that about the number of forty-two South

two weeks before the Wormley's Hotel conference
took place. IN resisting every motion that essen

this evening to see General Hills list, and also to
learn what course the Democrats will pursue when
they catch f0rtY-twO members of their party in
what they have been pleased to denOunce

The truth about the conference at Wormley's
Hotel is that it affected and could affect only four
ortive votes just about the time it was held some
of the Louisiana Democrats became little alarmed
about the prospect of having the troops withdrawn
from their State either by President Grant
under the new Administration, when II
should be inaugurated. They therefore undertook
to bring to bear, not only uDon the friends
of General Grant, but also upon those OF Governor
Hayes, ali the influence they could command; the
result of this Effort the now famous conference
at Wormley's Hotel. II these Democrats had not
obtained the assurances which given them on
that occasion, fN six of them might have voted
with the flibusters but they did not have it in
their power to change the general result hat having
been determined by the pledge which Senator Hill

WASHINGTON, June 10.-It was reported to-day
that Senator Edmuuds, on account OF i'll health
would decline to serve on the Matthews Committee
on seven but he announced no such purpose in the
Senate. The three minority members of the
committee. however, asked to be excused. First,
Senator Davis, of Illinois, begged the Senate
10 excuse him from service on account of
ill-health, private business and the remoteness Of
bis residence from the seat of Government. His
request was promptly granted. Next, Senator
Whyte asked a similar indulgence, which was
granted because of sickness in bis family, which
reqUired his ATTENDANCE at home Finally Senator
Jones' of Florida said he hoped the Senate would
excuse him, also, as he lived great distance from
Washington and his business at home
imperatiyey demanded his attention. He
VAS also excused The Democrats seem
70 have thought that Senator Ferry President pro
tenn, ought to have consulted their side before
choosing from their number; and II is possible there
may have been some sensitiyeness felt because Sem
stoTs Thurman and BayaFd had, according to report,
been first offered the appointments During the
afternoon Senator Allison moved TO reconsider the
vote. by which the Senators were excused, and as
lhs molten was agreed 10 without opposition or
ienarE from the gentlemen themselves, II would
seen % indicate that the matter had been arranged,
ana t1st the labors of the committee would not be
great This is the current opinion tonight The

s,orpFp HOSTILE TO THE ADMINISTRATION
WHO BAKER Is.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
w,sHIYGToN. June 1O.-The Potter lnvesti-
..,;nc Committee made very little satisfactory
nrorress to-day. Several witnesses were present,
but no testimony of much importance was taken.
The most interesting feature of the days pro-
eaesings was tho development of what many OF the
Pepublcans believe to be General Buffers hostility
10 the Administration. He conducted portion of
tbe pouiry to-day. The evidence which he sought
N nroduce was Of no sort of importance IN itself,
hnt il did serve to illustrate his peculiar methods OF
procedure: and 1t is believed by the Republicans
tonight to disclose his purpose in regard to this In
yestigatiOn.
One of General Buffers witnesses was the manager
If one of the telegraph offices in this city, who
brought with him 500 word dispatch
from one Boulds Baker, addressed to Lieutenant
Goyernor Young, of Ohio, and Alfred Lee, who was
st that time Governor Hayess private secretary at
Columbus. giving suggestions in regard to Southern
men suitable to be placed IN the Cabinet. Among
the names was that of Judge d. NJ. Key. General
Butler's apparent purpose was to make out that
.JudQe Kew was appointed tOSthe Office of Post
master General at the suggestion of tins man
Baker and that Baker was subsequently, rewarded
for his zeal by being appointed special agent in
the Post Office Department. This whole subject
was apparently introduced as a means of leading up
to the WOrmley Hotel conference.
The story about Baker is an old one, and his dis
patch was published in Western papers some
months ago. The truth is that Baker was at the
time bangng about Washington with no visible
means Of support, and picked up here and there
crumbs Of information which gave him some insight
into the drift of political events. The result OF his
enterprise was embodied IN the dispatch in ques-
ton which contained nothing except what a hun
dred other people in Washington might have writ
ten az the same time. The subsequent appointment
OF Baker to a special agency IN the Post once De-
partment is not very creditable to Judge Key or
those through whose influence he got his place; but
il is possible that the character OF the man was not
50 well known in the Post Ofice Department as in
some outside circles.
