He favored the fullest in- vestigation and the punishment of the perpe- trators of the fraud if it was proven coneiu- vely that fraud had been committed. F ther than that he did not favor Foing, regard- ing the placing of President Hayes’ in’ the Executive Mansion a thing settled and not to be interferred with. In answer to the question by the reporter if the people of South Caroiina took the same view of the situation, the gentleman replied that as far as his obser- vation and knowledge of facts went, yes.

Developments Before Potter’s Com: mittee. After our report of the testimony of the wit- ness Levisee closed yesterday, he was interro- gated with reference to the Electoral returns of Louisiana filed with the Secretary of the .| Senate. One of the returns was handed wit- ness, and he was asked: “Js that your handwriting—look at it care- fully ; we want to be sure?” Witness, (emphatically.)—" No, sir; that 1s not my signature.” The poss in question were those obtained from the Secretary of the Senate, and were the returns of the electoral college of Louisiana. There were three sets of returns from that state—those of the Kellogg administration, the Nicholls administration, and the McEnery government. The papers submitted to wit- ness were the returns from the Hayes and Wheeler electors, with certificates that those pee were elected, etc., in the form required y law. At Mr, McMahon's request the witness marked the paper which he had just declared contained a forgery of his signature, so he might identify it. Q.—*Is this your sig tificate: ©, sir; that is not my signature : e is spelled correctly, but the Bis a imitation ; I write a good plain hand when my berves are quiet ; that writing on the inside is not mine either; I am sure of it; I never made a B like that.” Another one of the Hayes certificates was shown witness. He nined it, and said: ir; that is not my signature either. esitate to say that is not my hand- writing.

The clerk then read one of the returns, which was the regular certificate of an electo- ral college, giving ailthe details of the pro: ceedings with names of electors and result of vote; also having the certificate of the Secre- tary of State attached. After this the witness explained that three certificates were made out aud signed—one to be preserved in the reeords of the state, one to be sent to the President of the Senate by mail and the other senger. Speaking of the one on which h nized his signature as genuine, he said: “There ought to be two more to correspond with that having my signature; one should be in New Orleans and the other should have been sent tothe President of the Senat f any papers were gotten up later than Dec. 71 did not sign them; Ihave heard that there was some mistake in the papers, and that it never was asked to sign any w corrected pape - MeMahon.—* There is no other copy of that here: the copy with your signature by senger did not come. (Witness identified the postmark on the return signed by him as New Orleans, December sth.) The witness again examined two of the cer- tilicates, and declared that the signatures pur- porting to be his were not genuine. He was not in New Orleans on the 20th of Decemb when these certificates were signed in his name, “IT never knew any such papers were to he executed, and I never authorized any- body to sign my name. The signature is a bad attempt to imitate my handwriting: I do not think 1 could swear to th guature of either of the other electors, ept Gov. Kellogg shown the certificate]; I rather think that is is signature. The clerk of Secretary Gorham, the returns to the cominittee, was he testified that his name was J Kinney: he received ti the co i e ate, and sealed them large envelope; broke that seal in the committee room at the request of Chairman Potter; the papers be- fore him were the ones he brought; he had never permitted them to get out of his sight.” Mr. MeMahon.—*And I don’t want the gen- Heman, to ever let them get out of his sight, either.” The chair then called attention to the fact that Secretary Gorham had already testified that these were the original returns that went before the Electoral commission. THE LETTERS SURRENDERED BY HON. STANLEY _ | MATTHEWS ‘ to the investigating eommittee comprise the following: A letter dated New Orleans, March 27, 1877, in which Anderson says: ‘As soon as the com- mission is appointed please write me definite instructions. Nash will be here this week and will demand possession of that agreement, af- ter offering a (possibly) clerkship. Of course I shall decline. I shall inform him that it is in your possession.” A letter of May 5, 1877, from New Orleans, states that the President and Secretary Evarts had alleged in March that their reason for pot giving him a consulship was that it was their policy to make no removals simply to create yacaiicies, and yet since that time’ there had been one removal and several vacancies, two of them in places to which he Mi Ss anxious to #0. He now urges Matthe 0 give his ear- iest consideration tosecuring him the pos of a deputy collector in the New Orleans cus- icy ary of tom-hous: On M: from New Orleans, he in forms Ma that he had presented his letter to Gen, Anderson, who informed him that two of the deputies would be retained, and the third had been pro: ed. He then suggests an appraisership, with a consul a possible appointment sut sequen: says: “If anything is to be done foi hope it will be done quickly,” ay 1si7, he writes from Washingtoa that he cannot accept the position offered by 3 and is “disgusted with the whole June 2, 1877, he writes from Washington: “After my interview with the President yes- terday, and while thoroughly disgusted und disheartened, I met a gentleman who holds a responsible position here, and he assured me there was no intention on the part of the ad- ministration to provide for me. On the spur of the moment I sent a dispatch which I have since thought you may misconstrue. Do not understand nie as threatening you. I may have many bad Paltcs, but ingratitude is not one of them. | have thought of a plan by which the President can get rid of me without embarrassing himself. ‘hat is to give the appointment I ask to a gentleman whom I all designate. He is a Baltimore merchant of unimpeachable character, but a democrat. Tpresume, however, that would not interfere. i will suggest the matter to the President on mn jonday. June 6, 1877, he writes from Washington that a simultaneous attack had been made upon him by different newspapers, which he thus explains: “It seems certain anti-administra- tion republicans in Louisiana wrote to others here that I was In possession of documents damaging to the administration, and suggest- ing the manner in which I might be induced to use them; at the same time they would re- venge themselves on me. Their plan was to have the papers attack me in such a manner as to force the President to throw me over. This part of the programme has been carried out. At the same time they represented to me that the President bad no intention to do any- thing forme. I fell into the trap so far as to send you that telegiam. Their impression was that 1 would’ immediately proceed to throw mud for their edification. “I have told you on several oceasions that I had no desire to em. barrass either yourself or the President. I re. peat it, and as my appointment to anoiber cousulship would do so, [ have withdrawn my application and Suggested, another mode to the President by which I can be taken care of. Iwill be in Cincinnati ina few days, and ex. plain to you. T have spent all my own mone: and several hundred borrowed, iu a vain 41 tempt to ge? something from the government. 1 have undergone a strain that at times i thouvht would drive me mad. I shall make one more effort, and, failing in that, I shall give up the fighr.” The following letter from Anderson to Mat- thews differs in some respects from the dupli- cate of it already publishe “ Washington, June 19, 1877.—My Dear Sir: When any ward bummer, shoulder-hitter, &e., who can fill no other position, must be provid: ed for in any seaport city, he is given a posi- tion as inspector of cusioms.

This is what has been offered me,and what I have declined I propose to wait here until Saturday, and if my case is not settled by that day I shall take such steps as the occasion may require.” ‘Then comes the following: Se zresrury Department, June 25, 187 Dear Sir: Yours of 2d received, and Ihave seen Mr. Anderson, and he declines altogether to consider the place I offered him as adequate to his expectations or his desert.

Upto2p.m the Potter investigating com- mittee had not opened its doors, and Repre- sentative Blackburn, one of its members, at that hour, said it was quite probable that it would be an hour later before any witnesses would be examined, if, indeed, at all to-day. The committee has been sitting with closed doors during the day formulating the evidence already taken, and mapping out the course for further prosecuting its work. Senator Matthews has not yet replied to the invitation to appear before it. Hayes, son of the President, was in the hall outside the committee room a few minutes this morning. The Florida Inquiry.

The Brewers’ Congress. RESOLUTIONS ON THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION, ETC, ADOPTED. The eighteenth congress of the United States Brewers’ Association closed its business ses- sions in Baltimore yesterday, aud adjourned to meet in St. Louis on the first Wednesday in June, 1879. Resolutions were adopted urging upon the administration the passage of wise, just and equitable laws for the condueting of the brewing industry, and pledging the asso- ciation to assist the government in the pre- vention of fraud. ae tender thanks to Com- missioner Raum for his courte: The pre- amble of these resolutions recites that the annually to the internal revenue of the coun- try, which is collected with less trouble or ex pense and paid more faithfully than any other ta Resolutions on the temperance question were passed, the preamble of which alleges that “‘the temperance factions in various states are still pursuing their usual course of illiber- ality, fanaticism and bigotry, continuing to annoy and malign the brewing business, and, taking advantage of certain excise, prohi bitionary and licensing laws in existence have sought by every means to hamper, retard and damage the business of brewers and that of their customers.” The resolutions ur; that, for the information of those ignorant of the truth in the matter, the press be encouraged to represent the brewing interests fairly, and “hat such Influence as the trade can honestly exercise at the polls be used in the election of independent representatives, who will con- seientiously maintain their opinions irrespec- tive of partisan influence or political jobbery.” LOUIS SCHADE, of Washington, D. C., attorney for the con- gress,submitted his report, giving a statement of the most loporsant decisions of the govern- ment during the year on questions relating to the interests of the association. He says:— “The internal revenue tax-payers have been frequently harasved and prosecuted on account of mere hnical violations of the internal revenue laws without any intention on their part of defrauding the revenue nor causing any loss thereby to the government.” GENERAL RAUM. Addresses were delivered by Gen. Raum, commissioner of internal revenue ; Collector Proud, of Baltimore, and others. A committee was appointed to present the Canadian malt question to Congress. Last night the delegates were entertained at a grand banquet. TAMMANY OPPOSED TO ANY ATTACK ON THE PRESIDENT’S TITLE.—At a meeting of the Tammany Hall general committee last night, Mr, Henry L. Clinton delivered an address, in which he declared that the criminals gulity electoral frauds should be punished ; that New York had greatest cause to complain of the manner in which her candidate had been de- prived of the Presidency, to which he was oy elected, but at the same time Tammany ‘all. nation, opposed any attack upon the Presi- dential title as dangerous to our institytions and fruitless in its results. In conclusion, he said the question of title of Hayes to the Pres- idential office for four years from 4th March. , Was decided by the supreme tribunal 0! the nation, the court of last resort. There is no appeal except to the ballot-box in 18830 The address was received sina eat applause and then adopted as the expression of the views of the Tammany Hall general committee.

Mr. Kelley said he would be sem of nothing except what related to and al acter, in allusions made in a speech publis red in this morning’s Record, but which was | hever delivered on the floor of the House. | , Mr. Wood hoped the gentleman would have i | ected his char the largest latitude. Mr, Eden suggested that the gentleman could ca his reply, Ir. Wood had done. M elley preferred to speak when he could he corrected if he committed an error, and as the gentleman from New York had indulged in pe ities in his printed speech, he mish feel impelled to do the same thing. Mr. Conger said that if aligentiemen who had been disappointed could claim the right to make personal explanations, this thing would be interminable. He had himself been disappointed. and he thought the gentleman from New York hada right to be disappoiated at the fate of bis bill. {Laughter Mr. Kelley then sent up and had r first extract in Mr. Wood's printed which he complained. hi rbled d the h. of This was acharge tha sentence of Wood's speeei, ' is.

Kelley said he had struck out the words in the interest of economy. It was b simply tautology to insert the w time,” and he did not suppose the any complaint of their omission.

Nor did J. S.Moore deuy that such a meeting was held. He would therefore leave it tor the gen Uenan from New York to settle with the per- sons who had informed him otherwise. ‘The third and last extract had reference to the meetings of the committee: the consider: ation of the bill, and in which Mr. Kelley was charged with unfairness in misrepresenting the committee. In reply to this, Mr. Kelley said that if the gentleman had delivered his speech he wouid hot have been permitted to disclose what took place in the committee room. He (Kelley) ad attended all the meetings when tariff mat- ters were under consideration, although he in ill-health. Again, it was asserted that this bill was prepared hy a sub-committee and submitted to the full committee, He (i y) denied it. No such bili ever eame trom a sub- committee. He denied that the sub-commit- tee on tariff ever had a meeting. It was so dist Mr. Wood's bill that he called inetly Mr u*my | He (Kelley) had in good faith tried to fect the bill, but the chairman objected, ause it Would affect the harmony of “my bil,” and all the efforts at amendment were resisted to such an exient tha | he reminded the chairman that | best who laughs last.” He aiso denied with emphasis the statement of Mr. Wood, that representatives of th and agricultural intere: : y th committe. If he (Kelley) happe be bette: | instructed in the details of the bill than the chairman was, it was because when the repre- sentatives of these interests were turned away from the door of the committee room, they came to his sick room and by his bedside explained the details of the bill. If these entiemen had been heard the gentleman rom New York would have slepi betier night before last; and he would not have been guilly of the indecency of slipping into tse ecord a series of assaults upon a fellow member of this House and of the ways acd means commitiee. Mr. Wood said the personal explanation of the gentleman was not so much a personal ex- planation asit was adefence. He had made some points against a speech which he (Wood) had been compelled to print in the Record, because the opportunity to speak had not been accorded + If the four hours which he asked had been allowed he would have said orally what he had printed and much more. It was the first time he had ever asked leave to print a speech, but when he was denied the poor privilege of replying to the misrepresen- tations of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, he had no alternative. The gentleman ex: cuses himself for garbling his (Wood's) re- marks by leaving out certain words, on the ground ‘of economy. This great economist thinks it economy to strike out two important words, while he votes for every great exirava- | gance that comes up, He insisted that the gentleman garbled his speech. With refer | ence to the Chamber of Coramerce meeting at New York he had the authority of the officers of the chamber lor the statement that nosuch meeting was held, and that the taritl bill was not considered by them. The gentleman goes ‘on to palliate and excuse his defective meio. ry by saying he was sick. He says he was on asi bed, and that people called upon him tuere with reference to the tariff bill. With all kindness to the gentleman, and fully syin- pathizing with him in his aftliction, he would say that the gentleman is in that physical cou- | dition which scarcely makes him a responsib e | member of this House. (Laughter.) Mr. Atkins, from committee on appropria- tions, reported the sundry civil appropriation Dill, and gave notice that he would eall it up at the earliest practicable moment. Referred to committee of the whole. Mr. Bright moved to go into committee of the whole and take up the printed calendar. Mr. Blount antagouized that witn a motion to go into committee on the deficiency ap- propriation bill. The latter motion was agreed to, and the House accordingly went into committee, Mr. Beebe in the chair. Mr. Chalmers made a pro forma amend- ment, and was about to reply to Mr. Herbert's speech Yesterday opposing the Texas Paeitie railroad bill; when Mr. Hale made a pat of order, and objected te the discussion of anything that was not ger- mane to the bill. He wanted to get it through to-day, and he objected to members discussing anything except the Pacific railroads, the deluge, or revolutionary claims, or anything except what was in the bill. The aoe of order was sustained. Eighteen pages of the bill were passed over without materia] amendment, until the items relating to navy deticiencies were reached. | ARcTIC EXPLORATION.—Mr. Bennett's new urchase, the Pandora, re-christened the | Jeanette, isnot intended for Aretic explora- tion via be garde this year, but for a voy- | age throug!: Behring Strait in 1879.

It is even said that some na- lives attempted to reach this “No Mau’s Land,” but, as_ might be expected, never re- turned to tell the tale. ellett, however, caught glimpses of it in 1849, and in 1867 sev" eral American whalers approached within 2) miles of it. but could not land on account of the broken ice.
