DECIDED AGAINST POTTER
LECTION TAKEN BYSTOCE EXCHANGE
 GOVERNING COMMITTEE.

Edward l.. Norton Has Been Requested to
 Dissolve the Partnership With the Firm
 of Henry Allen X Co. With Asa Potter
 Within Thirty Days.
 New York, Jan. 30.--The Times says: The governing committee of the stock exchange yesterday Wednesday, re- quested Edward l.. Norton of the firm of Henry Allen & Co.,, to dissolve part nership with Asa P. Potter within thir- ty days. MT. Potter has been a mem- Der of the firm for only a few months. Complaint regarding him was sent to the governing committee in November, to the effect that the exchange could not be benefited and might be dam aged by partnership relation in one Of the most active firms operating there with the man who had been president of the Maverick bank of Boston when it crashed.
 The complaints were referred to the law committed, which advised an in- quiry. There had also been complaint against the L. c. Briggs, who entered the firm with MT. Potter, having been previously associated with him. The inquiry was begun month ago.
 Mr Norton, the board member of Henry Allen & Co.,, did his best to con- vince the committee that the connec- tion with MT. Potter was unobjection- able, because the indictments found in Boston, in lthe Maverick bank case, had not held against MT. Potter. He urged that MT. Potter was entitled to fair business chance and should not be dis outraged The committee announced it's decision after having deliberated. In regard to MT. Brigs, since the chief offense charged against him was that he failed in Boston and that he had come here as an associate of MT. Pot ter, in the Potter-Briggs Co.,, dealers in commercial paper, the governing committee decided on another reference to the law committee for further inves- tigation.
 The firm of Henry Allen & Co. was carried under in the Cordage crash, but in a few months paid its obligations. The Potter-B Briggs connections were evi- dently madge to enlarge its business, since MT. Potter is believed to have a strong financial following.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: Uomrade
Otis, in his interesting article on Antietam,
says of the close of the conflict: Our posi-
ton was held during the night that preg-
nant night under cover of which Lee was
permitted to escape across the Potomac. f" etc.
That was the night of Sept. II, 1862. Now,
find in report of Col. COrse, commanding a
rebel brigade, that his command spent the
night at the battlefield in front of Sharps-
burg and remained there all next day, taking
mp the march about 8 p. m. the night of tho
18th for ShepheTdstOwn, crossing the canal
aud Potomac River into Virginia Gen.
Longstreet's official report also says: "Be-
fore it was entirely dark the hundred thou
sand men that had been threatening our de-
struction for IL hours had melted away into
few stragglers" He also claims TO have
remained at the battlefield the next day,
ready to renew the fight, and did not retreat
until the night of the 18th. Now, I would
like to know which is correct Did the
rebels retreat the night of the 18th after the
battle, or did they remain on the ground all
next day and retreat the night of the 15th9

Too Scientific.


scientific research it is quite fashionable TO
hail with JOY every new remedy that is en-
dorsed by eminent men of science.
But few years ago it was DIR. Koch's
lymph for consumption. Soon invalids from
all parts of the world congregated at Berlin.
Germany, TO be treated by that eminent
scientist, whose name has been immortalized
by discoveries of consumption and cholera
bacilli; yet, the name of his remedy has
already been forgotten. A common poultice,
made by an old negro coachman, in case
of white swelling not long since, proved
more beneficial TO the patient in a single
day than a whole months treatment by a
renowned physician.
1t is not always the extremely scientific
and high-priced treatment that brings relief.
This has been demonstrated in hundreds of
cases where medical skill has apparently
failed, and the Dr. Peters Blood Vitalizer
has performed cure. Mr.. J. l.. Wilcox, of
Bagnell, Mo-, writes as follows: 81 have
been wonderfully helped by the Blood Vital
izer. physician, who is also a specialist,
has advised me to continue the use of the
remedy, as he declares it has saved my life.
Please send me a further supply"
