GEN. Buffers Report ON the Potter
Investigation.
WASHINGTON, March 5.
General Buffers individual report upon
the Potter investigation, makes q docu-
ment OF some 200 pages. He maintains
that the appointing of ] udges of the Su-
preme Court upon the Commission to de-
eide the late Presidential election, has done
moral harm to the cause of justice, by i'm
pairing the reverence the people nave al
ways had for the integrity Of the decisions
of that court, and the experiment ought
not to be tried again; that the counting in
of Hayes was obtained by a series of gross
and unjustifiable irregularities and frauds,
which cannot be too strongly condemned
and reprobated; that if any title to the
Governorship of Louisiana resulted from
the late election in that State to any one,
it was to Governor Packard, who was le-
gally elected; that the act of Hayes in ap-
pointing and sending the MacVeigh Com
mission to Louisiana, was IN act wholly
unauthorized by the Constitution, and not
within the scope Of the Executive, and
especially reprehensible, as its purpose and
motive was to carry out the corrupt politi-
cal arrangement and agreement on his
part, made by his friends, with his knowl.
edge and consent. the fruits OF which he is
still enjoying without right, and against
law.

Tonight, a new play, by Victoriene Sar.

first time an American play was ever rep
resented of New York. The scene is laid

in working out the plot upon such dis
tinctiyely American subjects, has certainly
carried his Goals to New Castle with E reck
less daring that cannot but be admired
whether or not the result should prove ar
artistical or popular success.
