The Potter Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Potter COM
mittec met to-day, with Kellogg on the
stand. He testified that he met visiting
statesmen while in New Orleans. Parlor
"P,'' St. Charles Hotel, was their rendez-
vous. He rarely went there without meet
ing some OF them. Had no knowledge OF
any letter or telegram being sent from Co.

member or members OF the Returning
Board during the count.
Mrs. jerks did not come to Washington
at his request; is mistaken in her statement
that she had frequent interviews with him
had occurred would have remembered
them; has no recollection OF such inter-
views. The chairman questioned witness
very closely as to whether or not be had
any knowledge, as Governor Of the State Of
Louisiana, that there had been no protests
made from the parishes Of East and West
Felciana. Witness replied that the record
would show whereupon Potter repeated
the question and requested direct reply,
which witness refused to give, saying, ="
know nothing about il, but il you will give
me five minutes I can find it on record"
Potter: We can refer to the record our
selves" Witness well, then, cannot
reply further to the question" Witness
then stated that be had heard OF the exist
ence OF Democratic Intimidation in the
parishes OF East and West Feliciana, but
had no personal knowledge OF the same.
He could not say from personal knowledge
whether the protest Of Joseph E. Anderson
was before the Returning Board or not.
Butler interrupted Kellogg, and said in
way of question: 81 understand the state
OF facts to be that all the members OF the
visiting commission but one had Federal
offices given or rendered them. and that one
was largely interested in whiskey case
which was settled. All OF the Returning

Kellogg then said that according TO his
knowledge some OF the commission had been
appointed to Federal Offices, and some SUI
pervisors had also been appointed. With
the exception OF James Z. Anderson such
supervisors were appointed because they
were competent to discharge the duties and
were consistent working Republicans.

England IS excited over The, secret treaty
with Turkey 1ore excited than Russia IL s
and not without reason. Lii fact, this treaty
and the portion of the San Stefano treaty
which has been accepted by the congress at
Berlin constitute together precisely such an
adjustment Of the Oriental relations OF Rus
STA and England as WINS proposed by the
Car Nicholas in 1853, and then rejected
by England with great flourish of trum-
pets, and even with specific declaration
against it from Lord John Russell
based on the ground that it would
not be fair for England to make "secret
treaty" with one Of the Powers to ne2otla.
tion in which several others had an equal
interest. In January, 1853, the Car Nlcho-
las bad with the British Ambassador, sir
George Hamilton Seymour. several personal
conferences, which became somewhat IL.
nous. as reported in Seymour's dispatches
aud laid before Parliament. In those con-
ferences the Emperor stated clearly his own
opinions OF the condition OF the Ottoman
Empire, and OF the necessity the great Pow
ers were under Of providing against the
event OF its actual collapse, He spoke OF it
as moribrnd. and the designation OF the
Sultan as the sick man" originated with
him in those conferences. lie believed the
political and social condition Of Turkey to
be beyond remedy; said so plainly, and
proposed that Russia and England-a great
continental and 4 great maritime power
should come to an understanding as to the
attitudes they would respectively hold. He
desired to be dominant toward Constantine
pie rs against Austria, and agreed to give
England Egypt and stand by her as against
France.
Nicholas proposed all this before the Cri-
mean war, and England denounced it as in
famous and now, after having made that
war, and after having seen another far more
bloody wagcd on the same issue; after
TWENTY-FIVE years Of ineffective struggle
against the inevitable, England accedes ut
last to the policy OF the Car, and even
seiZes upon it with cry OF triumph. For
the settlement, as made, is substantially
what Nicholas acknowledgement takes
hand with Russia in stripping the dying
Sultan Of his dominions. Nicholas ofered
her Egypt, and the principal significance OF
the possession Of Cyprus is that it is guar
antee for Egypt and the Egyptian canal.
On the other hand, what the treaty OF Ber-
lin accords is Russian ascendancy IN the
Balkan countries and the entering wedge OF
Russian advance in Armenia. But Eng
land scorned this when she might have had
it by a fair agreement between dominant
Powers only to glory over it when gained
by trickery.-Ne,c Yorh Herald.
