Sterrett, or ALLEGHENY. Give Sherman a Chance. Asia well known, tbe Potter committee attempted to connect Secretary Sher man with tbe movement in Louisiana, during tbe late Presidential campaign that resulted in tbe rejection of tbe vote of certain parishes in tbe State mentioned. The vote that was re jected, it is alleged, was largely in uvor of Tilden. The Potter people believe that if they can connect Sher man with tie men who rejected the Tilden vote that they have something to preeent to the people of tbe country in the uext campaign that will enable them to elect a Democratic Congress by an overwudiiaing mij ruy aca secure a number of State Legislatures and tlius also, secure a majority of tbe Vaited Slates Senators. Secretary Key, and Congressman Stevens say, it means more tliau power in both houses, they claim that it means nothing short .f the ousting of Hayes. The Potter people say that if Til den majorities were thrown out, by the Louisiana board, that such throwing out of the vote constitutes a fraud. At first sijht, wha. tLey say appears face appearance. The rejection of tbe mate, to have the world so construct Tilden vt8 is a remit, and not a fraud, ! ed that every thought, word and ac the fraud lies back of that, the fraud is tkm of man is put on record, to be found in the systematic course of in j reiicijveti at tue judgment dav." timidatien that was carried on during ... , . . ,. , , , . ..i.!.- lewed in the lnnit of the Puono- rnontbs of time previous to the election whereby the republicans were so scar- j graph, the recording of the thoughts, ed that they did not vote, and if they words and actions of men for the did vote they voted far Tilden to save Judgment dav is a matter that to a tneir lives ana property, iuai is wuai has been alleged and if true, that con stitutes the fraud, and that was the reason certain votes weie thrown out. Tbe rotes were not thrown out without .. i- i . i i , - authority of law, for the State laws pro vide for the rejection of votes in dis tricts where intimidation and violence bave been practiced. The fraud was not in throwing out tbe votes but the fraud was committed when the right of the people to vote was outraged by keeping them from voting by intimida tion and violence. If the people were Bulldozed and intimidated from vot ing, then the Ileturn Board was justi fied iu throwing out such votes as bad been manufactured by the fraud on the right to vote. The majority of the .Republicans in the North believe that in many of tbe districts in the Southern Slates no fair election has taken place since tbe subjugated Confederates bave been allowed to take a part in matters f.f election. They would gladly te. Have diflerent'.y. They would gladly believe that the election in Florida, in Georgia, in Mississippi and in Louisiana and in other places bad been free from intimidation and violence. TLey be lieve that monstrous frauds bave been committed on the rights of tbe people in those states by a systematic course of violence aDd intimidation, but while they believe that violence and intimida tion Lave ruled the hour, and tbe day, wLea no superior force was near to prevent suiih rule, they are anxious to I ear evidence on bbth sides, and now that Secretary Sherman has aked the Potter committee for the rights to present evideuce to prove that violence aud intimidation were practiced, they ak that bis witnesses be put on tbe stand. The committee owe it to them selves net to allow the investigation to be one-sided. If the Republican party have been dec.-tved by false stories of violence and intimidation it is time that they know it, and the proof of such decep tion could not well be made by a more suitable man than Secretary Sherman, therefore give Siierman a chance to j resent witnesses to the committee to prove the first great cause f the throw ing out of tbe vo.es that were claimed for Tilden, if be fail to make good the charge of violence and intimidation apiinst tbe Southern people, tba Re publican party will bow itself in Lu- luiiity over the disgraceful dcoeptions that have been practiced on it, and wil! a.-k for tbe r-j-etion of every man who has been rjuilty of the deceptive work. Give Sherman a chance. Hajes Imposed On. Tbe frieuds of the Potter investiga tion were loud in tbeir declarations, that they wuu.d prove by written com munication that President Hayes, had, or personal consideration favored Au tier son for effiue, and when a resolution passed the committee that the Presi dent should scud in the communications relative to tbe appointment of the said Anderson, there was a general expres hion of exu'.tatioa. Tbe letters relative to the appointment of Anderson werj jrompily sent by the President to tbe committee, aud to bis credit, and hon or, and to the great discouifeiture of the cou.aii.tee tliey fully cleat tbe Pres ident. First came a batch of letters, from Senator Mathews, and others re commending Auderson for office, they were most favorably, drawn, and could not tail to impress tbe President in fa vor of the witness Anderson, and being thas impressed he answered one or two ,f the letter, aud asked the Secretary of State to appoiut Anderson to a con euMiip. Second, there was a batch of letters, that stated the character of An derson, wbicb when imparted to the 1 'resident caused l.iai to write to tbe Secretary of State, requesting biro to not appoiut Anderson if be had not already done so. The work of the committee thus far proves that hi An derson's case the Pre Hid en t wag impos ed on and deceived by recommendations from Senator Matthews aud others. Senator Matthews also declares tbat be was imposed on by tbe cunning man Anderson, Matthews asks for a Senate Comaittee to investigate bis case. nm . U. S.

Edison's Phonograph will receive, retain, and- recount expressions de livered af a distance of seventy-five feet It ia somefhing to almost mar vel over, that a machine has been in vented that may be ptersd in a rocm where a conversation is going on, and record the conversation, and re tain it, one hour, or one diiyy o" one month, and, when desired, recount the whole conversation as it was de livered. It ia wonderful that man can so acquaint himself w ith vibra tory sound, motion, and vibratory machinery as to construct such a machine. There is a lesson to be learned from the Phonograph. Its power to re tain and redeliver what has been said in its presence, is overwhelming evi dence in favor of the declarations of 6acred writing, that every word that a man utters, and every thought of his mind is recorded in the next world, and that when he gets there, the record that he made while in this I world will be presented to him and all present, and that he will be satis fied with the verdict that will be made on the record of his own making. Those who are inclined to be skep tical on the point of a record being vf a man's sayings and thongbts while ia this world, had better look at it in the light of the practical op eration of the recording machine in vented by Edison, and say to them selves, " If finite man can invent a machine that will or can record every word that a man says in its presence, and repeat what was said in its hear ing, at any time afterwards when de sired, how easy a matter is it for the God of all nature, animate and inani- certain degree may be understood. In other words, what a man can do with the Liws of nature in a limited sense, the God of all the laws of na ture can do in an unlimited sense Be careful what you think, how you act, and what you say. The Democrats in the Lower House have been so one-sided in their inves tigation views that they propose to investigate the late Presidential elec tion vote and returns, only in the States of Florida and Louisiana. Of course the Senate can start a supple mental investigation for Oregon and other places, where it is 6aid Tilden emptied one of his barrels of cash. Let the investigation go on by all means. One of the battle-cries of the Dem ocracy has been a cry against carpet baggers. Bat a little while ago they could not condemn the carpet-bag class too ruurh ; now, however, they do not play on that string ; they have quit denouncing the carpet-bagger since the nomination of Mr. Dill for Governor, as ho is a first-rate speci men of carpet brig adventurer, hav ing been born in the State of "Mary land. My Maryland." News from the plains indicate an Indian war, but then such news is but the common news that every summer brings. It is the kind of news that has been told every sum mer since the "whites" landed in North America, and it is the kind of news that will bo heard on through every coming summer until the In dian will have been numbered with the past. Such is the work of des tiny, but what is destiny? If Mr. Tilden and friends offered 1,000 and more for the vote of cer tain parishes in Louisiana, how much are they paying for witnesses in the Potter investigation t Referred to the Mexican Revolutionary Commit tee. Is the fifty-six years that have elapsed since Mexico secured her in dependence not a single President of that unhappy country has served out his term. This is the sort of thing the Democrats want to introduce in the United States. Cleveland Herald. King William is recovering from his wounds, and so is the would-be assassin. They say Germany is ready for Republican rule, but Republican rule never came through the hand of an assassin. The Potter investigation is a limit ed enterprise.

"How will the Democracy escape from the ridiculous situation ro which they are now held by the absurdity and absolute illegality of their propos ed investigation of tbe Electoral vote of 1S7G, with a view to ousting Hayes from tbe Presidency ? All tbe great lawyers of tbe etiwtry on both side of politics pronounce the propositions in tbo Potter movement revolutionary. It is not the way to proceed against a President who is alleged to bave com mitted a fraud, fla ought to be im peached, and then the facts as alleged brought out, but for a committee of one Hoe of Congress to proceed as Potter's conclave it now proeeeding is, ia tbe judgment of the ablest men of Congress, revolutionary.

IXYESTlUVriOX SOTES. " Potter's committee caught a Tar tar on Thursday when Judge Levis see testified that he, a Hayes elector, had been offered $100,000 to vote for Tilden." Anderson, the witness, of many crooked things, and contradictory stones, wanted an office badly. There are too many men of his class in of fice, by appointment, now. There are too many men in office now who are a disgrace to well, whoever appointed them.

Popular Science Monlk- A good deal of fear and a stoppage in the sale of sbad in New Jersey and New York has been occasioned by tbe discovery ot ascarid worms about an inch ia length occurring in tbe flesh aud on the gills of these fish.
