What the Potter Investigation
has Established.
A resume of the unpleasant lacts
which the Potter Committee has prov
ed beyond successful rebuttal affords
no warrant for Republican exhilara
tion. Asside from deuionstating the
truth of wnat everybody has believed
for the past nineteen months —that the
| electoral votes of Florida and Louisi
ana belonged to Tilden, though given
to Hayes—the committee has dearly
established the following points in de
tail, touching Louisiana, which are
recapiiulated by the Washington
Pox':
1. That a conspiracy was entered
into by certain Republican leaders,
the object being to hold no election in
Fas'Feliciana, Grant and other Dem
ocratic parishes,
2. That the fact hat no Republican
votes were cast in East Felciana was
not due to intimidation, as alleged,
tut was owing to Anderson’s advice
to the Republican leaders not to vote
as it would havo a netter effect than
all the afflidavitß that could be pro
duced.
3. That for a period of two days
after the election the Republican
leaders admitted that Tilden and Nieri
ol!s had State by a heavy
majority.
4. That when it became evident
that the election of Hayes dependent
upon the result of the State, deliberate
preparation were made for tho pur nose
of defeating the will of the people as
expres.-e 1 at the polls.
5. That the pursuance of this plan
protests, forged and altered to suit the
occasion, were made for the parishs of
East and West Feliciana, whereby a
Democratic majority of over 2,800
was changed to a Republican majoiity
of 500.
6 That the Supervisors of the above
named parishes were prevantrd biC
offers of reward made by John Sher
man and others from exposing such
fogeries.
7. That on the 27th day of No
vember, when the returning board pro
ceeded to sum up th result of their
labors, it was discovered that while
Pakard aud a Republican Legisla
ture wuie elected, Hayes was defeat
ed.
8. That after the above date arid in
order to secure the electtoral vots for
Hayes, forged protests were made for
Richland and .other pareshes and the
teturnes from Lafayette and other par
ishes so changed as toiucrease the Ra
publican vote.
9. That affilavils bearing factitious
names, and the names of dead men,
were manufactured in tho custom
house, and upon such affidavits vari
ous Democratic polls wire thrown
out.
10. That the acts' above recited
were known to some of the visit
ing statesman, and received their ap
proval.
11. That the electoral vote of
the State, as counted before the
two houses of Cor gress, were a for
gery.
12. That John Sherman, now Sec
retary of the Treasury, and at the
time the personal representatives of
Mr. Hayes, was guilty cf subordina
tion oi perjury.
13. That the leanding’partie? nec
essary to a complection of the fraud
wore promis'd by him protection and
roward.
14. That the fraudulent President
in fulfillment of Sherman’s and
Noyon’ premisses, has rewaided with
office every scoundrel connected with
the great crime in both Florida and
Louisianna,
15. That Stanly Matthews, a IRe
publican Senator from Ohio, and Jus
tice Harlan, a Judge of the Supreme
Couit, had guilty knowledge of the
fraudlent transactions by which the
vote of Louisianna was stolen, aud
personly interested themselves to te
ward and protect the crimnals
-16. That Senatoi Morton and Gen
eral Gat field, both members of the
electoral commission, knew when they
voted to count the vote of Louisiana
for Hayes mat it was both fraudulent
and fogery.
17. That Senator Kellogg, who as-
Bieted at the fogerv of the Louisiana
teturna, has since been guilty of se
creting witnesses.
18. That not one of ‘.he crimnals
who assisted to perpetrate the collos
sal crime of the age has been punish,
ed ; but that all but two—numbering
over one hundred—have been provi
ded with office by Mr Hayes’ direct
order or request, and in some cases

by and through his continued and
I persisted interference.
With few exceptions these facts are
proved, exclusive of the testimony of
either Anderson or Weber, notwith
standing that the committee hatr only

A Diplomatic Answer.
* Citvelaßcl Herald.
The old man Smith, of Richfield'
is a self-sufficient sort of old
and prides bimselt upon his riding
abilities. One day he espied his young
hopeful leading a colt to water rattier
gingerly, and remarked;
“Why on earth don’t you ride that
beast ?”
“I’m afraid he’ll throw me.”
‘•Briug that hos3 hers,” snapped
the old man.
The cob was urged to the fence,
and braced on one ’side by the boy
while the old man climbed on to the
rails and stockod himself jon the colt’s
back. Then he was let go, and the
old gentleman, rode proudly off. Par
alyzed by fear the colt went slowly for
about twenty rods without a ’demon
stration. Then likedightning liis four
legs bunched together, his back bowed
like viaduct arch and the old man shot
up in the -ir turned seven seperate
and distinct somersaults and lit on the
small of his back in the middle of tha
road with both legs twisted around
his neck. Hastening to him theyoung
hopeful anxiously inquired:
“Did it hart you pa ?”
Tho old man rose slowly, shook out
the knots.in Ilia legs, brushed the dust
from his ears and hair and tubbing
his growled:
‘‘Well, it didn’t do me a dum bit of
good. You eo home.”
The Augusta Evening News tells
an amusing stoiy on an old gentle
man of Richmond county which it
avers positively to be true. It seems
that the said old gen’lemen had a
fiue watermelon patch. Finding his
melons disappearing, he stole out on
o certain night lately with a shot gun
to watch for intruders, but not find
ing any he finally became weary and
fell "asleep. It seems that a certain
darkey had, dining the day marked a
fine melon for his own, an 1, just at
this juncture, came after it. Finding
the melon, he iooked around for a
means of bursting it, and spying the
old gentleman asleep, he mistook his
head for a stump. Up went the mel
on, and in the next minute it was
smashed into Ragmen's over the old
geutlemnn’scranium. A jump, a yell
and the old gentleman scampers oil
in one direction while the darkey
flits in another, Says the News
further. “Tho old gentleman reaches
tl.o fron t door as the dat key comes in the
back. They meet in tho hall. “Gol
ly ! Marse Jack, Tore God debbil in
de watermelon patch; ho chase me
and like to co’ch me.’ ‘So it was
you, you blauklhound !’ roars*the old
gentleman. Whack ! whack !
A New System of Washing.
A system of washing clothes has
lately been introduced iu some French
towii which is worthey ol special in
tention. Its economy is so great as to
gently reduce the cost. Ti is is th
process:
Two pounds of soapis reduced with
p. little water to a sortol pap, which,
having boon slightly warmed, Is cool
ed in ten gallons of water, to which is
added one spoouful of turpentine oil
end two spoonfuls of ammonia; then
the mixture is agitated. The water
is kept at a temperature which may
be borne ty the hand. Iu this solu
tion the white clothes are put. and
left there for two hours before wash
ing them with soap, taking care in
tho meantime to cover the tut*. The
solution may be warmed again and
used once morp, but it will be neces
sary to add half a spoonbill of tur
pentine and an 'ther spoonful of am
monia Once washed with soap, the
clothes are putin warm water and the
blue is applied. The process, it is
obvious spares much time much labor
and fuel, while it gives to the clothes
w[tightness mueh superior to that ob
tained by any other method and the
destructive use of the washboard or
of pounding k not necessary to clean
the clothes from the impurities which
they contain.

AN INCIDENT IN NAPLES.
How an Insult to a Daughter of
General Lee was Resented by
Some of Her Countrymen
Letter to tlic ColumM/i Register.
Natu's, Italy, July 10, —It has
been considered to be proper by a
number ot Americana now in this city
to give your readers an account ot the
shameful treatment of a distinguished
American lady by one of tne proprie
tors of the hotel Royal des Etrangers,
one of the largest hotels in the city,
and of the just punishment which he
received at the hands of gentlemen
who were ready to peri! their lives in
the cause of right and truth against
imposition and oppression upon an un
piotected lady.
Miss Mary Curtis Lee, a daughter
of General Robert E. Lee, arrived
here a few days since in cnnipeny
with some lady friends from Malta,
who registered at Ihe above named
hotel. It appears that duriug the
night of tho Bth inst., the misquito
bar around tire bed ignited acci
dentally from a candle which Miss
Lee bad lighted. In a few moments
the flumes spread amj caught the lace
cur ains, and tho room was soon en
veloped in Amies, which Miss Loo
heroically endeavored to suppress,
but without success, and fearing that
the hotel might be burned, she gavo
the alarm of fire, wich soon was heard
by some gentlemen who were occupy
ing rooms on the same fl >or, when
ex Judge Samuel \V. Melton aud Mr.
W. A. Clark, of Columbia, South
Carolina, were the first who came to
the rescue of Mi6s Lee, and succeeded
in saving] her money and valuable
joweliy fre m llioj tiro. Ihe morning
following tho fire, Miss Lee expressed
her wilhngness to pay all damage,
though the fire had occurred fiom ac
cident. The proprie'or, taking ad
vantage of ihe lady, demanded 2,000
trances, whio ■ was ”a preposterous
aud, cr.criKOus.charge for damage. A
geutloman from Oiiio, a Mr. Poland,
a guest of the hotel, who has beSn
vice-president of an insurance compa
ny for a number of years, estimated
tlie damage at ?70. The friends of
Miss Lee at once demurred to this
enormous charge. The American
consul, Mr. Duncan, at this place,
was exceedingly kind, and protested
against the payment of any such sum.
The proprietor now being foiled in his
disgraceful effort to overchango for
damage occi.ring from accident, be
came insolent and spoke in a manner
which reflected upon Miss Le. Toe
insult was quickly resented. Mr.
Olaik, of Columbia, S. 0., struck him
over the held with an umbrella. In a
fow moments the proprietor was sur
tonnded by a number of Italians, who
wore clerks, waiters and attaches of
the hotel, but they were met by
Judge Melton, Col. John T. Sloan, Jr .
Mr. D. A. p. Joidan, of South Caroli
na, and Dr. I. B Roberts, of Georgia,
who by their courage and determina
tion caused them to stampede and
call for the police. A largo crowd
soon assembled about the hotel. Iho
proprietor was denoun ed Ly Col
Sloan for his conduct toward Miss
Lee, and challenged him to go into
the garden and answer for the same
with swords or pistols, which the pro
prietor refused to accept. It w >uld
lie well for all Ameiicms to avoid
this hotel when coming to Naples.
A Plucky Student.
An lowa paper tells’this story: At
tho commencement of the present
term of the medical collegia young
student from the West started .or
Keokuk to attend. Arriving at Alba
he found his means would not he suf
ficient, and he walked lhe rest of the
way to that city. Ho paid in lull tor
his tuition, and then had just seven
dollars left. Three of these were laid
out for a quarter’s rent for his books.
No stove, no furniture, no beo, not
even a blanket, and only four dollars
to live on. In a month or so he pro
cured a blanket, and considered him
self fortu-'ato. Ilia money was used
to buy corn meal, and twice a week
he would go down to the pork houses
and make up a lot of bteail,
bake if, and bring it to his room, and
on corn bread alone bo has been sub
sisting during the entire term. lie
has earned five dollars since he has
been here, and on this and the seven
dollars he had left after paying his
college fees, twelve dollars in all, ho
subsisted. During this time no one
lias known how be lived, and tie on
ly remarkable] thing that has been
noticod about him is that he is one of
the btightest students in the
and bids fair to graduate with the
highest honors. His condition would
not have been found out had it not
l been that a gentleman rented
a room in the same building, and by
making his acquaii tance ascertained
bow he bad been living,
j Th 9 student is a bright, frank, tear
i less fellow, who asks, no favors, has
j paid in advance for everything he has
got, is not afraid of difficulties, and it
he ptoves not a bright and shining
light in his profession—if he is not
heaid from as an emiuent physician
and surgeon, ere many years roil
around, we lose our guess.

placed close by the tube. An extra
ordinary phenomenon will be observ
ed. A hole the siztTof*,the tube will
appear cut through the hand, through
which Objects are distinctly visible.—
That part cf the tube between the
eye and hand will appear transparent,
as though tho hand were seen through
it.
2. Drop a blot of ink upon the palm
of the hand, at the paint where the
; hole appears to be, and agiinjobserve
as before. Unless tba attention bo
strongly concentrated upon objects
seen through the tube, the ink-spot
will be visible within the tube (ap
parently), but that part of tho hand
upon which it rests will bo invisiblo,
unions special attention be directed to
the hand. Ordinary the spot will ap
pear opaque. Byjdirecting the tube
upon brilliantly illuminated, objects,
it will, however, appear trans parent)
and may be ma le to disappear by
proper effort. By concentrating tba
attention upon the hand, i: may also
be seen wiffiin tho tube (especially if
strongly illnminated), that pait im
mediately surrounding the ]ink-spot
appearing first.
3. Substitute for the hand a 'sheet,
of unruled paper, and for the ink-spot
a small hole cut through tho paper.
The small hole will appear within the
tube, distinguishing its If bj its high
er illumination, the paporjimmediaie
jy surrounding it beiug invisible.—
Many other curious experiments will
suggest themselves. For example:
Ifau ink-spot some vhat l'rg“r than
tho tube be observed, the lower end
of tho tube] will appear to bo blacken
ed on the inside.
