SHERMAN'S BLUFF.
His Letter to Hon. CiarksOn N. Potter In
Relation to His share in the
Election FraudR.

WASHINGTON, May Secretary Sherman
has addressed the following letter to Mr. Pot
ter, chairman OF the investigating committee
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 90.
Hon. Clarkson N. Potter. Chairman. ETC., House
OF Representatives.:
Sri observe that the resolution of the
House, under which your committee is or
ganized, singles me out personally by name
from among twenty or more gentlemen who
were present at the request of President
Grant or the chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee to attend and witness the
action of the Returning Board upon the pres
ldental election returns in the State of Louis
lana in 1876; and in substance charges that at
that election, in East Feliciana parish and
part of West Feliciana parish, in Louisiana,
the Republican vote was withheld and not
cast, in pursuance and execution of con-
spiracy by such voters; that in furtherance of
such conspiracy James E. Anderson, super
visor of registration in East Feliciana,
ana ana d. A. Wei Weber IS. supervisor of regis
tested that said election in such parishes
had not been free and fair, and that there
upon the Returning Board of the State
falsely and fraudulently excluded the votes
of said precincts, and by means whereof, and
OF other false and fraudulent action of said
Returning Board, the choice of the people of
that State was annulled and reversed, and
that such action by the said Weber and An
derson was induced or encouraged by the
assurance OF Hon. John Sherman, now Secre-
tary of the Treasury"
This resolution requires you to inves tgate
three allegations, and upon the truth of these
depends the accusation against me. viz:
First-That there was conspiracy among
the voters to withhold and not cast their
votes, and with view to make false charge
as to the election.
Second-That in point of fact there was
free and fair election in East and West Fe-
liciana, which was falsely protested and re-
turned by said Anderson and Weber, by which
the votes OF these parishes were falsely and
fraudulently excluded by the Returning
Board.
Third-That the offense of Anderson and
Weber was encouraged by assurances from
me.
With. the view to meet this accusation.
which, so far as it affects me- declare and
know to be absolutely destitute of even the
shadow of truth, | respectfully ask and now
make formal application for leave to be repre-
Sented before your committee by coun-
sci. In the investigation of all
charges affecting myself personally,
l tender and offer to prove that
in point of fact the election in East and
West Feliciana parishes was governed and
controlled by force, violence and intimidation,
SO revolving as to excite the common indigna-
ton of all who became conversant with it, and
that proof was submitted to that effect, not
only before the Returning Board in evi ence

THE POTTER RESOLUTION.
New Orleans Sentiment from a New York
StandDOtnt,

New YORK May H,-The Herald New Or
leans special says: "The Potter resolution,
and its attendant opening of the Louisiana
case has created anything but q pleasant
feeling here at the revival of the question
raise her crops and attend to business.
Of large number of gentlemen, merchants
and prominent citizens, interviewed on the
subject, nearly every one regretted that the
subject had been opened at all. and expressed
the opinion that Southern congressman could
have been better employed in trying to get
something for their constituents relative to
their harbors, rivers and levees, instead of
squabbling over what can only disturb mat
ters generally.
Hayes, since his action toward Louisiana
and South Carolina, has made many friends
among non-politicians, and he is more liked
than Tilden.'

provided for, at least until the pending inves-

ragged edge, and his chances are not improv-

The Potter committee will organize to-mor-

fully determined that subcommittee will be
sent to either Louisiana or Florida. That
will depend on the developments of the inves-

Hayes and John Sherman are just now
making great show of Indifference, and ut
tering loud cries of defiance, but 1t is easy to
see that their game Is a bluff, and that at
heart they are thoroughly emoralized.

The Russian Naval Offcers-Their Rusi-

naval officers, whose presence in New York
has given rise to SO much comment and so
many surmises during the past few days,
still continue to move in a mysterious way,
and battle the curiosity of those who would
fain know more of the nature of their bust
ness in New York. Four of them are stopping
at the Everett House and three at the West
minister, but though they come and go almost
hourly during the day, and receive great
at the hotels than elsewhere of what they are
doing. That they are Dusy about something
is apparent enough from their movements,
as from early in the day until nightfall they
are occupied.
From dispatches received in New York yes
terday'it was learned that the paymaster of
the Cimbria and twelve others Of her officers
had left on the, steamer Lewiston, four of
them of superior rank, en- route for Newport,
and the others for Portland and Boston.
