Report of the Potter Committee.

Report OIL the EOtt0F C00DD11ttOo.
On the I'd inst, Mr.. Potter, chairman of
the investigating committee, submitted his
report to the committee, which they
adopted, by vote OF six Democrats to
three Republicans, Butler being absent.
The report is divided int three parts, the
6rst referring to Florida, the second to
Louisiana and the third to the forged cleo.
toral certificates. The following are the
conclusions reached: That the Tilden
electors were fairly chosen in Florida, and
that the canvassing board acted unlawfully
in counting Tilden out; that in Louisiana
the returning board assumed a power that
never before existed and that they used the
power TO fraudulently count the state for
the Republicans; that fraudulent registry
based on false census made it appear that
the Republican voters exceeded the white
voters in the state more than $4,000, and
that supervisors of election parishes were
directed to return votes according to this
| census; notwithstanding this organized
fraud, says the report, when the election
! was over, the Democrats had a majority
and the Republicans in order to over.
come it usurped power not given them.
The report tells how the vice president
having refused the first Louisiana electoral
certificates, the Republicans secretly man
ufactured another, ante-dating it, and con
cealed it until it's production before con
gress, and how the electoral commission
was served with printed copies of tn,
forged document. The report concludeI
that full effect was given to the electora
vote of Florida and Louisiana, and tina
Noyes, Sherman, and others encouraged
this result; that the second certificate from
Louisiana was forged as to two of the names
Kellogg and Clark, being privy to it, ant
that Tilden and Hendricks having received
a true majority of the electoral votes wer'
the real choice of the people at the las
presidential election.

episcopate into the hands of the pope. The
letter of resignation has been placed in the
hands of his holiness for over month. No
reasons have yet been made known for this
action on the part OF the bishop, but it is
surmised that the frequent troubles which
he has experienced in the administration of
the diocese and the recent encyclical sreat-
ing courts of causes and limiting the power
of bishops of the Roman Catholic Church in

wirh it.
