felt coins received to-day. some were found which
in appearance and by ordinary acid tests could not
be distinguished from genuine coin. A careful ex-
animation led to the discovery that they were man

coating of silver being placed upon the surface to
make it resist the acid. The coin has the appear

detected by weight.
The cost of manufacturing these spurious coins is
about 40 per cent of the current value of the genu

rency is chiefly circulated are Philadelphia, St.

day that an expert with q capital of So could set
himself up in the business Of counterfeiting silver

IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
--..sBTNGTON June 27.-Mr. Acklen, of Louisiana,
whose name has been so unpleasantly competed
with scandalOus stories during the past week, ar
rived in Washington late this evening. His friends
saw that bo will lose time in putting at rest the
false stories which have been so industriously cir
eulated.l
1t is now reported upon what seems to be good
authority, that he will deny most positively having
offered any indignity to the lady in whose company
he was spending short time at public restaurant
on Tuesday evening of last week. He will also
probably deny that the door of the room in which
the lady and he were taking refreshments was
locked or that there was anyway in which he could
have locked it, and that he will deare that General
Rosser, when he went to the door and opened it.
did not enter OF lay his hands upon him.
This version of the story is sustained By the fact
that the friends of the lady whose guest she is dur
ing her stay in the city, have not felt themselves
called upon to hold Mr. Acklen 70 account for any
thing be has done, they certainly would do II ne
had offered an insult TO his companion on that Occa-
SION II may be added that the report that Mr..
Aeklen is engaged TO be married TO the lady is not
true II Is true, as reported that she accompanied
hm to the depot to bid him goodbye when he
started for NewOrleans, but there was another per-
son also in the party.

TBT TELEGEAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON June 27-General Butler seems to
have captured the Potter Committee, and TO be
running its machinery TO accomplish his own pur-
pose He is reported to have assured the committee,
IN secret session. that be can prove that contract
was made with the members of the Returning
Board that they should be kept from harm, what
ever they might find it necessary to do in returning
the State for Governor Hayes. The Democrats,
believing General Buffers promise are also reported
70 have reached the conclusion to let him take
charge Of affairs and manage them to suit himself
This may result in the continuation of the sessions
of the committee during the whole Summer.
Prominent Republicans believe that General
Buffers purpose is to lay the foundation for an i'm
peachment of the President. The material for such
proceeding as this be expects to find in the rela
lions between prominent Republicans of the North
and the Returning Board and the events which
eliminated in the establishment of the Nichols
Government General Buffers apparent intention
seems to be to prove that Louisiana was carried for
Tlden and Packard. Without waiting for further
evidence he is reported to have expressed that
opinion already.
1t seems to have been quite clearly established
that money belonging to the Louisiana State Lot
terry was used in some way in connection with the
overthrow of the Packard Legislature. General
Butler, with host of newspaper extracts arTsyed
in chronological order in a scrap-bOok, and which
he submitted as testimony pushed his inquiry in the
direction indicated with great energy to-day, but
the net result in actual new information was not
very great. lie bad an opportunity to throw some
bricks at Mr. MacVeagh and General Harlan, and, OF
course, he did not allow the opportunity TO pass:
Mr.. William E. Chambers testimony was OF no
consequence TO the Democrats. They seemed to
suppose that they could make him admit that Gov
ernor NOyes when in Florida, represented that ne
went there as the special agent of Governor Hayes
and was authorized to make promises for him. This
Mr. Chandler most emphaticaly denied.
The Democrats were also disappointed in the char
lure the Republican case to any apprecable extent

The drift of opinion among college men and
Others, who have gathered of New-London
to see the Harvard-Yale boat race to-day, is that
Harvard's chances for winning are somewhat better
than those Of Yale, though the Yale crew is power
full and determined, and will undoubtedly make
a gallant struggle. IL is thought probable that the
race will not be rowed before p. M on account OF
the condition of the water. Forty-three yachts
started in the New-YOrk Bay Regatta yesterday.
The winners were the w. X. Brown, Nettle, Addie
