The Committee of Eleven. WASHINGTON, June 1--At the meeting of the Potter committee to day all the members were present. Jas. E. Anderson was the first wit ness. He testified that he had seen the document known as the Sherm-an protest. It had been altered, and was not the same as when signed by him, Anderson. There were two or three additional paragraphs to the document, and it was filled in in sev eral places, and Anderson was of opinion that because he wodld rot carry out the ideas of Kellogg and others they were desirous of driving him. out of the parish. Kellogg wished Anderson to rally the negroes at two polls and let the others go Den:o cratic, remarking further that witness could get up a disturbance and have Democratic votes thrown out. A document was produced pur porting to be an affidavit signed by witness and Weber, supervisor of West Feliciania Parish, wherein they refused to sign a protest against the elections in their parishes. The original of this affidavit, witness said, was recently in the possession of Stan ley Matthews. Witness and Weber had an interview with Sherman at Molair's restaurant in New Orleans, and Sherman said: "Gentlemen, I understand there is difficulty in your respective parishes. This is the time when the assistance of every Repabli can and true patriot is needed, and I trust that you will stand by us." They were assured by Mr. Sherman that they would be cared for, as Mr. Hayes could control the Federal pat tronage. All he desired was for them to stand firm and let the record run along as it is. Witness presented what purported to be a copy of a let ter from Sherman, but the Republi cans objected to its reading until Sherman had seen it and recognized it as a copy of his reply to Anderson and Weber. * * * * The following copy of a letter,. alleged to have been written by Weber and Anderson to Sherman, was produced: "We have carefully considered the arguments used by you, which if we comply with, we will have to leave the State. Will you tell us in writing whom we shall look to for the fulfil ment of your promise ?" Anderson identified the following as -a letter he had written to Weber; "Packard is raising hell over your re fusal to protest, Morey has been following me ever since my return. I am in doubt whether he is acting for Democrats or Republicans. There is no doubt that they changed my state ment so as to make an investigation protest. Make up your minod as to what you had better do. I azs op posed to doing the d-d rascal's dirty work. If we pull together, Packard, Kellogg, Hell and the Re turning Board cannot carry the State for Hayes. We are young, and if we win can get a reputation that might take us years to regain." Witness stated that he had asked Mr. Townsend to subpoena him be -fore the Morrison Committee, when he watin New Orleans, and that Gov ernor Kellogg had come to him in the afternoon and, said, for God's sake not to do it ; that there ought to be no question asked him which would lead to others, which would ruin the whole thing. Secretary Sherman was placed on the witness stand. Chairman Potter submitted to him the letter which Anderson claims was written by Sher man to Weber. and himself. After reading it carefully Secretary Sher man said that he had never written such a letter ; at the same time he said there were things in the letter he would have written, but he does not believe he wrote it. * Mr. Macmahon called for the read ing of the letter. Mr. Hiscock objected. A vote was taken on reading the letter, and it was adopted by a party vote, except that Ben Butler dodged. The letter was read, as follows: "New Orleans, November 20, 18'76. D. A. Weber and James E. Ander son. Gentlemen : Your note of even date just received. Neither Mr. Hayes, myself nor any of the gentle-, men with me can forget the obliga tior.s under which you will have placed us if you stand firm in the po sition you have taken. . From a long acquaintancc with Mr. Hayes, I am justified in assuming the responsibiiity for the promises madein guaranteeing that you shall be taken care of." The letter concludes with an assurance of protection if they leave the State, and is signed John Sherman. Ander'son testified that he made an applIcation to the President for a consulship, and that the President endorsed the paper in his ease to Sec retary Evarts : "Please appoint this man to a consulship in some warm climate. This is a special case. R.B.BYS A JHoME TKRcs.-Rebus, in the Edgefield A dvertiser, says: Mr. Cal lison's quotation from the speech of Lieutenant-Governor Sitapson, at An derson. and his adoption of the senti ment praising the present Democratic government of South Carolina for sav ing two millions of dollars "by not stealing" that sum, reminds me of the school-boy's composition on pins,which he read out as follows.: "On Pins Pins are a very useful article. They have saved ihe lives of thousands of people-who have been saved by not swallowing them."

Con. Com. 1878. 1,319 F. St. 9th West, Washington, D. C., Eugene Hale, Chairman, George C. Gorham, Sec retary. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27, 1878. SiR: This committee, charged with laboring for the success of the Repub lican cause in' the coming campaign for the election of members of Con gress, call with confidence upon you, as a Republican, for such a contribu tion in money as you may feel willing to make, hoping that it way not be less than -. The committee deem it proper, in thus appealing to Repub licans generally, to inform those who happen to be in Federal employ that there will be no objection in any offi cial quarter to such voluntary contri bution. The importance of the pending struggle cannot easily be exaggerated. That the Sanate is to be Democratic after the 4th of March, 1879, is very nearly a certainty. In view of this, the election of a Democratic House of Represantatives would precipitate upon the country dangerous agitations, which would inevitably add to present distresses. Foremost among their schemes, the opposition announce their intention to attempt the revolutionary expulsion of the President from his office. If, by the presentation of three candidates for the Presidency in 1880, the people should fail to choose, the House .aust elect-each State dele gation casting one vote. From what is now known, and with the growing dissensions in the camp of the enemy, the committee have good reason to enter upon their work with courage. Please make prompt and favorable response to this letter, and remit at once, by draft or postal money order, to "Sidney F. Austin, Esq., Treas urer, etc., German-American National Bank, Washington, D. C." By order of the Committee. GEORGE C. GORHAM, Secretary.

THE OHARLESTON BAGGING FAC TORY.-The Charleston Bagging Fac tory which began operations about a week since, and which has now a force of thirty hands at work, fifteen of whom are females, all from this city, is beyond peradventure a complete success. The last week has been de voted to the instruction of the few hands in the, to them, new business of manufacturing bagging. The first roll of fine bagging, as good as the best Northren brands, was turned out yesterday.~ The Journal of Commerce representative visited the factory yes terday and witnessed the process of manufacturing from the time the jute was put in the-."softener" to the time it came out of the "loom." The jute is placed into the softener, whence it is reduced to a pliable condition ; thence to the "picker ;" the "breaker card," the third process ; then receive the material, whence it emerges as "silvers." These "silvers" pass in to the finishing card, and come out ready for the spinning frames. It is then spun on bobbins and placed in racks ready for use. There are six spinning frames and ten looms, only two of which were at work yesterday. Mr. Falconer, the superintendent, is assisted by Mr. John Mickle, of Ohio, and is an expert in the business. The engine is run by Mr. T. H. Symmes. It is the intention of those who man age the factory, to employ about sixty operatives, three-fourths of whom will be females, mostly girls; thus afford ing cmployment to, a number of re spectable persons whose condition may force theni to seek enmployme-nt in this direction. No persons will be per mitted to visit the factory until the operatives are sufficiently instructed in the duties to which they have been assigned, as it interferes with their instruction and retards the work. -Journal of Comnmerce, .May 30th.

On the 4th of January last while Mr. Geo. Rouse, of Charleston, was on his way home he was fired upon by Mr. F .A. White, at the corner of Broad and Meeting Streets. The fire was returned and several parties took a hand, some being wounded. Wednesday Mr. White was tried for assault and battery with intent to kill, and was found guilty of assault and battery. The presiding Judge, T. J. Mackey, fined him one dollar. Is Justice indeed blind, or is it only a fiction of the law that says so? D ;s the fabled Goddess ever catch a glimpse' of a prisoner's pocket-book, or does she ever see the circle in which a defendant moves- If Justice has no eyes of her own perhaps she sees through others' eyes. We have seen a poor, friendless convict sent to jail for a whole year for shooting and wound ing his fellow man, and we have seen another of higher social stand ing pay a nominal fine and go about his business. Justice should be as impartial as Death itself. Cui Bono? The News and Cow-ier says: "Senator Edmunds has sent to the Senate Committee on Appropria tions an amendment to the appro priotion bill providing that if the Potter investigating committee re ceive 820,000.for expenses the Sen ate contingent fund shall also have placed to its credit $20,000, to be used for any investigation the Sen ate may wish to make during the session. The plain meaning of this is that the country will be blessed with two investigations and two re ports, one of which will be received as gospel by the Democrats and the other -be swallowed whole by Re publicans. What good will it do to either par-ty ? Kasson, Minister to Austria, and Noyes, Minister to France, have been summoned before the investi gating~committee at Washington. A. H. Stephens thinks the investi gation will cost the country at least one million. It is, therefore, a very pertinent question, Is the game worth the candle ? It is generally under-stood that no attempt will be made to unseat Hayes, but only to prove that he was not elected. One million dollars is a pretty big price to pay for proving what everybody knows. Even the Republicans have quit claiming that he was elected, and place his title on the Electoral Commission. Senator Butlpr Goes to Paris.

Sin:e the recent attempt to as sassinate Emperor William of Prus sia, it has been ascertained that Nobelgen, the would-be assassin, belonged to an organized band of socialist conspirators, whose object is the death of the Emperor. They drew lots, and it fell to Nobelgen to make the first attempt. Gov. Hampton visited Hayes at Washington last week. His object was to secure the release of several South Carolinians confined in Alba ny Penitentiary, convicted under Ku Klux prosecutions, whom Gov. 1 Hampton thinks were convicted illegally. Hayes promises to in vestigate the matter at once and to extend Executive clemency if merit ed. A sub-committee of three, com posed of Hunton, Springer and Hiscock, have gone to Florida to take testimony in regard to the election frauds in that State in 1876, as provided by the Potter resolutions. Three others go to Louisiana, while five remain in Washington. In the U. S.

Two tracts of mountain land were sold on sale-day at very low figures. One tract of 300 acres brought one dollar per acre, and another tract of 160 acres was sold for only fifty dollars.

To the Honorable J. 1. Hudson, Presiding Judge. We, the Grand Jury for the County aforesaid, beg leave to make the fol lowing presentment to your Honor: That in the discharge of our official duties we have examined the various County offices, and find them neatly and correctly kept ; the books and pa pers in good order, and vouchers for all disbursements. The Jail we find in a very cleanly condition, apparently secure, and the inmates comfortably cared for. The Court House is in need of some slight repairs; but we deem it unne cessary to itemize them, but merely to call the attention of the County Com missioners to the fact. There is a marked improvement in the management and condition of the. Poor House, and we recommend a dif ferent arrangement of several of the out-houses, whereby they could be utilized to the convenience and com fort of the paupers. The Roads and Bridges in certain portions of the County have been re ported as in bad condition. We would, therefore, earnestly recommend that the County Commissioners per sonally inspect the Roads and Bridges of the County and have them put in good repair as early as possible.

EDITORS OF THE HER ALD : The calamity which befell Rock Hill, the night of the 3d inst., you have heard of through your erehanges. To detail the circumstances which led to the disaster, and the sadness en tailed thereby is unnecessary. But that terrible night canrnot be forgotten by the sufferers and witnesses of the awful scene. When the cry of fire was given, I hastened to the scene, and saw at once that all the buildings in that portion of the town were doomed. A high wind from the South drove the devouring flames up Main Street to Owens' Confeetionery, con suming in their angry rush all the stores from Sharp's Corner to that point. Then turning Northward along Depot Street among a line. of Bar Rooms and Dry Goods Stores, the de struction became complete. The ex plosion of kerosene, powder, and whis key barrels .gave an awful impetus to the devouring element. The lurid glare of the flames against the dark ened clouds which hung ia silence over the town, gave the painter at least the background of a picture, oat lined by Peter concerning the fires of the great day. The scene furnished lessons for the thoughtful. So rapidly were the buildings in this fated dis trict consumed, that in less than ti,o hours from the time the alarm was gven, the counting-room where the book-keeper made his last entry for the night, and the billiard saloon,.in which festivity an~d the bacchanal's song rang out on the evening air, - lay in blackened ruins. The strange let lers : "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin" were written, but we may fail to in terpret and profit by them. Insurance agents are here adjusting losses, and soon the carpenter's saw and the mason's trowel will be heard in the burnt district. The energy of the Rook Hill merchanxts will enable them to be in new buildings, ready for the Fall trade. Before the ashes were cool the bar room men entered anew on their work of destruction.

FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5, 1878. The agreement to adjourn on the 17th inst., did not induce House or Senate to hurry in the consideration of public business. Both bodies were dull as country villages in a hot sum mer day. The Potter Committee was not in session, the conference commit tee on appropriation bills made no re ports, and, in fact, nothing was done of interest except the adoption, by the Senate, of an amendment to a House bill, by which amendment subsidies are given to two lines of steamers-one from New York to Brazil and the other from New Orleans to Brazil. Senator Hamlin tried, ineffectually, to secure a restoration of the franking privilege. Ever since the venerable Senator's late visit to Maine, he has betrayed an anxiety about the politi cal condition of his section of the State that is unusual with him. This attempted revival of the franking priv ilege is simply an indication that he and other Republicans see the need of sending to the people the old fashion ed piles of speeches and documents. The Republicans voted for the restora tion, and the Democrats against it. The testimony of Anderson before the Potter Comimnittee will be resumed to-day. Anderson will be cross-exam ed by Gen. Butler, and the latter was closeted with Secretary Sherman yes terday for a couple of hours. Ander son has heretofore made statements not exactly consistent with some he made while testifying on Saturday. His present statement, however, has the substantial backing of docuinentary evidence, was made with every appear ance of truth, and created a decided sensation. He seems to have estab lished the fact that Sherman and Stan ley Mathews knew of his intention to commit fraud in preparing papers to secure the throwing out of the vote of a Parish which had gone Democratic, an.d that they promised hiri protection and pay. This is a plain statement of the facts. Unless his testimony is impeached or the alleged letters of Sherman and Mathews proven forge ries, it is difficult to see how either of these men can remain in public life. It is- also noticeable that Sherman swore, when before the Comnmittee, that when at New Orleans he wrote many letters intended to influence the action of Louisiana officials, though when there he, Garfield, Hale and others declined to unite with visiting Democrats in a proposed course, be cause, they said, it would be manifest ly improper for them to attempt to in fluence affairs. Altogether Secretary Sherjnan and Senator M~athews are in a bad fix. The first day of the inves tigation settled that. The view Mr. Hayes takes of it is shown by his hav ing telegraphed to Evansville, Indi ana, to which place he had promised to be to-day, that he would remain here "owing to political complica tions." It is said that if Senator Mathews appears before the Commit tee, and it is not seen how lie can avoid it, an effort will be made to prove by him the "guilty knowledge" of Mr. Hayes. Two noted hotels close this week the Metropolitan and Willards. The former is the oldest in the city and was well known in earlier days of the Republic as the "Indian Queen Tav era." It is said that recent e,vents have revived bad feeHng between Senator Gordon and Senator Conkling. The trouble between them was siupposed to have been settled, the absurd doen. went signed by Setiator Hamlin and others being taken by the public as evidence of the fact. I suppose no other Senator ever lost prestige and strength in one session as Conkling has in this. Certainly none ever gained more of them than Senator Gordon has done. In the original. quarrel the fault was Conkling's, and the forbearance was Gordon's, and all the Senators so understood. SOLON. A Pen Picture. A few months, or even weeks, since, her pallid countenance was the very type of ruddy health-the delight of the school and the pride of the house hold. She was always welcome wher ever duty or pleasure led her. Dilli gent, punctual, and exemplary, in the lass room, obedient and loving at home, she won the hearts of all. But las ! those glowing cheeks and lips re now blanched by consumption. T'he voice once so enchanting in. augh and song is feeble, husky and roken by a. hollow cough. Let us pproach her couch. and gently ake her bloodless hand in our own. Do not shudder because of its feeble assionless grasp.

It allays the irritoble cough, i,iproves the appetite and digestion, and sends a healthy tingle through her whole being. The blood is emiched, ner vous power increased, and the heart bounds with a new impulse. Her face brightes-the blood is returning, her voice is clearer, and her requests are no longer delivered in that peev ish, fretful tone so deadening to sym pathy. Her step is still faltering, but strength is rapidly returning. Let us take her out in the warm. life-eiving sunshine. In a few weeks she will go without our aid and be able to join her companions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her whole being "warmed and expanded into perfect life." The change is so great that we think she is sweeter and nobler than ever before. And the medicine which has wrought this transformation, we look upon as a blessing to humanity, for there are other loved ones to be rescued from the grasp of the insidious destroyer. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has raised her. It will raise others. Why will You Pine Away? WITHOUT A PARALLEL-The demand for Dr. J.
