A Cipher Investigation at Last.

The Potter COMMITTEE. have al last voted
IN take up the scandal Of the cipher dis
patches. We dn not see how they could
hs.r avoided this unpleasant task. aud
probably the Democratic members Of the
Committee now regret that they did not ac
cep' the duty three months ago IL il
rather late 10 vindicaie the party from the
charge OF cohniying at the crimes OF un-
worthy leaders and agents, aud II Is even
rather late to yindicate individuals who.
during this long and trying period. have
not shown sny extravagapt esgerness to
viBdicale themselves. Far be It from US,
however, TO beltile the lsbors OF the Com
mi,tre before they are begun. We are
quite ready TO believe that they intend to
make the investigation honest and thor
ough. Even If they wished To keep back
the truth they must be well aware that sn
unfair management. Of the inquiry Is about
the only thing that could make the
business worse for the party than IL Is al
ready.
So tar as this may be political inquest,
We d" not suppose that the Republicans
have any concern with IL. The case Is one
OF p"telv domestic interest TO the Democ-
rscy, aud il Is all one TO us whether they
fix the responsibility OF the "fetch con-
tracts" upon this or that individual. or
magnanimously distribute it among them
selves. Out Of regard for historic truth,
however, Ali good citizens, whatever their
lohtics. may be impelled to offer criticisms
and suggestions. II Is not likely that sny
investigation will change the outlines oil
the story. as we know it already. but there
are several blanks 10 be filed up here and
there In the correspondence, dark things
TO be explained and conjectures to be veri-
ned, for example the adventures Of Mr..
Smith Weed aud Colonel Pslion in their
final negufiation have yet TO he told; the
causes Of the failure OF the $50 600 trans
action SIRE not rs clear as they might be ;
the Incidents in the final scene in Tslia-
hassee need calculation; and We have new
er been able to satisfy ourselves whether
Mr.. Smith Weed. 10 his Southern expedi-
ton. always went BY his own name.
The Committee. In their quest for full
power, will, OF course. not forget that while
the resolution under which they were ap-
pointed requires them only to investigate
the electoral canvass in Louisiana and Flor
ida, the most damaging Of the cipher tele
grams relate to South Carolina. Any ill.,
vestigation which leaves these dispatches
out Of the account will be an absurdity.
and failure from the the start.

have seen from the nine this week show both

up into the thousands OF dollar. We have eN-
