CHICAGO. Jan, 22-In the Reno in-
quiry to-day Lieut.. Vsrnum, who was re
called, testified he thought Reno took the
best possible position after he left the
woods with his command. but there were
hardly enough men to hold it. Reno, how
ever, created a diversion in the Indian viii
lage. 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 opposigg Reno.
He saw Clusters Grey Horse company
moving along the bluffs down the river, at
about the time the skermish line was
formed; it was three quarters of mile
away. An hour later Col. Benteen Joined
Reno over the hill, and about the same
time witness heard firing away down the
stream, but it was crash ard didn't sound
like a continuous engagement. At that
time be didn't think it caUe from Custer,
but thought it might be the Indians in the
village. When be saw the Gray Horse caval
ry be thought Custer was making z
detour to strike the other end of the Indian
village.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Potter
committee held long private session this
morning. The democrats brought up the
question whether St, Martin should be
called as witness by the republicans, or
be discharged by the committee. Snela-
barger, in behalf of Secretary Sherman,
thereupon presented letter in which, after
criticising the course of the committee IN
not recalling St. Martin on their own mo-
ton, he asked that St. Martin be recalled
for further cross examination oa his testi-
,nOny given in New Orleans. and on an af-
idavit which he recently filed with the
committee. The democrats manifested a
disposition to acquiese in the request, al
though they are still contending. The re-
pubIicaus sought to take ST.. Martin as
their own witness. The subject was, how
ever, laid over until tomorrow.
| A member asked, where are those dis
patches that were published in the New
York Tribune Hiscock thereupon ex-
pressed his belief that Gen. Butler had
them. The general then made state
ment that certain dispatches had come in-
to his possession early last spring. He
found them upon his private table, but he
has no knowledge how they came there.
These dispatches, it was said. were part Of
those that were printed 10 the Tribune. 1t
SO, he had nothing to do with their pub
lication. They had been furnished 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 aud put iu place
of safety. He was willing to place them
at the service of the committee; in doing
so, he contended, they should be printed
and made public or placed within the
power of any member of the committee t
make public, but at the same time he pro
tested against the whole system OF investi
eating the dispatches. and insisted that j
would be wiser for both parties not to in
qure into them. However, upon prope
receipts being given, the committee cou!'
have the dispatches Il you'd be advsabi
to print the dispatches at once in pamphle
f0rn. That question also went over.
