C., June 20.—There was one point in the Potter iuvestieation to-day which the Democrata did mot care. to press. Mrs. Jeuks swore thatin an interview with Svpher, Anderson’s counsel, Sypher iutimated that he was also counsel for Tilden. The Democrats bad no further questions to ask on that point. Mrs, Jenks was more petulant to-day than she has been at any tiwe, aod quiteas personal. Being asked whetbier she had offered to pay anybody for Sherman’s letter, she snid, “ How could I, for, search the world from zoue to zone, T could not call one spot of grouna my own” In response to an lnquiry 23 to what her occupation is, she said, “Iama eneral genius, but now- ¢Othelio’s occupation is gone.) The. Republicavs are dead n Lous- fana.”? Tk WILLIAM E. CEANDLER had another day before the Comumittee, and Ben Butler more fuily outlined the fnteation of laying the foundation for impeaching the Pres- ideut by attempting to prove that the ingugura- tion of Hayes was the result of a bargatn, But- fer's starting point was, the interyiew which Chaandler had with Slaa Matthews ten days Velore the mauguration. Matthews urged Chandler to use his inflnence to prevent President Graut from recognizing the Packard Governtent, as it was the iutention of IHayes to rccognize the Nichols and the Hamptou Governments. This, Cnandier said, was the first intimation of dishonor and the dishonorable course that was aiterwards fol- lowed by the Administration. Matthews said be had examined the question, and did not think that Hayes' title and Packard’s title were on the same footing. **as the Returning Board counted the Presidentiul Electors, while tbe Legislature determined the election of Gov- ernor.” Chandler urged tnat suca a coul would give a Republican Administration snd 8 Democratic Senate, but Staoley Matthews re- plicd that it had baen or would be arranged that the Republican Senators would be elected. Butler threw one brick successfully in b THE FLORIDA BG SINES3. He showed that the political workers from Flor- ida bad been appointed to office on William £. Chandler’s recommendation, without intima- .tions as to Clyil-Sersice requirements. Gen. Town Anderson, of the Returping Board, denied haviug auythiog to do with forgiug the nawmes of any of the Electors to Electoral re- turns. NOYES' VINDICATION: The Democrats are greatly embarrassed on _account of the complete vindication of Minister Noyes. 1tis well known that Speaker Rundall refused to permit the Potter resolution to be preseuted as o privileged question, < ex- cept specific charzes of an impeach- aole mature were wade. Otherwise he did mnot comsider tbe question could be maiptained as one of privilege. The Demo- crats, without consideration for Noyes or Sher- man, largely took the nint, and made slanderous accusations against them. The conspicuous feature of the investication bas been the re- markable persistence with which both Sherman and Noges have “defended themseives. So far as Noyes at least is coucerncd, the Committee ought to have no choice in determining what it, shall do. The sladder of the majority of the House of Representatives is completely refuted, and Minister Noyes leaves here with the assu ance from Democratic members that he had n dishonorable connestion with the Florida votef; 3 JENKS. SPRINGER SNAPPED UP. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.—Mrs. Agnes Jenks appeared, and produced her correspond- ence with James E. Auvderson, but, Gen. Butler being nbsent, the letters were not read. Mrs. Jenks, under examination, still retused to disclose the name of. the person to whom she dictated the so-calied Sherman letter. The par- ty was sitting agaiust & wall in Parlor P when she entered, and when she left ber amanueusis was sitting at the table. Mr. Sprivger made some. inquiries into the employment of the witness’ husband, aud was answered thatat present be was merely em- ploved as a witness before the sugust body car- rying on this investigation. ‘The witness then inquired why Mr. Springer was interested 0 much in her husband's wel- fare, and was informed thet she had become 8 very notorious personage. Mrs. Jenks objected to this' statement, and said she Liad made Soringer notorious, and not he her. Mre. Jenks said at the time her letters were written to Anderson she made copfes of them before delivery, and added: “They are ver- batim copies in my own handwriting.” 1 also, wish to put in evidence a letter I wrote Mr. Sypher, and oue received from him, and as TE REPRESENTS NR. TILDEN I think it is right they shonld go into the case. Mr. Sprinzer—I object to Temarks of that kind going on our record. Witness—Well, from_the conversation I held with Sypher hinself I drew the inference—— £.—Are you acquainted with Mr. Reynolds, pubifsher of the paper at Bayou Sara? A.—Yes, sir; when I made my first visit to Donaldson- ville Reynolds cscorted ne from E. L.

Q.—The reason you did not speak to Reynolds was that you did uot speak with common peo- ple? A —Well, 1 did not suppose you wanted all the tramps in the country to know abouit it.

By Mr. Butler—(.—From whom did you wet the Tirst information that the Packard Goveru- ment_was to he broken up or o\'erllx_mwn! A.—The_tirst_information wuich I cousidered reliable I received - FROM STANLEY MATTHEWS, some time berween the 1Sth and 25tn of Feb- ruary, 1577, 1 called upou him in bis room at Wormley’s and baa 2 conversatfon With him. Itold hun 1 had called to see him, because I had heard that Gov. Hayes, when he should come to Washington. intended ta stop at some private house. and 1 wauted to express the Lope that he'would not do so, but would 20 to sume hotel sa 8s to avold -the jealonsies that arise in _such cases: - He replied ne thongbt Gov. Hayes wounld stop eicher at Jndge Swayne's or Senator Sherman’s. 1 then said, us an excuse for cowing to him on the subject, that I felt some sort of responsi- bility for Gos. Hayes until the ith of March, aud then I said, b will take care of himself.” Matthews " replied, ** Sioce_yon take so much interest in getting the new Administration so well started, I wisn you would do the best you can or use your influence to prevest Uresident Gruat’s recoanizing the Packard Government.” That remark at once excited my attention, as it was the tirst tangible evidence Thad had tuat u thiok of Ben Butler? " asked [ sisting that the dishonor and _ishonesty which afterwards . | followed was contemplated. I said it oceurred . Weber off into a_{'to me it e bess b would be about the best thine if Gaant should recognize and establish the Packard Government. He said No, because i Grant should do so Ilayes would be bound by the decision of his predecessor, and would Dot bo at liberty to CHANGE OR DISREGARD IT. T replicd that I thought that would be about the best thing that could happen o have the recognition absolute by Graut, 50 as to zive no aption to Hayes, but to give him the question as an adjudicated question. He smd. * Noj that fs not the best way. It is the iutention to have the Nicholls Government recugnized.” ‘Ihen, either at the same time or in response to an_inquiry from me, he said lhe futention was to ve the Ilamptun Government recognized in South Carolina. His Ilanguase may have been, ** No; the Nicholls Government is to be recognized,” or “is to be abotished,” but I said to him I did not see how the Presi- dent could help recoznizing and sustaiuing the Packard Government when the Hayes Klectors Tiad been chosen by the aume votes und bad the sawe title. He said thut he bad been loukiug into that, and there was no dutliculty about it whatever; that be had uscertuined, w Returning Board canvassed the votes for Uresi- dential Electors, the votes for Governor were canvassed by the Leglslature, so that the Elect- ors and Governor . DERIVED THZIR TITLE FROM DIFFERENT souKces, 1 replied that all the returas were the refurns tabitsliéd by the Returntug Board, and there were uo other leval returns in the’ State, and that the Legisluture had canvassea the vote aud dezlared Packard elected {rom thuse returus. then suguested another difliculty, that if bolls and Hampton were recognized, two or three Democratie Seuators would be the resuit,” aud we would probably then Luve a Republican Admibistration coming into power with a Dem- ocratic Senate. He replied there would be no trouble about that; it would be or tmd been arranzed to have Republicun Senators frum thuse States. Q.—Did yon have any conversation with Senator Matthews after thut! A.—I suw him at Secretary Robesou’s the Tuesday befure the 4th of March, sud stated to him 1 thouzht PACKARD WOULD BE SACKIFICED by thut srrangement, and disseuted from that policy, stating emphiatically if Packard was not sustaitied would never maintafn the honesty of Huyes. Ewvarts, Garfivld, Kusson, aud Me- Cormick were present. Kussou tricd to justiy the policy, and Evarts sud Gurfleld said but little in assent or dissent. Witness subsequently called upon Gen, Gar- field, who told bitn of the couference ut Worm- ley’s fotel, the ubject of which, he stated, was to see if some arrangement could be made by which the Packard Government could be abau- doned, surrendered, or given up.
