Mr., !. n 4 spc.allxs.

MOBILE, ALA, July Jefferson Davis
yesterday made an address ut Mississippi
City on the occasion Of the presentation to
him OF gold badge and certificate OF menu
bership OF the Association OF the Army OF
Tennessee. he said The question Of a States
right Of secession In 1861 was at least de-
.batable, but the course pursued by the Fed
eral Government after the war had since
vindicated the Judgment OF those who held
that separation was necessary for the safety
and freedom Of the southern States, and
the unsuccessful attempt 10 separate LEFT
those Ia power to work their will as it had
been manifested when they first obtained
control OF the Government. Events are
too recent to require recapitulstion..
and the ruin they have developed
requires no other memorial tnan the
material and m0r1l wreck which the
country presents. He rexsserts his unsha.
Ken belief in the right OF secession and the
duty Of citizens to battle In the cause OF
State after secession. He said Albert Sid
ncy Johnston was the greatest soldier and
ablest man, civil or military, Confederate or
Federal, and reviewing the operations about
yicksburs and Port Hudson spoke in glow
inr terms of their defenders, adding, "Let
no one suppose that in thus vindicattng our
cause, in paying due tribute to gallant deeds,
am seeking to disturb such peace as we
have, or to avoid the logic OF events. You
have done your duty in the past, and |
would ask no more than that you should
fulfil equally we'll the duties OF the present
and future. The bravest are. as rule,
the gentlest, and they are also the truest
to every obligation assumed. You struck
for independence, and were unsuccessful.
You agreed to return to the Union, and
abide by the Constitution and the laws
made in conformity with it. Thus far and
and no farther do understand your prom
Use TO extend.'' During his remarks he
spoke OF the necessity OF wise laws and an
honest administration OF the Government.
He concluded by saying: "Trnth and JUS
tice and honor presided at the birth Of the
Federal Union, and its mission can only be
performed by constant attendance upon it.
For this there is not needed the condition
OF human perfectiblitv, but only so much
virtue as will control vice and teach the
mercenary and self-seeking that power
and distinction aud honor will be awarded
to patriotism, capacity, and integrity. To
YOU, self-sacrifcing, seIf-denying defenders
of imperisbable truth and inalicnabe rights,
look for the performance of whatever
man can do for the welfare and happiness
Of his country"

The Potter Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Mr. Butler pro-
duced a tablet containing tables compiled
from the Returning-Boar figures, which
showed that after the Board had thrown
out sufficient Democratic parishes to elect a
General Assembly it was found that there
was still two Hayes electors defeated,
whereupon the Returning Board proceeded
to further throw out parishes and precincts
until they had succeeded in securing ma
iority Of Hayes electors. The witness
stated that, assuming the figures to be cor
rect, the findings of the Returning Board
left the General Assembly Republican in
both branches, but still left two Hayes cleo
tors in a minority.
Dir. Butler: Whereupon the Board pro-
ceeded to give the screw another twist.
Witness: That is not my testimony.
=. Question: How much, on the returns as
returned by the Returning Board, did the
lowest Hayes elector run behind Packard
Answer: These tables show a majority
for Governor OF 410, while two Republican
electors, Levissec and Joseph, were in a
minority.
MIR. Butler asked the witness whether
there was any ground Of legal right, form
Of law. or constitutional provision by which
Nichols and his people were otherwise than
an organized mob at the time Nichols as
sumed to be Governor. ..e..s- .....
Kellogg repliedthat he knew Of no reason
why Packard was not the legal Governor,
and the Packard Legislature a legal Legis-
lature, and the Supreme Court at that time
the legal and undoubted Supreme Court.
Butler asked whether President Hayes
did not destroy the court by appointing
Judge King collector OF the port OF New
Orleans. .r.
Kellogg: Tile appointment was on the
ground that King surrendered one office by
taking another. &C.,.
Butler. after preliminary statement,
asked Kellogg whether he did MT believe
that the President appointed Judge King
collector and Judge Morgan to place in
Egypt for the purpose OF breaking up the
Supreme Court, so that Packard could have
no tribunal before which to contest his right
to the goyernorship. ..
Representative Hiscock objected to the
question, which he said was predicated
merely on an opinion of witness that
Nichols was afraid OF the court. '.
Kellogg stated that King was appointed
collector on the recommendation 0! Thomas
G.. Anderson and himself, together with
other citizens Of Louisiana. "a
Mr. Butler asked: DO you know whether
Kings name was Withdrawn by the Presi-
dent after Bowles Baker returned from
Texas? [Laughter.]
Kellogg: Tie name was not sent in to the
Senate.
The committee then adjourned. The
examination will be continued tomorrow.
