dency.
WASHINGTON, Nav 9.-Individual men,
bers of the House Committee on the Judi
cisry have expressed themselves in opposi-
ton to the reporting Of the resolution for
the investigation Of the alleged Florida
Presidential election frauds as desired by
those who have initiated proceedings to
that end :. As the committee. have Mont
gomery Blair's resolutions before them
they desire to avoid the appearance of an
intention to consider them in connection
with the Florida question. the two subjects
being separate, they will be cautious that
they shall not be blended. one being desig-
mated to raise question Of the validity Of
President Hayes right to hold his office,
and the other merely calculated to elicit
facts in relation to the Florida action.
THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
will meet tomorrow to consider the sugges-
tions already i1ade to them as individuals.
Should they decide to wait for instructions
from the House, Gen. Williams, of Michi-
gan, will offer resolution, already pre-
pared, instructing the Committee on Judi
ciary to inquire into all the facts touching
the election, and authorizing them to send
for persons and papers, the preamble setting
forth as a ground of action the confession
of fraud by McLin, president of the board
Of State canvassers, who participated in
them, and gave the electoral vote to Hayes
and Wheeler. 1t is thought, from certain
indications to-day-thongh the assertion
cannot be made positively-that General
Butler will offer an amendment to such res
olution, instructing the committee also to
investigate the subject of the Presidential
vote Of louisiana Representatives Finley,
of Michigan, Davidson, Randall,
and several Others. held conference this
afternoon as to the best mode of proceeding

that a too sanguine view is taken of Count
Schouvalo6fs journey to St. Petersburg. 1t
is argued that he cannot have a mission
from the British government, unless the
latter has consented to abandon the idea of
European concert, and will treat directly
with Russia about special British interests.
1t is conjectured that Count Schouvalofi
may have had a personal object in wishing
to visit st. Petersburg. While Premier
Gortschakof is incapacitated for the duties
of Chancellorship the question of his
successor is in suspense. 1t is not unlikely
however, that Count SchouvalOf takes a

Meeiiag and PrOceediags Of their
state Convention az PhiladelPhia.
PHILADELPHIA, May s.-The National
State Convention was called to order at
Concert Hall, this morning, at halfpast ten
o'clock by the chairman, Mr.. Devices. All
Il counties in the State with few excep-
tons, have full delegations. The delegates
present number about two hundred and
thirty. A delegation of women, represent
ing the citizens Of tie Suffrage Association,
was on The floor at the opening Of the pro-
ceedings Chairman Devices, in his ad-
dress, reviewed the condition of the party,
stating that with thorough organization
there was no reason that entire euccess
should not be achieved in the next cam
paign. Dental Kirk was chosen temporary
chairman, and after appointing the usual
committees, the convention took a recess.
Upon re assembling, the Committee was
addressed by John Smiley, for many years
President of the Miners and Laborers' Be-
nevolent Association of Schuylkill county,
Mississippi. E. S. Farra, of the Citizens
Suffrage Association, made a short address,
asking the Convention to insert in its plat
form plank granting the right Of suffrage
to women. She was followed by other la
dies from the same Association.
A number of speeches, some of rather a
Communistic nature, were made. A COM
mittee on permanent organization and
platform were then appointed and a recess
taken until o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
F. w. Hughes was elected permanent
chairman, and it was stated that the COM
mittee on platform would not be able to
report until tomorrow. All efforts at an
adjournment were defeated, and the COM
mittee Oh resolutions were sent for and
came into the hall. A resolution was Of
fered proposing that the convention recog-
nize no candidate that has any utilization |
with old parties. This was amended so as
not to apply to the judiciary. The amend |
ment was lost and the original motion car
ried. Immediately there was
WHOLESALE DENUNCrATIoN
of candidates, and the widest confusion
ensued. Forty members were on their feet |
a, once, yelling for the ballot to proceed on
the Governorship, others moving to adjourn,
and still others gesticulating and bawling
at the top of their voices. Finally, a vote /
was taken, and it was decided to proceed to
ballot on the Governorship.
Two ballots we're taken for Governor, and \
on the second ballot S. X. Mason received
lis votes, and was unanimously declared
the nominee. Christopher Shearer was
for Lieut. Governor.
