C., Feb. 18.—If the fuvestl- gatlon of the ciphier plot accomplishes uothing else, it will clear up the doubt whicl has exist- ca in the minds ot many, sotne of them Repub- licans, as 1o the motlves thut influenced the Re- turning Boards of Florlda aud South Carolina in declaring the result of the clection of 1870 ns they did, and wiil vindleate them from even tue suspiclon of having been corrupted by the Re- publlcans. The vindiention of the Soutl Caro- lua Retarnlyz Bosrd was made complete to-dsy by the cross-examination of Gei 4. C. Duumy, who was a mem- ber of that body, The story he told was a stralghiforward one, und was not shaken by a searening cross-examination. The Demo- cratie theury that the Bonrd held tie count open until it was ascertained that MONEY COULD NOT HE RAISED, was destroyed by Gen, Dunu's testimony. The Board ndjourned when ita life expired by statu- tory ltntatton, and beforo Solomon had givon glven up the hope of getting the money, On his roturn be deseribed to Dunn the reception of the news in New York of the adjournment of the Board. The Democrats bad promlsed to get the money from Henry Havemeyer, but he had pone to Jersey City that tornlng ol waa to return at 2 o'dock. Bolomon sald: If the decislon bad been held *off til 2:30 o'clock the money would have becn forticom- ing, but before that tine Smith M. Weed rushed into the Everett Houee ln o state of great ex- citemunt, with a dispatch announcing that the Jlir was up, and that the Board had adjourncd. ‘Lhat was u dramatle scene, nnd mav well engzage the brush of the future historfeal paluter, TIHE TESTIMONT. To the Western Associated Press, WasiingTon, D. C., Feb., 18.~The Potter Committeo met to-day, and resumed the exami- natlon of Thowmas C. Duun, of the South Caro- Iina Returning Board. Il sald that Solomou represented thint there was an agent of Tilden fn Columbla (Stnlth Weed) for the purpose of using money, if needed, to secure the Electoral vote, Don't think it was possible to count in Chamberlatn and Tliden, thouch it was fmpos- sible to say what that count might do, Solomon wanted the Board to certify as the Court dl- reeted, Ho uever named a price. When he came, at firat, he sald he was outhorized to uso $100,000, Il necessary, Mr. MeMoton—Ilow many Electors were the Returning Board to give the 'Ilden partyi Did Mr. Bolomon gay? A.—Just us many as the Supreme Court shoutd order us tocertify, Q.—~The §100,000 had no temotation for yout A.—=Well, gir, T don't care to vatut my virtue, Q.—I slmply repeat my question, It had no temptation for yout A.—Not under these circumstances, Q.—Just explalu what those circumstances werel A.~—Well, $100,000 Is a pretty large sum, and lkely to influence unybody, but it was not. enough to [uduce me to botray the whole trust of the community, A Q.—How mnuch was Bolomon to got on this transaction for belg the go-botween? A.~Thot 8 for Mr. Solomon to answer. e never told me, Wo have been acquatnted for several years. i Q.—P'rlor to his ofering the $100,000, or en- gaging in this Httle scheme v corrupt your vir- tue, what was your opfulon of him, or would it have been altered by this propositfoni A.—I was not surprised ot his waking the proposition, beeause I way well acqua'uted with hlm, Q~—You knew what sort of a man he was, but you thought ho did not kuow what kind of aman vou wered A.—Welt, 1 think he had perhaps some hope T would accept when bo firat camo to me, but 1 qll(llg'l;llcd that hope at the very fi.st conver- sull . Q.=The relations botwecn you and Solomon are still fricndly, nd the effort to corrupt you bas made no change A.—Naot at ali, us far a8 3 om concerned, Mr, Springer—Weet says Solumon telo- graphed somc person lu” Columbis, stating ““that the goods could not be delivered, and that that eveniug he hiad read tflxe announcemout of the Board’s action,” A.—If dolomon telegraphed to that effect Wednesday mornlug then be must havs Hed to me. lie told me they wers negotlating for money, ud i€ wo would wait until Ilul?- past 2, when Heory Havennieyer would return from Jler:my City, "thes arrangement would bo com- plete, GEN. IARLOW, of New York, toll how he hnpm-ned to go to Floridu, 1o sald ho suw Dr. Cowelll after the Returning Board had adjourned, and safd to hiin he (wituess) did vot sce how they could fairly give tha Stote to e Huves Blecturs, und it ha wero in Cowglil's place he should feel It hiis duty to ¢lve the vote to the Tilden electors, Witness sald lie bield a thorouchly induvendent positlon, und could not be termed counset to the Republican party, althoush hoe wrote for them opinfons ‘upou puints of law, xnd did other Jegal work for thew, Mr, Hiscock produced a long report on the Ropublican side which was written by witneass for detivery bofore the Returning Board, Wit- uess admitted it was his hundwriting, but de- uied any further recollectlon of it He did uot A'i:&) any luconsistency fn beine counse! for both sldes.

The opponents of the Lill resfated its enactmont earncatly, Inalst- ing on a vote in the Sennto oo each amendment which bad heen discussed and agreed to in Com- mittee of the Whole, but they found themselves almost always {n the minority. An exception %as the voteon the amendment striking out the abolition of the tax on matehes which was (n the House L. This amendment was defeated by two majority. This would have deprived the Treasury of 2,700,000 per aunum, which ia TILE ANNUAL AMOUNT of tax paid by the manufacturers of -matches, who are oppused to the repeal, which would en- able men of small enpital to engage in the busi- uvess. - But by o Parllamentary dodge a verbal change was made In the amendment, which was thus eealn broueht before the Senate, and aureed -to by a vote of 33 yeas to 27 nays, Bo the House paragraph striking out the tax was not ngreed toby the Seoate, and the taxon matches renatng, The section of the Revlsed Statutes relative to the taxation of savinys banks was amended by striking out ull of the thirticth line und fu- eerting ““The deposits in associations or companies known as providest institutions, savings banks, savings fund, or savlngs institu- tions, recognized ns such hy the Inws Sof thelr respective States, shall be exemnt trom tax on 80 much of thelr deposits as they-bave invested in sceurittes of the United States, and on 82,000 of each deposit made In the nume of any one verson, firm, or corporation, snd the exemotions provided for i this scetion shall equally apply to savings deposits in all legally organized banks whatever.” This was strongly supported by Western men, and was submiited by Plumb. The bill passed—{8 yeas, 21 nays, IN TIE IIOUSE. THR CENEUS DILL. Sprelal Disvatch to The Tribune, Wasnixaroy, D. C., Feb, 18.~The House, after wasting nearly two liours ou questions of precedence, took up the Census bill, and de- voted the entire doy ecsslon to lts consideration, ‘Thls was not done untll ufter the Demoerats had made 8 yen und nay record vote agafust procecding with the avpropriation bills, This vote the Republicans considered somewhat sliz- niticant. The House dechled to tneet in evening session for the considerution of the Legislative Avpropriation bill, with the announcement, privately, that an adjournment should not bo bad until after the Lill Is passed. As this fs thy Uil 1o which the attempts will be made to at- fach the volitical amendments, members pre- vared themselves for the contest of an all- ufzht sesston. Mr. Cox, of New York, {n support of his Cen- sus bill, mude AN ELANORATE AND ELOQUENT SPRECH, which was full of learuing, The speech, indeed, In fi8elf #s & very complete history of the census in every country, from the Jewish census until now, ‘The machinery by which the census of 1850 was taken, he insisted, was catirely Inade. fuate for the burposes of the census of 1880, and lie partlcularly desired the passare of the novel feature of his bill which vests the appolutment of census-tukers iu the Governors of the States, Hemalutained that the States themselves were more interested [n this matter than the Federal Government. Gen. Garfleld, too, thought that the census of 1880 could not be taken with the cxisting machinery, but touk fssue with Cux on the question of the uppoiutment of Census Bupervisors, and maintaised that it would bo A VIOLATION OF A CONSTITUTIONAL I'ROVISION for the Federal authorlties to delegate this pow- er to the Governors of the States, 'The adop- tion of such a provision, he thought, would be futal to the bill, not enly un politieal grounds, but from the necessary lack of u centratized sys- tew which was perhaps the chief factor neces- sary o a successful prosceution of the woris, Gep, Butler opposed the portion of the bitl which vested the appotaent of censns officers In the Governors, aud advovated the centralized system under the control of & Federal oflleer, and be offered an amendment, apoarently more for the sake of making a svarp speech than with the expectation thut it would be passed, Ilo wanted to provide that the two politicat parties should be cqually represented, nid thought hat fo the Jost Massachusctts campalgn If he bad had a ceusus-taker in his Iuterest to net as political colporteur the result MONE UAVE BEEN DIFPERENT, Butler was put out by the suguestion of Frye, of Mafue, that the law agafust the distelbution of bad lterature might come Into operate against Gen. Butler's canvass with a census- szent, Butler wished to have the census-takers ap- poiuted as Bupervisors of Elecetfons ure, np- polut oue from the Republienn nud one from the Democratle party. Gen, Butler was em- barrassed to have Frye eall his attentlon to the fact thut he had left out the Greenbuck party. Butler's amendment was defeated,~but by only ong majority, the yens betug 00 amd nays97, An smendment providing that i€ o Governor of a State shall fall'to nake an appoeintment of Bupervlsor before April, 1880, then the Secre- tary of the luterfor shall moke the appoint- meut, was adopted. The Ltl goes over with the expectation on the port of e friends of the Senute bill that “dlu easuntlal features of that bill will be adopt- ed.
