WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-After short
and unim portant session to-day the Potter
Committee adiurued till Tuesday next.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Potter sub
committee appointed to take testimony in
New York, did not leave the city tonight
as was arranged, difficulty having arisen
with regard to the chairman. Mcmahon,
who was appointed to that post, declares
his duties at Washington are such as to
prevent him leaving here at present. So
it was decided to request General Hun
toon to take bis place. The General is
away at Warrenton, Va, and his reply has
no; yet been received. 1t is thought, how
ever, that as lie was a member of the cleo
toral commission he may object to take
the position of chairman, and it will then
fall upon Stenger, who acted as chairman
OF the subcommittee that was sent to New
Orleans. In this case Blackburn will take
the place of Mcmahon, and the committee
will leave Washington Monday evening or
Tuesday morning.

SPECIAL n T-CES,
CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE

CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE !!
Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of remedy. The amount Of testimony in
favor OF DR.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as q cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Fulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which Dr.Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional RENE
dies are schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. BY the timely use of these medicines, &C
cording to directions, Dr. Schenck certifes tina
most any case OF Consumption may be cured.
Dr.. schenck is professionally at his principa
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must b,
addressed.

THE BLoDGETT INVESTIGATION,
Present Making by Court
Officers.

CHICAGO. Feb. 3,--The Blodgett inves :
tigation this morning proceeded in the alb
sence of Mr. Lapham, both counsel and
that gentleman advising that course. The
defense called Judge Drummond who
testified that Judge Blodgett's instructions
to grand jurors were like his own. Blodgett
often lacked patience and amiabllity to-
wards jurors and counsel, but was sorely
tried by his amount of work He pos
sessed great executive ability; didn't
know that he ''took the bits in his mouth" !"
oftener than other judges of decided char
acter Didn't know that he was partial to
older lawyers; had heard complaints of
his temper from young aud old members
of the bar; didn't know of any lawyers
having the ear Of the court" preference
is often given to older members of the
bar without injury to the younger. The
defense called Register Hibbard. who
said. in 1875 he applied to Judge
Bsodgett to resolve his doubts as to
the Interpretation of the bankruptcy act,
his difficulty being how to make the an
nual reports. Blodgett gave advice which
ne followed minutely in reporting fees and
oiVidends. On cross examination he ex
planned the Observation-Disclosures regarding
ioN0 SoiHT III Eases. taxing years tc
settle. He believed most other
registers made reports as he did
His cash banks were then submitted fo,
scrutiny, and he explained them to the
committee, but said he had made Judge
Blodgett a present of watch and chain
in token of appreciation for favors don,
before he was appointed Register. and
few Christmas presents to him and hi
family.

THE PLAGUE.
spread!of thisaTerrible. Disease in aussaa

LONDON, England. February 81
thus gwen: A Cossaok returning from
the war to Witlianka brought bis lady
love q shawl, which she wore two days,
and then sickened with all symptoms of
the plague, and died. the following four
days other members OF her family died.
The disease spread rapidly, the local
authorities not paying any attention to it
till half of the inhabitants died, and the
remainder were unable to bury the victims
Then when the epidemic had assumed
serious dimensions, energetic means
were taken for preventing its spread
ing and strict quarantlnes were established;
| firstly, IN towns and villages, by the shut,
| ting of streets where the plague reigns from
the rest of the places; and secondly. by sur
rounding the village with troops so that ne
body is allowed to pass in or out.
The panic in Russia is almost incredible.
Every class and station in lie have petit
toned for entire cessation of all inter
course, even postal communication between
the rest of Russia and the Volga. Letters
sent from Astrachan and Zoritzin are not
received by persons to whom they ara ad-
dressed. Some people even refuse to take
paper money, fearing the germ OF infection
| might be communicated through ii. 1t is
almost impossible to describe the terror
which has taken possession of the people.
| The Russian sanitary commission has pro-
posed to shut off the Volga line from all
intercourse with Western Russia, aud per
NIT communication only under quarantine.
| Russian railway cars are not admitted to
| German territory. The export of grain
from Poland will suffer severely from this
restriction. The Roumanian government
are discussing the expediency of prohibit
ing the transit of Russian provisions sent
to victual the Balkan army.

HOUSE.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-The morning
hour having expired, the bill was laid over
till Monday.
The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole on the army appropriation bill
Mr.. Hewitt, of New York, having charge
OF the bill explained its provisions. 1t ap-
propriated $26,747 300 as against an esti
mate of $29, ,084, 500, and an appropriation
last year of S25,77S, ,167. The reduction
10 army appropriations the last three years
amounted TO s., 100000. They had been
reduced to the minimum, aud if any saving
was to be effected hereafter it must be by
a process of reorganization and reconstruc-
ton. Reorganization could be made SO as
not to impair the efficiency, with an annual
saving of $8.400,000 Ia conclusion, Mr.
| Hewitt stated his intention Of offering an
amendment repeating that section of the
law of 1866 which allows the army to pre-
serve peace at the polls, and he hoped both
sides of the House would agree in expurg-
ing it from the statute books, and not allow
it to remain a blot on American freedom.
Mr.. Banning spoke in favor of the army
reorganization bill. He would offer that
bill as an amendment to the appropriation
bill. The army to-day was ridiculous

infautry did not contain more than cor
porals guard The bill was approved BY
