Special Dispated to The Trizune. ‘Wasminatox, D, C., May 20.—(f there had been any doubt {a regard to the real meantog of the Potter resolution the composition of the Committes of ftsclf shows the movement means revolution. Potter, Chairmnan, ft wiil be remembered, was the author of =& letter written previous to the sasembling of Cougress, and immediately after the Presidentlal elcction, in which he argued in favor of the rizht of tho Houso to docide Inde- pendently of the Senate whother the President bad been elected, and to proceed immediately to the election of a Presldent. The scheme throughout was rovolutfouary in the extreme, and at the time was held to reflect TUR VIEWS OF TILDEN NIMBELY. Four other members of the Committec—name- 1y, Morrison, McMahon, 8tenger, aud Blackburn —were prominent as filibusters throughout the attempt to defeat the completion of the Eleetoral count. Of the remaining Democratic member, Hunton was s member of tho Electoral Commisslon, and Cobb was added to the Committee at the express demands of the Indiana Democrats, and as the repre- ascatative of Hendricks {n the movement agalnst Prestdent Hayes, It s also worthy of note that ‘Butler was placed upon the Committes at the earnest desire of those who have been promi- nent In this movement from the start. 1t is expected that the Committeo WILL MEET TO-MORROW, in case Potter returns, and the desire of thoss who have been so long proparing the Florida case fs, that & sub-committee be sent immedistely to that Btate wupon the plea that it is wecessary to take the ante-mortem testimony of McLin, he belng reported by those gentlemen to be upon his death-bed, The fact of his condition is relfed upon by the Democrats to neutralize, to = great extent, the fact that he bas hitherto testificd and certified to an oxactly opposite state of facts from thoss which he now claims [n his contession to bave ex- fsted. In caso this SBub-Committeo 18 scnt to Florida, It s the prescnt purpose to begin the sesslon of the rest of the Cowmlites in this city, and to commence the {uvestigation of Louistana affairs forthwith. TIE PARCE OF THE INVESTIOATION 1a further apparont when it Is remembered that five of tho Democratic members, all who were in the lust Congress, voted for the Proctore Knott resolution declarlog that Tilaen was elected, v The Committee will not give Tilden much personal encouragement, however it may be dlsposed towards Hayes, Potter, tho Chair- man, has always been at heart an opponent of Tilden, and was once defeated by the latter in his attgmpt to secure an fmportant State oftice, He 19 repreacated, however, to have nssoclated himsel? with the present movement in the hope of SECURING TILDEN'S PAVOR for the Gubernatorlal nomination thfs fall, Morrison, of Illinols, Is an outspoken oppo- nent both of Tilden and David Dudloy TField. Morrison was Chairman of the last Loul- slana Investigating Committee, and keeuly felt the humiliation put upon him when Dudley Fleld came bLere and took charge of that Investigation, practically displacing Morrison. Hunton was not well disposed towards Tilden, Blackburn has been a very pronounced op- vonent, and as one of the fllibusters donounced Tilden for cowardice. Btenger, of Ponnsylva. nis, lizs not been rogarded as friendlyto Tilden, Coz, of Ohlo, is put upon the Commitice as the supposed personal friend of the President. ‘The Republicans will by no means stand pass- ively by and allow the Democrats to plot revo- lution in thelr Investignting Comwlttees. Geon, Noyes appeared o a telegram this morning Im- mediately after the Potter Committes was ane nounced, and asked TUAT HB DR SUMMONED 85 & witness (o regard to the Florids election, and this evenlog Becretary Blerman has sent to the Commitice, through his attorney, Judge Shellabarges, a ringlog letter in- which he takes the oggressive in tho Louislans matter, The Becretary has been restive for ] long time under ths Democratic libels agalust him, and when the Potter resolution wasintroduced, a week ago, ba ‘was in favor of allowing the Democrats to pass 1t immediately, fo order that be mignt have an ‘opportunity to meot some of the unjust attacks that bad been made upon him, He aporoves the courss of the Republicans in securing suficlent delay to call the atteution of the country to the unfairuessof the proposed investigation, but every day he becawe wore impatient for the resolution to pass. Immediately upon the smendment of the Committee, he placed in Judge Shellabarger's bands the letter alrcady referred to, with the request that be HAND IT TO THR COMMITTER to-night. The letter is, of course, respectful fn toae, bus Is direct sud unmisiakable in its Jan- guage, Sccretary Sherman says that that part of the preamble of the Potter resolution which refers to Loulstana contalos three propositions : Firat, that thera was 8 cousplracy amoug the Republkan voters of East ad West Feliclanaj sccond, that the election in those parishes was full and free, and that the Bupervisors of Hegliratlon, Anderson and Webber, delibe CHICAGO, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1878, erately made falss reports In regard to it; thied, that the Returning Board, mccepting the false statements of Anderson and Webber, fllegally threw out the votes of those parishes. Every onc of these propositions Becretary Bherman PRONQUNCES PALYE, and he declares Lis ability to prove their falsity. Indeed, be goes so far as to say privately that the men who drew the preamblo to the resolu- tion must have known that they were saylng what was untruc when they wrote it. The fact that there were furders and outrages 1o both of the Felicians parishes, Mr, Bherman rays has never been serlously dented, ‘The evi- dence of them, and that they wers so numer. ous and of such a chinracter as to maka a free and fair election fmpossible, (s OVERWHELMING AND UNANSWERABLR, This having been established, all of the propo- eitlons fn the Demucratle presmble fall to the ground. | Beeretary Bherman esys. In regard to the let- ‘ter reported to have been written Ly him to Auderson, the Bupervisor of Heglstration of Kast Feliclana Parish, that he believes it to bo o deliberata forgery, aud that those who have put in cireulation the reports about ft know it to be such. Becrotary Bherman says he Lias nothing to fear from the proposed investigation, but that ho doca not intend that the Democrats shall con- tloue to circutate thelr libellous reports about him without thelr befug MET AND ANSWERED, e denounces the whole proceedings of the Democrats as a_revotutionary conspiracy to de- prive President Hayes of his office. The Dem- ocrats, bythe investigation they haveset on foot, propose to get togethier s mass of ex-parte and unfalr testimony, by the puablication of which they hope to creste such a puolle sentiment as will enable them to carry the next House of Representatives. On {t they intend to baso revolutlopary proceedings to turn out Mr. Ilaycs. That, the Becretary says, fa war. The President is s mild-mannered man, but the Democrats will find thst he Is not to be deposed by any revolutionary proceedings, ex- cept by superfor physical forces. Becretary Bherman, as woll as other Republicans, de- nounce 8peaker Randall for packing the Come mittee in order to maks it as unfalr as possible.

A very extensivo source of fraud was discovered Iu the sale at retail of tobacco tn glass jars, not In tho original packages. Empty packages of spirits with stamps uncanceled were found cyerywhere {n a vast number of saloons. Kegs of beer were discovered on tap with the stamps temoved, and fu some instances lying on top of the keg, In others on the top of the water. cooler, upinjured and ready to be usca agaln. Iu some fnstances the stamps were fresh, and had not been attached st all, but wera siinply placed upon the top of the keg or adjucent to it for use should danger make it necessary.

One agent dlscovered eight packages of spirita without stamps, which the owner, & respectable dealer, claling to lave made twenty-ive years ago.
