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.

The House oonferees, how ever, refased to accede to this offer of compromise, or to make oosoeasions on other points of difference above -indi cated. The army bill oonferees came to a dead lock on the Homo prohibition of the presence of troop a at the polls under any circnmstances, and were also wholly un able to agree upon the subject of army reorganization. The situation with regard to the other appropriation bills in charge of commit tees of conference at 11 o'clock to-night is as follows The snndiy civil appropri ation bill is in rapid process ot adjust ment, and all points of difference between the two Houses will apparently be recon ciled by the committee's daring the night. 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 the post-office and army bills will un 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 were reappointed. The conference committee "on legisla tive bill has just new made a like re- tive to the es'ablisoment of qaairttinfio German harbors, wbiob would affect 18 ports on ths North Sea and 30 on the Baltic.

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.

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 ference Committee, on the legislative, executive and jadioiel appropriation bill, were unable to agree. A new committee was appointed.
