WASHINGTON, June l0.-The meet
ing Of the Potter conn ittee was post
poned until after 3 O'Clock.
AT A o'clock the Potter committee
examined Timothy Griffin, in the Of
flee Of the Secretary of the Senate,
who said he found by searching the
files paper authorizing Thomas C.
Anderson to act as messenger to
bring Louisiana returns. He pro-
duced paper purporting to be sign
ed by all the electors.
Elijah l.. Bugbee, Manager of the
Washington, Atlantic and Pacific tele-
graph office, was sharply examined
BY Butler on his failure to bring an
original book showing the receipt
and delivery OF certain kilograms
which witness said he could not find.
Butler said he had some memoran-
dunn taken from another book in the
office which he said was the book he
wanted, as it was the book the origi-
nal was copied from. Butler then
asked for certain message which
witness said he believed had been
eaten by rats as it had been stored in
closet along with old papers which
were not considered valuable, and
which it was found had been largely
destroyed by rats.
An amusing examination followed
which ended by Buffers producing
the check mark of George Dunning,
night clerk of the company on Feb
ruary oath, 1877, the date of the mes.
sage Butler HAD asked for. Witness
identified both check mark and tele-
gram which Butler had, and said in
answer to Butler that he did not be-
lieve he (Butler) stole the kilograms
from the office.
Mr.. Butler then produced an an
swer to the first telegram which wit
ness also said passed over his wires.

New Orleans, July 27, 1873.
AS 1t becomes necessary for the preservation
Of the health Of the city at this season of the
year, that every possible effort should be made
towards keeping the public avenues cutters
and alleys clean and free from all offensive
matter, hereby respectfully call upon the pub
lie to assist the authorities by complying with
the following requests. to wit
/. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run q sufficient
time to wash away rubbish filth, etc., and TIC.
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many Of the CROSS
streets, or streets parallel with the river, are
without water plugs, and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced in flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water.
2. Residents will please place, or instruct
their servants to place, the garbage in boxes In
front Of their dwellings before o'clock q. nn.
prior to the city carts making their rounds.
strict adherence to this plan will remove, in a
great measure. the cause Of the great number Of
Omplaints concerning the non-removal Of
garbage.
therefore earnestly request all good citizens
| to aid the authorities In keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy, and In assisting
TO remove any waste or offensive scattering
promptly.
II a proper spirit is manifested by the public.
In this respect the workings of this department.
will be greatly facilitated, and much of the.

where no special advantage exists for carry
Ing ON that particular kind Of business?
The success Of one pioneer induces others
to follow him, not only In initiating the in
tiustry, but in pitching upon location.
Again, skilled workmen are easy to obtain
near other factories of the same kind, and
this may outweigh the disadvantages OF close
competition. The fact most strongly appa-
rent In the rise and progress of our various
manufactures is that enterprise, energy and
tact are more essential to success than the
natural advantages Of location.
