Washington;- Miron‘2r—Oil Saturday
the chairman of ths Potter Investigating
Committee anfcptftfc&tae report which ho
had prepared, to -<ha committee, and it:
wai aflopted.by a vote, of six Democrats
to IDreo Republican's, Butler beiog absent.
Thethree Republicans present were Hia-
coek, Cox and Reed. rhiy'wiU prepare
a minority report. Butler will draw -up
a separate statement, giving his views in
reference to-lbe bargain-with tho Hayes
patty, by whioh tho U^mooiats rcooveraa
the Suic-a of South Carolina and Louis
iana.
Mr. Slenger, a D.mocratio mem
ber of tbs committee, who was chairman
of the sub-committee which sat in Louis
iana, hss also piepareda report.
Potter’s repor; is neoassarily long, as it
deals with all tho points that have been
before the oouimitte, except tho cipher
diepatobei>, which will be made tho sub
ject of a separate report, and presented to
the committee to-morrow.
Mr. Potter’s repart is regarded by the
Democrats, who have perused it, tm sin-
golerly impaitialand judicial. It is en
tirely devoid both of rhetorical orna
mentation and vituperative denunciation,
end derives its force solely from a close
logical deduction of facts presented to the
committee.
Some of the Democrats regard it as
wanting in color—not so strongly ex
pressed as the foots warrant, and it is
not unlikely that come member of the
committee belonging to the party will
present an additional expression of their
views more vigorously.
The report opens with an introduction
which sets forth what it was proper for
Congress to investigate and what not;
and what is the difficulty of oondactiog
an investigation into conspiracies which
have been successfully carried oat, while
the successful party remains in power.
It admits that the confoseion of the
conspirators who have become^ dissatis
fied is worth little, bat points to the
facts not generally understood that about
the essential features of the^leotion and
canvass in Florida and Louisiana, there is
no substantial dispute before the com
mittee—the Republicans having called
no witnesses in Florida at all, and few
in Louisiana, except as to the conduct of
(he visiting statesmen and incidentally
about intimidation.
It dismisses entirely the testimony of
Anderson, Jenks, Mrs. Jenke, Weber and
that class or witnesses, and deals with
the case upon the general end controll
ing facts alone.
The report is divided into three parts,
the first of which refers to Florida, the
cecond to Louisiana and the third to the
alleged ferged electoral certificate.
Beginning with Florida it citea the law
directing the electors to be appointed
by the votes cist and the canvassing
board to canvass tho votes cast and
claims that the Tildcn electors having
received a majority of votes cast in this
State were thereby necessarily entitled to
be declared elected and that the canvass
ing board, by rejecting without warrant
of law a portion of the votes, so as to
•how the majority for Hayes, unlawfully
counted Tildcn out.
The canvassing board, it recites, de
layed this announcement until the morn
ing of the day on which the electors
wero to meet and vote, so that, although
action was instantly taken to oust the
Hayes electors by the Tilden electors, no
decision could be bad until tho Hayes
electors had met that same day at noon
and voted.
* e E 0r t then recites the judgment
« ‘he oapiesae Court which subsequently
decided that the Hayes electors were not
elected nor entitled to vote fsr tho State
and that the Tilden electors tetre; and also
the judgment of the court in the action
brought be Drew, the Democratic candi
date for Governor, to obtain a re-canvas j,
whsro the court directed a re-oanvass and
decided that the Returning Board, in re-
tnazng to count the Totes cast, had de
manded Drew and unlawfully seated
Stearns.
The Legislature of the Slate thereupon
directed a recanvaes of the electoral vote
•n accordance with this decision of the
bnpiemo Court, the judges of which
were Republicans, and the recanvaBs
*“0W6d the Tilden electors chosen. The
UOTcrnor then issuod hia certificate to the
ib r? e ^ eclora M the true electors, bnt
the Electoral Commission refused to con
sider the judgment of the Court. The
action of the legislature and the certifi-
f ato Riven by the Governor in favor of
tee Tilden electors, and held that it could
hot take notice of any action by the State
the cth of Deoember.
ii, i 0 r6 P° rfc d rawa attention to the fact
that such a wrong might be repeated in
eny state at any Presidential election by
the canvassers withholding their an
nouncement of the result of the. election
until the day fixed for the meeting of the
electoral college, and then to declare per
sons who had never been voted for at all
to be elector?, when according to this de
cision they would be entitled irrevocably
to oast tha vote of the State.
It therefore recommends a law provid
ing that where Ihero wan dispute as to
who were the real electors the jodg-
1 ccurt c-f Jait reeort, if certi- me pjp r aua printing to resemble me
i-oogrcss before the mooting of 1 one previously made—how ttey had vary
the two houses of Congress to receive
and oenat the, electoral•’vote, shall be
conclusive as to the right bf the disput
ing electors, and of which vote from the
State shall be counted, unless the two
to ases of Congress shall otherwise agree.
The report then argnea that tho action
of the canvassing board was not only 'illei _ rr
gal bat frauduleut.and cites the iustaiMSee 8ena,e building, in chargs ot Oonqnsst
’ytr 1
little time to prepare it, and how it was
impossible to get all the electors in New
Orleans to sign it within that time, and
that therefore it became necessary to
forge two signatures to the triplicate pa
pers. There were eighteen forged sig
natures which were attached on Decem
ber 2&ih, is a small upper room in the
Clarke. How ihe making of this seoond
certificate was conoealed nntil it wai pro
daoed beforo Congress; how, when it
was referred to tho Commission;
it vra3 not read bnt ordered to be printed,
and the printer who changed and the
Electoral commission were served with
two copies of the forged certificate, per
fect in form, and no copy of the genuine
defective certificate—how, after the feom-
mission had decided, the record of the
commission was-changed bo that -the
forged certificate which really was before
the eominfcision was suppressed and the
second made-to Bhowas if the : Veal de
fective certificate' had ‘been considered
and passed
The report, then recites how all the per
sons connected with the business'* have
been appointed to office, and- the -suspi
cious circumstances connected with the
appointment of some partiodlarly, point
ing Ontf that Kellogg and Clark, his pri
vate secretary, were privy to the forger-
power poeaeBaedby the Returning Board,. ies and the latter is now a clerk in the
Treasury.
; The report winds cp with a reference
to- the danger of returning boards end
State more than 25.000,-. while aotoolly
teuxo were no more, and the refusal of
the anthoritias to oorreot this false regis
tration in oisea where its falseness, was
pointed ont.
From this tho repost proceeds to tonoh
upon tho dircotion given by the Repub
lican Campaign Committee to tho eleotion
officers, reqninng them to return tho
votes according to the census—that is,
elating that the ooiored . vote, by that
censns in a certain parish was so mnob,
and that they were expected to retain a
Republican vote corresponding to that,
If they were ever to have any reward or
preferment.
Notwithstanding Ibis organized fraud,
says the report, when the elections wero
over the Democrats had a majority es re
turned by the Republican eleotion effi.
cers of some ten thousand.
The vote polled being the largest ever
polled in the Stato and larger in propor
tion to the population than that Of other
States. The Republican officers made re-
tarns of the vote aosordingly and declar
ed that the election was porte-cily peaoe-
fnl and fair. The conspirators, in order
to overthrow this majority, usurped pow
ers not given to them.
The report then deals with the question
of Intimidation and endeavors to show
how it was utterly impossible for Demo
crats to gain anything (by it, because the
retaining board had been created on pur
pose to neutralize any snch action by
throwing ont votes in localities whera it
should prevdL
As to the oonppinoy in EastFeli^
oiana parish, the report states that
after the Demoorata h«d got control of
the negro votel' hen; Kellogg and An
derson^ -vho ?*. .-re' the supervisors
wanted” a have no eleotion and
Anderson fraudently ran away with
that view—meaning thereby to throw the
Parish ont as Grant. Parish bad been
thrown ont, by the Supervisor of Regis
tration absenting himself on election day,
notwithstanding that the other officer held
the election and -.ids' due return of the
vote.
Tha Democrats in East Feliciana,
knowing that they had captured the ne
gro vote, hired Anderson to go back and
bold the election. The Republicans then
bit upon a new plan, and directed their
friends in the Parish not to vote. They
sent ont word to them not to come to
tho polls, and refosed to permit any tick
ets to be printed or U6ed for them, and
exercised their influence to withhold their
own vote entirely. Eighteen thousand
votes wero cast, notwithstanding which,
with four hundred and fifty whioh Ander
son had prevented from being registered,
made about twenty-three thousand Dem
ocratic votes; whereas the whole vote of
the Pariah at previous elections on both
sideskad not exceeded twenty-five thous
and. The Republicans were withheld from
casting any vote at all, and snbseqnently
made a claim that such was the state of
terrorism existing at the time of the
election that none on their side could
vote.
It refers very briefly to the alleged
bargain by which Hayes, who had 3,000
less votes than Packard, was counted in
while Packard went ont, and mentions
Mr. Sherman's effort to prove intimida
tion—pointing ont that the evidence was
not produced whenever the committee
offered to receive It.
How repeatedly it had been offered and
how repeatedly they were met by some
excuse for not producing it—how they
had examined many of the witnesses that
were before the Returning Board, who,
in almost every instance recanted and
explained how they came to make their
false affidavits in the first place, and how
snch statements as they made before the
Returning Board were totally unfounded.
It then refers to tho Sherman letter,
in regard to which it simply states the
faots as they stand, attempting to show
that the letter was actually written and
largely influenced political action in Lou
isiana, and drawing attention to the at
tempt on the part of Mrs. Jenks, whose
huEband and brother are employes of the
Treasury Department, to indnee the com
mittee to prodace a forged letter in the
interest of Mr. Sherman. ,
The Florida portion of the report is
followed by a list of all the persons con
nected with tho election who have been
appointed to office, and the Louisiana por
tion by a still longer list of persons of
that State who have been appointed to
offiee.

is as follows The snndiy civil appropri

the two Houses will apparently be recon

The Conference Committee on the De
ficiency bill are as yet unable to reach
aDy agreement concerning the Senate
amendment proposing an appropriation
of $250,009 for the expenses of the mar.
shals, election supervisors, etc. Some
minor points are still in controversy, bnt
-the differences in regard to this bitl and

doubtedly be adjusted, in the event of a
final agreement being reached Dy the two
Houses concerning the clause in the leg
islative executive and judicial appropria
tion bill which provides for a repeal of
Federal eleotion la vs.
The prospect for au agreement by the
Committee of Conference on the Legisla
tive bill is, however, at present writing,
very inconsiderable;
The House met at 9 o’clock to-night,
but merely for the purpose of receiving
.messages from the President and the Sen
ate and to bear reports from Conference
Committees.
The Conferecco Committees on the
Post office and Army Appropriation bills
reported their inability to agree, and

Richmond, Ya„ March 2.—The House
remained in session nntil soon to-day.
Filibustering tactics resulted in ft stav
ing off action on the debt bill. The pend
ing question daring last night’s discus
sion was an amendment providing for the
submission of the proposed bill to a vote
of the people for ratification before it be
came a law.
It was rejected early this morning and
was the only amendment disposed of,
although several were introduced by the
obstructionists.
The friends of the bill were powerless
to press it to a final vote, as the previous
question could only be ordered by a two-
thirds vote, which they could not com
mand. Under these circnmstances, it
being apparent that it wonld be impossi
ble to break down the opposition in time
to result in any good, the debt-paying
party gave up the fight and voted for
adjournment.
The bill is thus killed for the present
session and the chances of it* finally be
coming a law depend - entirely npon the
Governor's calling an extra seeelon. It is
generally believed he will do ec; but that
he will probably postpone it for a month
or so.

and Ifosby, who boasted that l o was
tho Marion in the second war,
to Gbina, as consol, he felt
satisfied that Jefferson Davis would
scorn the pension. That gentleman did
not csk it.
He bad served nnder Mr. Davis in a civ
il capacity. Mr. Davis was a gallant sol
dier in the Mexican war. His services
were on record, and although they did
not surpass, they equalled tbosu of Greece
and Rome.
Mr, Shields took a different yiev from
both sides. He tnonght that singling
ont Jefferson Davis from ten millions of
people in th» South, was giving him a
distinction greater than he deserved.
Mr. Bailey said the country wa3 tO'
day longing and wishing for peace, and
he appealed to Senators on the other side
to do nothing to prevent it. The people
of the South, having lo3t all in the war,
were poor and they desired to restore
their industries.
Mr. Maxey briefly spoke of the services
rendered by Mr. Davis in the Mexican
war, and said he would loavo it for tho3e
who fought with him to pass judgment
on the amecdmpnt of the Senator from
Massachusetts, *
Mr. Thnrman said that amendment
asked him to single ont Jefferson Davis
for punishment, when other' men, who
went as far a3 he did, were not only not
punished, bnt have beon appointed to the
highest stations in the government; and
in this connection bo mentioned the
names of Akerman, formerly United
States Attorn&y-Goneral: General Long-
street, postmaster at Gainesville, and
Mosby, of guerilla fame; all, and many
others of the same class, being appointed
by the Republican administrations. He
saw on the bench, too, men who were ac
tively engaged in the Confederate service,
who were just as guilty as Jefferson Da
vis.
The proposition before them came
from tho Senator of a Stato (MasEachu-
settts) where treason had been more vi
olent and longer than that of any other
State io the Union. Thnrman did not
want to pick ont Jefferson Davie as a
martyr when all others who had acted
with him walk the earth unchanged.
Mr. Lamar, replying to Hoar, said he
must confess his snrpiise and regret that
the gentleman from Massachusetts should
have wantonly, without provocation,
flung this-insult.
The chair (Mr._ Edmunds) called the
Senator to order fer this language.
Mr. Lamar said: *'I suppose is i3 in
order to fling insults but out of order for
those who are insulted to hurl back tho
blow. I appeal from the decision of the
ohsfr.” The question being taken the
docision of the chair was overrated.
Yeas 15, raj s 27.
Lamer proceeded, eulogising Mr. Davis
and protesting against attempts to single
him ont for obloqny from the body of the
Southern people who had chosen him for
their leader in a cansedear alike to him
and his followers.
The debate was continued by Blaine,
Hoir, Lamar and others.
Mr. Chandler said that eighteen years
ago he and Jeff. Davis came into the Sen
ate together, and both at the time swore
to support the Constitution of the United
States. Davis had come from Fieroe’s
cabinet. And when he took said oath
there was treason in hia heart and per
jury on hia lips. He took Ihe oath to
support a government he meant to over
throw. He (Chandlor), considering the
conduct of Davis during the war, did not
expect to hear eulogies on Jefferson Davis
on the floor of the Senate. He was sur
prised to hear them, especially as every
man, woman and child in the North be
lieve Jeff. Davis to be a doable-dyed
traitor. X
Mr. Coke said that Mr. Davis was not
worse than he was and very many other
of the Southern people who selected him
as leader. He was not ashamed to Tote
for Davis any more than he was to vote
for any other man or any other subject.
“I wai,” said Mr. Coke, "as much of a
rebel as Jeff. Davis.’’
Farther discussion, in which Messrs.
Gordon, Windom, Kinsom and Beck
participated, took place, the Ia6t named
gentleman saying that the Mexican vet
eran amendment wts voted in with the
aid of eight Eopublioan votes, and that
the bill wag passed with fourteen Repub
licans voting for it. Bat for the Repub
licans, fie wanted it to be understood, the
bill wobld not be a law in the land.
Host’d amendment to exolnde Jefferson
Davis was agreed to by a vote of 23 to 22.
The vote wae then taken on the amend
ment of Mr. Shields, to pension Mexican
veterans as amended on motion ot Mr.
Hoar, ond waadleagiced to by n vote of
20 to 23. The bill then passed—44 to 3.
Mr. Allison then reported that the Con

were unable to agree. A new committee

from the adhesion of all the moderatee
and a great majority of the country. If
it continues to sacrifice the high fano

certainly run the risk of a dangerous re
action. M. De Marcere, who has called
forth tho debate may abstain from taking

not the cabinet h'aa adopted a moderate
