NEw ORLEANS, January lat to-day's
session Of the Potter Committee, Mr.. John
Ray, counsel for Secretary Sherman, filed
communication setting forth that he had
no intention Of offering further evidence
on the subject Of Intimidation IN the elec.
tions OF 1876. ID IL '+'
Ex.Gow Michael Hahn was examined
and corroborated the statement Of ex-sec.
retary Of State Deslonde, to the effect that
blank commissions Of appointment for
Supervisors Of Registration and, Clerks Ind
been furnished to George L. Smith for use
in the Fourth Congressional district.
Hahn at the time was State Registrar oi
Voters. Hahn testified that while Super.
intendent OF the Mint he appointed Thos.
ID. jerks to position. The only recon.
mendation jerks hadrwas q verbal one,
and witness declined to tell the name OF
gentleman making the. Recommendation.
Chairman Potter then ANNOUNCED that
inasmuch rs the several witnesses wanted
by the committee were In Washington the
committee would adjourn to meet in that
city next Tuesday.
In the meantime Mr.. John Ray, repre-.
senting Mr.. Sherman and another gentle.
man to, be elected by the Chairman would
remain in New Orleans and take what
ever testimony that might be offered in
rebuttal OF the evidence already taken by
the committee. "i'

John Ray in taking testimony after the
departure OF the committee. VI
Mr.. Potter remarked, in conversation,
that the object OF this visit OF the commit.
tee TO New Orleans was to give Secretary
Sherman an opportunity Of producing any
further evidence in support OF his charges
Of intimidation in the elections Of 1870,
and inasmuch as Mr.. Ray, counsel for
Sherman, had communicated to the com!
mlttee that he had no further evidence TO

Increased Receipts OF Nails.
Board Of Trade Report. H.rF#
The business in iron does not exhibit
material change, save that the old year
went out with an improved feeling among
producers and dealers. The aggregate sales
Of pig iron from first hands were 5,0lo
tons, compared with l2O,l04 tons in the
year ls76.77. The movement Of manuiac.
tured iron exhibits an increase, and the
business, as far as quantity is concerned,
doubtless has been well maintained, II not
really enlarged. The movement OF nails
was the largest in the history OF the city,
having been 43l ,2l5 kegs, compared with
3SS, ,025 in the previous year. The bust.
ness, however, In manufactured iron was
conducted, throughout the year, under
circumstances well nigh as disadvantage.
GUS as in lS76-77. There was, apparently,
an increased consumption, but there was
superabundance OF iron, a depressed mar
ket and steadily declining prices until to-
ward the close. But, in both pig and iron
which has been more generally distribu.

The Proposed Constitutional COnyentiOu
In Neutrality-suspicious. In the Way ol
RepudlatoFs. .......... =.
A Baltimore correspondent OF the Rich
mond Dspatch, in considering the propo
sition Of the Virginia readjusters to call Q
State constitutional convention, in order
to get md otthe funding act, calls atten,
ton to the recent decision OF the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the case Of
joint Keath against E. A. Clarke, col
lector, ETC., in error, from the Supreme
Court OF Tennessee, which this cores.
pondent says seems TO involve the issue
between the readjusters and the non.read,
justers. ua. uw, u
AS heretofore stated briefly, this decis.
ion OF the Supreme Court held that bills
OF the State Bank OF Tennessee, issued al.
ter secession, must be received by the State
for taxes, notwithstanding the provision
OF the new constitution to the contrary
prohibiting it. The decision ia to the effect
that the twelfth section OF the charter oi
the bank (enacted years before the war;
which provides that the issues OF the bank
shall be so received, constitutes contract
on the part OF the State which the new
constitution, sought to impair, but which
must be sustained underline clause OF the
federal constitution guaranteeing protec
ton in such cases. aA % -
The court refused to recognize the theo.
ry advanced in the argument that there
were two States Of Tennessce-the ont
loyal and the other rebel-holding thai
such doctrine is contrary TO the principle
Of self.government-contr to the doc
trine otinternational law and the decisions
Of the Supreme Court, The obligation Of
the State created by the contract OF The
charter continues, says the court, as there
has been nothing in'the relations sustain,
ed between it and the general government
10 affect it. mi
The Dipatch's correspondent adds;
Here is an act OF the Legislature proyid
Ing that certain bills shall be receivable fol
taxes, and an attempt to evade that proyi
sion by the iact that the issue in contro.
yersy was made by the State Bank when
the State was in rebellion. A constitu.
tional convention declared that these note.
should not he received; but the opinion
above cited declares otherwise. What
then would it avail to submit the questions
now agitating Virginia to constitutional
conYention2 ,t... I'd. ft-s. .I..
The Virginia. Legislature which passed
the funding act was loyal; that OF Tennes.
see was rebel (so.called); yet the State wa
held 70 its contract. The argument tha
tho present holders were not those witt
whom the contract was made might be ap
piled to the money owned by the Stat
Bank OF Tennessee after 1t left first hand
with eQaul plausibility. The non-registereC
bonds pass as money-i.e., by delivery.

ton in regard TO the business prospects
that are now opening up before the coun-

in its review OF the year that is gone, that
the total exports Of the country for the
past nine months show gain OF $T3,-

OF the previous year, and our i'm

$l0S,OG7, ,S45 in exports, and the balance OF
trade for the whole year of 1878 is csti.

whereas is 1879 it was nearly $900, ,0O0, 900
against us. At the present time there are
only about 5000, 900, 900 OF our Government
securities held abroad The large profit
that has been secured in the expectation
OF cattle has led TO the Inauguration oi

it is stimulating the agricultural class to in.

opportunities, joined to the financial and
manufacturing troubles in Great Britain
