New York, Feb. 8.-The Potter Sub
committee resumed the investigation OF the
cipher dispatches this morning. The room
and halls in the hotel were packed with
people. Samuel J. Tilden arrived shortly
after IL o'clock, and was Immediately
sworn. .......
His voice was weak and hoarse. He testi-
fed: Il have seen the published cipher
dispatches and translations; never saw one
of them before in any shape or form; had
no knowledge, information or suspicion
that any such kilograms existed, and had
no dealings nor gave any sanction to any
negotiations. First heard that Pelton
was in Baltimore from Edward Cooper,
who told me Pelton had received an offer
to sell out the State of South Carolina. l
Immediately answered that no money
should be paid and no negotiations enter
tanned. There was no discussion and the
conversation was brief. Isent the dispatch
in ordinary language to Pelton to come
home. He returned that night. | never
saw one of the Florida telegrams in any
shape. Did not know nor was | informed
Of any offer by the Florida Board until
after the certificate was given. Never saw
any of the Oregon dispatches referred to,
either in cipher or translation. The sub
stance of the Grover dispatch was
communicated to me by some one Some
OF these dispatches were sent to Pelton at
my residence. They were fifteen in num-
ber. Peltons habits and mine were differ

Had been disposed to have anything to

thought Peltons action was officious and
meddlesome.
"I declare before God and my country,
that the States of South Carolina and Flor.

any effort to defeat fraud by purchase.
Pelton thought different. He wanted to
fight fire with fire.
"He was guilty of an inchoate offense, and
the country will judge him. l can not give
the name of any man who told me the re-
turning boards had been debauched by the
Republicans. The evidence is public and

A Beautiful Passage.

The following is from the rover
les OF bachelor, by Ike Marvel !:
GA poor man without some sort of
religion is at best bnt poor rel,
bate, the football of destiny, with
no tie linking him to infinity and
the wonderous eternity that is even
worse-a fame without heat, Il
rainbow without a color, flower
without perfume. A man may, in
some sort, tie his hope and his hon
or to this shifting ground tackle, to
his business or the world, but a
woman without that anchor called
faith is a drift and a wreck! a
man may have some sort of moral
responsibility ont of relation to
mankind, but a woman in her
comparatively isolated sphere where
affection and not purpose is the
controlling motive can find no basis
in any other system or right action
but that of faith. A man may craze
his thoughts to truthtulness in such
poor harborage as fame and repu-
tation may stretch before him. but
a woman, where can she put her
hopes in storms, if not in Heaven I?
And that sweet truthfulness, that
abiding love, that enduring hope
mel!"wing every page and scene in
lite, lighting them with radiance
when the worlds storms break like
an army with cannon. Who has
enjoyed the love of Christian
mother but will echo the thought
with energy and hallow it with
tears ?'
