The President denles that any suct let- 1ers were writlen or authority given, and It is certain that the attempt to’ manufacture & case fo Florida wilt fail us disastrously as the at- tempt to Involve Becretary Sherman by means of forged fetters. An inspection of the criginal rasalution which tho cuitivated Mr, Potter presented in the House shows conclusively that he wmust have played secoud-fiddle to some very literate ine dividusl. 1t is almost entirely devold of pune lul(lt:ll,‘ and the spelling throughout Is dis- raceful. = 5 The ides of one of the Republican members of the Potter Commnittee Is that tho design Is to Eumcd With groat r-vldu{ aml try aud place efure the country, on the threshiold of tho in. uiry, such pratuiided facte as shall startle it, ‘e bellef of prominent Republicans is that several charges have becn concovted sud testi- mony manufactured or procured by which ft will e clatmed that they are established, while in fact there will bo found to be'no truth in the matteratier they have been explored aud tested by the Republlcans.

Wasminuton, It C., May 21,—There was another day of debste fo the House onthe Army bill. On the part of the Democracy thers was manifested tne eame bitter opposition to the srmy. The Democratie membura from Pennsylvanta even, in which Btate thearmy saved milliona of property, are smong the fore- mout to denounca the use of the United States troups as 4 national potice, Hendrick B, Wright,'who Is proud to be called a demagogue, could uot keep his hand off the army. Jle de- clared that the only renson why there fs a desirs to majutain ft I8 that it may be used to suporess strikes witbin States. This he thought con- tiary to Democratic polfey. . THR PINST SBRT BPEECH was by Singleton, of Missfssipol, who took ad- vautage of his privilege todeliver o speech upot the Texus Pacific subsidy, without alluding to the'army. Bparks, of INinols, made o spwech in support of the grinding, pleayuue, cheesc:par- Ing methuds of the Appropriations Committee, which he characterized us Jiberal, just, und gen- erous, He doubted whether sny may would say tne contrary. Jle was somewhat chugrined that Schileicher, of Texas (Democrat), should {tnmeqiately arise sud xay that e would b the man todeny It whcuever he should obtains cuance to speak. Bparks did not approve of the useof the ariny to put duwn riots In States. He thought the militia should be the only protects ing power. Tuu usc of the army, he main- tained, was contrary to the spleit of American fustitutione. POILLIFS, OF EANSAS, made an esrnest speech, as all frontier Con- gressmen do, against the reduction of the account of the absence of vne of its members. The organization of the Committco may thero- fore Lo postponed for several days, and in the measame 1o one {s authorized to spesk for tho Committee 88 to its plavs. Tho Democrats say that thoso Ropublicans who complaip of Ran- dall’s selectiou of Republicaus to scrve on the Committee treat tho Speaker unfalrly, - They asscrt that ot Potter's suggestion Randall uvited Eugeno, IHale to nominate four Republicans, and that hls sugzestions were followed, oxcept that Gon. Butler's namo was subatitutol for that of Mr. Dunuell, of Miancgota, ‘The Democrats also say that the Republican portion of tho Committeo come arm; Baunlng, of Obio, the father of the most (m- portant feature of the bill, was vompelled to speak to emoty benches oo account of the 8hields debute tis the Scnate. He denfed the neccstity of o large standing army, and favored 8 thorough .reorganizatton. He'entered a dis- claimer tu the cbarge thut he is inimical to the army, avd showed s restiveness ot having been publicly charzed with pandering to the {dess of the Communists.

Morrison denies that the Cominittee has sny revolutiovary pur. vose, but says If any frauds have boen commit- ted they should be reveated. He does uot think, however, that anything can be discovercd In Loulsluna beyond that which was found last year by the Committes of which he was Chair man, The printed report of that Committec, le thinks, contalps all tho cssential poluts which the new Committee may flnd. DUTLLL'S APPOINTAENT, Referring to the complaints made by Repub- licans at the appaintment of Gen. Butler on the Committes, Morslson sald that the Republicuns were inlstalkon; that Butler might prove to bo hie most troublesome Investigator for the Dewm- .ucrats upon the Committee. Butler, Morrison suld, wus mot for tho Adminlstration, but be was not for tho Democracy, Ho'la for Packard, oud It will undoubtedly be his purpose to sliow that Puckard was _clecied, for, the beneflt of the Kepublicaus in Loulsians, e will not bo of any ndvavesge to the Democrats, Morrison is one of the Democrats who DROPIED TILDEN AT AN EARLY PERIOD in the Electoral contest. When a comimnittes, consisting of Henry Watterson and J. Sterling Mortou, went to New York to learn from Tilden what his deslres were us to toe Electorat Come nfssion, they camo back reporting that Tilden said that e koow bhe was clected, but thore wust be no troubleabout it: and oue of them declured that Tilden was more of acandidate for o cemetery than for the Prestdency, as ho wus nothing but an salmated old corpse. From the timu that report was made Morrison aban- duned ‘Filden, aud has never had soything to do with bim slvee.
