THE riGutT over the post otfice at New Lon- don, Ct., Which has been going on for the pa: six months, was to-day settled by the Presi- dent, who appointed W. H. Tubbs to that office. Mrs. Betsey A. Mowers,whom Tubbs succeeds as post rT, is the widow of Gen. Mowers, who was killed under Grant during the war. She has held the position for the lasi eight years, and would have been again reappointed { she could have secured bondsmen. This she was unable to do, ualess she wou!d dismiss Mr, Tubbs. who was her chief clerk, and a ga! lant soldier during the war. She would not consent to this. Tubbs being able to procure bondsmen the President has appointed him postmaster. Mr. Tubbs will appoint Mrs. Mowers to be iis chief clerk, and thus the whole matter is settled.

WovuLp Be Derectives.—It is surprising since the hot weather set in here how many self-constituted detectives there are who feel it incumbent upon themselves to offer their services to the government for a trip to E rope for the ostensible purpose of discovering the villains Who passed upon unsuspecting emigrants about to sail for this country coun: terfeit United States national bank notes. When it is known that the villains are in the eustody of the Austrian government, and are probably by this time serving that country in he penitentiary, such a pursuit as that above referred to would seem to be love’s labor lost This is only one of the many ways by which miaby eminent politicians are seeking to dead- head their way to Europe and to the Paris ex- position.

After cur report of the proceedings before the Potter Investigating Committee closed yesterday, the examination of Senatcr Kellogg was continued by Gen. Butler, as follows: Q. Do you not know that after the MeVeagh commission had disposed of the Packard legis- lature Gov. Packard threatened to appeal to the Supreme Court? A. Yes, sir, he would haye submitted his claims if he could. But Nichols had thrust it out. After Packard had threatened to appeal to the Supreme Court to determine the iegality of his election, did not President Hayes destroy the quorum of that court by fe ointing Mr. King collector? A. The fact of his appointing him collector and his taking the oath of office did destroy the court, on the ground that the taking of one office is a virtual and legal sur- render of the other. * Q. Then what Nichols did by force President Hayes confirmed by appointing him collector? Was this the same Mr. King who, after he had been in office a little while and the court was destroyed had his name withdrawn and his nomination not acted upon by the Senate? A. He is the same man, Q. Then against the wish of repnt licans of Louisiana this man, being one of th: iegal su- preme judges required to make a legal quo- rum, was appointed to this office? A. Yes, sir. Q. Aud Mr. P. H. Morgan, who was one of the judges who held over, was appointed by the President to be judge of aa international court in Africa. ‘as he not translated into that position? A. I believe he was appointed to such a position? | Q. And just about that time, was it not? A. It was about May of last year, I think. Q. Then, whe Mr. Morgan and King had been appointed Packard bad uot much show with the Nicholls judges, had he? A. No, Tdon’t think he had." = Q. I want to you in all solemnity this: Do you believe, from your knowledga of what took place, there Was auy other reason for ap- pointing Mr. King collector than to get him out of that court, so that Packard would not THE POTTER INVESTIGATION. | in have his r ed by a legal court? . ‘Mr. Hise ommenced to make objections to the question, when the witness answered that he as to the matter referved ould not Say a to, whereupon Mr. Hiscock withdrew bis ob- Jection to the question. Mr, Butler, The objection being withdrawn, I witinow ask you if you do not believe that to be the fact? State whether you believe it or ni Mr. Hiscock. I object to tha Mr, Putler—After an objection bas been Withdrawn it cannot be renewed, I believe. ¢ J] However, I will state my reasons for putting the question. A commission was sent down to New Orleans called the Me. Veagh-Harlan commission, to get another le- uislature to take the place of the Packard legisiature. The witness has testified, and there has been testimony here tending toshow that under these influences the Packird legis- lature went over to the Nicholls lemisiature. it has been testificd to that Mr. Packard threatened to appeal to the courts for redress, he evidently thinking he had a right to ap; to the Supreme Court; that the Supren that had any validity was the one compo in its majority of Judges Ludeling, King Leonard, and they were all republicans; that the fact of the existence of that court troubled the opposition, meaning thereby the Nicholls government, more than any other fact, and under these circumstances Mr. King was made collector, The appointment disorganized the court, but as an evidence that he was not taken for that reason, as soon as the court was dis- organized, and before the Senate could pass | upon his appointment as collector, his name | was withdiawn by the same executive who appointed him. Now, under these circum stances, I propose to ask this witness (who knows that while King made a good judge he Was no more fit to be collector than a sieve | would be for a water pail) if he does not be- lieve the reason of the appointment of Mr. ing was substantially for the purpose of court. I think the question question. br is per inent. ir. Hiscock replied that the statement was predicated on the fact that the Nichols gov- ernment Was afraid of this cou:t, a court tha” bed not the power to execute processes, whil+ at the same time Nichoils, having a quorum of the se could terminate the court at any time by appointin: nen to their places. If+ thought it was hardly competent for any on to swear as to what influenced the Presiden in making such ap Appolnineas, or what operated on the mind of Goy. Nicholls in bi action in the matter. : By Mr. Butler:—Q. I will ask you, then, i/ ‘ou know on whose recommendation Mr. King was appointed? A. [think he was ap: pointed on the recommendation of Thomas C. Anderson, and I recommended himalso. That the President did or did not appoint Mr. King with reference to his connection with this court, I cannot of course say, and, above ail, he was an old-line whig. [Laughter.} . Q. Did Boulds Baker recommend him? (Laughter.] A. Ishould not be surprised if such was the case. He had been a member of the legislature for a number of years, and I recommended him on the ground of his being an old resident and an old-line whig. Q. Do you know who recommended Judge Morgan to the position he obtained? A. I think he was appointed by Mr. Evarts upon his own motion. Q. Was not the question mooted about Gov. Packard’s appealing to the supreme cour. be- fore the court was broken up? A. I think thé matter had been discussed by himself and friends before that. Q. Do you remember whether Mr. King’s Dame was withdrawn about the time that Boulds Baker returned from Texas? [Laugh- ter.] A. I do not think his name was ever sentin. There was an extra session of the senate afterwards, and Mr. Lawrence’s name ‘as sent in for collector. It was said that Mr. King declined at the last moment, in order to relieve the President of all embarrassment, but not, I think, until it was understood that he would not be re-appointed. To-day’s Proceedings. The Potier committee met to-day at 11:10 o'clock, when SENATOR K 3 OGG WAS CALLED and examined b nm. Buller. He said that he was not in New Orleans when the MeVeasi: commission was in Louisiana. He thought that had Gen. Grant continued as President and 1ecognized Packard and his administra- tion as he had him (Kellogg) there would have been no difficulty in Packard maintaining his overnment; the Nicholls goverament would ave met and claimed de jure authority until it Was ascertained who was President—Hayes or Tilden. The opposition knew that there was to be a scrutiny when Haye} came in, and that emboldened them: although. even then. if Hayes had recognized Packard, after his inauguration, to be the legal governor of Louisiana, in some firm and unmistakable manner, he could have maintained himself, because the people of Louisiana, knowing that Hayes’ and Packard’s titles were ideuti- cal, would have acquiesced in the decision, and they would have gotten what they could: “My opinion is that there would have been some such similar compromise as the Wheeler adjustment.” Q. If President Hayes had telegraphed to Packard, “You were elected by the sime parishes and precincts Bees which the Presi- ential electors were, and by the same return. ing board,” would Packard have had any dili- culty to maintain his government? The witness answered that he thought vot, THE SHERMAN LETTER. Witness said that he first heard of the Sher- man letter, asa matter of rumor, about a year ago; first heard it from any person claimed to know about it, in the fail of 15 heard that it had been found among the e of the dead man Weber, and that Mrs, Jen by reason of ner intimacy with the We! family, had become possessed of the !=ttei Subsequentiy heard the statement that the Weber letter had been written, and it was a matter of discussion and scandal in New Or- leans ; ‘in November last received a letter from Mrs. Jenks asking me to use my good oltices to get her brother in the custom house; in th: letter she intimated that there was a docu- ment in existence, which some people were after, which she knew of;” in reply, witne:.s among other things, asked if the document spoken of was “the much-talked-of letter.” Subsequently Mrs. Jenks called upon witnes at the St. Charles hotel in New Orieans; she Lae him the impression that there was a herman letter, aud she gave him also the im Pression that she had seen it, and kuew where it was: witness _to'd her she had betie> show it to Mr. Packard, as witness didn’t care to be mixed up in it; she gave witness an out- line of the letter; said it wasn’t very damag- ing, such a letter as_@ politician would write; at the time she held a letter in her hand, say: ing it was a copy, but that the control of {is sabsequeatly sree ere as mtrol of it; subsequent @ called upon Packard; he didn’t seem hor did witness to to Paekard because witness dide't have tis ny we time to go into the matter, and didn’t care to, be- cause it was a matter of some scandal.

Before the Potter sub-committee yesterday in New Orleans, Hiram Smedley testitied th. he saw the name of D. A. Weber si AtdersoneWeber agreement by G. W. a notary pub! in the back room of witnes coffee-house. Jones spent most of his tine about the coffee-house, and had the Fepatation of signing other people's names and fixing up crooked papers. To the best of witness’ knowledge and belief, Dix and Wilder in cer- tifying that Weber's name was sigued to the paper at the date given they certilied to a laisehood. Witness also told Seymour a few days ago that he (Seymour) knéw his certifi- caie Was untrue. WEBER IN A TIGHT PLACE. E. L, Weber was examined at jength by Mr Cox. He admitted he had been indicted, for- feited his bond, and afterward at the sugges. tion of a district attorney, made a false afliday- it in order to have the bond restored. Weber Was on the stand three hours under Mr. Cox’s cruss-examination. He several times became very much excited and accused Mr. Cox of browbeating him, and appealed to the commi:- tee for protection.
