COncernfng John Sherman.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE TO SIT WITH
OPEN DooRs-DEvELoPMEN PROM
IsED THAT WILL PUT TO AN END THE
REPUBLICAN CRY OF REVOLUTION.
WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The era OF
revelation dates from tomorrow. The
desperation of the men who have been
yelling revolution" for fortnight will
be apparent when the session OF Mr.
Potter's committee terminates tomorrow
evening. That yelling "revolution" Is
equivalent to the cry of ''stop thief" will
not be disputed after the days work is
finished
To-morrow's work bv the Potter Com
mtttee will be to elicit the evidence in
regard to the doings of John Sherman
and Company in Louisiana.
The first witness will be Joseph E. An
derson.
The committee will sit with open doors
and there will be some mighty interest
ing reading for the public on Saturday
morning.

THERE are some faint-hearted Demo-
Gratis who say that the Potter Resolution
has united the Republican party and was
therefore amistake.i iButwere the Republi
cans ever disunited when it came to vot-
ing, counting in or dividing spoils ?
Never. They were always united. Howe
and Conkling and Blaine might hate
schurz, Hayes andi Evarts,.. but on a
vote they would all be together against
the Democracy as solid as chunk OF
pork. No calculation ought to be made
upon the weakness of the Republican or
ganization. Its leaders will ALA togeth
er as against their political adversarie.
however much they may hate each other

Arrival of the Cuban Patriot,
General NEacceO.

NEW YORK, May 30-The steamer At
las, from Jamaica, which arrived to-day,
brought General Antonio Macceo, the
well-known Cuban patriot general, ac-
companied by Brgadiers Arcadia Leite
Vidal and Juan Rios Rivera, his aids.
He is of distinguished appearance, over
six feet in height, has piercing black
eyes, heavy whiSkers and mustache, land a
thoroughly martial bearing. In CONVEX
sation he stated that he had some import
ant business to transact in New York,
having been commissi oned by the pro-
yisional government, aud by the courtesy
of the Spanish General Campos to pass
through the hines. There was no TRUTH
he said, in the report of his surrender,
but, in view of "the courtesy of General
Campos," his position is considered a
curious one. He said that since the be-
ginning of the war he had been wounded
twenty-one times, and carries four bull
lets in his body. There had been prom
ises to the patriots of reinforcements and
ammunition from New York, but no re-
lance could be placed in them. During
six years those promises have amounted
to absolutely nothing. The patriot army
to-day numbered only about 200 men,
but they are well armed and drilled They
have opposed to them 10000 that give
them not a moments rest. The patriot
army numbered among its officers Gems.
Jordan and Reeves, Americans, the lat
ter recently deceased; Maxine Gomez
and Modesto Diaz, Dominicans; Gen.
Prado, of Peru, and Col. Rolotf, dis
tinguished Polish officer. The diplomat
ic agent here, Mr.. Reheverria, is Vene-
zuelan, and so is Gen. Baretto. General
Macceo further said that the war must
continue, though there is no more CON
gress or standing government. Affairs
are under the direction of Manual Cal
var, the head of the provisional govern
ment. Generals Fehz Figueredo and
Iiut Co.'s Jose Lecreh and Miguel Santo
Cruiz Paches are now in Jamai ca on an
important mission from Calvar-The
surrender of Cuban officers and men
Macceo claims, has been exaggerated n
to numbers. While protesting against
the report of his own surrender he could
not well explain how it came or why II
was confirmed by all the Havana jour
mails. He thinks that the conciliatorN
policy OF Jovellar and Campos has done
more injury to the Cuban cause than al
the Spanish forces combined.

A PIECE OF TURKEY THROWN INTO
PERsIA.
LONDON, May 81. 1878.
The following are the points which the
governments of England and Russia have
agreed upon, subject to the considera-
tian and decision Of the Berlin Con-
gress:-
First-There shall be two Bulgarian
provinces-one north of the Balkans un-
der a prince; the other, south of the Bal
kans (not to touch the Egean Sea, aud
its name to be chosen by the Congress J,
with Christian Governor aud the gov
ernment modelled upon that of the Eng
lish colonies.
Second-The Turk ish troops shall
withdraw from the latter province and
not re-enter.
Third-Englaud deplores but will not

Fourth-England reserves the right to
discuss in the Congress all International

cieHt justification for hostile interference,
and Russia promises not 10 further ad-
vance her frontier in Asia.
Sixth-Russia will give up Bajazid
to Turkey at the request of England,
but in exchange Turkey shall cede to
Persia the province of Ketour (close to

ed piece of territory, and the right of 1t,
Russia says, belongs to Persia.
Seventh-Russia promises neither 10
take the money indemnity in land nor
to interfere with England's claims on
Turkey as a creditor, the point as to the
payment of the war indemnity to be dis
cussed by the Congress.

to reorganize Epirus, Thessaly and other
Greek provinces. -

of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus shall

A Case of Opium "Jim.Jams. :,

FROM the Austin (Nev.) Reveille.
In Chinatown there is a Chinaman
who is afflicted with peculiar sickness
which is probably the result of a free
and continuous indulgence in opium
smoking. He is perfectly conscious,
but has horrible visions, which he des-
cribes to his friends and visitors of his
own race with great minuteness. He is
not violent, but the other Cinnamon
assert that he is possessed of devil, and.
for fear that the evil spirit may get loose
and make things warm in Chinatown,
they have chained the bedeviled Mon
gol a. ia to hi b d, and he entire pop
ulaeion OF Chinatown are engaged in
the attempt to exercise the devil by
means OF fire crackers and joss paper.

of c6nnoisseurship and natural wor-
ship of the beautiful never happens
in the particular class Of curiosities

found worthy to execute much that
was fine in its own name.
