MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.


To THE EDITOR THE HERALD:-
agree with your editorial of to-day that there 10
much ado about nothing in this Cork business. and
would like to ask representatives of the republic
can bone picking brigade. who style themselves
generals" "colonels." but not "privates" who
authorized them to speak in the name Of the Irish
people in this country either for against Grant, or
dcnounce the action OF the Cork authorities in the
matter of his reception by them? Is il not time
that departure taken in this country by
professional Irish" patriots 10 allow the men at
home to regulate their affairs in their own way,
and without foreign intcrfcrence?" If these men
have become American citizens let them attend to
matters OF American interest aud they will find
plenty of work on hand. without endeavoring To
excite feelings OF contempt (which deny they can
dol for the people of the city of Cork.
Thank God the old discussions dying away. No
longer Corkonian Fardown is heard from the lips
of Irishmcn; brotherly love and q nope for the
glorious future of free Ireland have taken theix
place, and in the vanguard of that hopedfor day.
when Irishmen shall meet their hated foe. the men
OF Cork will stand. hope this movement. started
in the interests OF American politicians, will receive
its quietus ut once Your article Of to-day must
open the eyes of all right thinking the alb
surdity OF prolongng the discussion and deserves
for it's timely appearance and logical reasoning their
gratitude. ain. thankfully yours. UI.SrER.

ACTION OF THE POTTER COMMITTEE
Failure to Produce Promised Intmi-
datiOn Testimony.
TIE BURNSIDE ARMY BILL
Varied Views on the Sugar
Tariff Question.
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1879.
THE CIPHER DISPATCHES TO BE INVESTIGATED
RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE MAJORITY, THE
MINORITY DECLINING TO voTE--PRoSusED
INTIMIDATION TESTIMONY NOT FORTHCOMING.
The cipher dispatches have turned up at last In
the Potter Committee this morning Mr.. MacMahon
presented resolution in the following words:-
Whereas alleged dispatches in cipher have been
published indicating that attempts were made after
the Presidential election OF 1876 to influence by
money or other fraudulent methods. the votes Of
electors the action Of returning officers in the
States Of Louisiana. Florida South Carolina and Ore
gon therefore
directed to apply to the House for authority to in
vestgate the same and any other matter connected
with the election in said States and for the of
conducting the inquiry.
After some conversation q vote was taken, all the
members OF the committee being present except Gem
eral Butler and all the democrats voted for the resolu
ton. while all the republicans declined to vote.
They put their refusal the ground that they have
steadasty refused to vote upon or to support any
vesgaton whatever relating to the election of 1876
Mr. Potter will present the request Of the commit
tee at the earliest opportunity. and doubt it will
be granted. It is understood that the for
investigating the cipher dispatches has been urged
Mr. Tilden, who, has been already stated in these
dispatches is reported be DESTROYS at the proper
Zine 10 testty III person concerning MS relations TO
them.
Mr. Potter presented to his committee also to-day
the report Of the subcommittee, consisting of him
self aud General Cox, which recently visited New
Orleans. 1t appears from this report that they went
down to hear testimony concerning intimidation and
violence in 1876 at the desire of Secretary Sherman
counsel; that when they got to New Orleans they
were told by republicans that it would take
. great deal of time to get the witnesses
to the city. Thereupon Mr. Potter offered that the
subcommittee would visit the parishes and hear the
witnesses at their homes Whereupon the republi-
can agents finally backed down and declined to pro-
duce any witnesses at all. the double plea First
that recent violence had greatly ntimidated them
that they would not testify; and secondly that they
would oil testify anyhow before the Teller Commit
tee. Thus all the republican promises to prove
wholesale intimidation and violence in 1876 at last
ends in smoke.
E. The committee are troubled with man named st.
Martin. who offers to testify to wrong doing by
members Of . former subcommittee in New Orleans.
but who is so little trusted that member of the
committee is willing to have him called his wit
ness and he will probably be heard Independently.

CUNNINGHAM AGAIN ANSWERED.
To THE EDITOR or THE HERALp:-

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
Notwithstanding that d. p. Conyngham has not re-
futed my statements Of the causes which probably
led the people of Cork to decline giving official
cepton to General Grant, and that he that
Grant has not shown any bigotry to the Irish or
Catholics must ask space for = short reply. Mr..
Conyngham feels aggrieved at what he calls my at.
tack on his professional and military character"
do not know to what profession he is attached and
don't believe. even by his own showing that he had
any military character in the field. The appointment
of General Meagher's to West Point was given by
Congressman w. z. Roberts. when President Grant
had been asked and refused; the committee were
also offered, right before the President appoint
ment by Thomas Kinsella. of Brooklyn. Mr.. Conyng-
hams supercilious opinion of the effect Of the Des
Moines speech will be taken for what it is worth.
do not think it probable that Catholics Irish
men win look to him or the other gentlemen who
propose Indignation meetings as the true opponents
OF their feelings in this matter.
General Grants visit to meet the pilgrims was the
merest matter OF chance-teeling. one way or the
other, had nothing to do with it. Let me supple
ment my list of reasons why believe the people OF
Cork were averse to receiving officially General
Grant by stating one which came home 70 them as
nationalist more than any of his other acts. In
1876 very large and enthusiastic meeting held
in Dublin, the object Of which to congratulate
the people of the United States the centenary of
their Republic. An address was prepared and hand
somely illuminated and two Irish members of the
House OF Parliament were deputed to present it to
the Executive of the United States 1t signed by
al ieaunS lrlsnmon IN Ireland. Inere was not
single objectionable phrase in the whole address;
yet when Messrs. Parnell and Power presented them
selves at Washington they refused an audience
by President Grant. who stated they were only in
tcgral portion of the British Empire and that the adj
dress would only be received through the ntroduc-
ton of the British Minister. In 1s4s Mitchell.
Meaghcr, OGorman and others took an address from
tho Irish people to the new French Republic. They
were Hospitality received by Lamartne. the President
OF the French Republic, their address received and
replied to. Yet the British government then made
no protest or sign 1t remained for General Grant
to make international law to suit his prejudices.

in that part Of the bill recognizing the staff do

RELATION OF THE ARMY TO THE PEOPLE.
But, above all, object to the bill because 1t APP
pears to me to lead the army further and further
away from that relation to- and influence with, the
people of the country which are indispensable to its
life well ps necessary to the satisfaction OF the
nation. In order that the army should be main
tanned in anything like satisfactory efficient
state 10 IL essential that its relations to the
people and to the government should DO made closer
aud more harmonious. Unless this can be done IL
always invites and will always provoke criticism and
unfrendly action. In my opinion the present sys-
government and distasteiul to the habits of the
people that it has been found impossible to har-
monte them In all the occupations of civil life for
instance. man depends for success upon his indus
try, capacity and good conduct; he is advanced
in position according to his deserts, while in the
army the only qualifcxion required for promotion
attains the highest rank. AS believe tho effect
of this bill will be to withdraw the army still further
from the sympathy and interest Of the people,
should be unwilling to soc II become q law.
There other provisions of the BILL some of
which regard as excellent and some as injurious;
but need not discuss them. The general features
which have touched upon appear to to be those
which most vitality and unfavorably affect the army.
