Potter Report on the Ciphers.

The report of the majority of the Potter
committee upon the cipher dispatches says /:
Generally the Western Union Telegraph
Company seem to have exercised care in re-
spect of the preservation and privacy of their
dispatches, and theft snd publication of Ger
tain Gifpatches did not seem to be their fault.
At the same time they could not but suspect
that Orton, the President of the Company
(since deceased), who was an earnest and
active Republican leader, forwarded the dis
patches, in custody of the company,
to the Republican committee of the
Senate rather than to the Democratic
committee of the House. He had also shown
his bias by allo ing certain Of the dispatches
to be withdrawn On examination of the Indi-
ana dispatches, in which Mr.. q. Chandler
was asked by Mr.. Tyner to appoint two In
dian agents One could see how very natu-
rally telegraph officials should have failed to
recognize these most improbable cipher dis
patches to have any concealed meaning, but
regarded them rather as corrupts dispatches;
hat they could recall them 50 well was a
credit to the efficiency of the company, and
suggests that nothing in protection of the dis
patches by the telegraph would he gained by
Transferring that business to the Government.
Ii was not for the committee, however, to
biggest whether any legislation was required
, prevent private kilograms from being pur-
lined or exposed, or for their production In
roper cases. Considering the watchful, com
itent and intelligent partisan custody of the
tSpatches for fourteen r:OntLs it was to be
kpected that nothing would come to light
Dt wanted by the parties in charge, and it
lould have been too much to expect that any
le-sages rejecting seriously upon the con-
uct Of tie Republican party would be found
alDng these bundles. The translations of ci-
Ier dispatches disclose negotiations on the
trt of certain near friends Of Mr.. Tildeu,
aer the election, to secure the electoral vote
the States of South Carolina and Florida
lese persons seemed to have apprehended
lat the electoral vote of those States, which
icy believed belonged to Tilden, would be
dc!arcd for Hayes, and to have regarded
t-rnselves as justified in endeavoring to de-
fit this corrupt and fraudulent action by
J s,nittng to payment of moneys which,
t:y we're informed, the Canvassing Boards
,tnaIded by way of blackmail. The COM
Iiiice did not in any way justify their action,
all considered it gross wrong. But these
lthiations were not authorized by the Ma
h i Democratic Committee, or any person
el;ticd to speak for them. All persons who
hi been connected with the negotiations. so
"a as the committee had secured their testi-
nay, declared that in no way were they au-
ttrized by MIR. Samuel Tilden, whose partic-
ut friends thought they were, and Mr.. TIL
, d had himself voluntarily appeared to cor
r;orate the statement on oath. No charge
fin any source whatevet had at any time at

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.

symptoms OF a Diseased Liver.
Dam in the right side, under the
l edge Of the ribs. increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side !; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the. arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-.
tite and sickness; the bowels In gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation In the back part There is
generally considerable loss Of mem-
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry, cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sens:
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him. yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, butcases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Senator Chandler on Jeff Davis.

The following is a 0er6atin report of the
speech of Senator Chandler, delivered about
five o'clock Monday morning of last week, on
the Arrears of Pensions hill {:
Mr.. PREsIDENT-Twenty two years ago to-
morrow, in the old hall of the Senate, now
occupied by the Supreme Court of the United
States, |, in company with Jefferson Davis,
stood up and swore before Almighty God that
would support the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States. Jefferson Davis came from the
Cabinet of franklin Pierce into the Senate Of
the United States, and took the oath with me
to be faithful to this Government. During
four years sal in this body with Jefferson
Davis and saw preparations going on, from
day to day, for the overthrow of the Govern
ment. With treason in his heart and perjury
upon his lips he took an oath to sustain the
Government that he meant to overthrow.
Sir, there was method in that madness. He,
in cooperation with other men from his sec
tion, and in the Cabinet Of Buchanan, made
careful preparation for the event that was to
follow Your armies were scattered all over
this broad land where they could not be used
in an emergency. Your fleets were scattered
wherever the winds blew and water was
found to float them, where they conld not be
used to put down rebellion. Your treasury
was depleted until your bonds, bearing six
per cent. interest, principal and interest pay
able in coin, were sold for eighty eight cents
on the dollar for current expenses, and no
buyers Preparations were carefully made.
Your arms were sold under an apparently in
nocsnt clause in an army bill, providing that
the Secretary of War might, at his discretion,
sell such arms as he deemed it for the interest
of the Government to SELL
Sir, eighteen years ago last month l sat In
the halls and listened to Jefferson Davis de-

To Tell the Age of Fowls.

II q hens spur is hard and the scales
OF the legs are rough she is old whether
you see her head or not; but he head
will corroborate your observation. II
the underbill Is 80 stiff that you cannot
bend 1t down, and the comb thick and
rough, leave her, no matter how fat
and plump, for some one less particu-
lar. A young hen has only the rudi.
ments OF spurs; the scales on the legs
are smooth, glossy and fresh colored,
whatever the color may be, the claws
tender and short, the nails sharp, the
underbill soft, and the comb thin and
smooth.
An old turkey has rough scales on
the legs, callOSities ON the s0les of the
feet, snd long strong claws; a young
one the reverse of all these marks.
When the feathers are on, the old tir-
key cock has q long tuft or beard; a
young one buta sprOuting one, and
when they are of, the smooth scales
on the legs decide the point besides
the difference in size of the wattles of
the neck and in the elastic shoot upon
the neck.
An old goose when alive is known
by the rough legs, the strength of the
wings, particularly at the pinions, the
thickness and strength of the bill and
the finsness of the feathers; and, when
plucked by the legs, the tenderness of
the skin under the wings, by the pin
ions and the bill, and the coarseness of
the skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
means, but there is the difference that
a duckling's bill is much longer in
proportion to the breadth of the head
than the old ducks,

AGuE AND FEVER.

DR.. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUEs AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

The Democrats Of the Massachusetts legis-

railroads to furnish each member with free

forbidding that sort OF thing, and then intro
duce anti-railroad bills, if the passes don't

about in silence, scarcely daring to
breathe.
And under these kisses the white
lips grew red again; the pale cheeks

The bride felt the knights breath on

cannot harm the true heart, and my

Then up rose Sir Olaf, strong and fair
as ever, and took his bride by the

break of the war the late George D..

for the Journal OF that city favoring
the secession OF Keniuck. AT the last
moment II WIS taken from the forms,
after the departure of Mr.. Prentice for
his home, by his associate editor upon
his individual responsibility. The
next day, the story runs, there was q
lively time about the Office, Mr.. Prem
tics being very angry. a consultation
was had, matters were amieably set
tied, and In short time the Journal
became a leading Union newspaper, but

WILLIAM HowETT, the gentle qua
ker story-teller, who has 80 long de-
lighted children and grown people
with his tales of rural life In England
and on the continent, died on Monday
of LAST week. He was In born in Dew
onshire in 1895, and was the Oldest of
British authors. He and his wife, Ma
ry Hewitt, usually wrote their books
together, and delightful books they
are. They did excellent work as trans
lators, being the first to introduce the
English public to modern Scandtnaui-
an literature. Mary Hewitt was the
translator of Fredrika Bremen. Mr..
Howittt's books for boys are amongst
the very best of their class, as all can
testify who have read Jack OF the
MILL His Country Year Book and
Book OF the Seasons have probably
done more than auy other works Of the
sort to teach children to enjoy country
life and to satisfy and appreciate the
attractive features of the minute coun-
try landscape. William Howett's life
was a singuIsrly blameless one and
tireless in industry and performance.

Boschees German Syrup, to let its wonderful
qualities be known to their friends in curing
consumption, severe coughs, Group, asthmn.
pneumonia, and In TACT all throat and lung dis
eases. No person can use IL without immedi-
ate relief. Three doses viii relieve any case,
and we consider it the duty of all druggists to
at least to try one BOTTLE as 49, 900 dozen bottlea
were sold last year, and no one case where II
failed was reported. Such medicine as the
