ST. PETER, Minn., Aug. 14.At 12 o'clock
the committee adjourned for dinner. During
tha two hours they were in session they were
engaged in Retting ready for the afternoon's
work by arranging the papers upon which the
secretary, W. Smith, has been working for
Bo.netimc past. The chairman, Hon. M. Ooran,
dispatched letter to Dr. Bartlett, asking him
at which place it would he most convenient for
the committee to meet to examine the accounts
and vouchers for expenditures, at the upper or
lower hospital. Tin- doctor replied by asking
the committee to the upper hospital proper.
AT TnE HOSPITAL.
At 2 o'clock Senators Doran, Rice. Morton,
E Igerton, and Secretary Smith drove np to the
asylum, nnd your correspondent, in order to
witness the manner of their reception, preced
ed them. Upon entering. Dr. James fitepped
out of the ofEco room and shook hands with
some of the committee. Then came Mr. Dryer,
unci afto-him Dr. Bartlett. Dr. Bowers, and the
Broward's clerk then joined the party and
after a few moments delay the door "of the
truUeeo' mm was unlocked, and all were po
litelv asked to enter and be seated. The re
ception wan a very different one from that ac
corded the committee on their first visit. Dr.
Bartlett seerr ed cool and possessed, and treated
the commitfe with unrestrained politness. Mr.
Dryev seemed, perhaps, a little nervous, but
only a little, which appeared .in the modula
tion of hi-* tones, and a very slight aspen-like
flutter of the papers he held. The first words
passed between the two parties were common
plnco ones on the weather, the observation be
ing made that the room was delightfully cool
in compuria to the small sky parlor the corn
mitteo had occupied at the hotel.
THE BALL OPENED.
Mr. Elijirton opaneJ the ball by asking Mr.
Dryer if he hud ready for the committee's in
spsction of all vouchara for 1S7G and 1877. Mr.
Dryer tid t!at he had those from 1873 to 1875
r.s he thought those would be wanted first.
Those for 1876 and 1877 were down at the other
building. He could, however, get them if it
wus the pleasure of the committee.
Mr. Djran did nob think that the board
wished to pirt Mr. Dryer to any unneoessary
trouble, but Mr. Smith had everything pre
pared for- the two years named and
the committee wou either adjourn to the
other biiildiug'or trouble Mr. Dwyer to Bend for
the paper* necessary, jnst whichever would
savo time and inconvenience. I was finally
arnnp.l th it M.-. D.-yar sirmld go for the pa
pers, and in the meantime the doctors were
asked the number of employes who were fed at
the institution and the number of patients fed
each month and for the whole year, or if it
were possible to get nt. the result from the
books. The books were produced by Drs.
Bartlett and Bowers, from ich it was evident
the committee could get the desired informa
tion when they might require it.
DRYRlt'S BUDGET.
Mi'. Dryer having returned with half a buggy
load of documents, he proceeded to unpack
and arrange them upon t!-:e table. They were
nently folded and arranged in regular rder in
nea.t urappeis. The business then commenced
by the chairman, who held in his hands fnll
copies of returns of expenditure for the year
commencing December, 1675, and ending No
vember, 1670, of each monfh in detail, and a
statement under separate heads of the quanti
ties an.I cojt of all articles consumed at the
hospital, such as meat, flour, butter, sugar etc.
These were obtained by Mr. Smith from returns
scut into the State a ml itor, nnd it was now the
intention to compare each amount with the orig
in voucher. The committee spent three hours
in computing item by item of the charges and
jiineituis, which Roetned to them to be either
largo or extraordinary. Some seemingly
CTJKIOUS CHARGE*
were discovered. Among the ilrst that struck
the committee was that oE Mi. Talbot, one of
the trustees, for reading a lecture to the luna
tics on the centennial, for which he charged
$3. This, taken with another item of expenses
of four of the trustees to the centennial exhi
bition being one, and the Itev. secretary, treas
urer, trustee, and Steward Kerr being another,
the hitter's bill, amounting to $81.51, caused
considerable surprise.
Dr. Bartlett explained that these four men
did not make the charge for expenses to the ex
position, but to a convention in Philadelphia.
So-alor Morton asked if it is not customarv
to give itemized vouchers for bills when called
for?
Senator IUcc asked if the trustees were in
the habit of attending these conventions.
Dr. Bartlett baid the two years he had charge
of the asylum, two conventions beforeithe one
in question had been attended. One by Mr.
Fletcher, the other by the reverend secretary,
treasurer, trustee and steward, the former at
Albany and the latter at Madison. He did not
explain how the trustees happened to think it
neeensnry for four io attend at Philadelphia
during th3 centennial.
The Rev. blew aid, trustee, secretary and
treasurer's name was down for $275.00 aB secre
tary and treasurer. Again for $30.50 for ex
penses to St. Paul. Also for eight days at
tendance at the asylum as trustee, #32.0,0. Re
ligious services were entered at $260.00, but it
di I not transpire how much of thiB went tothe
reverend trustee, treasurer, secretary, steward
Kerr.
CRUDE OIL.
Another matter which elicited sharp scrutiny
and some sharp questioning was in connection
with crude oil. Calling for vouchers Mr.
Doran found one to be December28, to the
Minneapolis Gas Light Co.. 367 gallons crude
oil at lu cents, $3 5.70. The other to Hill &,
Acker, Si. Paul, January, 60 barrels 2,450 gal
lons at 15 cents, .ts:i68.40.
Mr. Dryer said the s-mall quantity was or
dered to bridge over the time till the other
large quantity arrived which had been ordered
before. They could not understand the differ
ence in price without it was that after be gave
the large order there was a sudden fall in the
price. It was suggested by Dr. Bartlett that
the gas light people favored the institution, as
they wcte on very friendly terms.
Senator Mo toa diduot think their friendship
for the doctor would induce them to sell goods
to the State for less than their value.
The matter of cartage in the same bill was
not so light, however, $1.50 being charged for
-tight cankB.
Groceries, meat and flour were overhauled,
but will come before tne board again to-mor
row. A few items, however, might be men
tioned. The institution has been prying for
eggs, 20 cents per dozen, by 30 aozen lots
from 15 cents to 25 cents for butter in large
quantities, and the whole butter for a year
averaged 17^ cents, and cost as much as all the
flour, cornmeal, and buckwheat
used in the establishment. There
was mote mutton and beef used than flour per
pound, beddo fish, lauib, sausages, dried beef,
chickens, turkeys, prairie chickens, duoka and
geese.
Tio matter of the trustee** expenses occur
ring so often drew from Ihe board considerable
comment. Talbot Was down eleven days for
8Ci, Kerr, eight days, $32. and Straight, for
three day*, %68.50.
Sena' or Doran read from the constitution the
Jaw referring to trustees, from whioh it ap
peared they could only charge actual expenses
while being actually engaged in the business of
the institution. Senator Morton failed to see
where the expense of the reverend treasurer,
&o, Ac., Kerr, could come in. He had no trav
eling expenses and no hotel bills nor could
Straight have bad, without it was his fare from
Shakopee, Rome $2.50. The expenses for Mr.
Dryer'B visits to St. Paul for purchasing sup
plies four days, $12, and four days $13, came
in for their share of comment, the board think
ing fonr days along time every little while to
spend in buying goods.
Although the investigation now is only deal
ing with dry figures, considerable richness
promises to be divulged. Dr. Bartlett is living
the board every facility for their inquiry and
seems quite himself again^ndw that the Rev.
&c, &,c, Kerr and the other trustees are absent.

EAST ST. LOUIS.
The Municipal Muddle Drugging It Wea

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 14. The chapter of events
in East St. Louis to-day may be briefly written
thus: The charter council met this morning
and unanimously adopted a resolution instruct
ing John McLean to demand the surrender of
the city market house, now in possession of
Bowman, and which is used by them as a city
hall and headquarters of the deputy marshal's
and Mayor Bowman's police force, and in ca-e
of refusal to call for assistance to enforce his
demand. Late this afternoon McLean made a
formal demand for the market house on Mayor
Bowman and General Law Ci!y
Clerk Sullivan,
which was promptly refused by them. Not
being able to find General Law City Marshal
Walsh, on whom to make a similar demand,
and it being now nearly dark, McLean retired
without calling on any one for assistance, and
the curtain fell to rise again to-morrow morn
ing upon some new scene.
Condition of the Cotton Crop.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.August returns to
the department of agriculture show the aver
age condition of the cotton crop in ten States
of 95, a decline of 4. North Carolina 82, gain
of South Carolina 97, loss of 7 Gewpia 92,
loss 13 Florida 99, loss 1 Alabama 98, loss 4
Mississippi 92, loss 60 Louisiana 40, loss 5
Texas 108, gain 2 Arkansas 88,
gain 7 Tennessee 92, loss 6.
Of 299 cotton counties reporting, 63 re
ported 183 above and 153 below. The condi
tion of the crop is somewhat better than in
August, 1872. In the northern portion of the
cotton belt many counties complain of ex
treme heat and drought causing the plants to
shed and bulb to open prematurely. Further
south the rain-fall has been excessive, causing
rust. Insect injuries at the date of cores
pondence were inconsiderable, but later re
ports of Prof. Riley, the entomologist, show
considerable local injury from this source.

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS! BT
THE POTTEK COMMITTEE.
The Bargain by Which Hayes Was Seated
In the PresidencyThe McVeigh Com
mission The Work Outlined by Mat
theirs and Hi Co-ConspiratorsInter
esting Letter from Congressman Darrall
to James E Anderson.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.The Potter Congres
sional committee continued their investigation
this morning, and Col. Wm. H. Roberts, of
the New Orleans Times, testified. He Baid he
'Aas familiar with what was going on saw all
of tho visiting statesmen at New Orleans.
They were not consulted about his visit to
Ohio. He merely mentioned to Stevenson,
Matthews and Sherman that the situation ot
the white people in the State was desperate.
We had been defeated by the returning board
in 1872, and were afraid of being defeated
again in 1876, and the people were beginning
to think an election was utterly useless. We
considered the election a fair and just one,
and we polled every white vote available, but
we feared being counted out by the returning
board. We all believed the returning board
would not dare to have done what
they did do without they had receiv
ed the moral support of the visiting
statesmen. These apprehensions about the re
turning board were what led to my visit to
Gov. Hayes. We wanted to know what action
be would take if elected. He knew perfectly
well that I was talking for the Democratic side.
I understood Hayes to mean by fairness and
justice that the returning board cheating should
cease, and that, as I told him we had a clear
majority of over 7,000 in the State, the Nicholls'
government wouhf'be recognized. There waB
no determination to Tesist the establishment of
places in the Federal government. We were
deeply interested in finding out what would be
done if the Demooratio vote of Louisiana was
thrown out aud HayeB counted in. 1 did not
bear of any forged electoral certificates of
Louisiana. In conversation with Foster he said
it was strange that no Republican vote was cast
in East Feliciana. In my conversation with
Senator Conkling I told him 1 thought Gov.
Hayes a very fair man, and that he
had told me he would be President of all the
United StateB or not at all. 1 detailed to the
Senator all my conversation with Hayes.
Conkling replied: "lam opposed to all this
sort of thing. If Hayes is elected he should
get in without concessions to Louisiana, and
if he is not elected he should not get in at all."
In conversation with several gentlemen I re
marked that the crookedness of the returning
board in Louisiana was so bad and glaring
that even RepuDlicans had to disavow all con
nection with it. This applied to previous pe
titions. We understood that the military
would be withdrawn after the 4th of March,
and they would be let down easy, but they
would be let down.
Gen. ButlerWho do you mean by they?
A.The Packard government. There
was a committee appointed to go down to
Louisiana, intended simply to let the Packard
government down easily. I looked better,
you know.
This ended Roberts' testimony. The
next witness was Jol E. L' .e, who is a
reporter on the New Orleans Times. He testi
fied that about 1872 he was engaged in getting
up facts and evidence in support of the Kel
logg government to lay before Congress. 0 her
people made affidavits and witness compiled
them. There were endless commissions and
committees and calls for more evidence from
Senator Morton. I wa- alleged that the Dem
ocrats with Warmouth had swindled us Repub
licans. All the best offices had been traded off
to the returning board in 1872 to get them to
count in Kellogg. Witness was to get the best
office traded off already and picked out the of
fice of harbor master. Never went near the
office except to draw pay. Was con
stantly associated with Kellogg. Lost
confidence in Gov. Kellogg when 1 was re
moved. I then got a position in the State Sen
ate as clerk. Kellogg' excuse for all his fail
ings was that he was tied up and embarrassed
and could not do what he wanted with his
patronage. He was situated just as -yes is
now by the returning board of 1876. Witness
believed Anderson was on both. He was after
wards made a tax collector a small town
which he traded off for a seat in the State con
vention that nominated Packard in lb76. Wit
ness was opposed to Packard, and Kellogg
wanted him to spring the nomination of Wil
liamson. Kellogg pretender! to support Pack
ard before the convention, but be never in
tended him to be nominated.
Here Mr. Roberts was recalled and Gen.
Butler said: When did you first hear of the
McVeagh commission?
A. About the 20th of February, I think. I
was speaking with several parties, Mr. Foster
among others, and the question of lettingdown
the Packard peoDle easy came up. Then a
commission with a majority of Republicans in
it was suggested. Major Vining and others
said it was a capital idea, that a commission
sanctioned by the President and secretary of
state would make Republicans in Louisiana
yield aud give the State to the Nicholls' gov
ernment. It was well understood that the
commission was under official i structions.
Q. By Gen. ButlerThen you looked on
the commissioners coming aown there as a
farce.
A. Well, not exactly.
Q. It was predetermined that one govern
ment was to be Jet down easy?
A. That's it exactly.
Q. Then one Democrat was put on the com
mission to give it the appearance of fairness?
A. Yes, we wanted a cool and collected man
in the commission who would let us know what
they were doing.
The witness baid he supposed the President
or secretary of State was aware of the objects
and intentions of the commission, that the
fairness and justice of case was the -wiping
out a..d letting down of the Packard govern
ment, the Nicholls government having a ma
jority of votes.
Q. Then, on yjror own showing, and on the
evidence that Nicholls was elected and Packard
was not, and on the decision of the commission,
should it not have been decided by them also
that Tilden was elected aud Hayes was not?
A. Undoubtedly, as Tilden got near the
same majority as Nicholls.
Witness tai'd he understood after Hayes' in
auguration this commission would be sent
down to back up the Packard government.
Witness said, we were well prepared for
trouble. We had determed that come what
might we would have no collision with United
States troops. I twas determined not to recog
nize the Packard government at all. There iB
no doubt in the minds of the people of Louisi
ana that neither Kellogg or Packard were
elected governor, although Kellogg Rerved four
years. We had determined to take the State
government by armed force from those who
held it by forms of law. The people of the
State and courts recognized t' Nicholl's gov
ernment. The Packard government only held
the State bouse and six acres in the vicinity
thereof. The militia amounted to 3,000 men,
all of whom were true to Nicholls.
By Gen. ButlerThen Packard with only
seventy-five men and Nicholls with 3,000 to op
pose him, it took a solemn commission of four
prominent Republicans and only one promi
nent Democrat fifteen days to tread him
down.
A.Yes, sir. I understood the Kellogg cre
dentials for the Senate were laid on the table
by Hoar, Dawes and Burnside voting with the
Democrrts.
Witness said, the only assurances we received
that the Packard government would be let
down easy were from MatthewB, Foster, Gar
field arid Dennison, and he thought Evarts.
Mr. Leete was then recalled, and said that
the members of the returning board in 1876
wire the same as in 1874 without exception.
In the census of 1875 it was deemed advisable
to swell the census of colored people aB hiph
as possible, so that the basis of registration
could be high, as every colored man was un
derstood to be Republican. The Democrats
ignored that census as a fraud. Witness was
told to find a large Republican census, mean
ing a large colored contingent. They told me,
Baid the witness, to find them, no matter what
1 did. I refused to do so. Only the lowest
count was taken in my parish, which showed
an increase of whites and decrease of colored
people.
Here A. Anderson was recalled by Potter,
who handed him the following letter, which he
identified as having received from P. B. Dar
rell. The letters "8. M." and "H. in the
letter he Baid meant Sherman, Matthews
and Harlan.
MOBOAN CITY, La., May 17.(Private)-^!*
DEAR SI B: I have your favor of late date, and
am pleased to hear from you. Marks has my
passes to use coming home, but will send them
to you as soon as he get* through. I hope he
will be appointed,but don't expect that or any
thing else that is decent from HayeB for Louisi
ana. His policy appears to be to" send Packard
away and turn over everything eke to our ene
mies in the party who will ensure Democratic
success next fall. For moself, in my district,
I prefer to have such people against me, If I
conclude to run I can be elected with
out patronage, and I prefer it.
I suppose "M did what he could, but
they evidently don't think you will do any
thing. Your letter, taken with your sworn
evidence, directly implicating ''8 M." and
"H.," is valuable. Use it discreetly, but don't
spare them asexcept '"M."they are the roost
unmitigated scoundieln I ever met. A miser

towns and ail the counties but one. A tempo
rary organization was effected by chousing
Henry Baldwin, of Nangatack, chairman.
After the appointment of committees the coa
\-ention took a recess till 2 P. M.
In the afternoon the platform was adopted t
follows:
WHEREAS, Both the old political parties havo
sanctioned legislation which has created exces
sive expenses, debt and taxation, fojtered
monopolies, diminished the value of all kinds
of property, except evidences of debt, and
brought upon the people all kinds of evils of
a contracted, fluctuating eurjvr.cy and,
WHEREAS, This policy has I'oruled piivilegcd
classes, changea the obligation of contracts,
lowered wages, thrown laborers out of employ
ment and produced an mormous amouuf. if
needless suffering and,
WHEHEAS^ Governments should discourage
great accumulations of we.iith in a few hands,
and should promote industry, frugality and
equal prosperity tor all therefore the National
Gieenuaek Labor party of Connecticut re
solves:
Article 1We denounce as crimes against the
people tho law making the greenback only a
partial legal tender, the act creating the na
tional bunking scheme, the act changing cur
rency bonds iuto coin bonds, tbe act exempting
bonds from taxation, tbe act repealing the in
come lax, the act demonetizing silver, the act
for issuing interest healing bonds for tho
purchase of silver bullion to be converted into
6ubsidij. coin, tlje act for forced resumption,
of legal tender payments, the act for an iudifi
uite increase of national bank circulation, and
the enormous conraction of the volume of cir
culating medium. We recognize the financial
legislation of the government from the com
mencement of the civil war as the derogatory
dictation of a syndicated' banker.-and usurers,
with tbe single purpose of robbing the many to
enrich the few.
Article 2To remedy and counteract tho
evils complained of, we demand that the gov
ernment shall issue a new legal tender puper
niour-y, adequate in volume for the employ*
nieni of labor, the distribution of its products,
requirements of business, and for the paj meet
of alt bonds in absolute money as soon as pos
sible, and no further ibsuo by the govemmeut
of any bond*.
Article 3 We call for the immoJiate repeal
of the so-called resumption act aud national
bank act, demanding tbe retirement at once of
national bank circulation and the substitutioB
thereof of full legal tender paper money.
Article 4The public lands belonging to all
the people should be sacrediy held in trust for
the homes of American ciizens, and the gov
ernment should furnish aid to families desir
ous of settling thereupon in an amount suffi
cient to enable them to cultivate and improve
the same, instead of squandering the public
domain upon corporatious or private specula
tors. We demand a graduated tax upon all
lands.
Article 5We demaun that the government
at once establish postal savings bunks lor tho
purpose of receiving de|iaitH by the people for
the safe keeping and loaning ot money to the
people on ample security, at a rate of interest
not exceeding the actual expense of creating
and loaning tne same.
Article bIn the language of Peter Cooper,
nothing can be bought cbeup from foreign
countries which must be bought at the ex
pense of leaving our own raw material unused
aud our own labor unemployed. Thereloie.
we demand a protective tariff on all articles of
which raw material is produced and labor to
manufacture the same is found in this coun
try, all articles which we do not or cannot pro
duce or mauufactuie to be admitted free.
Article 7Ati income tax based upon con
stitutional limitation aud graduating upwards,
but leaving untouched all incomes nuder
41,000.
Article 8That labor being the basis of n,
man's existence and tbfc source of all wealth,
deserves our first consideration. We therefore
demand that labor bureaus, State an well a-i
national, be established tor ihe collection of
statistics relative to 1 he producing classes, and
the management be given to competent men
known to be in sympathy with the design for
which said bureau is created, that wise, judi
cious and equitable iavtB may be enacted in
regard to hours of labor and the employment
of minors in manufacturing establishments.
Article UWc demand thorough relorm in
the system of public school education, so as to
establish agricultural, mechanical and commer
cial schools iu addition to our common schools
that all bookrt should be procurett at tbo ex
uense of tbe State government, and that net
less than one leotur uer week be delivered
upon the dignity of labor and its paramount
importance in iheuffuirs of men in every walk.
Article 10Equal taxation of all property
owned by individuals or crpuraiion^.
Articles 11, 12 and 13 demand reform in tho
administration of State nit irs, a general su
pervision of the railroads and other monopo
lies, and the abolition of con.'ict labor con-
14We are opposed to ihe importa
tion of servile Chinese labor to come in compe
tition with the tree labor of Ihe country.
Article 15We depiccate and denounce all
seditions ai violeut measures and ojipeul
only tothe good sense, laws of justice and pat
riotism of the people, and invoke them to rc
driss their cruel and outrageous wrongs only
through the ballot-box.
