THE POTTER INVESTIGATION. Testimony the Pacn 4 to the Downfall of After our report of the proceedings before the Potter committee at Atlantie City closed yesierday, the testimony of ex-Congressman Morey was continued. General Butler obtained from the witness an a.seriion of his opinion that the Harlan- MacVeagh commission bargained with the mob for the destruction of the rightful gov- ernment of Packard. Mr. Morey recounted the old story of the secessions of members of the Packard legislature to the Nichols legis- lature, and said there were rumors of briber, being used, and the commission was suppose to mean to overturn the Packard government. Q. Was it rumored tha: while the democrats were engayed in bribing republican m2mbers of the Packard legislature they were egging on the commissioners who were paid in o! for their services. A. 1 don’t. Know anything about the commissicners being egged on or what spectal part they took, butit was the general understanding, and was felt by those who believed that Packard was elected, that their mission particularly was to destroy the Packard government and to establish that of Nichols; that the troops were to be withdrawn us a part of the scheme, after the Packard government had been deprived of their courts and court buildings, police and state arms. The White League was sworn in as Nichols milit The republicans were dispirited, and labored in every honorable «way to have the validity of the Packard government examincd by the commissioners, and to provide means stence of the adherents of the ackard legislature, who were. very p They remained with it longer than could be reasonably expected under the circumstances, and as long, if not longer, thin white men would do in any state of the Union under mstances and inthe face of the ee of temptation from the opposite i} Butler.—I wish bo distinctly to iad ic is not them blame.

Miore of Major Burke's Testimony Before the Sub-Committee. The Associated Press, In a dispateh from New Orleans, gives additional particulars of the testimony of Major E. A. Burke. The fol- lowing telegrams were submitted: _ “ WASHINGTO: . Coy Feb. 27, 1377.—To F, T. Nicholls, New Orleans: Confined subject of telegram last night to legislative caucus. For Present at promptly.

He reiterated his former declaration as to the propriety of your govern- ment prevailing in Louisiana, and authorized the gentleman to communicate this informa- tion to us. Levy, ELLIs, BURKE. They subsequently telegraphed Gov. Nich- olls that Stan! oy Mates was their inform- ant, Major Burke produced another dispatch to Gov. Nicholls. stating that the fillibustering movement was originated by the Louisiana party independent of the original opponents of the count, after the parcy caucus had failed to make a movement, and was hopelessly de- moralized. Their leaders had no definite pol- icy except the prospect of anarchy. Witness said that after the-interview with Stanley Matthews on the 27th aay of February,the sub- stance was given to the Associated Press. There was no bargain. Major Burke read sey- eral other dispatches to Gov. Nicholls stating that Pre sident Grant bad assured him that af- ter the completion of the electoral count the military would be withdrawn from any inter- ference with the political affairs of Louisiana. Also that Mr, Hayes had approved of the guar- antees given by Matthews and others at the Woriniey hotel conte’ Vitnessthen pro- a dispatch to Sta V y ML March 2, 1877, sta ug organtz ed in New Kard as a last de: nition.

Witness, after this eaycus, called upon Mr. Hewitt and asked him ‘wh: the democratic party had abandoned Louisi- ana. Mr. Hewitt said there was no occasion for a charge of that kind, and it was then too late to discuss the question. — Witness said the democrats of Louisiana were forced either to trade or fight for their state government, and there was danger of plunging the country into revolution. Mr. Hewitt replied that the democratic party could not take the responsibility of plunging the country into anarchy and strife and upset- ting values and disturbing trade. They had determined to put the xesponsibility cf this ont fraud fairly and squarely’ on the shoulders of the republican party and go before the people four years hence. Witness replied that was all very well for him: he might endure it four years, but the Rronle of Louisiana could not, and he desired r. Hewitt and his associates to understand that if they thought they could have peace and gale. in the country with Louisiana and South “arolina under carpet-bag rule they made a Teat mistake. The people of Louisiana were as loyal as any other, but they were determ- ined to submit no longer to ¢arpet-big rule, aud would defend their siate government at all hazards. . Wanted Mr. Hewitt to go to his associates and say to them, with the same consistency yoted for the electoral bill, to save un from anarchy, they would make a condition that the bayonets be taken away from Louisiana and South Carolina, else the anarchy and strife which they sought to avoid would surely foliow. Mr. He’ assured him of the sympathy of his associates and himself for the people of Louisiana and South Caro- lina, and that they would do ali they could for those states. Witness went on to say that he had called on Members of the House to oppose the count, and they stated that they haa received letters from their constituents not to oppose the count, and that they dare not take the respon- sibility of oP posing it, Shougi they were anx- ious aud willing to serve Louisiana, and if they thonght Ener could do so by going in and forcing, the republican leaders to give guaran. tees, they would do so. Dany representatives were acting at witness’ solicitation, and we re impressed with the belief that if bayonet rule was hot withdrawn from Lousiana and South Carolina 'y and strife would result. Of course others were from different mo- tives, and had count from the commencem: in regard to Louisiana and Saute the pusber wae pweled Wy 115 ab ong Gg Ht was then that Mr. Sherman sent for him, and at this period the conferences were held. He Was satisficd there were sufficient members in the House to go in to oppose the count simply to get these guarantees, and after these were secured they would cease their opposition and allow the count _to go through to a peaceful determination. The subsequent events showed that his calculation in this respect was correct. Congressman. Ellis testifled at considerable length as tothe conference at Wormley’s Hotel and other matters which have already been published. The committee adjourned to mcet subject to the call of the chairman, and the members and attaches left last evening for the North. Washington a Splendid Metropolis. THE CAPITAL WELL SITUATED AND A DESIRA- BLE PLACE TO LIVE IN. If the absurd idea of removing the national Capital to St. Louis had not already been ex- ploded, it would have meltcd down in the re- cent heated term, during which that city has more than sustained its reputation as the hot- est in the country; and not only the most un- comfortable, but the most dangerously and fatally hot. The project of establishing the Ex: cutive departments, and of Congress meet- ing in that torrid temperature, would deter even the ambition of statesmanship and the ereed of oMec-seeking. The famous deelara- «on of Jefferson touching the office-holders, that ‘few die and none resign,” would be contradicted, for many would die and imulti- tudes of the survivors would resign rather than endure a summer in St. Louis. "The con- test over the original site of the Capital pro. duced a serious crisis in the young republic. The selection was, on the’ whole, wisel made. ate of Washington, al- though ssively hot in the sum- mer months, although subject to malarial influences, which will gradually dis- ppear, is a healthy one. Considering the umber of people gathéred there from all parts of the country many of them without their famii, and niany of them compelled to greatly change their order and habits of life, and considering also the badly ventilated hall: s, the sickness and mortality are less than might be expected. ‘The vast my: ments of the government in publie building: Which vie in splendor with the stateliest edi! fics of European canitals, would of it jcient to retain the seat of govern where {€ was origin fixed. As the city grows in maznitade i , the dom of the fathe in its peculiar itying out is vindicated. It used to be Taughed at as “the city of magnificent distances ;” but these dis- tances are fast filling up with super buildings, pub. nd private, while the open spaces ot refreshing green, at the angular inte! sections of the sireets, and the squares and cireles reserved for public use, add im- mensely to the beauty of the city. Many of th: se are adorned with statutes in bronze and marble ; and other works of art eommemora-, tive of great events and great men in our hi tory are projected. The scientific and iiterary attractions of the Congressional Library, the Smithsonian, the Observatory, the Coast ‘Sur- vey, draw and detain many visitors, while the Art Gallery, founded by the munificence of Mr. Corcoran, contains one of the finest col- lections in the country. Altogether, Washing- ton, in its transition from a straggling, over- grown village to a splendid metropolis, has be- come a desirable piace to live in, apart from its political character and the traditions that cluster around it, and the American ple would not consent to its removal; and if they would, they could never agree upon the new lucation. Even if any state would cede exclu- sive jurisdiction over a large city, the oppo- nents of any one location would outnumber the friends of a removal. The Capital is very well situated, and is perfectly safe where it is. [Providence Journa HOPELESS MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS. — A special dispatch to the Sc. Paul, Minn., July democratic Congressional convention, held at Owatonna to-day, was thinly attended on ac- count of the nope essness of eleciing the can- didate chosen.

FLOOD IN CuicaGo.—Four inches of rain fell in Chicago on Thursday night and oc- casioned Pes. damage to property by the flooding of basements. A strong east wind Was blowing and forced the water in the lake high up on the western shore, thereby pre- venting the sewers and drains from discharg- ing their contents into the lake, and thus causing the flooding of the basements. IN THE BRITISH HOUSE OF LoxDs last night, the Marquis of Salisbury, replying. to a ques- tion, entered upon a general defense of the zovernment’s policy in concluding the Anglo ussian agreement, which was intended to prevent a war in the event of the failure of the congress, and not to tie the hands of the government during the discussions. He de- clared the government was under no engage- ments for-the future except those which had been presented before the house. It had never promised Greece e of terri- tory. YELLOW FEVER at VicksBUKG —There is great excitement at Vicksburg, Miss., caused by exaggerated reports of the prevalence of yellow fever there. The city phy a passing towboat put off two cases on Wednesday, one of them dying during the night at the Marine Hospital. The other died yesterday. Another man, who died on the same boat, was buried at Vicksburg. The boat, the John Porter, en route for Pittsburg. was thoroughly disinfected, and energetic e! forts are being made to disinfect Vicksbur; Mobile, Pensacola and Savannah declare quar antine against New Orleans. Hon. BENJAMIN G. Harris, of St. Mary’s county, has published a letter in whiéh he says the mention of his name, both oral and written, in connection with the congres- sional nomination for the fifth district are highly gratifying, to him, and says his naine is at the service of his friends. He repeats his reviously expressed opposition to the four- eenth and fifteenth amendments to the con- stitution of the United States, which he says have not been adopted. Mr. Harris says as a citizen he has never Supported them, and would not as a representative of the people, “because they were made in a mode directly in conflict with the constitution.” SITTING BULL'S INTENTIONS.—A letter has been received at military headquarters in Chicago from Captain Dougherty at Crow creek, who has information by messenger from Sitting Bull's gaimp that the red face chieftain was in the British possessions about a month ago, but was contemplating. a raid south of the line and of returning to Montana this season. Sitting Bull sends reproachful messages to the American Indians and a sug- gestion of closer alliance. . THE NEBRASKA REPUBLIC. dispatch to the New York 7imes from Omalia, Neb., says: “The Republican State Central committee has called a convention to meet on October 1. It will cot ( of 308 delegates, the largest ever held in this state. The opponents of the renomination of Congressman Welch favored an earlier date and certain changes in the order of the call, but they were beaten on every hand. One reason why the conven- tion was fixed for so late as October was be cause it was believed to be easier than to se. lect a financial plank for the platform. Welch has a hard fight on hand, but favorable re- orts as to his coudtaney Sentinns to come in rom all parts of the state.
