Sheriff Arm a jo , upon receipt of tbeaetfjr < , hat a man tiaraed Kioi- iutico Piere had teen implicated In tho'mur3etr of Colonel Potter , who was in the employ of the interior de partment to collect mining statistics for the census bureau , sent two men and arrested him at Islet" , fifteen miles below Albanuerque. He denied all knowledge , until confronted by the sheriff , when he stated the facts which he said had been related to him by one of the parties to the murder , named Marineo Leybor. He was placed in the jail and securely guard ed , as a mob were determined to lynch him. The following day the sheriff , with six well armed men , and _ accompanied by Mr. T. O. f Colonel Potter's friend , startad < cf body of.tfcbh , ! ollwa > 8 , eft 'Ucttl Iweiity.'fi Villes from Albu quenjua they Itfi the road , and , fol lowing the trail , came upon the d a < bodies "of two horses , one Colohe Potter' * , and the other fcne bolone < to the robbers. A pile o ! athea ant half burnt bruth wli desi na'ted bj Escalaslioo alt containing the I'emaTn ; of the murdered mn , and &a&l ue ing madea few bcj&s , some scraps o ; clothing fen'd a number of peculiar but- ti&a were found The latter were identified by Mr. VBn Zindt as belonging longing to Colonel Potter. scalae- tico , who bad strenuously denied hav ing been a TVitnBsi to the murder , then gateas all have reason to be lieve , a truthful account of the tragedy : The Colonel , who left Tejahoras on the morning of October 6th , met two men on the ro d , from whom he in quired the direction to Las Places. They directed him to a trail , bcr ceely to mislead him , he belug at "the time on the directed road. When they sep arMed the two men made X detour , anu , reaching the polni tyhlch Potter mu t pass , nnw Mm disaount In the act of lighting hta pipe , They then opened fire on him , the first s&ot striking on his knee. > an causing him to fall to the ground. Potter drew his weactm ahd shot ono of his assailants m the arm. The second shot tvok effect in Potter's breast , and Ilia re turned fire killed a horte of ono of the robbers. Potter's horse then fell dead from a bullet , and a few seconds later was followed by hla unfortunate master. The bandit * , after robbing the body of all.but the clothes , they being too bloody to safely take , cov- trod it with brush , which , being fired , soon , as they thought destroyed all trace of their crime. Further Inqul.y elicited the fact tnat two of the as- llantB of Potter were living in ths mountains not far from the spot of 'he murder , and a party at once sur- ounded their house effecting their apture. The same means that had been so successfully engaged In the instance of Esoalastlco , produced con firmatory confessions from them , with he additional information that the robbers who had been wounded by Potter , was no less a personage than Marino Lybor. He had been known o have presented a watch to Pendle- ton Myra. This watch answered the dlecrlptloa of one worn by Ool. Peter er , and the fact of Marino appearing at tbe same time , with a wounded arm , which injury be ascribed to a fall a from his horse , convicts him in the minds of all men as one of Potter's murderers. The watch was traced rotn the hands of Mira to a pawn sroker in Albuquerque , but the case had already been melted when a de mand for It was made by the sheriff. An Inhuman Act. flpedil DItptlcb to The BM. DcaMoiKES , la. , February 2 1 B. m.

Tnere is no prospect of an adjourn ment , as neither side wUl yiel'd. Mk Gladstoua a' d the government party &re not inclined to abandon their de mand for a division on the main ques tion of Mr. Forster'a coercion bill , while home rulers continue th'elr ob- struotidn tactics. Scandalous scenes are of frequent occurrence , and sharp passages at arms between the two aides. Both parties are working on the relay system , -.and whips are busy and vigilant. The kouso has never preientod a moro exalting appearance. The debate in the house of com mons on Mr. Forster'a bill still con tinues , amid countleas scenes that defy description. The tories repeatedly urged the speaker to enforce the rale against obstruction ) aild expel Mr. Parnoll , but the speaker refused to do 10. Finally the tories , led by Sir Stafford Northeoto , marched out of the house amid much noiae and the jeers and laughter of the home rulers. During the confusion , Mr. Biggar sailed Mr. Milbank a bloody fool , and threatened to fight him. In reply he called Biggar an impudent scoundrel. The abuse of members is increasing , and the speaker is almost powerless In preserving order. The Irishmen are sleeping on the benches , while- others are eating and drinking. It Is aow only a question of physical strength , and the sitting is likely to last for a number of days.

THe reSolutioiijpfter , acme discus- iou , went over tlnclct th ililvs. Artef the introduction of several unimportant bills and reports from committees not of genernl interest , Mr. Harris called up hia rcaolution providing thntnt theojnclusion of the morning bmlncsa fct each 'Uj the senate - ate will p'roceed { o tno consideration of hodsa L'HJs thrit htivd been favor ably reported , nnd contlnu'o uttch con sideration hntil 1:30 o'clock , the reaolution ft-.s Considered until the close of the morning houf , when the regular order was demanded. Mr. KirKifOod replied to the speech of Mr. Duff es yesterday on the killing of thoPonca chief , fiig Snake , aud defended the secretary of the Inletiur from an implication by Mr Dawes that official papers haJ been withlipld intentionally ffom the ooramiiluC , ahd showed from printed oviaeuce that erorythlng mstenal in the report , which tbe secretary asserta was over looked , under the supposition that it had been informally delivered , was lu po3-03slbnof' ' the , oommltteej and that In Addition to official papers they had the testimony of three or four Indiana trho were present at the time Bi Snake was killed. Ho next referred to a reflection cast by Mr. Daw > B upon" the agent of the Poncas ( Mr. Whitman ) , and defended the conduct of that officer. If hi * courao was wrong , congress , which made the law under which he acted , was responsible for the wrong. After a protracted controversy bo- treen Messrs. Dares aud Kirk wood , in relation to the action of the secre tary of the interior in respect to tbe Ponca Indians , the pension appropri ation bill iras considered by the senate. Mr. L'jgan said he intended to call up his bill placing General Grant on the retired list , but as the morning hour had long since expired , bo asked the senate to agree to vote upon it at 2 o'clock Tuesday. Mr. Elton objected , on the ground that there were matters of gravo" im portance before tbe senate , and he thought this bill could wait without injury to the bill or its purpose. The pension appropriation bill was then taken up and considered , aud un amendment adopted appropriating $18,282,306.08 for the deficiency In the pension appropriation for the cur rent year. Mr. Withers then offered what is known as the sixty surgeon bill as a further amendment to the bill. Thla led to a heated debate on ihe pension administration and its allegations of stupendous frauds upon tha pension fund through fraudulent claims. Messrs. Wi'hers , Davis , of West Virginia , and Cameron , of Wisconsin , defended the commission , and insisted tha' . a change in the law was necesary , while Mr. Logau declared that the oommiajion wss incompetent , and hos tile to the interest B of soldiers , and the fault was not in the law , but in its admibistration. Without deciding a point of order raised by Mr. Teller against legisla tion on an appropriation bill , the senate - ate , at 4:30 : , went into executive ses sion , and soon thereafter adjourned. HOUSZ. The house mot at 11 this morning. The morning hourwas dispensed with , and the house went into committee of the whole on the District of Colum bia appropriation bill , Mr. Converse , of Ohio , in the cbair. The entire day was spent in considering the District of Columbia appropriation bill. A number of amendments were discuon- ed , but no material change wai made In the bill , and the house adjourned without having disposed of the bill. CAPITAL NOTES. Spedal Dlipatchea to The B c.
