WAsHINGToN, Oct. 25.-The runor men
toned in these dispatches last evening, that
James +: Anderson had recanted his testi-
mOny before the Potter committee, proves
true That he has done SO is now definitely
known. The recantaton was given into the
hands Of DIR. Houston, Of the Republican State
Central Committee OF Pennsylvania few
days ago. The affidavit is duly attested and
full. 1t alleges that his (Andersons) testlmo-
ny before the committee concerning the
Weber-Anderson-S Sherman letter was untrue
and false in every particular. He WAS paid,
he says, to commit perjury, and the subor-
nation Of perjury was the act Of Mr.. A. NJ
Gibson, Washington correspondent of the
New York tSnn. Mr.. Gibson has been closely
connected with all the doings of the commit
tee, particularly in procuring witnesses.
The Republicans are going to make all out
Of this they can. 1t is stated that Mr.. Gibson
has been presented to the grand jury of this
district for Indictment for subornation of
perjury. This latter statement cannot be
verified tonight

that Republican meetings are being broken
up In those States by armed Democrats and
the rights of suffrage otherwise interfered
with. These kilograms also state that when
the Democrats break up q meeting and Federal

however, they have broken up the meetings.

DUBLIN, Oct 24--The sudden death of

the entire Catholic community throughout
Ireland. Although his health has been feeble
for many months no apprehension of his i'm
mediate death had been felt He was very
assiduous and hard worker even up to the
day OF his death. There is not o parish
throughout all Ireland where the news of his
death has not been received by the people as

his demeanOr had not prevented him from OBJ

his people Speculation is already rife az to

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25-The Eueuino Star
says: Friends Of the Hon. Matt Carpenter say
that he is making a still hunt for the Wiscon-
sin Senatorship, and the contingencies are
such that his chances for election are equally
good AS Senator Howe's. A wel1-posted pub
lie official Ia the affairs OF Wisconsin says if
the Republicans get control of the Legisla-
turo Senator Howe will assuredly be
reelected. The danger is, however, thai
the Greenbackers may elect enough
members to hold the balance
of power in the Legislature, and in that event
Senator Howe would probably be defeated. as
the manner in which the Republicans are now

that the Republicans cannot make a coalition
with the Greenbackers. If the Greenbackers

Modified EaecyseOn

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Attorney Cen
eral 81 few days ago refused to pay out Of the
funds of his department money due supervi-
sors Of elections appointed ia the several
Staets during the recent elections. The

vision made for paying the appointees. His
predecessors had paid such supervisors
without any special appropriation being made
Tor them, it was true, but he thought it
the supervisors held that the department had
no right to limit their expenses
Controller Porter, Of the Treasury, wrote q
letter to the Attorney General, asking a re-
vision Of his decision, and suggesting that
the chief supervisors be paid after % revision
Of their accounts, for all the supervisors, and
allow them 10 pay their subordinates The
Attorney General to-day consented to pay
the, supervisors out of his department with

A Deniaa from GOraam The Terrible
South Carolina Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-Mr. Gorham, secre-
tary of the Republican Congressional Com
mlttee, says that the statement in the Post of
this city, that the committee, or any one in it's
behalf, had furnished money or advanced the
purchase Of arms for South Carolina Repub-
Leans, Is utterly false, as Is also the charge
that the committee, or any member, had com

known at the committee rooms, as well as at

hopes that the strong arm of the law may
reach the offenders. All charges by the Dem
ocratic press, which seek to make unfortunate
colored victims appear In the attitude of as
sailants Mr.. Gorfam says are grotesque, ab-
surd and untrue. He thinks they are put
