A STAGE ROMANCE,

Early in the present dramatic season, says
the Providence Or. - Press, while the Gene
We've Ward combination was playing in the
cellent address, fine personal appearance and
apparent education, applied to Messrs. Jarrett
g. Palmer for situation in any department
whereby he might go on the then proposed
tour. He said that he needed salary, was a
willing worker good mechanic, and abund-
antly able to pay his own railroad fares and
hotel bills. His object was to thoroughly learn
the stage business, and to eventually secure a
speaking part whereby he might advance in
the profession. His solicitations were SO per
sistent and his manner SO persuasive, that per-
mission was granted him to act as an assistant
in the carpentering department. He proved to
be all he had claimed, was steady and useful,
and SO skillful that when the master carpenter
was Obliged by sickness to retire, the new
conner was promoted to the vacant place. He
was a universal favorite with the company, at
tarcted the attention of Miss Ward and Mr..
Levick by valuable suggestions as to stage
effects, and even discussed Shakespeare with
them in manner which showed his thorough
acquaintance with the works of the great poet.
In st. GATHERINGS, Canada, Mr.. Craig, who
played John Grist in "Jane Shore" was taken
seriously ill, and the new conner, who went by
the name of Bob" Trimmer, volunteered to
appear in the part. No one else was available,
his offer was accepted, and to the establishment
of all he made an immense hit, was called be
fore the curtain, and the next morning the
press said that ''Mr. Craig" whose name was
retained in the bills, divided the honors with
the star" The morrow found him in his prop
err department again, and he made no refer
ences to his wondrous histrionic success. He
adroitly parried all questions as to his home
and family, and he remained Giving mys-
terry until few days ago, in Hamilton, a
letter was received by Mr.. Tooker, the manager
dated at Cambridge. Mass, and signed by the
mysterious young mans father, who, by some
means, had learned his sons whereabouts, and
wrote begging Mr.. Tooker and Miss Ward to use
their influence toward securing This return to
his home. The mystery was mystery no long
er, and the young man, yielding to the desire
| of his parents, returned to Cambridge, Mass,
where he is known as Mr.. Lawrence Otis.

The Potter Majority Rep srt.

On Saturday March LIST, Mr.. Potter
submitted his report in regard to investiga-
tlons past, which was adopted by majority
of the committee, six Democrats voting for,
and three Republicans against it. Gen. Butler
was absent. The cipher dispatches were not
referred to, as they will form the subject
matter of separate report. The minority
will present report. The report places no
reliance on the testimony OF Anderson, jerks,
Mrs. jerks, Weber, and that class OF witnesses,
and deals with the case on the general alleged
facts alone The report is divided into three
parts The first in regard to Florida, the
second in regard toY Louisiana, and the third
to the forged electoral certificate. Each OF
the three points is elaborated at great length,
and concludes with finding that full effect was
not given to the electoral votes of Florida and
louisiana, that Hayes, Sherman, and others
encouraged this result, that the second GER
tifcate of Louisiana was forged as to two OF
the names, Kellogg and Clark being priyqy
to it, and that Tilden and Hendricks received
true majority of the electoral vote and were
the real choice of the people at the Presiden.

The concluding scenes in Congress at

pressive. Durham and Southland made their
last speeches, in Congress, as both OF them
retire from public service with the close Of the
Forty fifth Congress. They did their best to
create good Impression and were cheered
heartily, no doubt out of compliment, at the
close of their speeches. They insisted upon
free and pure elections untrammeled by fed
eral authority, and intimated very broadly
that they would live and die in that faith. AT
last, precisely at four minutes before IL
Speaker Randall. read his closing essay, al
the end of which, precisely when the minute

| hammer fall and declared the Forty fifth Con
gress adj turned without day. The speech o.
Mr.. Randall, which was very complimentary

mingled, bidding each other farewell, some

The Potter Committee Minority Report

March 81, the minority OF the Potter
committee consisting of HiScock, Cox, (of
Ohio and Reed, presented their report. They
dissent from the views p esented in the report
of the majority b 9TH as to their pertinence and
conclusions but testify to the personal
courtesy and generally fair rulings of the
chairman in taking testimony. The report
alleges that the examination was a one-sided
PARTISAN affair, that it was limited to the acts
of one political party in only two of the States
louisiana and Florida) where fraudulent
practices were charged, the investigation was
unnecessary and without proyication so far
as individuals named were aimed at. The
conduct of the visiting statesmen at New
Orleans is considered and that of Sher
man, Garfield, Halle, Kelly,ra others whom
it was saught to impeach was declared con-
sistent and frank. Anderson is characterized
as a man totally unworthy of notice
The charges of fraud and corruption with
| which Mr.. Tilden, and his agents filed the air
were nothing more than unsupported asser-
tions. There is no evidence to show that the
South Carolina returning board could be
bought. Marbles statement amountsto this
"a man told him, that man told him, that
| third man told him, that canvassing board
could be bought" and this is all the evidence
he vouchsafed. The report alludes at length,
the cipher dispatches, and AYERS the impossi
| bility of their being carried on without the
knowledge of Mr.. Tilden. Precisely what the
arrangement was by which Mr.. Tilden was
kept posted, asst the doings OF his agents and
yet be left in condition to make a general
denial, the committee will probably never
know. The report denies the charge of any
alleged bargain to seat Hayes. Denies the
existence of any fraud or bribery on the part
of Republicans, and claims the full, fair and
/ honest election of Mr.. Hayes.

The Charges Against Henry Wolf not sus-
tained and He is Discharped

ta1ned and He ts Discharged.
On the 5th inst. Henry Wolf was charged
with having committed an outrage upon the
person of Mrs. Henrietta Nuske. She and hus
band exoitedly related their story and gained
much sympathy for themselves, while they in.
cited many to great indignation against Wolf
After little the lapse of twenty.four hours
&rs Nuske modified her story to the extent OF
alleging an attempt, only, against Wolf.
Yesterday the affair had judicial sitting al
the hands of Judge Flint. Mrs. Nuske re-
lterated her story Of an outrage. He had &C.
compllshed his purpose. On cross-examina
ton, she gave such an account of surrounding
circumstances that the impossibility of Wolf &
success doomed up beyond a considerable GER
tainty. Then the husband related what his
wife had told him.
Wolf stated frankly that he had been out on
Western avenue on that date. That he may
have been in the woman's house, but declared
most emphatically he had not offended her in
speech or action. Rabbi Weschler, Messrs.
Nathan Lyons, l.. Isaacs, and A. Greve were in
troduced as witnesses to VOLTS character. Each
one endorsed him as reputable and worthy
young man. The court weighed the evidence
and declared no case had been made against
Wolf. In justice to the defendant, it is stated
he was arraigned upon the charge of making
an indecent assault. The original charge Of
outrage was abandoned and the other substi-
tuted
