Washington, June 1.-The Potter
Investigating committee met to-day;
all the members present. Potter an
nounced as a subcommittee to visit
Florida, Hunton, Springer and IIiscock.
James E. Anderson, of Philadelphia,
previously Supervisor of Registration Of
East Feliciana Parish, La, was the
first witness called. After giving de-
tailed statement as to the duties of Su-
pervisor of Registration, Anderson said
he had seen the document known as the
''Sherman Protest. and that 1t had
been altered.
While in New Orleans he Anderson
heard that John Sherman was in the
Tcity, desirous to see Don Weber and
himself, whereupon they called. Weber
advanced, addressing Sherman, who re-
marked: ''Gentlemen, 1 am glad to
see you. understand there is some
difficulty in your respective parishes.
This is time when the assistance of
every Republican and true patriot is
needed, and trust you will stand by
us.''
They were assured by Sherman that
they would he cared for, as Hayes
would control the federal patronage.
He afterwards informed them in writ
ing as to whom they should look for
the fulfllment of his promises.
Judge Shellabarger appeared as coun-
sci for Sherman. A letter was produced,
signed by witness, addressed to Weber,
stating that Packard was raising hi
because Of their refusal to protest
against the returns in their respective
Parishes. af
Secretary Sherman appeared, and the
letter which was claimed by Anderson
to he reply to his letter, was shown
10 Sherman, who said: "Mr. Chair
man, I believe from the view I have
taken, that 1 never wrote such let
ter"
The alleged letter of Sherman's was
then read. 1t is in substance AS fol-
lows: "Your note of even date just re-
ceived. Neither Mr.. Hayes, myself, or
other gentlemen with me, shall forget
the obligations under which you will
have placed us, if you stand firm in the
position you are taking. I am justified
in assuring you that you will be provi-
ded for as soon after the 4th of March
as possible. - lt

The inquiry into the cause Of the
massacre Of Custer and his men, pro-
posed by our Delegate, w. w. Corlett,
and which will probably be made by the
Military Committee of the House of
Representatives, is due to the memory
of the victims as well as to the military
reputation Of great and patriotic SOL
dier. When the dreadful news was re-
ceived that Custer and nearly all his
command were slaughtered by the Sioux
general cry was raised that the head
long courage and desire for distinction
attributed to the gallant Generalproved
superior to his military judgment, and
that he allowed himself and his men to
be trapped and killed by the savages.
In time, however, sinister rumOrs came
floating about that had Custer been
seconded i'm his attack as well as his
confidence in his subordinates led him
to expect, the massacre would not have
occurred, and that decisive victory,
instead Of defeat, would have rewarded
the courage of Custer and his men.
Even the Sioax themselves bear some
testimony that throws light on that
dark event, and, when taken in con-
nectien with the statements Of men at
tached to the force under Reno, shows
that searching inquiry is necessary.
We hope that the result Of an inquiry
will be to show that every man did his
duty on that fatal day. But we also
desire to see those, If any there are,
who have been guilty of disobedience
or unsoldierly conduct punished as they
deserve, and the fair fame of the dead
heroes vindicated before the world.

To KILL RATs.-A friend informs us
that he has found fine cornmeal and
plaster of-paris mixed-s OF the latter
the best and safest thing in the world to
kill rats. He says that, as the plaster
is tasteless, the rodents eat it along with
the meal, and afterward it absorbs the
Juices of the stomach and causes death.

Prof. Cummings Lecture.

Prof. Cunning delivered the first
lecture of his course last evening at
Union Hall, to large and intelli-
gent audience. His discourse,
which was an able and exhaustive
exposition of the theory Of evolu-
ton, from the merest primal germs
up to the existing order of creation
and man, was listened to through
out with the closest attention, and
at times, received great applause.
In showing the gradual changes by
which the worm, the jelly
fish, the radiate, the articulate, &c.,
developed into the centipede, the
butterfly, the fish and the animal,
with completed and organized
members and functions, he aided
and illustrated his rare powers Of
verbal description, by striking and
truthful chalk sketches upon can
vass, of the forms under discussion,
executed with surprising rapidity.
He traced the progress of life
through the various eras OF the
Granite, Devonian, old and new
Silurian, Carboniferous, old red
Sandstone, and later strata up to
that of Florida, which represented
the very youngest Of all in the
United States, geologically, and
which soience shows to be at least
150, 900 years old. The peculiar and
curious forms of all these eras, as
preserved in petrifactions. were
skillfully portrayed upon the can.
vass, and described in the Profess
sor's eloquent style. Life existed
800, 900, 900 of years without o
mouth, a body or members, and
and 100000 of years more with.

The San Diego Ghosts.

The NeiOs Of Saturday publishes
the following note from Rev.
Father Maloney in relation to the
ghosts or spirit manifestations at
Murrillo's house near the old San
Diego Mission:
I have carefully examined tn e
whole matter in connection with
those spirits or demons, said to ap.
pear at the old Mission, in which so
much excitement prevails at pres
ent, and, in my opinion, the whole
affair is humbug, a delusion and a
snare. [Signed]
