WASHINGTON, May 10-HoUsE.
In the debate on the Tariff bill,
Kelly, of Pennsylvania, said the
wool grower of the West could get
no price for his wool because the
wool manufacturer of the East did
not know what the tariff was to be,
and did know that IL this tariff was
to prevail his mill must go with
the millions of idle capital now
rusting out. With FORCES, fur
naces and factories entirely closed,
how would the working people be
fed, and what army would keep
them in order? No one could tell
whether the pending bill would
most promote free trade or protec-
ton.
If it were free trade bill it was
against the tendency and drift of
the age. Even England was be-
ginning to realize the sad mistake
she made when she did not confine
freedom of trade to raw materials
and food. To borrow O simile from
former Oregon Senator, the bill
was like mule, with no pride of
anoestry,-nothing like it ever
having gone before and no hope Of
posterity. He declared that some
iron men had been bullied into
giving reluctant assent to SOL me
features of the bill.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Individ-
ual members of the House Commit
tee on Judiciary have expressed
themselves in opposition to report
ing resolution for Investigation
into the alleged Florida Presiden-
tial election frauds, as desired by
those who have initiated proceed
ings. AS the Committee have the
Montgomery Blair resolutions be-
fore them they desire to avoid the
appearance of an intention to con-
slider them in connection with
Florida, the two subjects being sep
arate. They will be cautious that
they shall not blend them, one be-
ing designed to raise the question
of the validity of President Hayes's
title to hold his office, and the other
is merely calculated to elicit facts
in relation to the Florida election.
The judiciary Committee will meet
tomorrow to consider the sugges.
tions already made to them
as individuals. Should they
decide to wait for instruc-
tons from the House, General
Williams, of Michigan, will offer
resolution already prepared, in
structing the Committee on Judi
ciary to inquire into all the facts
touching the Florida election, and
authorizing them to send for per-
sons and papers. The preamble
will cite as q ground of action the
confession of fraud by Nc Lin, Pres
ident of the Board of State Can
vassers, who participated in it, and
gave the electoral vote to Hayes
and Wheeler. 1t is thought from
certain indications to-day, though
the assertion cannot be made posi-.
lively, that General Butler will
otter an amendment to such resolu-
ton, instructing the Committee
also to investigate the subject Of
the Presidential vote of louisiana.

peal. White and Beck favored re-
peal.

an movement in this locality.

here and some money and arms

CHICAGO, May 10.-Leon Chau-
teau, a delegate of the French Com

act on his proposition.
II. bate On the RcsmEnpiton Bi,I.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-In the
debate upon the Resumption bill in
the Senate, Herman favored the bill
as it came from the House.
Matthews urged that January 1st
was the proper time for the act to
take effect. An earlier time would
make it retroactive. He wanted
the bankrupt law to continue as it
is, but, seeing that its repeal was
foregone conclusion, he would vote
for making the act repeating it take
effect September LIST, as that was
better than immediate repeal.
Motions to adjourn till Monday
were rejected.
