Mr, Davis-As the gentleman from Ohio knows
what was done In caucus, perhaps he will tell us
where any member Of the caucus was bound by
It's action.
Mr.. BlaCkOurn-I will answer that question
myself, and will say that that question was passed
upon and was declared In caucus that no one
was bound In any way by Its action. The caucus
was simply for the purpOBe of consultation,

THE POTTER ENQUIRY,
Rnurh on thA Villain Wells.

Washington, Feb 20.-The Potter Com.
mittee ro.day examined United States
Marshal Wharton, of Louisiana.
Mr.. Wharton said he was Republican
and had been supporter of the Packard
government. During the time the Re
turning Board Of 1875 was sitting he was
in New Orleans, he never attended any
of their sessions. There was great deal
of scandal aAoat at the time about public
men, and he had heard among other
things that Wells was trying to make
money out of his position. ut is notmy
charge" said Wharton, in explanation
"the charge. was that the Democrats had
been down there with money and they
we're making an offer to buy, and it was
believed that if matters could be ar
ranged Governor Wells was ready to
treat" ...... ...,.. Il. ....
Mr., Wharton continued: Mr.. Maddox
told me he was satisfied Governor Wells
intended to sell out the result OF the cleo
ton to, the Democrats that he enjoyed a
good deal of Governor Wells's confidence
and that Governor Wells was inclined to
make him thenegotistor. He thought he
had better encourage the confidence, he
said, so that he would be in an attitude
just about the time it would culminate in
an actual trade to post US (the Republi-
cans) 80 that we could break it up and
prevent any Oonsummation of it. Wit
ness did not know of any financial ar
rsngement being made with Governor
Wells. 'A aH4i
@. Here is letter dated New Orleans,
December Sd, 1875. and published in the
Chicago Inter. Ocean. Did YOU ever write
that2 A. do not know. If did it was
in the belief that Maddox would be able
to carry the thing to point aud give US
information about it.
Q This letter says II think you had
better advise them to abandon all hopes
of getting anything from us, and advise
him to. make or authorize you to make, q
distinct proposition TO the other side.Y
A. Yes, that is, 4 wanted him to bring

ter might drift into other hands, and that
the trade might be made and we not
know It. wanted Maddox to go on 80
that he night know the amount to be
paid, that 30 much money was put here
and so much there, and 30 on, and 30 be
enabled to break mp the trade
O. Subsequent TO yonr talk with Mad
dox about Governor Wells, did you go to
him with Packard2 A. Yes.
O. What did he say theLP A. He said
he believed that II the State administra'
ton would give Governor Wells what
was regarded as its biggest offer that
Wells would be satisfied,
@ Maddox claimed to represent Wells
did he2 A. Not exactly representing
Wells, but probably as acting as q kind
of 60 between and keeping us well post
ed.
@ Go between? You mean Packard
and Wells? A. Well, | don't know all
through we regarded Maddox as acting
from the purest motives and as q strong
Republican, and as being as much inter.
ested in preventing anything ofthis kind
as anybody.
@. Did he say Wells would be satisfied
with 500 0OO2 A. 1 don't remember. Very
possible he did.
A letter was here read from Mr. Jewett
formerly Secretary of the Republican
Campaign Committee of Louisiana, to
Senator Kellogg, in which he says that
Louisiana politics must be run after his
fashion, and that, unless Richardson gets
position, and unless Pitkin is made
marshal and his other friends taken care
of in manner entirely satisfactory to
him, he (Kellogg) must take the conse
quenCes.
The committee adjourned until to NOR
row morning, when Mr. Wharton's cross
examination will be commenced by Gen
eral Butler.

the former, they certainly avoid Texas and like sem

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Since the

some doubts on questions of loyalty.
The Secretaries Of all the departments

this respect, and have made it rule to
appoint persons who belong to their own

rally It may be said: First, that the pro-
ductions of the Pennsylvania Oil fields
have Increased about 200 per cent; sec

the producing regions has increased
over 900 per cent; third that the number
Of producing wells has increased abou,
100 per cent fourth that the daily average
production per well has increased OF pei

Bathing Mishaps at Newport

From correspondence Boston Herald.
A day or two ago buxom country lass
met with an accident which she VIII
never forget. The waves got under her
dress and lifted it and plaslered 1t over
shoulders and head. She screamed at
the top of her voice, and it was thought
by many. who did not see the cause OF
the noise at the instant, that some one
WAS drowning. A number of ladies
rushed to her assistance, and while some
| surrounded her in order to hide her
| from view Others with nc little difficulty
replaced her garments. Her fan, how
| ever, was over, but she was happy in
the thought that no one knew her, she
she being one of party of excursionisis
who arrived her just for the day from
Providence. Recently policeman was
called upon to perform a delicate task
for lady. She was the only lady n the
surf, and as her frail form emerged from
the water, and as she advanced to the
shore, kicking the recediDg waves will
her delicate feet at every step, her dres
behind was discovered to be rent il
twain. 1t was quite early in the day
aud not dozen persons were on tn
beach. The policeman was equal to tn
emergency. and placing his flannel Goa
I across her shoulders he escorted her t
t her bathing house.

THE Republicans continues to show its
detestation of the reduction of the taxes
by the Democratic City Council. Moth
ing has seemed to annoy 1t so much.
Now, If the case had been reversed and
the Republicans had reduced the taxes
against the votes of the Democratic
members, the Republican would have
been delighted. 1t reminds us Of the
fox in the fable. Low taxes made lower
by Democratic legislation are "sour
grapes" to Republican politicians. They
will all get better and feel more content
ed after the city election, when they set
tie down under the conviction tha
lower taxes is just what the people wan
and will vote for.
