Minister Noyes Proves to Be a Strong Card for the Republicans. He Is Confldent that Hayes Hon- estly Carrfed the State of Florida, And that the Frauds Attributed to Republicans Were Olearly Disproved. Hayes Had No Part in Sug- gesting His First Visit to Florida, Nor Did He DJMake Any Promises as Coming from Hayes. McLin’s Letters as Compared with Some of His Qon- fessions. Showing How Wonderfal a Thing Is the Conscience of a Florida Politician, Dennls’ Toestimony Goes to Corroborate Noyes® Statement. Far Nearly $100,000000 of Four Per Osnts Taken by the People, DEMOCRATIC SET-BACK. MINISTER NOYES' FOMITION. Bpectal Dirpated to The Tribune. Wasiixatox, D. C., June 23.—The testimony in the Potter investigation destroys the Demo- cratic hope of making political capital out of the Florida case, snd combletely vindicates Minister Noycs. Therefs loft no substantial basis whatever even for Democratic pretense that Noyes acted corruptly. The Democratic majority of the House of Representatives must take the responsibility of having by name, and without justification, humilfatcd & 1nan distin. Ruished for his scrvices Lo the country. It was shown not ouly tuat Gov. Noyes, befors the count, did not make any promises to the Re- turning Board that Hayes, If (naugurated, would provide for them, but that ho never had any conversation alone with McLin uatil after the count was comploted. That, fn fact, McLin complaloed because : TN REPUDLICANS DID KOT VISIY MIN, while the Democrats, represected by Manton Marble, had calied upon him aud satd thatir the State should go for Tilden his (McLin's)-| future would be provided for. Instead of proving & caso agalnst Noyes, the only person to whom corrupt efforts have been proved to attach s Manton Marble. Even the Alachua Giaut confessed that he never told Noyea of any suspiclons of fraud; that on the contrary Noyes ncted only as a lawyer to argue tho evidence which Dennis and others had pre- pared for him. The ouly polnt where even suspicion could attach to Noyes was in Dennls’ statement vesterday that he told Noyes not to call him a8 a witness befors the County Can- vassers, and that he was not called. To-day Gen. Low Wallaco, of Iudians, testl- fied that TIIE REASON WIIY DENNIS WAS NOT CALLRD was beeause Dennls caused it to be understood that If he was compelled to testify it would re- sult In personal Injury to himselt, and his state- ment was more creditable from the fact that Deanis’ life had frequently been throatoned, and that io a church he had sworn a band of negro followers to avengo his death should he fall. Noycs' statement was confirmed by Lew Wallace, ex-Attorney-General Littls, of Oblo, and by Gov. Stearns, of Florids. The Florida casc {8 practically closcd, and not o word has been received agalnst Minlstor Noyes. Clarkson Potter’s maoner indicates that he felt somewhat humillated by the positios ha was fn, and that he found it difficuls to eatisfy his consclence {n view of the evidence for having becn {he instrument of maklng so monstrous a charge azalost Gov. Noyes. Members of the Potter Committee now expect to temvorarily cloze the fnvestigation fn about ten days. A Sub-Commlttee, conaisting ol McMahon, 8pring- er, Hunton, Coz, and Butler, is appoluted to sit during the summer if thero s occasion for it, but Democratlc members say nobody is futer- ested In the proposed lino of fnvestigation but Ben Butler, and that consequently the Sub- Committes will scarcely meot. SENATOR KELLOGG has been excuscd from attendance upon the Totter Committes until July 7, or unti! he has made a visit to Chicago. TOTTEN'S PROCRAMME, ‘o the WWatern Associated Pre Wunmrawr, D, ., June %.zfi'o Potter Comimliitee appointed Messrs. Hunton, McMa- hon, 8pringer, Butler, and Hiscock a sub-coni ailtice to remain in Washington aud take testi- mony.

Petersburg. DENNIS. PRAUDS ON BOTR SIDES, Wasnixoron, D, C., Juns 23.—At the sesslon of the Poiter Committee to-day, L. E, Dennls resumed his story, lesald that Box No. 2 ot the Arclior Precinet, Alachua Couuty, Fia., was objected to by the Democrats on account of an alleged fraud. The loapector of the polls bad, Iu a confldontial conversation with the witness, sdinitted that tbere Lad been 219 frandulent vames added to the list of voters, and his kuowledge of this fact was partially the cause of his declintog to testily as requested by Qov, Noyes, The addition of these 319 nanies was a matter of public notoricty. The witncss was sppoiuted by the Becretary of the Treasury asan cmploye in the secret agrv- fee. llis fustructions were to examine the recy ords of the United States Courts In North and touth Carolius, Georgis, and Florida. After ‘resignlug this position he was appointed an agent of the Internal Revenus Department, but his commission was canceled before be ontered upon the dutles of that office, THE LETTER OF RECOMNENDATION writtca by Gouv. Noyes was submitted. Itis a formal letter of recommendation to Bocretlsry Bberman, mentioning the witness as one of the many Republicans who were ostracised {n Flori- da, sud comnmendiog his application to the con- sideration of the Becretary. ‘Tho witacss nover kuew of Gov. Noyes hav- 0 {og put in evidence before the Returning Board anything excepting facts as furnished him. It was the {dea of the Houthern Repubilicans to impressuponthe minds of Northern Repub- licana that everything was falr, and honest In F¥lorlda, To Mr. Butler—The witness bellsved that the retarns In Archer Precinct should Lave shown 219 votesin excess of what thay did for the Republican party. The Republlean officers made up the deficlency from the remistratton. book, 80 28 to make the returns show their proper number of votes. Ho belleved thecs had been fraud on both aldes. When the votes were turned out of & box the miseing number of Republican votes appeared ss Lavisg heen legally cast. Ppe L wiLY, \Vlmeln’te-tmn} that Black, Republican In- spector of Election, aud Vauce, Repnblican Clerk, had marda aflidsvits to the correctness of the return, and his reasou for not wishing to go on the stand was that his testimony would have tended strongly to have eontradicted theirs. Ha did not discloss this knowledgo to Gor. Noves, but simply tried to Imoress him with the ideathat he had not better put him on the stand because it would injure hin case, STATEMENT LY BUTLER. Mr, Butler stated that ha had gone Into the cxamination at greater length than he had in- tended, because he wanted 1o show that Gov, Noves had no knowledge at the timeof the facts testifled to by witness, Mr. Iliscock eald be expected to produce the evidence of Vance and Black, showlng that they did not raise the return, also evideuce showing that as miany men swore they voted the Republican ticket, whosa names were on tha poll-list, as were certfled by the returns. He 'was willing to leave the iasue right here, with the understanding that the point was not clused before the publie. Mr. Dennls was instructed to hold himself In readincss to appear before the Committee at ita call, it having been decided that the matter of the maaipulation of votes in Alachua County 'was not yet closed. MINISTER NOYES. FLORIDA FACTS. ‘Wasnnarox, D. C., June 28.~Fdward F. Noyes, United Btates Minister to France, tes- tified that he was ju attendancs upon the Can- vassing Doard fn Florida during the last Presi- dential election. The witness pronounced the statement made by Gen. Cocke before the Florida Bub-Cominit- tee to the effect that he(witness), Cowgill, Gov. Stearns, and McLin were locked together in the roum of the Secretary of Btate before the meet- ing of the Board, AN UNQUALIFIED PALSRIOOD, He had no private conference with suy of those gentlemen that required locked doors, and with 3cLin he bad no private confereuce at sil. Gov. Noyes—{ wili state how I catne to go to Floride. Thero was a meeting of prominent Republicans held st the office of Mr. Bateman, United States Attorney for the Bouthern Dis- trict of Ohlo, and at that meeting Richard Bmith, of the Cincinnat! Gazeits, wns preaent, and told us he had received telexramns that Democratic politicians from the North were sssembled at Now Orleans, and he, with other Republicaus present, thought It was for the ourpose of taking from Itsyes a State which they firmly belleved belonged to him, and it was #ght thal some Republicans from the North, of prominence, should go thers tu LOOK APTER THD MATTER. Various names wers sugpested, my own among tho rest, and finally Job E Stephenson, a former member of Congress from that State, sald he would go it 1 wonld, and, that very night, without communication with Gov. Hayes or anybody else, Stephenson and myself started, 1 do not remember whether Scuator Matthews went with us or met na thers, but he was there at tho same time. We remained two or three days, during which nothing was dons except to arrange preliminaries with the Democratic Yisitors, There were various Ropublicans down there who had come Irom the North, Finding mv presence’ not necessary, I prepared to go back to Cinclopati, but asbout that time Eugene Halo recelved s tch from the Natlonal Committes ng there was great danger Flurida would be stolen from us, sud fayiog astreug committee should be sent to Tallaliassee. For some Lime nobody would consent to go, but at last Mr. Kasson and Gen. Wailace said they would ko it I would, whereupon, without haviog beeu s designated’ by anybody, I sturted witl two gentlemen for Tallshassee. That isthe whols story of my golng there. ARCHUER PRRCINCT. Tn speaking of Archer Precinct, witneas said: I desired, In proparing the case, to know from the electors themselves how many of them had sctually voted the Republican tickut. We sent down thero tow%u evidence, and my remembrance Is of Kepublican votes counted and returned. We proved about 840 or 830, and 1 was told that they could not get the rest because the parties had acattered iu yarlous directions. But we came so near to ftusto make it v.horolfizhlv fmpossible that 219 votes bad becn added. That satiatied e, and scemod to satisfy tlio Caovassing Bound, I wish to say that no mortal man ever told me or intiniated to me while fu Florids that there was anrthing fraudulent sbout thet return exeept what was sworn to befare t. 3 Canvassing Hoard and was made public. I mesn I had no private tnforma- tlonderived from any source whatever. [ honestly and conscieutiously belleve that the return made and urgued by me was right, and can say that we :made & case which would satisfy ANY UNPREJUDICED COURT IN CHRISTENDON, I wanted Dennis to be a witness, as he sworn, because from the very begluning he insisted on the truthfulness of that retury, and tiad undertaken to prove (sud had proven it to niy satisfaction), and because he was 5o tuus- ougbly acquainted with the country and knew the pcople who lived thers, aud could testily as to persons whose pames appesred on the Hat, 3 a =0 desfred for that reason that ke should appear as a witness. Perbaps asked ‘him several times to by witness. He eavs ho never made anv reply to it but unce, and theu o some forus of worde which he doea not undertake to give, He tried o give ma the frupression that, §f I put biin on the stand, ba would injure my case. Ido not dounbt his words when he suys lo wesut tu conyey that Impression, but I’ solemnly swear that he did nut coavey that finprossion to me. What hie sald was Io the prosence of Gen. Wal- lace, wiio is now In the room, snnd he will testily on that pofut. I bad already learued that DENNIS' LIPE NAD DEEN THREATENED, and that be consldered himself In very great dangor, 1o bad reluted to me on une decasion that, when his life was thregtened, he tiad called together in a church somewhiere ull the colored people Iu the vicinity, and be had miade them kneel down sud swear that, If ho was killed, they would lay waste and revenge his death, Remnembering what he had sald, | recelved the impression on this occasion that the reason thut he did mot want to testify was that he did wot want to briug himself in conilics with those peo- ple n‘zmarn. especially as Lo was himself g candldate fur the Senate, ana hls owu clection was at stake, That is the only impression | got from bim.
