken
tucky horse Tenbroeck will be the big turf
event of 1873 seem to be in a fair way of re-
aliZation, The intereA vest of the noun
taius amounts to perfect Juror, while the
managers of the railroads centering at Louis
vile say that all the signs Indicate that an
enormous crowd will be preseIton the LOUIS
vile course on the Fourth of July. Much
has been printed and more has been said
about the genuineness of the match. That it
is genuine 6ae there seems to be no doubt,
although the parties TO the contract have GER
tainly acted IN a way that makes the whole
affair look very much like gate money ex
hibition. Mr.. John w. Conley, who it will
be remembered was associated with Mr..
Peter Kellogg as manager OF the Breeders
centennial trotting meeting at Philadelphia
in 1876, spent the past winter an California.
and while there, aud after Mollie NJ Carthy
had beaten Jake at two mile heats at Sacra-
mento early in March, conceived the idea OF
tins match. He at once made a proposition
to Mr.. Henry Winters, owner of Molhe M
Carthy, and obtaiuea his consent for the
race, providing that he (Gonleyl could get
Harper's consent to run Tenbroeck. Conley
then came east, and going to Lexington met
Mr.. b. 9. Bruce, of the Kentucky Lire Stock
Record. Together they met Harper and OBJ
tanned his consent TO run ihe horse in TIE
race and took portion of the stake. Al this
had been done under the pledge of secrecy.
Mr.. COnley then went to louisville and
hired of Mr.. Lewis Clark, president of the
louisville jockey club, that clubs race-course,
with Rii privileges, for the Fourth CT July.
After the agreelse9t hal been consummated
Mr.. Conley informed l,,r. Clark that he
wanted the track for a match ostCeen Ten
brock and Mollie NJ Carthy, whereupon bar
Clark rushed into print saying THAI he had
arranged for the match, evidently hoping
that by SO doing the louisville 0llb would
get the credit for bringing about SO great an
event. Jealousies end rIvairiRs between as
sociatious and owners have gradually brought
out the truth. The Louisville course, on the
Fourth of July. TO all iutents and purposes,
belongs to Mr.. Conley, who has given or sold
the pool-selln9 privilege to Budd Do6le.
The race wall be under the rules of the Lou
isville club, and the club VIII furnish the
judges and other officers, so that there need
be no fear of anything wrong" Budd Do
bic has associated himself with Watts x Co,
the official booksellers, which ne virtually
had to do, as they had all the machinery.
knowing that the race would attract thou
sands to LOUISVILLE, the Louisville club ar
ranged for two days CT racing 10 precede the
"big race" and for one day $ racing TO follow.
So it now appears that the Louisville Jockey
club gives a summer meeting on the second,
third, fourth and fifth of July.
