New York, Feb. 1.-THE Potter In

sion this morning. His answers were
given with marked precision, and his
manner was thoroughly self possessed. -

Electoral Vote. Could not say he went

bade him goodbye.
We had no conversat on. Talked
with Randolph, Blair and Fox on the
subject of his journey. l think got a
cipher from Mr.. Pelton at the Everett
House, and used it subsequently. Sent
no te egi ans and received none fr'
Governor Tilden. Addressed his tele-
grams to Pelton. My Object in going to
Florida was to take care OF the Electoral
vote. Let me here suggest that the cl-

simply rubbish. Nv despa ches to Sena-

going, explained the business that took
bim there, intimated that he might need
money, and cautioned him not to say
anything about it to Mr.. Tilden. The
rext day he telegrapbed to Mr.. Cooper
from Baltimore for the money, but Mr..
Cooper replied with refusal, and soon
after Mr. Pelton received Dispatch
from some one representing Mr.. Tilden
bidding him return Immediately TO New
York He found Mr.. Tilden indignant
at his proceedings.
Mr.. Pelton swore that none OF the ci-
pher dispatches RELAXING to these money
negotiations were shown TO Mr.. M len
at the time, nor was he aware OF their
existence. He kept them from Mr.. Til
denis knowledge because he knew that
Mr.. Tilden would at once put a stop IL

Proposed Legislation on an Ism

WILMINGTON, Feb. o.-Thc bill intro

to amend the mineral land laws, po>-
sesses great interest for miners and
owners of min in Colorado, including
some Of the largest, which are CONT oiled
by Eastern capital, Section 2322 OF the
Revised Statutes provides that the ioca-
tor Of mineral vein may follow the
vein wherever it leads, even though in
following il downward II should pass

Diary lines into and across the claim of
another. When this section was adopt
ed all known veins, OF lodes, extended
downward in an almost vertical line, or
at least with a very slight dip from a
vertical. Hence but little injury could
be done by the law. The late discover
les in Colorado in the neighhorhood of
Leadville, which are creating so much
excitement, are unlike any previously
discovered lodes in position and stratiti
cation. Instead of extending downward
in au almost vertical line, { tlese new
lodes are almost horizontal, apd extend
for miles but slight distance under he

that they have the right 10 follow their
lodes even for miles. Mr.. Patterson IA q

passage to-day's bill, which provides in
regard to all mineral lodes located in
Colorado since the LIST of January, 1876,

THE COMMUNICATION signed "Citi-
zen," in another column, treats upon a
very important subject, and we call the
attention of our readers to its statements.
1t emanates from a member of the bar,
who is well informed upon the subject OF
which he treats. The question discussed
of having more frequent terms of courts
in this county is not new but this wri-
ter places it in so plain and plausible a
way that there can scarcely be doubt
as to the propriety and economy OF the
change he proposes.

THE CIPHER DIsPATCHEs.-The New

of the evidence before the sub-commit-
tee in that city, on Thursday and has
boilei down the facts elected into an
editorial, which we find most convenient
for our readers, as follows MIR. William
T. Peltun, who described himself as
about 40 years of age, lawyer, and
a nephew of Mr.. Samuel j. Iilden was
the only witness Examined by the Cipher
Committee yesterday. He testified that
in the Presidential canvass of 1876 he
had no official connection with the Ma
tiOna, Democratic Committee, but had
charge of many matters with the Com
mi,tee's acquescence. When the Demo
cratic visiting statesmen went South af-
t-r the election he carried on telegraphic
correspondence with some of them
partly IN cipher Some of these dis
patches were addressed to Mr.. Henry
Havemeyer, who sent them unopened
30 the witness or the Comm ttee- gener-
ally to the witness, who answered them.
Dispatches were not delivered at Gra-
mercy Park.
The witness identified some of the c-
pher dispatches that have been publish
ed, had no recollection of others, and as
to others, could only say that he had re-
ceived dispatches of the same purport
He did not know that the published
translations were correct; many of them
he was sure were incorrect.
In December, 1876, he received a ci
pher t'l-gra n from Mr.. Manton Marble
then in Florida, informing him that tn,
electoral votes of that State could be se
cured for Mr.. Tilden by the payment o
500, 900. He declined the proposition
aud sad the sum was too high, or word
% that effect. He did not communicat
to anS body the fact of the propositi D
having been made, and acted entirely o
his own responsibility. Subsequently h
was notified that the sum had been r,
duced to $4,000. He sent dispatch a,
