It is, the intention of ' the" Potter
committee to go on with the Florida
part of the investigation, probably to
morrow, as Mr. JN oyes has requested
that bis testimony be taken at the
earliest convenience of the committee.
as he is anxious to arrange his affairs
ana return to France, after a visit to
Ohio. , He has furnished for the com
mittee a list of witnesses he is anxious
to have summoned. The cross exam
ination of Mr. Pitkin will be continued
after the Florida witness; at least,
such' was the intention of the commit
tee to-day. Mr. Kellogg and one or
two others will. then be examined, and
the committee will close proceedings
until after the return of the Louisiana
sub-eommittee. It is ' not expected
that the witnesses yet to be examined
will finish . before the . end. of next
w,eek. Among the Florida witnesses
are . Wm. E. Chandler and Dennis.
The, Western Union Telegraph Com
pany was called on to-day for copies
of all telegrams in reference to the

" ; THE SILVER DOLLARS. ; ' '
' The announcement has already
been made on the authority of the
Treasurer of the United States that
there are nearly eight million of sil
ver dollars on hand, and that the
Department has in vain tried various
methods to get them into circulation.
The weight of this immense aggre-
gate of silver is in the neighborhood
of three hundred tons, and the mints
are still coining the dollars. -The pre
diction of the silver men that these
dollars would go off like hot . cakes
does not appear to be verified.
Hendrlelt on the Potter Committee.
Special to the Baltimore American.
; - . Washington, June 25.
'.'' Hon.'Thomas A. Hendricks, who
is in the city, freely expressed his
disappointment at the failure of the
Potter committee thus far to accom
plish anything. He said that he sup
posed when Mr. Potter introduced
his resolution to authorize the inves
tigation,' and did it in the face of the
publio censure which had been passed
upon all attempts to revive the agita
tion of the electoral question, that he
had certain information which was
new, and that he had fortified himself
against every possible chance of fail
ure. : Up to this time, Gov. Hen
dricks admitted, the committee had
not been able to present any such in
formation, i For this reason he looks
upon the inquiry as ill-advised and
not calculated to effect the object in
view. Gov. Hendricks said of the
last Presidential election that all De
mocrats undoubtedly believed that
Mr. Tilden was fairly elected,' and
that the party, through the machine
ry and construction of - the Electo-j-ral
Commission, allowed that victory
to turn into a defeat.'
Hon. A. H. Stephen SpeaK.
; Augusta, June 26.
. A. H.Stephens spoke here to-night
to an immense crowd. He vindicated
his course on the - Potter resolution
by logic of subsequent events, and
declared he could not be ruled out of
the party by political tricksters. If
the coming District Democratic Con
vention failed to nominate him he
would appeal to the people. He said
Hayes was doing more for the South
than Tilden could have done, and de
clared he himself would die in the
temple of Jeffersonian Democracy,
free from party lash and caucus lasso.
