AND ‘THE MATERIAL OF WIICH IT WAS BUILT. ‘WasHiNGTON, D.:C., June 1.—The President, . after reading the account of utterances attrib- uted to bim in an interview at Gettysburg, was reminded that he .had hurried: conversations with persons who, called to pay their rospects, “on the subject of the Potter investigation, which formed the basis of the reported inter- view. The following artfcle in that connection, published here, is * A SUBSTANTIALLY TRUE, 2s has Dbeen ascertsinea from trustworlhy sources: @ % #When the Presidential party arrived at Gettysburg the _evening before Decora- tion-Day, it procceded to the res- idemce of Mr. - McPherson. This was about half-past 9. A Iunch was served to the party, which lasted abont fifteen minutes. After this the President went into'the parlor, whore be was called upon by the usual crowd wanting to shake:hands with him. Among those who caited were a number of old friends and acquaintances, who stood around after they . hiad greeted him, and between his handshakes with other visitors they asked him a fumber of questions, which Lo answered. _The author of ihe interview.stood near the President, and, without takiug any, notes, made up that docu- ment from the replies which the Presi- deat gave, aided by a lively imagination. In writing up this fnterview he succecded in ¢xpressing pretty clearly the opinlons and sentiments of the President, going much farther than the President himself. On the whole, however, the President sees nothing in the in- terviéw which he cares to deay except * TUE LANGUAGE AND MODE OF CXPRESSION which ho is reported to have used. He did not, for instance, say brusquely what Congress should do, and what Congress should pot do, nor convey the impression that be was totally indifferent to the acts of that body. Iie did suy that Wade Hampton aud Gov. Nicholl lad deserved well; . that he was satisfied Cabinet; that cancus govern- ment” was to 8 certain extent an evil;.that the presedt aritation of the Presiden- tial title mizht be threatened with mutiny, and certainly said that he would in no way recogize any attempt to remove him except by the joint fmpeachment of both Houses of Congress, This was < THE ONLY CONSTITUTIONAL METHOD by which he could be removed, and any other movement in that: direction would be resisted at everv peril by him." ‘He had taken the oath to preserve tho Constitution of the United States, and would use all his authority to do so. He would deliver the Executive office In Its Integrity to. bis successor. e also safd he dia not believe thas the Scvate wouid acqui- esce il the House should impeach him. Tac President did not know that any ome prescnt wastaking notes for publication of what he said;* neither did he’ expeet in the slightest de- gree that what he “sald at Mr. McPherson’s regular interview would be made out of hisre- ‘marks by-the 2id of & ood deal of fietion.”” : SAMMY. | TNE UNSEES HAND TIXAT PROXPTED THE POTTRR COMMITTEZ—SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN LE- WILDERED—TILDEN FULLING THR WIRES THAT MOVE TUE PUPPESS. S B Special ta New York Herald. WasnmNGTON, D..C., May 30.~The Democrats arc.deeply annoyed here to-day at the lztter of Tostmaster-General Key, urzing Southern men not to support for the next Congress any man who in this Congress or otherwise, Iavors the Potter resolution of Inquiry fato the Presiden- tial title. It wasan uncxpected blow, and the more telling uvon the Democrats because they are themselves, with very few exceptions, Irri- tated at having been coerced in some way, they koow not how, fato supporticg the Potter reso- Iution against thieir. better judgment and intentions. The Soutbern Democrats in par- 0| Tiouse would be published, much less that a [ ular arc aonoyed, beeause they find them: selv2s aceused by Mr. Key of revolutionary de- signs which they have not cntertained, but for which thelr foolish support of the Potter resolu- tlon has, as they feel, given atleasta color. They are amazed, puzzled, and indignant. ‘They feel that somehow—they do not quite compre- hend how—they have beenled Into a talse po- sition, and they do-not know how to zet out of {t. It is not now probable that any one of them +will be bold enough to bring in a_resolution repealing that of Mr. Potter, But o large num- ‘ber of them are indiznant enouch to do’ft, and if such o resolution could get before the House under the rules, there is excellent reason for believing that Mr. Potter’s Committe would e dismissed by a large majority of Democratic votes. 9 ‘The Demaocrats o about in privete, in o maze and with Jmulcd ‘minds, asking each’ other, “Who did this thingd” ¢ low was it done?” “Who odvised {62 “Who consented to it beforehand ¥ and their lndignation increases s they. discover that not ove conspicuous leader of shilr party was even asked _about tne pro- prlety of thie resolution ar the fuquiry. Not one, except the Speaker, who appears to have been the only leading Democrat here in the cotinells of the man who ot it up. Mr. Potter Tong ago let it be known that he knew nothing of the matter until, at the last moment, be was informed by telegraoh that he was ordered to report it to the House. Of the Democratic Senstors—Bavard, ‘Lhurman, Randolph, Ker- nan, Lamar, Gordon, Beck, Hill, Morgan, Gar- Iand, and others—not one, s0 furasis known, wag_even allowed to Know anvtbing of what was proposed. Nt ooly wero they not asked for advice, but 'they were carefully kept_in ignorance of what was propased. in the House the samo care was ob- served to keep the secret {rom the most impart- ant men. It is vot strange, thérefore, that now, when menhave had time totalk the matter over and to discover that nobody except the Dbalf duzen who were engaged in 1t was consult- ed, they go about wondering how it was done, whose was the unseen band that so boldly manfpulated the wholo matter, and_how the whole Demacratic delegation in the House was led into supporting a measure which, s0 late as the 24th of Aypril, 25 appears by futerviews in the Merald, but twelve opposed with con- tempt. That anunsecn band wats at work in the matter begins to'be plain to many of them as they compare notes. A Southern Democrat, who fn the Herald fnterview was strongly op- posad to auy measure like that of Mr. Potter’s, was asked to-day, * Were you misreprescnted1” “No,” he said, “‘that is what 1 thought, 2nd unwjse and wrong." 3 “Bat you voted for it1" ;. “Yes, T did. Two or three leading news papers in my district suddenly came out for i and threatened that no one should be returne 1o Congress who dared to oppose ft, and Idid not like to go sgainst the sentiment of my district.” - “1WVas there really an excitement among your people about it? Did you reccive letters from your constituents urzlag you to support it “No, but these newspapers came out sll at ouce with sharp articles and _paragraphs, which were sent to mo marked, and you can sce that would paturally affect me.” “\ere any public meetings held in your district to demand 11" “'Noj only this sudden outburst in the press —and that is what I fiud everyboay tells me of his own distriet. The newspapérs all at once blew out, and threatened every man's seat who dured to opuose the investization.” . Now, woat is noticeable in this matter is, that this Is the general experience of Congressmen, particularly in the South, So far as they knew, the public mind in their districts was not ex- cited on the subject. Their people made oo de- maunds on themj; it was not discussed; no me: {ngs were held about {t; no letters from prowi: nent citizens came to Wwarn them that they wanted a certain course pursucd; but there was this sudden outburst in the newspaners at tie critieal moment_when it was necessary to the purposes of the Unscen Hand that Representa- tives should be misled aud coerced by threats irom home. Who did it? People here besin to saspect that the Unscen Hand was Tilden’s: that bis famous lfterary burean prepared or inspired these simultancous fulmivations; that as Col. Pelton is known to have come to Baltimore to arrange in a private meeting with Mr. Randall and a few others the exact time and manner in which the resolutions should be introduced and oushed, go it was from the New York headquurters that_the thuuders were launched which were intended to alarm and deceive Representatives bere aod coerce them into supporting » measure about which they bad not been consulted beforehand. of the form and intention of which they had been carefully kept iznorant, which, Virtually important s it was, was never submitted to & cancus, aud of which, in fact, they koew so little thut even their iznorance led them astray. For they argued: “The men who are pushing this must have positive proofs fn thefr hands or they would not dare to be so confldent.” + So far as your correspondent has been able to ascertain nos a Demberar who is on record in the Herald interviews of April 24 as opposed to the measure bas since chasged his mind. Of course the whole list bas not been 2gain ques- tioned, bus the result of careful and extended ceneral fnquiry. develops the fact that men think now as they thought then of the measure, aand thiuk it wrong and unswise, If, asthe gen- cral opinfon here begins to be, it was really Mr. Tilden’s unseen band which thus bagzed the House of Represcatatives, one cannot help but marvel at the industry and dexterity with which he Jed his party into what all of them now see and almost all beforchand declared to be a gross blunder, _ It is remarked here by shrewd Democrats that Speaker Raudall has put on tife Potter Cowmittce slmost every one of his rivals for the Speaker's chair. “The post of honor Is the post of danger,” some one said when this was [)olulc(l out, and the Speaker in assigniog to cading places on the Comuwmittee Potter, Mor- rison, MacMahon, Hunton, and Blackburn, ail possible candidates fof the Speaker’s chair, aud dangerous candidates?:too, did s shrewd stroke of business. It has become privately known that some of the Democratic members of the Coramittee are not pleased that tuey were put on it, and mean to be on thelr guard to have no soecial responsibjlities cast upon them ip- dividually, The assiznment of members to sub-committees will prove a matter of some ditlieulty,as several raembers privately say that they will not_go on sub-committecs. “They will no _tbe made scapegoats for a failure to get evidence, und will Insist that the whole Com- mittee shall 2o to Louislana and Florida, so that all shall be equally responsible.

Placed on the calendar. The bill to provide a fire-proof building for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the mechanical branches of the Treasury and other Departments, was posscd. 1t limits the cost to $300,000, and the east of the site to $27,530. . The concurrent resolution in regard to the final adfournment was taken up, and, by a vote of 21 yeas and 32 nays, the Senatc refused to referit to the Commitee on Appropriations. Ar, Voorhees moved to amend 0 83 to fix June 2528 the day of fmal adjournment. Rejected— yeas 17, nays 38, Afr. Anthony safd that the Senate now hsd the staff fn {te own hands, and had better keep it there. He thought the subject conld be better considered next week than now, and therefore he moved to lay it on the table till next week. Along debate followed until the expiration of the morning hour, when the unfinished business, the concurrent resolution inregard to the flshery award, was taken up, but laid on the table for the present, Eo that considerationof the adjonrnm:nt resolntion might be continued. Mr. Thurman moved to amend o a8 to adjonrn June 25. Kefectad—yeas 17, nays 35. After further discussion tho smendment of the Touse fixing June 17 as the day for the finalad- journment was concurred in—yesa 38, nays 17.

Consideration was then resumed of the com- carrent resolution approving the views of ‘the Committee on Foreign Relations in regard to the tisbery award. ‘Aftera long_ dlscssion and the rejection and withdeawal of amendments, Mr. Edmunds sub- mitted the following amendment:. **That, in the judgment of the two Houses, the provisions of ‘Arto. 18 ond 21 of the treaty between the United States and the Government of Great Britain, con- cluded on the Sth day-of May, 1871, ought to be terminated at the earliest day consiatent with the rovision of Art, 33 of said treaty. 4 Tn explanation of the amendment, Mr. Edmunds sald the oighteenth rticle zavo us the right of the inshore fisiiing, and the other gave her Majesty's subjects the right to bring fish into the United States free of duty, _ Mr. Oglesby opposed the amondment, and, dur- ing his remarks, said he had hoped Canads would 8t oma tima peacefull become part of the United States, but this award business would sow tiie secds of hats, and the resuit would be that Canada would bocome parto! the United States by force. He characterized the award gs sn outrage, and snid the British people knew to-day that it was an outrage, He argued that the Geneva award was leas than we should have received; that Eagland perpstatea dsmages upen us to the extent of jundreds of millions of dollars dunng the War. $ho prolonged the War, misied and decelved the South, and pilfered and preved upon tue Nopth.

A few years after his death, Seclalistic agita- tlon received an Impulse Irom manhood sufirage. In 1866, when the German Parli ment_was first instituted, Prince Bismarck astonished the world by deciding for extreme Liberalism and making every German o voter, The Liberal party, staggered by the unexpected large-heartedoess of a reputed Conservative, would_not be outdone by their former adverss: ry, aud, albeit not without a secret ping, s cepted the questionzble gitt. As to Prince Bls- marck’s intentions in bestowing the Nessns shirt, it mav be divined from evidence given in a subscquent action against ome of his then nssociates. In April, 1S63. six months befoce the meeting of the first German Par. Jioment, Privy-Councilor Wazener ealled upon Dr. Duchring, s member of the Berlin University, to inguire, iz Coun: ‘Bismarck’s name, whether he would ltke to draw up a memorfal uoon the best means of promoting the welfare of workinzmen nt the public expense anu through the public anthor- ities. The Government, Privy-Conncilor Wag. ener declarcd, intended to attempt soclal re- form, ana would be happy to have the learned Doctor's advice. Dispatch was necessars, Gor- ernment wishing to counterbalance the weisht and influcnce of the middlo class, whick, perlaps, could be done by the establishment ot produe tive associations on the Lassalle priuciple. - Dr. Duchring compused the desirea memorial, which, befng subsequently published with ‘Wagener’s name on the title-page, ied to the setion in which the sbove curious particalars were _deposed. Coupliog this disclosury with Prince Bismarck's repeated devlara tions against the class franchise prevailiny in Prussia, which enapled the middle orders:o return opposition Parljaments fiom 1581 to 156, the motives of the versatile Premier in palming ‘manhood-suffraze upon his country are pretty clear. Nor is it to be wondered. at that the Su- clulistic press was leniently treated atatime when Lassalle principles wers countenanced, and when, it must be owned, the avowed ob- jects of the party were mildness ftself i com- ‘parizon with what they are aiming at now. Besides brinzing on manlhood-suffraze, the establishment of Germau unity led toother changes, promotinz the growth of Sociatistic doctrines. The new Commuonwealth having to be cemented by concessious to the Liberl parts, and Governmeut not intending to in- treaso -the constitntional prerogatises of the “people, ccopomical reform was. the et of the day. In a couple of years the laws regulating commerce and trade * ere entirely metamorphosed. ‘The - conatry-seople were al-* lowed to pour into the towns, " “The contral ex- ercised by masters over joy Jeymen and ap- prentices was abrogated. “The responsiblity of masters 4ud journcymen trward each other and toward manurineturers we 4 practically annulled, imprisonment ceasing t. be a lezal panalty for oreacl: of contract. 7o supplement the license allowed -she poorer classes by similar grants to the richer, the establishment sod sction of joint-sto ck cow.panies was freed from Gorera- ment superzision.

As it was, the sudilen- ness and comprehensiveness of retorm did 13 ruch harm as its abase bad infiicted in previous ‘ears. g Upon a socfety seething under the excitement of this social revolution dropped the five mill- fards of the French indemuity. The indiscre- tion of the Government in sowing the mopey brondeaat qyer the country, and the mischisl cntailed, have been descrided in their day. The financial bacchanal which sens ap the wages of the ordinary laborer to $3.75 s day was suc.exded by a commereial crisls, unabated after five yars’ duratiou. Bubble concerns and excessive com= etition, begotten of French gold, damazed smaller capitalists. Reckless extravazance and wanton strikes were replaced by involuntars idleness and pitiable destitution in whole séc- tions of the working classes. Just When 8 ray of light was breakingz in upon the dars scent, the Russian must tale it futo_his head to il erate the Slav, and make the Teuton pay for b philantbrovy by rude relapse into commercil straits. Thirty Socialistic journals, and tweivs members of Parliament adbering to the like prineiples, are the outcome of the situatfon. IE these are the financial and political rols from which the poisonous tree bas soruns, fruit could mever have been swallowed w such avidity but for the vitiated stateof the surrounding atmosphere. ‘Lo pass muster, 80f German movement requires the support U scientific men.
