WasmnaroN, D, C., Jan. 22.—The Polter Commitiee to-day held a long session at which the question of cxamining the witness St. Mar- tins md the cipher telegrams were discussed. Republicans apoear to be afraid of St Marting They bave hsd nothing to do with wetting him to make the affidavit that has been pubhshed, und they do not deeire to be In any \way reapon- sible for it or him, not knowing wlat turn his testimony might take when he I3 placed on the witness rtand. They ure not afraid that he can brinz discredit upon any Republican, becausc none of them have hiad anytalng to do with him, but if he should turn vut to be a see- ond Anderson the Reoublicons scem to thiuk thnt they might be as much embarrassed by having mada him thelrwitness as the Demo- crats of the Committea have been by calling the famous bight editor. When the subject was dropped tn the Cummittee to-day two resolu- tlous were pending, one offertd by Mr. Cox dirceting THAT ST. MARTINS BE CALLED and cross-examined on his aftldavit, and the other by Mr. Hiscock, providing that he ba called nnd nsked {f e has any. explanation of his aftidavit which hie designs to make, One of these resolutions wiil probably be adopted. After discusstng this matter st some length, the subject of the real frauds, which will peob- ably oceupy the attention of the Cominluter for the remainder of the scasion, was taken up. Mr. lHiscock eald that e had learned from Gen. Butler aml from out- side sources that what were cuppored to e the originals publishied {n the Tribune were in the General's pussession, misl he suggested, therefore, that it Gen. Butler was willing to de- liver them to the Committee, It wonld be wholly unnecessary to waste thue snd money i an In- quiry whose vbject should be to trace the dis- catehes from the possession of the telegraph compuuy to the New York 7rbune. Sach an tnquiry us that would mvolve the caling of w great number of witnesses, and adght result fu giving the Comnittee no more in- formatlon upon the questivns sought to be solved than could be obtained dircetly and Im- mediately. Gen., Batler safd that he was willlng to de- Huer tha dispatches he bal to the Committee, provided they would cause them all 1o be care- fully exomined nnd trauslated, He then gave A HISTORY OF THE CIFHRR DISPATCHES A8 far as e Koew ft. Some time last spring, he said, after the Potter investigation had been ordered by Coogress, he found n bundle of cipher telegrains upon his tablo one day. An examination of them disclosed the fuct that they related to the Electoral contro- versy of 1878, but he was unable to read them, Late In June he took the buudle to the com- mittee-rouin one day, and during the examina- tlon of Mr., Willlam E. Chondler he showed some of them to the witness, nmi asked him if those were the papers to which be hnd re- ferrod u bis testimony, After thus using them Gen. Butler sald thut be vave them to the clerk of the Committee, Mr. Linas, to keep for him, aud supposed until recently that they were in the possession of the clerk all summer, When he first returned to Washing- ton this winter he called upon Mr. Litna for the bundle of papers, und was surjrised to lesrn thist he did ot have theu, bat sutd that be bad BENT TUBM TO QEN. BUTLEY early last summer. ‘The General was positive that be hud not recetved them, and the clerk was cqually positive that they had been sont, aod for u time It Jooked ns if they were lost. At lemzth they wore found o (fen. Butler's uftice in this city, and {t turned out that Gen, Butler clther over- loolted them tast summer, or thut they reached his oflice after he left the elty, On recovering the dispatches, Gup, Butler sald that e hud sasted them up, and that he was ready to des Niver them over to the Committee on the condi- tions already given, Theteneral asserted, more positively 1f possible than in bis speech in the House yestenlay, that no coples of the dispatches had beco made stnce they came lito bis posses- ston, und he asked alr. IHiscock If be did not Knuw thut to be the fact, Mr. H. replied frankly that he nelleved, and thought his bellef was founded {n xnowleage, that what Gen. Butler sald was true, sud that NO COPIBS 1AD BEEN MADE of the cipher tclegrams since the Goneral ob- taluea possession of thew, TUIA POINT 18 SETTLED now, to the satisfaction of the Committee, and ought to be to everyboily elee. Gen, Butler did not givoe the cipher disgatches to the editor of the Zribune, nor was Lo reaponsible in any way for the coples the Tribune had, notwithstandiog the many sbsurd reports that were clreulated last autumin sbuut & barguin between Gion, Butler ond the Trdune, by which it was sa1d to have been sgreed that the latter would uot attack the former, or oppo=s him in his Marsschusetts cunpalen in cousidvias tlon of bis deliveriug over to tho Z'ribune the preclous bugdie of cryptogrums theu lu bis possession. Mr. Hiscock’s suggestion fu regard to the wanagement of the luvestigation scemed to be tacitly sccented by the Committee as Nxely to facilitute the fuquiry, und ft wus generally underétood, shouvh not fornally voted, before the Committee sdjourned, that the frst witoess to be summoned should be the geatlemen of the Tribune staff who transtated the dispatches that have been publishied. ‘Uhe purpose of he Comuaittce apparcutly is to place alt the origi- nals which Uen. Butler now has In the bands of theso gentlemon und request them to select thoss which they have alrcady transiated, und to INTERPRRT ANY OTUELS, i such there be. Bubpanus will probably be bs- s ? 'S L hins frequently becn sngwested recently that much of this luvestigation woald be conducted in New York to avold the cailing, of witnesses from that " ety to Washinuzton, 1t Is helleved that' Mr. Potter would prefer {o have this course atopted, provided lie himself was not a member of the Bub-Cummilttes to whom the foquiry in New York was committed.

Brage, of Wisconsin, a Democrat und loyal Unlon soldier, is =& most determined vppouent of Southern clafms, ilo took occaston to<lay to wroln asnauncee this opposition, and dig this in a manner which fired the Southicrn heart, and brought down the most vivlent denunciations upon his uead, The South {n the past has had nuo use for Northern Democrats, except to fure nish money for thelr compaigus, and to do thelr hiddivg ns doughfuces, ‘The Bouth tuat ruled in Congress beforu tho ar in the Southi rules there now ‘sud Jthe cx-slavery leaders are oa reatdy now, o3 they over were in the old planta~ tion duys to denounce overy object or to uppuse noything distinctively - rads feal, and to insist thut the Northern Democrats have no - nghts aud no optufons 80 long o there is o flourishing trade with the Bouth. Accondingly it was with in- dignation and surprisa that the Southern Detaos cruts to-day heard the great Southern cluitms system DENOQUNCED BY A NORTHEGN MAN. ‘They wers white with rage when Gen,, lBraze went further, and drew such a pleture of the desolstion of the War and of Southern loyalty to the Unfon ns the most radical of rodicals coutd have painted, und then chsrzed that Bouthern loyalty was & myth, that no war-claim snould be recognized, und that, deaplte the swagmer and bluster of the Democraey of the Boutl, {twas thne for the Northern Democrate to breuk looss frum the Holid South, If the Bolild South eant only 8 concentrated ruid upon the ‘Ireasury, Some of the more conservattve Northern Demo- crats fears] the outbreak that was fmpending, Filfs, Milts, Chalmers, Blackburn, and Hookee were upon thele feet, burnlng with wrath, Finslly Eden, of Dluols, a ypuny imfator of llolman, made his objectlon of soine servies to bls purty, and forced the debte tancose by calllng the attention of the Speak- ertathe fact thut the woraing hour had ex« plred.
