The Potter Committee.

The evidence given to this commits
tee by scores of witnesses, from both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties, has proven nothing. The prin-
ciplc Oh which the Committe was ap-
pointed is about the only laudable
feature of the whole affair. So far as
thelgood derived thereirom is con-
cerned the result has proven TO be all
fog and smoke and 10 game. We
have spent an appropriation OF about
$4,000 on this investigation. The
people pay this most assuredly. Mr..
Potter and his associates have been
receiving their regular salaries in adj
dition, SO that the cost to the country
of this Investigation has been about
$4,000. What good has it done?-
Thrown an additional suspicion on
John Sherman TINT he purchased the
Louisiana Returning Board votes,
bui proves nothing The committee
and the country have learned that
there is ground for the belief that
there is something rotten in Den
mark" but where and what, who
knows? We have from the very first
opposed the work OF this committee,
believing that the Republicans were
entirely too shrewd TO be caught in
rascality and that the Demo rats were
too stingy and weak minded to effect
any such arrangement as is laid al
their door. There are good reasons
to believe that the Southern Return
ing Boards were bought with price
but then modern economy scientific
ally teaches that in politics all is fair,
as in love and war, and should this
committee have been able to prove
the Republicans guilty il would have
amounted TO nothing in our favor
the purchaser would have been act
ing OH his own responsibility or
something of that kind and the great
National party would haze suffered
not a whit more than it did when
Grant turned The convicted whiskey
thieves out of the peniteniiaries. Mr..
Tilden testifies rather too "muchly
and loudly" of his innocence, accord
ing to our notion II is said that a
guilty man puts himself to trouble to
deny a charge which has never been
made against him. While we see no
evidence to convict Mr.. Tilden, never
ihe-less, candor compels us to ac-
knowledge that tie Republican party
has come out unpublished. W are
glad to know that no bargain or sale
has been proven, glad TO know that
the evidence was not sufficiently
clear to prove anything, for it would
be sad commentary on our liberty
loving Republic TO have such a stain
indellibly written OIL our political
history. But there is one good which
we have derived from this investiga-
ton; there are several facts proven
that will be to our advantage. First,
we have had the exquisite pleasure OF
an intimate acquaintance with Mrs
Jenks-thata American woman
And as the adage goes, "a woman
what is woman" Second, that
women can be utilized in a politica
drama or tragedy, and third, that i

ship. ta


ply is the general theme of all true
men, while his record of brave deeds
and charitable acts is being discussed
throughout the length and breadth Of
our American Republic, while his
praises ring around the circle of all
christian lands, it behooves us further
to note the patriotic benevolence Of
his sister,
MRS. JUDGE MORRIS.
At the commencement of The late
war she was dwelling with her hap
ply family in louisiana. enjoying all
the comforts of magnitccntly fur
nished home, having wealth and sta
ton, health and affluence, nothing
was lacking TO make her Queen of
the Sunny South.
But possessing a heart of natural
sympathy, head Of wonderful wis
dom and a hand OF Hcrculancan
power she at once turned her aiten-
ton toward alleviating the burdens
of her Southern Coniederacy. There
were Mt home hundreds of women 10
administer cheer to the sacred
cause" but, looking further into the
depths of philosophy, she conceived
the idea and Immediately decided to
use her powers in alleviating the suf-
fcrings of that unfortunate Rebel
soldiery confined in the dungeons of
Northern prisons, as captives of war.
She therefore provided herself libcr-
ally with means and made her home
in Chicago during the first of the
year 1862.
Her house was male the home OF
those Southerners who obtained
passes to visit their friends confined
within the various prisons of Chi
cago and the islands of the Lakes.
Her time was spent in the interests
of the Confederacy, tho to the world
the fact was unknown. 1t was this
philanthropic woman, who gave mid
to many citizens not only of Chris
tian county, but of the whole South,
in forwarding provisions and cloth
ing to half starved and naked friends
within prison. 1t was Mrs. Judge
Morris, who suffered the hardships
of frequent arrests by Union spies
and detectives. But untlaunled by
threats, imprisonments and hardships
her course was secretly, though per-
sistently, pursued. 1t was she who
entertained, in Chicago, several Of
our personal friends of this city, and
enabled them to obtain personal III
terview with q sickcned and starry.
ing Southern soldier. 1t was she
who afterward furnished REGULAR,

For the encouragement of that
