WASHINGTON.

How Butler Got the Secrets.
Washington, Jan. 22.-At the meet
ing of the, Potter Investigating COM
mittee to-day, a member asked: "Where
are those dispatches that were pub
lished in the New York Tribumep"
Mr.. Hiscock thereupon expressed the
belief that Gen. Butler had them.
The general then made the statement
that certain dispatches had come into
his possession early last spring. He
found them upon his private table but
had no knowledge of how they came
there. These dispatches, it was said,
were part of those printed in the Irib-
une. If SO, he had nothing to do with
their publication. They had been fur
nished to the Tribune before they came
into his hands. During the summer
they were missed for several weeks and
subsequently they were found again,
when he had them numbered and
stamped and put in place of safety.
He was willing to place them at the
service of the committee. In doing so,
he contended that they should be print
ed and made public, or placed within
the power of any member of the COM
mittee to make public. At the same
time he protested against the whole
system of investigating the dispatches,
and insisted that it would be wiser for
both parties not to inquire into them.
However, upon proper receipts being
given, the committee could have the
dispatches that were in his possession.
A discussion followed as to whether II
would be advisable to print the dis
patches at once in pamphlet form, but
that question also went over. Ad,
journed till tomorrow.
Potter says subcommittee will be
sent to New York to take testimony In
the cipher dispatches investigation.

A Remarkable Democratic Row.

Remarkable Democratic Row.
Washington, Jan. 22.-The southern
democratic members of the house were
much excited to-day by Mr.. Bragg's
denunciation of their advocacy of
southern claims. His taunting intima-
tion that they adhered to the demo-
cratic party mainly as means of open
ing the doors of the treasury, and
his sneering remark that If they in
sisted that he and other northern DEM
ocrats should be more liberal, they had
better go over to the republicans, stir
red up feelings of anger and bitter re-
sentiment, which the reported proceed
ings but family indicate. And Bragg's
subsequent intimation that the DEM
ocrats would be stronger in the
north if freed from suspicion Of alliance
with southern claim advocates, was so
exasperating to many of his auditors
that not few of them tonight predict
serious discussions and divisions within
the party ranks as likely to grow out
of it.
A very noticeable feature of to-day's
debate was the double assertion of Mr..
Ellis, of Louisiana, that he was will
ing to debar southern claims by
amendment, and that
the confederates were as true to the
democratic party as Gen. Bragg, for
they had gone to war in obedience to
democratic teachings, as they under
stood them.

GOOD INDIANS

Twenty three Cheyennes Killed and Mine
. Wounded Seventeen More Un-
. accounted For.
Fort Robinson, Jan. 22.-The Chey-
enne Indian campaign has closed, for a
time at least. On Monday Col. Evans,
with companies B and d, Third cav<
airy, found the renegades in a strong
position in the cliffs, four miles north
of the stage road, and partially sue
ceeded in cutting off their progress.
They effected their usual escape and
moved toward Red Cloud agency.
Capt. Vessels, whose scouts conveyed
this news to him, started at once on
their trail with his four companies of
cavalry, and at noon to-day he came up
to them some forty-five miles from this
post. Then the work of capturing
them, either dead or alive, began in
dead earnest. In fact but thirty-two,
with nine of that number badly wound
ed, are alive of the forty-nine that
were in the field, leaving seventeen
killed. Capt. Vessels was slightly
wounded. The first sergeant of COM
pany E and an Indian scout were also
wounded, to an unknown extent.
Three of Capt. Vessels men, SER
geant farrier, and one private, were
killed.
This news arrived verbally by courier
at midnight and more couriers with de-
tails of the battle are expected soon.
Ambulances have just started-mid-
night-to bring in the wounded and
dead.
Later news from the field states that
only nine Cheyennes, all of them
wounded, were captured. The balance
Of the party, twenty-three in number,
were killed. Seventeen are still unac-
counted for. 1t is supposed some died
from wounds and others escaped.

ILLINOIS.


Chicago, Jan. 22.-In the Reno in
inquiry Lieut.. Varnum testified that
he thought Maj. Reno took the best
possible position, after he left
the woods with his command, but there
were hardly enough men to hold it.
Reno, however, created diversion in
the Indian village. The Indians must
have attacked Custer about the time
Reno left the woods, but the witness
thought the main fighting force of the
village was opposing Reno. He saw
Custer's gray horse company moving
along the bluffs down the river at about
the time the skirmish line was formed.
1t was three-quarters of a mile away.
An hour later Col. Benteen joined
Reno over the hill, and at about the
same time the witness heard firing
away down the stream, but it was
crash; did not sound like continuous
engagement; at that time he did
not think it came from Custer, but
thought it might be the Indians in the
village. When he saw the gray horse
cavalry he thought Custer was making
a detour to strike the other end of the
Indian village. Witness said there was
some pretty warm work about Reno's
quarters, and for time it seemed as
though the whole Indian village was
about to advance on him. Reno did not
exhibit any remarkable conduct either
for bravery or GOODNESS. There was
considerable speculation among the
Reno command regarding the where
abouIs of Custer, and whether he was
in a predicament too. Witness at that
time had no idea that Custer had been
slaughtered, but believed the Indians
had driven him off and were coming
back on Reno. Had Reno gone for
ward with his command to assist Gus
ter he would have been obliged to go
through the Indian village, and the
witness did not believe that could have
been done by either command. He did
not care to answer the question whether
the conduct of Reno at this battle was
such as to inspire his men with cour.
age, but finally said there was no cow
ardice in it. There was some little de.
moralization and great haste in the
method of Reno's force in getting out
of the woods.
Adjourned.

HOUSE.

A strong debate arose in regard to
the southern claims bill, in the course
of which Briggs stated if the south was
solid for the democratic party simply
for getting money out of the treasury,
it would be well for the northern de-
mocracy if the southern democrats
went over to the republican party, and
he hoped they would do so.
The bill passed appropriating $780,
600 for the transportation of coin and
bullion, and $4,000 for miscellaneous
expenses of the house.
The senate amendments to Indian ap-
preparation bill were non-concurred in.
Mr.. Stephens introduced bill de-
scribing the duties of the secretary of
the treasury. Referred. One of its
provisions is that when any of the
national banks shall fail to redeem its
notes, or shall desire to withdraw them,
the secretary of the treasury shall sell
to the highest bidder the United States
bonds deposited to secure the same for
coin or treasury notes thus received,
for which he shall deliver in exchange
for notes of the bank of exactly the
same denomination, and pay over the
balance of those certificates to the
bank which had deposited and owned
the bonds, and these certificates shall
be receivable for public dues and be
receivablel in coin or treasury notes at
the United>States treasury.
The house therrrroceeded to the con-
sideration of the resolutions in honor
of the memory of the late Beverly B.
Douglass, representative from Virginia.
Eulogies were pronounced by Messrs.

YESTERDAY was field day on the
democratic side of the house. Gen.
Bragg stirred up the southern members
as he was won't to do fifteen or sixteen
years ago. Although a democrat, the
general hesitates not to denounce south
ern democrats whose sole ambition is to
feed at the public crib by virtue of be-
longing to the democratic party, which
now holds the national purse strings.

SENATOR CARPENTER.-Th sue
cess Of Matthew H. Carpenter in the
contest for the United States senator
ship from Wisconsin, after such a Bit
ter and prolonged struggle, stamps him
anew as a man of wonderful grit and
ability. Although there were two can
didates leading him at the start of the
balloting, the race terminated with him
in>the lead.
Mr.. Carpenter is a Vermonter, and
is fifty-five years of age. He graduated
at West Point and studied law under
Rufus Choate. Removed to Missouri
in '48, and was elected to represent
that state in the United States senate
in go. His term expired in '75, and
he was succeeded by Mr.. Howe, who
now gives way to Mr.. Carpenter. For
the past four years Mr.. C. has been
practicing largely before the United
States supreme court. He was one Of
Tilden's counsel before the electoral
commission, which fact retarded his
progress in the contest just closed. Car
penter is one of the most stalwart
among stalwartrepublican and though
he is not overburdened with ability he is
most daring person, and has hosts Of
