WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Ma
tional Democratic Executive Com
mittee will meet tonight to consider
important business in regard to the
future course of the party.
In the Potter Committee tosday,
Gibson was recalled and stated that
when at New Orleans Swayse en-
deayored to entrap him by offering
to go back on his testimony for a
certain sum, but the witness refused
to have anything to do with him.
Carter, of New Orleans, testified
that st. Martins statement about
witnesses before the committee hav-
ing been influenced by money
was false. lie did not believe that
Weber was paid for his testimony.
Gibson said he visited New
Orleans as a correspondent for the
New York Sun, and as counsel TO
the Democratic members of the
committee, did not believe $3.50
was paid to Dula; the prices for
witnesses we're much lower in the
South. To his knowledge, none
were paid for their evidence.
The following nominations were
made to-day: James Pollock, to be
Naval officer at Philadelphia; A.
Louden Snowden, to be Superin-
tendent of the Philadelphia mint.
The Senate Finance Committee
took final action upon House bill
amendatory of the Internal Reve-
nue. laws, and authorized the chair
man to report it to the Senate.
The committee, five gainst four, de-
cided to recommend concurrence in
the House provision reducing the
tax on manufactured tobaccoo to
sixteen cents per pound. The COM
mittee will fix the tax On snuff at
twenty-four cents, and strike
out all the provisions relative
to the tax on cigars, cheroots and
thus preparing to leave
them subject to taxation at the ex>
listing rate. The House provision

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Feb. THE Pot
ter InvestigatingCommittee resumed
its session this morning. Manton
Marble was examined. His an
swers were given with marked pre-
cision, and his manner was thor
oughly self-possessed. He said he
went to Florida to look after the
electoral vote; could not say that
he went there under instructions of
the Democratic Committee. He did
not 60 at the request of Gov. TIlden
or any one. He called on the Gov
ernor the evening he left, and simply
bade him goodbye. They had no
conversation. He talked with Ram
dolph, Blair and Fox on the subject
of his journey. II think I got a
cipher from Mr.. Pelton, at the
Everett House, and used it subse-
quently. l sent no kilograms and
received none from Gov. Tilden.
He addressed his kilograms to Pel>
ton. My object in going to Florida
was to take care of the electoral
votes. Let me here suggest that
the cipher dispatches, as published
in the Tribune, so far as | am con-
cerned, are simply rubbish
"My dispatch to Senator Gordon
says: "Tell Gordon, therefore, it is
the TRUTH" and being made at the
time proves this. | have already
published statements of what [ did
and did not do. One of my state
ments was published January, a
year ago the other, "Rub~a-Dub,"
was published in the Tribune for
months. What l did not do was to
buy the Florida votes, and they
were for sale. I would like to sub
NIT these letters, if the Committee
has 10 objection"
Mr.. Reed-"I have a decided
objection"
Chairman" Then they are ruled
out.
Inc witness testlhed at some
length. He admitted the authen-
ITCHY of some dispatches. The
witness again declared that he had
no conversation with Tilden about
buying out the Electoral Board,
either before he went to Florida or
after he returned, and never spoke
of the propositions or negotiations
to him (Tilden.) He had no knowl-
edge of any attempt on the part of
the Democracy to buy out the Re
turning Board, and though while in
Florida he talked with Chandler, he
knew nothing of a proposition that
the Republicans should sell out. At
this point the following note was
received
No. Is, GRAMERCY PARK,

To the Hon. Eppa Hunton, Chair
man Of the Congressional Com
naittee, Fifth AVepue Hotel:

ACCORDING to the sworn statement
of Mr.. Z. w. Mackey before the Tel
Ter Committee, South Carolina Demo.
Gratis have peculiar ide@s about fair
play. One instance Of this fair play'
is found in the fact that in part of
Charleston county, thickly settled by
Republicans, four voting places were
abolished, so that in one direction it
was thirty~two miles to the polls, and
in another, twenty-tWo. Another in
stance is in their "ki.s-joke" tickets,
which were made of tissue paper.
During the day they would stuff the
ballot-box with more of these than
there were names on the
voting list. By law, the excess
must be Withdrawn by a blindfolded
persoi. o, course il wss easy enough
to avoid Fulling out these "jokes +"
and consequently nothing but Repub-
licsn tickets were brought out. Ol,
Reform thy name is Democracy.

,Cith the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. It's
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a

ship Wheat Now.

Why ship wheat 10 the Fell? For
many imperative reasons. if you desire
to make wheat growing profitable
business. Wheat kept over until the
Spring season, will dcpreciate in value
At least ten per cent. Ifwhcat brother
grain should advance ten per cent in
price BY tn, Spring season. it has also
deprecia cd at least ten per cent, by
actual waste. Tn, farmer can haul
grain to market in tie Fall, when the
roads are in cool condition aud when
his other farm work is not demanding
his immediate attention, for a much
less price than he could in tho Spring
when the weather is unfavorable, the
roads broken aud in some places al
most impossible, and when his Spring
planting aud seeding is calling for every
moment Of his time at home. Another
REASON in favor Of Fall shipment from
this part Of the territory is that the out
let to the sea, by rail and navigation a,
this season is better provided with ia.
cilities for transportation. In the
Spring Of the year the transporting
vessels have generally departed with
their cargoes Of grain to foreign ports be-
fore our shipments from this part Of the
country have reached Portland and con
sequsntly our grain has to remain fo'
40 ,ther year or until the vessels return
the next Spring. Tho waste Of The
grain occasioned by this delay from rat1
and mice &C., is q discount that The
farmer cannot consistently afford t
take. We say then ship your grain il
the Fall If you can, when it command
! fair price and you can sell for cash
even though for lower price than il
the Spring.
