Bpectal Dispatch to The Tribune, Wasmnaton, D. C., June 16.—Tho Potter Committes scems to be out of sensational mat- ter. Yesterday it continued to mull over the matter of tho corrected returns from Loulsiana. To nccount for repeated postponsments of the examination of Mrs, Jenks, the story has been circulated that she waa summoned st the re- quest of Mr. Bhellabarger, and the Democrats were waiting tili bo called her, The foct fs that hodid not ask to have her called, though he asked for herhusband. No witnesscs bave been summoned by the Democrats to cxplamn how tha North Carolina Electoraljreturns were taken back to that State for correction, nor exactly what was dono In the way of rectiication; nor have the Arkansas Elcctors been sent for to ex- plain bow it happeued that thenames of all the Elcctors on the envelopes of the Democratic roturus from that State were written by the same band, A PINE DISTINCTION. ‘Tne Democrats on the Committes take the samo ground In regard to these informalities— thnt théy only violated $be statute provision, whilo the Republican corrections in Loulstana were violatiuns of & constitutlonal directlon, ‘Ihe charge so widely cireulnted that Gov. Kel- fogg attached tho seal of the State to the amended returns s wholly incorrect. The only certilicats by the Governor in connection with the Diectoral returns was one scttiug forth, under scal of the State, that certaln persons named had been elected Electors for Iresident and Vico-President, and such a certificate he would be at ltberty to moke as often as he saw At after the results of the election had been officially cotn- municated to him, ‘There 18 no certificate of the Governor attested by the scal of tho State, as churged, to the effect that the Electors named had signed the sccond sot of certificates, The louisinna Sub-Committee will conalst of Blackburn, Btenger, Democrats, sud Reed, Republican, A PRUITLESS BESHION. Apecial Dispaich S0 The Tribune, Wasmnoton, D, C., June 15—The session of the Potter Commission was a fruitless oue, tho peadency of linportaut measurcs fo the louse preventing u continuous examinatlon. Clarke, o former private secrctary of Gov. Kel- logur, was examined, and proved to bo a remark- ably good witness, Ho described In detall the manner in which tho second set of certificates of the Elcctoral Collego was reccived, and, from Lis teatiinony, it wus very clear that there was no lutention on the part of any person to com- mita forgery. Clarke himsell bad charge of the new sot of certiricates, which were sproad out upon a tavle in a room, snd word scnt to the different Electors to come and sign. Curiously enough, the Democratie members did not ask Clarko s to the manuer in which Lev- issec’s signature wasobtained. The Democrata appear to Lo atill unwilling to call Mrs, Jenks, Rumors increase that her testimony will be strongly agalust Auderson; that she will show that he was engsgud in a conapiracy, and prove this, not only by her own oath, but by corrobo- rativo testimony, It 18 very evident that the Democrats are extremely afrald of Mrs, Jenks, aod it {s not at all impossibla that their case way be rulned by ber testimony. Chairman Yotter says that immediately after adjournment the fnvestigation will proceed in Wasnington and New Orlesns, and witl be com- pleted as early as possible. DURCIARD'S KESOLUTION, Epectal Dispalch to The Tridune, Wasninaron, D, C., June 15.—1hero Is a great deal of feeling smong the Republicans agalnst Burchard for having mioved his resolution rela- tive to the Presidential title yesterday without consulting with his political sssoclatcs. The Republicans, as s whole, maintalu that the Democrats should have been permitted to ex- tract themaelves from thelr ditemina by thebeat means theycould, and there are many reasous to beileve #hat If the Burchard resolution had not boen moved the report from the Judiclary Com- mittee eftber would not havo been mado at all, or, havipg been maode, wight not have recelved enough Denmocrauts votes to lave sed. The polley of the Repub- licun mden. from the beglnuing, —has Leen to abstain on thisquestion, upon the theor: that, inusauch as the Democrats had cntere: upou & revolutlonary course, it was incumbent upon them to explaln thelr uttitudo tothe coun- try in thelr way, This Burchard’s resolution prevented. iowever, ths Democratic vote againat the resolution ineuns litle, as, to & very considerable uumber of those who voted, tho vote {s slinply u recorded e, It meaus to them nothing more than a resolution sgainst subsi- dies veuerally lotroduced st the begluning of every scsslon, aud passed aud generally violated later in the scsston by wajority of thoss who voted for It. 'the Democratic vote agalust the resolutiop now can have no poasible cifect urfln the approval or disapproval of any revolutiva- u‘v report that the Potter Committes wmay next winter be diaposed to make. MINISTER NOYES, LIS BETURN. Nzw Yonk, Juue 16.—~The Hon. E, F. Noyes, United Minlster to Franuce, arrived {o this city last night by the stegmer City of Richmond, Gen. Noyes was suet ou the lundiog by Geo. Kuapp, who was Adjutant-Genersl of Oblo duripg bis Qubernatorial terio, aud by several other friends. In couvgrsatiou with a repre- sgutative of the Associuted Press touching the CIIICAGO, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1878, matter that brought him back st thistime, Mintster Noyen sald: I went to Florlda for no parpose on esrth except tonecertain the vote of the Htate. and to ace whether or not the popular_vote had been cast for the evublican Electors. I atated 1o the two He- pabliean membeors of the Canvassing Lioard that all we wantcd was an honest decinlon. } never made any promiee to McLin of any other member of the Hoard, nor did 1 suggest any possible reward or recegnltion in case Gov. liayes shoald he finally decinred elected, ana, a0 far ns McLin ia concern- £d, T nover saw him slone ono moment In my life before the vote of Flurida had heen cant. [am now informed for the firat time that cven McLin docs not say I made him ‘any promise. $iad{ known that before leaving Paris [ shuuld not have demanded a subpena, but shonld have romained in France to attend to ‘my public duties, 1do not care to be more -&:eelnr’. 24 it wonld perhaps be in bad tante, considering 1 am so soon to give my aworn statement to thy Committee, IN TR COURSE OF PURTIIER CONVERSATION Minlster Noyes sald tuat, while he did not care at this time to be fnterviewed, he had nothing whatever to conceal. He also expressed a hope that every politiclan In the North, whether Democrat or Republican, would be subp @naed who had visited Florida on this business, os that would be only fair to all partles interested orconcerned in the matter. It was certainly due to him, since ho had been so conspicuously named In the proamble of Potter's resolution, Minlster Noyes will leave for Washington to- morrow morming. He wlll visit Oblo before returning to France. SILVER. TAB PRESIDENT'S HOSTILITY, pectal Ditpalea to suc Lribune. Wasninerox, D. C., June 16.—Dissatisfac- tion at the appolntment of Fenton and Groes- beck on the Bilver Commission continues. It is pussible that Fenton may bs rejected, unless tho President should withdraw hle name. ‘The siiver men are uot satisfled with him, They soy he hns nevor idestiied him- sell with the silver movement, avd that ha at most is a politiclan who only secks the place for political advautage. THE DELEUATION of thoSenate Finance Cummittee which waited upon the President to Induce him to withdraw the names of Uroesbeck and Fenton as members the International Munetary Conference was not successful. T Prestdent heard their ob- Jections, and stated that he conld uot withdraw thelr names, and that the Senate must efther conflrm or reject them, ‘fhe nppolutmeut of Fenton fa sald to bo another effort of Evarts to play the politictan, It {s necessary that Fenton shiould be recogulzed in some way, end, us he could . not be made Collector of New York, to provent him from being neglected aitagether, Lie ins been given this consplcuous place.

C., June 10.—The Senate Appropriations Committce has been working all day on the Sundry Clvll Appropriation Lill, and to-night has nearly completed ft. Thero seems littlo doubt now of final anjournment Tuesday night. The Senate Committea has re- stored the additional $100,000 appropriation for the Chicago Custow-flouse building, and there I8 good reason torhink thattheappropriation wil remaln at that sum, which, with the $100,000 already nppropriated in the Deflclency bill, will maoke the 500,000 estimated, The Bupervlsing Axchitect, in tho uriginal draft of his estimates, proposed to ask for $050,000 for the Chicago Custom-House, and to provide for the specdy completion of the bullding wnd the etopping of rents, but Secretary Bherman, who wished to Le particularly economical in his cstimates, reduced the sum to §500,000, and then the House Committee reduced it to $50,000, HARD AT WORK.

NEARING THE END. AN ADJOUNNMENT AGRERD ON, Epectal Diwaich 1o The Tribune. ‘Wasnixaton, D, U, Juns 15.—At the even- fng session tho two Houses came to a compro- niso on the question of final adjournment by fixing Tuesday at 4 o'clock. A Conferenve Committee upon the Braziilan subsidy was finally appofntod on the part of the House, con- slsting of Cannen, who defeated the subsidy, Morrison, and Waddell. The House part of tho Committeo {s hostils to tho subsidy, and tho result undoubtedly will be the defeat of the entiro bill, a3 & number of the Senate Com- mittee say they consider the Sonate has been discourteously treated by having the bill ro- turned toit, and that they will no conclude to pass the Post-Route bill without some of its fin- portant amendments passed by tho Bcuate. These fuclude the smendingnt relative to the classitication of mall maty] Qxing unlform rates for newspaper Pun 0, the franking privilege, and the Brazilian spbsidy, The Houso directed ita Conferencs Committes toroceds from the position assumed on tho Lepislative bilt, and decided fu effect that the Senato has the right to control the number ond pay of ployes. This makes the passuge of the Le, tive bill certaln hr the llousa having receded on oue potut of difference. It secins therefore entirely practicable to adjourn Tucsday at the appolnted hour.

The contest over this sub- Ject showed that there is an {rreconcilable dif- ference of opinfon between the producers of tobaceo . and the large dealers. The Bouthern men generally denounce the great manufactur- ers, and say the effect of rge tax is to strenctien the manufacturing monopuly. An amendment was added providing that the reduc- tion of 16 cents abail not go juto eflect until Beptember. RIVERS AND HARAORS, ‘Wasninaton, June 15.—Tne conference report on the river and harbor abomina- tion was adopted in the Ilouse by the large vote of 150 veas to 98 nays. ‘This 15 the greatest river snd harbor steal since the founda- tiun of tMs Govarument, The Senate Increased the bill about $1,000,000, the ageregate as It nssed belng 85,501,000, Of this Chicago gets 75,000, and Calumet $10,000.

The House surrendered its polnts as to the number of men and as tothe inmediate reorganiza- tion of the army und the tranafer of the Indian Burcau, these several subjocts being referred to Conimissions. The provision ss Lo & posse com- itatus or use of the armny In time of peace, however, was praserved with some Importuut modlfications. ‘The penalty clause was stricken out for the good reason, it no other, that the Eeneral law alreagy provides penalties for ofll- cers who do not obey thelr superiors. Inthe luuse, it was contended by the Bouthern men that tho pruvision as retalned would permit the employinent of troops in time of peace. There were, liowever, but tfty-five voles gzsiost the Vil In the louse. CARTER HARRISON moved as an amendment totheTobbacco bill his bill to relinpose the tncowme tax, This met with a stubborn reslstance.

BERLIN, June 15.—~It has leaked out that s most important incident which was kept sccret terminated the first sesslon of Canuress on ‘Thuredav, Lord Beaconsfield demanted ener- getically that an arrangement should be at once made by which the Russian army and the British fleet shoull withdraw simullaneously from the vicinity of Constantinople during the scsslon of the Congress, so as to remave all possiblesource of danger to the peace of Europe, uutil = final settlement could be arrived at. Prince Qortschakoff, on the art of Ruesfa, expressed tha strongest oppo- sitlon to thi® proposal, Insisting on the necesslty of the Russian forces rematuing In the wositions they now occupy until the Cungress ahiould come to a final declsion on the nueation to be lald Lefore ft. This pronounced diver- gence of opinion showed the diplomatists pre- sent TR EXTRRME DELICACY AND DIFFICULTY of the task they had undertaken, and dissipated the sanguine expectations with which some of them had come to the Congruss. Count Andrassv.sacing the dangerof thesitua- tion, Interposed and made s strong spyeal to the Russlan and Euglish representatives to compromlise this matter for the time being, so that the Congress might go on with its work; but neither would yield a single point, and ANDRASSY’S APPEAL WAS IN VAIN. A really embarrassing altuation was thus presented to the assembled delegates at the very outset, and they were utterly st a loss what to do, Prince Blsmarck, with his usual promptitude and vigor, sceing that further discussion was uscless, determined to adjourn the sesaion to Monday, so as to sllow of private ef- forts at compromising the dificuity, and also to allow time {n which to develov & pinn for meet- Jug the emergency in case both parties should ralst In maintainfog the position taken, This s regarded as THRE ONLY WAY the matter could be thus disposed of, as the Congress could make no progress in the face of such an ugly hitch, ‘The conclusion arrived at {n the best Informed diplomatic ctreles, from this unforeseen inefdent, 1s that the tirst opinjons which were generally expressed 08 to the prospects of the Congress were decidedly too optitnistic, and that great ditlicultles will fuevitably arise. In fact, from to-duy the Congress is face to face with a diiticulty that wilt tax the ekill of the ablest statesinen present, and a decidedly glovmy view of the prospect Ls beginniug to prevail. It [s_conceded on all sldes, however, that rince Bismarck Is determined that the Cou- gres hall arrive at a satisfactorv solution of the Eastern question, and that he will use all THE POWER AND INFLUENCE OF GERMANY to bring about an understanding. The belief in his powcer fsso preat that many experienced statesmen, who see dillicultics enough In the way. are cuntldent that he will eventually suc- cecd in averting war, In fact, with many this coulldence in Blsmarck's peaceful views la the only ground un witich the hube of a successful Iseuc or the Congress is based. Priuce Gortachakofl, In order to place his peaceful {ntentions besoud all reasonsble doubt, has offered, without any request hav- ing en made, tu piace coples of his fustructions to. the Itusstan Comuussioners in RBulgatia before the Congress, cluiming tbat these do:uments would show that he had no sympathy with the sbsorbing or aunexa- tivn tendencies ‘of lgnatiefl's policy. On the queation of Bessarabia, Lowever, he will MAKE NO COMPROMISE. Hosays that Russia will Inaist absolutely on the retrocession to Russia of that terntory, and will take uo equivulent for it, ‘The Rounaalau Coinmissionars present here declare that if the Congruss does not give Roua- nania her righta sue will defend Hessarabis by forie of arms. ‘The Montenegrins say the same with 1cgard to Antivarl, It {s nuw known for certain that the Austrian Government yesterday gave orders for the IMMEDIATE MOBILIZATION OF B0,000 MEN 80 as to be ready for nlt emergendtes. This 18 regarded as a sure indication tuat Austria hus little confidence in the Congress; butan ex- planstion may be also found in the fear of com- plications arising from the attitudeof Roumania and Montenegro.

Tobscco he hated, but with the hstred of ignorance, for he hdd never smoked: - and tobacco, he maintained, . had the effect, which he equally attributed to Journalism, of occupying uselessly time which might be devoted to serlous purposes’ Apart, too, from the question of wasted: hours, the practice of smoking, he belleved, drew gradu- ally on the energles of the smoker; as cone tributing to the periodical press frittercd away® the talent of the writer. Neither of thess oropositions need be too closely exsmined. Balzac did not himeelf ingly possessed no ‘‘subjective Immmdg" of smoking and its effects; while as a Journalist his efforts were neither eonstant, nor frequent, not fortunate. It was Balzac who first epun- clated the idea that literary critics wero writers who bad failed a8 anthors of books, an 'ldea since extended to creativo and critical work gea~ erally, . Baizac could think of no country In which stimulants of some kind had never been resort- ed to. tatting aside savage lands, and lands which have no history, it may safely be affirmed that the use of fermented grape-julce dates baclke from the carlicet ages. * Adam's wine,” jrow- ever, was, according to a popular idea, simple water; and the Israclites in the desert seem not only to have had no wine to drink, but at times to hlave been reduced to sore straits for want of the more natural beveraze. When, after thelr wanderings, the Isrselites took once more to wine they drank it only at the” end of their ro- paste,—a practice which some of the gresatest modern authorities on dict recommend fu the preseut day, - Wine Is certainly the most anclent of the three great stimulants recognized by Balzac, coffee, like tea,is & modern invention; suis tobacco. But wine, If not as ‘ancient as tho world, Is at lcast as ancient as the inost ancient literature in the world. The Bible, Herudotus, Homer, and all tho Greek and Latin " posts speak of wine, und speak well of it as a rule. Boloman, in moments of depression, savs, it 18 true, bitter things against it, comparing it to an adider's tongue, and counsoling those who' are unduly fond ot it to put a koife to thetr throat rather than loaulge thelr taste at a lord’s table. Examples, on the other haud, have been recorded frum the earljest titne of the ifll-cifects sometimes produced by drinking water at unsuitable toments and to excess. King Cleumenes, accordiug to Plu- tarch, lost his volce fur ever by drinking water when hie was In & heat, The soldiers of - Alex- ander the Gireat after crossine the desert arank the water ot the Oxus with ‘so much avidity that mure men dled from this imprudence than had been slain-in any one of Alexauder's bat- tles. Inthe retreat of Nopoleou's army from Moscow, Barron Larry, the Emperor’s physi- clan, voticed terrible effects from sudden and frumuderate water drinking after long periods of wbatiuence, [t {s verhuvs for such reasuns as are given by Larrey, no less than tor the sake of order and discipline, that soldiers on the march are always strongly furbldden to leave the ranks in quest of water, uven when water s cluse at hand. tt fs kuown all the same that after o fatiguing march on & hot day even the best troops cau searcely be restrained tn presence of & runnivg stream. England, notwithstanding the eiforts of temperance socioties, can scarcely be cousidered a country of water drinkers. Nelther can Fraoce, where every one drinks wine, and where teinperance socletles are but little known and—especially in the wine.dis- tricts—but littls needed, A “French physican, hawever, has thought it necessary to publish- series of cautions for the henellt of immoderato water drinkers, whown he warns (lf not after a’ loug walk to drink cold water without, sitting down for & time; {£) to cat something belors drinking; (3) to driuk In smatl wmuuthfuls; (4) not to drink too mueh at once, Thesc rules, exeellent no doubt for water drinklog, might, esweclally the fourth, be equally recommended to drivkers of wine. G " A character forexcessive drinking has belonged st various times to varlous nations, In Hawe let's time the custom, ‘‘more honored in tie breach than In the ohservance,' was vigorousiy kept up by the Nurwegiuns, the Dutch, but, above sll, by the Eoglish, who, as the Prince of Denmark, or Shakspeare speaking fn his namne, h|cld drink 1o greater excess than aay other na- tion, Scotland is in uny casc tho most drunken country in Europe. Yet noone can mantain that Scotch, as a nation, arc inferior In enerey, in thrift, In trustworthiness, ond in all the qualities which habliual drunkeoness should de- stroy, to the [taliaus, the Bpaniards, and other races famed for temperance. It sy be naticed, Iu this connectiny, that at the prescat day temuerance socletles have tlour~ isted und ottalned thelr greatest development In Norway, Eu‘;llnd, and the Unlted States. 1t 1a recorded of Peter the Great's Irlend, Lo Fort, that ho was “'a Swiss by his lutegrity, by his fu- dependence, but, above all, by hisloveof driuk.” “Thiat tbis last polut should have been noticed in the country of Leter the Great—where Peter himscll was tn tho hablt of guiplog down, with and without {mpunity, large plasses of brandy, and whera the drinking of bowls of liguor was consfdered an appropriste punishinent for bresches of oti- uctte at the C omblics—a much for € Fort’s prowess as & toper. A traveler of the seventeenth century wrote of the Iussians’ asslun for strung drink that a Freuclgnan, i s fiy fel) mto lls wine, would throw away the fy uid the wine also; that an Engllshmoan woulid take out the fly and drink the wine; but that a Russlan would swallow the wine, lly and alt, so tlat the wine which thie fly had awallowed wmizht not escape him. In the elghteenth century the Pules, prubably becauso they were better kuown, had a worse nams for intempersuce than the Rueslans.
