WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHISGToN, d, e.,
July p, 1873.

Mr.. Pottcr's Committee opened at
Atlantic City yesterday, aud the first
witness was called by the Republicans
1t seems that Others besides the visit
ing statesmen will be called to testify
there, and therefore that the result
may be something besides whitewash
ing of tho real authors and prom otors
of the Louisiana and Florida rascal
ties. The Louisiana subcommittee
makes slow progress, but is daily get
ting valuable evidence.
Senator Burnside and his Committee
tn form plan for reorganzlng the
Aamy are in secret session at the
Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs.
The object of secret sessions is IL Is
SAID, to prevent pressure being brought
upon them to change their action as
they progress in their work. cant
believe Committee which is too timld
TO meet criticism while performing its
duties will have courage to recommend
a radical change in anything. Burn
side never would have been Chairman
of that Committe if Blaine, who pre-
pared the whole job, had not determln-
ed that the Army shuuld remain sub
stantially os it is-larger than it should
be and with one officer to five or six
men. was in the Senate on the day
when the adroit Maine politician put
through the amendment creating the
Committee, and saw how cunningly
he captured the Rhode Island Senator
who up to that day, had favored dit
terent plan. Burnside 8 head is as full
Of vanity as an egg is OF meat, and
Blaine drew his amendment in such
way that no one but Burnside could be
Chairman Of the committee. In this
matter Blaine will really control the
Republican portion of the Committee
and dictate the report Of its Republic
can members. 1t seems to me that Il
regularly published report OF the pro-
ceedings of the Committee would be
good thing, and enable members OF
Congress as well as the people at large
to determine what to do when Con-
grcss meets.
There was manifest at the last ses-
sion OF Congress disposition to dis
courage the presentation Of claims for
Pension by soldiers Of the late war
and their heirs. The legislation on
he.subiect can bear no ohter construc
ton, and the Commissioner OF Pensions
in communication of Il few days
since to the Secretary of the Interior,
claims to have originated the legisla-
ton and very plainly and pointedly
commends it. There are two views to
take of this: One is that the Radical
party is tired OF paying what it prom
ised to the soldiers and their repre-
sentativcs. The other is that the
soldiers and their representatives are
presenting fraudulent claims to suct
an extent as to make the Pension list
Il mere record of frauds. The Commis-
sioner insinuates that the latter is the
fact. REX.
