InE IOi1EIs COM
Washington, Jan. 22.-The Potter COM
mittee held long private session this morn
ing. The democrats brought up the ques-
tion whether St. Martin should be called az
witness by republicans or discharged by the
committee. Mr. Shellabarger, in behalf Of
Secretary Sherman, therefore presented a let
ter in which after cri!icising the course of
the committee in not recalling St. Martin on
their own motion, he asked that St. Martin
be called for further cross-examination on
the testimony given in New Orleans, and on
the affidavit which he recently filed with the
committee. The democrats manifested a
disposition TO acquicsce in the request, al
though still contending that the republicans
ought to make ST. Martin their own witness
The subject was however, laid over till TO.
morrow.
A member asked: Where are those dis.
patches that were published in the New
York Tribune? Hiscock thereupon ex.
pressed The belief that Gen. Butler had
them. The general then made s.atemen,
that certain dispatches had come into lii
possession early last spring. He found them
upon his private table, but had no knowl
edge how they ca ne there. These dispatch
es, it was said, were part Of those printed il
the Tribune. If 30, he had nothing to dc
with their publication. They had been fur
nished to the Tribune before they came into
his hands. During the summer they wer,
m.sed for several weeks, and subsequent,
they we're found again, when he had then
numbered and stamped, and put in plac;
of safety. He was willing to place them a
the service Of the committee. In doing *
he contended they should be printed aut
made public, or placed within the power o
any member Of the committee TO make pub
lie. At the same time he protested sgains
the whole system Of investigating dispatch

over, upon proper receipt being given, the
committee could have the di.patches that
were in his possession.
A short discussion followed az Ia whether
it would be advisable to print the dispatches
at once in pamphlet form but that question
also went over. Adjourned till tomorrow.

Charles Rash, colored, was hung
a. Tuscambi2, Ala. last Friday for
wife murder. A correspondent Of the
CITIzES Eas on the ground and
writes the circumstances as follows !:
Something over two years ago be
had q difficulty with e colored man
with whom he was farming and
shot him accidentally (ss he says
oct did 10 serious damage Just
one week after that shooting he
shot one Of his neighbOrs dogs for
robbing him Of eggs This oc-
CURED early il The morning and
when he returned from the field a.
noon he missed IN egg from q nest
and enquired Of his wife where it
was She told him she had eaten it.
He said be had killed four-legged
dog for eating his eggs and would
kill tEO-!egged one before night
He worked about al hour after
noon and then went 70 the house
and soon after killed his wife. His
statement is that be wanted TO GO
huntIng, 70 which his wife objected
and they got TO scufiling with the
gun and il went OF acciden; ally.
The position OF the wound shows
that sne gas sitting while he was
standing, which does not agree
with his statement
At 2:48 P. i lie rope was cut
and he paid the penalty OF his Rash
act.
He hung II minutes before the
Attending physician pronounced
him dead. He made some muscu
lar struggles but seemed TO die al
most without pain. At 3:1I his
body IS cut down and carried OF
10 the grave. He obstinateiy re

mInist of his own color and Eas
baptized into the Catholic church
