WASHINGTON. May 81.
The Democratic National Committee,
to-day, will consider chiefly the proper
course of the investigation under the
Potter resolution. The extreme Demo-
Gratis propose that Wlen conclusive
evidence is found that the electoral
votes of Florida or Louisiana should
have been counted for T1iden, a reso-
luton should be presented in the
House declaring the seating of the
President and Vice President illegal,
and that a vacancy exists In their
offices. If this passes both Houses,
Congress will no longer recognize them,
but will recognize the President OF the
Senate, who ii is expected will be Thur
man. This scheme is unlikely to be
pursued. Potter has gone to- New
York to consult Tilden, and the COM
mittee will not be organized until he
returns.
Representative Potter has been in
consultation with several members of
the Florida and Louisiana Investigation
Committee. lie says that he can not
yet tell when the committee will or
ganize for business, but perhaps to-
morrow. Potter has not yet received
any communication from Secretary
Sherman to the committee with refer
ence to the Investigation.
Secretary Sherman has written a
letter to Representative Potter, in
which he says that the charge made
against him, in the preamble to the
celebrated resolution, that he induced
the election frauds in certain parishes
of Louisiana by promises OF rewards,
is absolutely and wholly untrue, and
invites inquiry to establish tue truth of
his denial.

of Nevada, if here, would vote for the
bill.

pass the Shields bill with the Grant
amendment.
The action of the Senate Finance
Committee, this morning, authorizing
a favorable report upon the House
bill to forbid a further retirement OF
the United States legal tender notes,
was taken without a formal vote, i'll

result Of putting a stop to legislation
for any further amendment of the
Specie Resumption law.
