The Potter Comm ittse.

Mr.. Frank Morey, formerly republican
member of Congress from Louisiana, gave
some interesting testimony before the Pot
ter Committee yesterday. He was one OF
the counsel for the Returning Board, and
he admitted that on the face Of the returns
both Tiiden and Nichols appeared to be
elected; that the republicans thereupon fig
ured p.to see how many votes must be
thrown out to give the State to Packard;
and having achieved that they then found
they had to throw out one thousand five
hundred and twelve more votes to put in
the Hayes electors While these calcula-
tons were making, he added, they were
anxiously telegraphing to Florida to get
word Of the result there, because if
Florida was allowed to Tilden, then count
ing in republicans in Louisiana would have
been useless, and they would have spared
themselves further trouble. When they
found that Florida would be given to the
republicans they went ahead. General
Butler was anxious to know whether the
visiting statesmen did not know about these
calculations. OF course they did not. They
were really visiting babes.

The honest citizens of birmingham, a
town in Fulton county, Illinois, are in o
peck Of trouble. On the 10Th of this pres
ent month of July it became their duty to
elect police magistrate. But some OF
them had lately married and some had not
got through with their harvest and good
many of them thought the weather was
uncomfortably hot for voting, and the
result was that the respectable people
spared themselves the trouble of going to
the polls. Not SO the bummers of the town,
who promptly attended to their political
duties, and, seeing that they had the field
to themselves, selected, and what is more,
elected, for police magistrate one Thomp-
son Fountain, who had just served out q
term in Jail and had become free man
barely in time to be made police magis-
trate. atr oHs4 st-s
When the good people of Framinghanl
woke up and found Mr.. Fountain trans.
ferred from the Jail to the magistrates
bench they did not feel pleased. and ap.
pealed To- the Governor to withhold Mr..
Fountains commission. We hope he will
do nothing Of the kind. He ought to tell
them that they must make the best of this
result of their own folly. At the mex
election they will probably vote.

A despatch from Nashville, Tenn, gives
the lasts Of an ARRAY which occurred in the
streets of that city on Thursday last, grow
ing out of political differences. Mr. Samuel
H. Hicks, supporter of the Independent
candidates for county Offices, in a speech OF
q public meeting on Wednesday, made
violent personal attack on the democratic
nominee for Judge of the Circuit Court,
Judge Baxter, closing his speech with the
remark that he was responsible for his
statements and would be ready to meet the
whole Baxter family on Cherry street any
time the following day. Accordingly, at ten
o'clock on Thursday morning, Mr.. Hicks
appeared on the street named and was met
by Jeremiah Baxter, and tho two men in
stantly commenced firing. At the same
moment the Judges sons, Edward Baxter
and Nathaniel Baxter, Jr, with Jones Bax-
ter, another of the family, arrived md
Joined in the fight, being then four against
one. Hicks rotreated to a jewelry store on
the corner, firing as he fell back, and
there dropped and in q few minutes
expired, having been shot four times, while
his skull had been fractured from the blows
of pistol, showing that some of his assail-
ants had attacked him at close quarters,
probably from behind. Jones Baxter was
killed, while jeremiah. Nathaniel and wo-
man who happened to be on the street,
were wounded Both the dead men were
married, and Jones Baxter leaves three
children. As all the parties hold promi-
nent social positions the affair creates con-
siderable excitement.
1t is almost inconceivable that rational
men can be tempted to engage in such
senseless and bloody ARRAYS through politi-
cal animosity, especially when there IL
every probability in these uncertain days
that the political opponents Of to-day may
be the political colaborers Of tomorrow.
II may be all very natural for rival politi-
clans in heated campaign to indulge in
an occasional knockdown, after the fashion
of New York statesmen, but il is car
rying political feeling n little too
far when men engage in q sanguinary
street conflict in which other lives than
those of the idiots who are the principal
actors are put in jeopardy. Such tragedy
rs that at Nashville can scarcely be re-
garded as characteristic Of the "chivalry''
Of the South, for certainly there is nothing
very chivalric in four men going out well
armed to fight one and cracking his skull
with the butt ends of their pistols as we'll
as Kidding him with their bullets. Prob
ably those two deaths will not make q single
votes difference to the political parties in
Nashville, but they will bring terrible grief
and suffering to the bereaved families of the
murdered men.

Honor. 70 Columbia.

The victorious Columbia crew visited the
American quarters at the Paris Exposition
yesterday afternoon, and were welcomed by
President Barnard in the absence Of Com
missioner General Mccormick. Many
Americans were present. and the reception
of the successful oarsmen was cordial. The
crew are we'll entitled to such marks Of
appreciation from their countrymen, mas
much as their enterprise and pluck alone
carried them through daring adventure,
and the Iaurels of their great victory have
been modestly worn. fthey had failed the
disappointment would have been their own,
while their success over the flower Of the
English amateur oarsmen reflects honor on
their country as well as on themselves.
The reception to be rendered to them on
their return to New York will be hearty and
sincere, and it is to be hoped that if any
public demonstration is contemplated it
will be made in good taste, and be such as
the we'll known modesty Of the crew will
approve. 1870

An opinion has been entertained that to
fight for an idea was supreme evidence
Of the culture and civilization Of q people.
Victor Hugo, who is commonly thought TO
know more about everything than anybody
else, has stated in oil his poems, plays.
novels and in several communications to
his friends that this kind Of civilization
was possessed by Frenchmen only. His
opinion is that England fights only 10 get
possession of islands that Germany fights
only for milliards and provinces, and that
France alone possesses such superabun-
dance of pugnocity as impels her to fight
for difference Of opinion on an abstraction.
He will rejoice to hear that Japan in her
assimilation of Western conceptions has al
ready taken to herself and made her own
this quality of exalted combativeness That
she has done so is shown by the news from
Yokohama. In the streets of that city two
Buddhist priests maintained the truths OF
religion against the theories of science.
They sustained specifically theme recently
illuminated in this country by the elo-
quence of the Rev. Sambo Jasper, OF
Richmond, to the effect that the salvation
Of human souls depends upon mans be-
heving that the sun moves round the earth
and that the earth stands still. Jasper
sustained this biblical declaration with
great amplitude and rotundity OF phrase
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-07-27

here, and his fellow laborers. the Buddhist
priests, maintained it with not less bound
ing eloquence in Yokohama. But some
ribald students criticised the priests in the
Japanese city. and perhaps told the old
baldheads to Ego up" but the crowd
thought it was no joke, and fight re-
suited, in which ''the students were
MORALLY wounded" How many students
were thus treated is detail not chronicled,
but if there were many it will but the more
forcibly exhibit the danger of holding opin-
ions that ore clearly erroneous, as tried by
the infallible test of universal suffrage.
