POOR POTTER.
Trouble Ahead for the Infamous
/, Ne Anderson.
And More Grief Yet for the Men Who
are Using Him.

New Orleans, June 6.-Anderson' S
testimony excites great attention here.
From here he will be proven a perjured
liar. 1t will be proven that he signed
his protest on the day of his arrival in
New Orleans Nov. 10th, 1876, and
that it was drawn in his presence and
from his own lips, and that in Noyem-
ber last it WAS on file in the records of
the State in its original condition, and
without addition or interlineation. It
is question whether the records of
the State have not been tampered with
in aid of the Tilden plot. As early as
November last many of the most i'm
portant documents appertaining to the
election of 1876, were missing from the
Office of the Secretary of State. These
include various consolidated statements
from bull-dozed parishes, all of which
passed into the custody of the Nichols
government.
Pitkin leaves tonight to give testi-
mony in Washington which will be
disagreeable to the Democrats. One
gentlemen here, it is alleged, will tes-
tify that he was offered 800, 600 by the
Tilden agents to testify falsely in this
matter.

mainder was re-appropriations and ap-
preparations priorto 1876; he congratu-
lated the country and the Democrats

THE EMPEROR.

Condition of Affairs at Berlin Since the
Attempted Assassination.
Berlin, June 6.-The recent defeat of
the governments Anti-Socialist bill in
Reichstag was a source of great chagrin
to the Court and Cabinet, and they will
be glad to take advantage of the new
situation created by Nobeling's crime
to reverse it. 1t is expected that an ex-
traordinary session of Parliament will
be convened to discuss legislative meas
ures, for the repression of the present
dangerous agitation. The Prussian
Cabinet is also considering the advisa-
bility of adopting special measures to
prevent the spread of Socialism.
At the Prussian Cabinet council, the
Crown Prince presiding, the suggestion
found favor in that the European rep
resentatives in the Berlin congress
should consider the dangers threaten
ing society from Socialism.
The sale of Nobeling's photographs,
or their exposure in shop windows is
prohibited.
The Municipal Council of Gotha
desiring to prohibit the assembling
there of the proposed Socialist congress
the legal adviser of the Council has
given his opinion that no provision of
the German law authorizes prohibition.
The actual work of the congress will
fall upon Count Schouvaloff, even if
Prince Gortschakoff goes to Berlin, as
the latter is incapable of prolonged
mental exertion.

work,ngmen in Council.

Washington, June G.-Last nights
mass meeting of Workingmen here
made very orderly and imposing dem
onstration in favor of the enforcement
of the eight hour law, and adopted
among other resolutions one recon-
mending Senator Sargent and Repre-
sentatives Banks, Butler, Wright,
Goode and Wilson, to the confidence
and support of the Workingmen of
their several districts, on the ground of
their having advocated in Congress
such measures as would give employ
ment to the millions of idle men, and
relieve the country from its suffering
condition.

1876 and 1878, SO that there was'a saw
ing in the above de eflciencies of S23, 900, :
600, and allowing for deficiencies prior
to 1876 the saving would amount to
s2s, ,OOO, 900.
Foster denied the statement and said
the amount saved was not over s19,-
OOO, 200.
Clymer explained the navy appropri-
alton, and said the large deficiency was
owing to the reckless defiance of law in
that department which allowed the
fund to be diverted from its purpose.
Willis New York; said the commit
tee on naval expenses had recommitted
to the committee on appropriation
80, ,217 900 claims on contracts from the
department, for although the depart
ment had ignored the law, yet, these
contractors had some rights.
Whitthorne defended his refusal to
assent to the payment of the S3,2l7,-
900.
General debate closed, the committee
rose and the House adjourned.

SCANDAL IN ILLINOIS.

A Disgraceful case-Great Excitement.
Mahomet, H., June 6. : Another
scandal case has fallen upon this COM
munity, and thrown it into decided
excitement. 1t is alleged that one J.
A. Carson, a druggist here, seduced a
young girl, Miss Knox, some months
since, while she lived at his house, dur
ing his wife's last and long illness.
Miss Knox had borne a good character
and belonged to a good family. Her
father began proceedings against him,
but settled by taking Carson's note for
$500. He paid 300 before his wife
died, after which he settled the whole
matter six weeks ago by marrying the
girl, two weeks after which she gave
birth to child. A few days since it
came to the knowledge of the public
that he had procured her to sign
statement in the presence of witnesses
that twenty-nine different men, naming
many prominent citizens, had had Illicit
intercourse with her since her recent
childbirth. Some of these parties had
him arrested yesterday, and all of them
swore that the statement was false, and
she swore that Carson forced her to
sign it by threatening to kill her if she
did not. At this point preparations
were made by some to horsewhip him,
but he was gotten away under guard of
those who wished to avoid lynching

The Army Bill-Indian Transfer Matters.
Washington, June 6:-The friends of
the army tonight are thoroughly con-
fident that in view of the emphatic ma
ture Of to-day's action of the Senate ON
the army appropriation bill, the House
will be speedily forced to abandon its
propositions for the reduction and reor-
ganization. The number of Senators
who voted to reduce the total strength
of the army from 25, 900 to 10000 men,
was only 10, including only 4 Of any
prominence. On the other hand. 10
other Democrats united with the Re-
publicans in casting no less than 40
votes against any reduction. 1t is still
more noteworthy that not q single SEN
ator of eitherparty approved the amend
ment, by which all the House provis-
ions reorganizing the army and for re-
ducing the rank, pay, and number of the
officers were unanimously stricken out.
The vote to refer the whole. subject
to commission was also unanimous,
The proposition for the transfer of
Indian affairs to the War Department
would have been defeated il, brought to
a vote to-day. 1t is now considered
certain that this section Of the House
bill will also be stricken out tomorrow
and an amendment adopted referring
all questions involved in the proposed
transfer to a separate commission of in
quiry. The adoption of this amend
ment viii be greatly facilitated by the
obvious consideration that the bill will
thus be made homogeneous, and that
the Senate will be enabled to enter the
contest with the House, supported by
the general principles that legislation
changing the existing law cannot prop
erly be engrafted npon appropriation
bills.

CONGRESSIONAL
IIOISE.

Washington. Feb. 1.-The House
agreed to adjourn till Monday in order
to witness the torpedo experiments on
Saturday.
Baker, of Indiana, rising to ques.
tion of privilege, said that grave, if not
criminal conduct has been charged on
the doorkeeper, and the charges were
supported by aftidavits which he
thought should be brought to the atten-
tion of the House. He had II docu-
ment containing 63 names of employees
on the doorkeeper's rolls in excess of
the number authorized.
Hunton suggested that the charges
be referred to committee.
Baker then offered resolution re-
citing that Jno. w. Polk has been
guilty of corruption and malfeasance;
has required employees to pay other en-
ployes part of their salaries, and is in
terested in claims and bills pending
before Congress, and directing the
committee on rules to report on the
matter and whether the office shall he
abolished.
Mills alluded to the Boston navy
yard scandal of several years ago, in
which an attempt was made to defeat
Banks by employing men in Govern
ment yards.
Baker had his atIidavits read. The
first was by Ingram COryell, charging
that Polk has promised him the interest
in certain claims provided he would
resign his position as clerk. Polk was
interested in these claims. Other
statements were to II similar effect.
Finally the investigation was placed in
the hands of the Civil Service commit
tee, and the affidavits were omitted
from the record. After being in COM
mittee of the whole on the private
calendar the house adjourned till Mon
day.
