Special to the Star. THE TOTTER COMMITTER. Washington, June 22. Mr. Morrison presided at the meeting of the Potter Committee yesterday.

Captain Thomas A. Jenks, of New Orleans was examined. Ho said that in 1870 he was United States Deputy Marshal in Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, and related his story of the intimidation of Republicans in that Parish. An animated discussion between Messrs. Reed and McMa-lion ensued from this testimony, but the witness finally proceeded.

Witness testified to the signing and swearing to by Anderson of a document which Anderson said he had not sworn to. Anderson had asked witness to swear that he (Anderson) was drunk when he signed it, but witness refused. Never had seen any letter written by Mr. Sherman about the election of 1870. Did not think Weber's signature to the Anderson-Weber agreement, which was shown him, was genuine.

The witness was cross-examined, but before its conclusion the Committee adjourned. Washington, June 22. The Potter Committee was called to order at 10:20 this morning by Acting Chairman Morrison. Mr. Butler read a paragraph from a newspaper to the effect that Mr.

Stanley Matthews' refusal to appear before the Potter Committee was based upon the fact that he, Mr. Butler, was hostile to Matthews, and if the latter should appear Butler would insult him. Butler said that so far from this being true, if Mr. Matthews should now come into the room he would not know hi ni. He had never seen that gentleman but once in his life, and had no idea he was hostile to him and if i this was Mr.

Matthews' reason for not appearing, lie would say that if Mr. Matthews would signify any day when he would ap-; pear before the Committee ho (Butler) would on that day absent himself from the session. Mr. McMahon disclaimed having characterized the words of Mr. Reed at yesterday's session as willfully false and asserted he had made use of no such expression.

And was much Kurnrtsed to II ml him self so reported iu the morning papers, All Third Edition the members of the Committee, including Mr. Reed, corroborated this disclaimer. Mr. Jenks took the stand again to-day, and again denied uny knowledge of the Sherman letter, or that lie had ever heard of it previous to June 6th, when he heard I'itkin mention it. Anderson asked witness to go into a conspiracy with him to declare the election a fraud.

Mrs. Jenks was then called and sworn. She remembered the document, Anderson said he wanted it. It was last January. He called it the Sherman letter.

Anderson wrote a letter asking for a document some dead beats, who claimed to want a fair count for Louisiana, had given him. She had the document referred to only about two-and-a-half minutes, when she gave it to Weber. Don't think it was what they cull the original Sherman letter. THE MATTHKWS COMMITTER. The Matthews Senate Committee, after a two hours nnd a half private session yesterday morning, opened its doors, and James E.

Anderson took the stand. Being refused counsel, he declined to make any statements or answer any questions, and the Committee aenin went into private session. On opening the doors again, Anderson said that if Matthews would go before the Potter Committee he would testify. The Committee for the third time went into private session, but Anderson still relused to testity when the doors were again opened, and the Committee, asserting that they had no power to punish him for contempt, adjourned.

A somewhat odd and out-of-the-way suit, to recover damages, was filed in the Court of Common Pleas to-day. Mr. Ross H. Fenton, our Ex-County Treasurer, is the plaintiff, and Rev. Archibald C.

Wheaton the defendant. The plaintiff in his petition avers: That he has always borne a good name among Ins neighbors and acquaintances for moral worth and integrity, and that he was never suspected of the crime of obstructing a railroad in operation in Ohio; and the defendant, Archibald C.

LUCAS.

Her Transactions with Mr. Dennis An Examination Waived and the BaU beads Disappointed. Mrs. Lucas, whose alleged queer anal strange conduct with Mr. Dennis made ma much noise yesterday, is still the topic of conversation throughout the city.

She remained in jail last niglit, and this morning was arraigned in the Court. Her attorney, however, -was not quite ready to proceed with the case and wanted it postponed until this afternoon. The Prosecutor objected, and the Court finally settled the difference by naming 11:30 o'clock astha hour for hearing the case. It is now alleged that Mrs. Lucas baa been implicated in similar a flairs, namely, throwing trowsers and such like gentlemen's garments.

So, at least, says Frank Aspinwall, a grandson of Mr. Aspinwall, who is the proprietor of a jewelry store at the corner of the alley next to Reid's Hotel, on Fourth street. He says that about two weeks ago or a little more, one morning about 11 o'clock a pair of pantuloons was throw out of the window into the alley, lie picked them up and they seemed to lielong to a man of means. In one of the pocket was a roll of lulls containing about a. About two days after this, boom! wen another pair through the same window.

This pair was what is known us "pepper and salt," and contained only 50 cents and some keys. Young Aspinwall also carried this pair to the hotel. Then after an interregnum of one or two days a coat came flying out, and with such force that it landed on the roof of the jewelry store. Mrs. Lucas presently came down and told Frank to iret it and" she would give him quarter, which she paid the next day.

Three days inter anotnersnower oi ciornra came out of that window. A silk "tile" also found its way to the alley. This lot Prank again took up to Mrs. Lucas room, when he says he distinctly heard a man's voice on the inside. Then again in a few days a bolt of silk came down, and day before yesterday Usb last shower, the clothes of Mr.

Dennis, which resulted in Mrs. Lucas' arrest. When the hour for Mrs. Lucas' trial arrived, the Court-room was jammed to its utmost. Every seat was occupied.

Front twenty to thirty men had hold on the back of the prisoners' bench. The aisles on both sides of the room were crowded, and it waa an utter impossibility to get through. Th reporters' table was besieged by mea anxious to hear as much of the developments that were expected to be made, aa this was the best place in Court for a good hearing. The lawyers' table was in the same state, and even the Judge's bench and the Clerk's desk were taken possession ot There were Frank Ramsay, Dan. Wolt, Sam.

Smiley, Michaal Spaeth, Treasurer Knorr and a dozen others. In the room there were a dozen and a half of grey or bald heads, ali anxious to get as near the defendant as A11 of lawyers, reporters, doctors. co.fre(i white men, of every nationality, sce4 anxious to got into the true inwardness at the affair. Judge Jimmy, however, when all tha cases except that of Mrs. Lucas had been disposed of, got in some little strategy, namely, in this, that he ordered the crier to adjourn Court.

Thus was, however, for ouJjr a short time, and after a great number of the hangers-on had left, the case of Deiiuia vs. Lucas was opened. But it did not pan out as well as it waa thought it would have done by the bald heads of sixty years and over who still remain. When Ramsay was through with pounding his gavel Prosecuting Attorney Murphy told the audience they might as well home. They would hear nothing, as Mr-Campbell, on the part of his client, Mrs.

Lucas, had determined to waive an exaniia-tion. Mr. Campbell It is true, it is not necessary to repeat the facts, as the Court is already aware of them. I ask, however, that the defendant be allowed to go on her owm recognizance, or that her bail be fixed very low, say $100 or $200, especially as you ure aware that a conviction is impossible. Mr.

Murphy said the bond should he fired in proportion to the crime alleged. Mri. Lucas was accused of robbing Dennis oi $2,010 in checks and a gold watch and chide, Mr. Campbell insisted that the womaa could not be convicted, even if she were guilty, which, however he would not admits although and without doubt she was wrong in what she did do. Mr.

Campbell said: The woman, besides, has no ability for giving a large bond, and then, besides, the check was valueless. Murphy My check wouldn't be valuable even for a cent's worth. Campbell Then your check is greater than your check. Court What ability has she to gire bond? Murphy Perhaps none at all, but ate has abilities in some ways. Campbell Mavbe your client could tIL I don't think she could give more tliaa $200.

The Court ended the dispute by binding Mrs. Lucas over in the sum of I.aiv Suit Against the southern liailroad Debt. To the Editor of the Star: The citizens and tax-payers opposed to the present and future city debt for the Ferguson Road, are moving both privately and by an organization, with the purpose to get rid of that intolerable burthen. As one of these, my judgment would be to take i half-way measures. The whole indebtedness should be inquired into, for if the sixteen millions which have been wasted are to stand, then our goose is cooked.

We aro in the prostrate condition of 1'ret Ilarte'e member of the Geological Society, who floored by a piece of quartz from hisopponent in the argument, and lost consciousness to such an extent that subsequent proceedings interested him no more. He was for the tinio being as dead as Billy Patlemrm when struck with the brick in a street row. for which a dozen men claimed the honor, but the question who threw it, although of no sort of importance, has never been, settled. What wo want, first of all, is prompt relief from the daily inte-est of several tho- i sand on the sixteen millions. Whether Mr.

I Ferguson ask? us for two niillions more I further along, and lie will not do it, i('wn i dispute the constitulionalifv of the debt. The moment a suit is brought covering the whole ground, the citizens will be united in their opposition. Half measures are bad policy.
