A Resolution on the Subject TO be Intro
duced Into the House.
Az EARLY ADJOURNMENT PROBABLE.


WASHINGTON, May j.-Owing to the for
wardness of the general appropriation bills
it is thought by number Of members Of
Congress an adjournment sine die can take
place towards the last Of July. They do
not suppose that the discussion of the tariff
bill will occupy more than a week and say
that time will be afforded for consideration
of the Pacific Railroad bills and other prom
inent public measures.
Agood deal of attention has been attracted
by the course Of the new Justice of the SUI
preme Court, General Harlan. of Kentucky.
in regard to appointments in that State. \
wcll-known Collector of Internal Revenue,
named Holden, who was noted for his
efficiency has Just been dismi ssed through
Harlans influence, in order that one OF
Harlans friends might be appointed. 1t is
stated al the Treasurydepartment that Harlan
is constantly interfering in the appointment
of subordinates in the Internal Revenue
service, ofwhom there large number in
his State. 4 few years ago such thing as
an attempt by Justices of the Supreme Cont
to manipulate executive appointments in
any part OF the United States would have
been an uheard of thing: but the change
that has come over the Supreme Court since
the demoralzing period of Grantism causes
these things to De overlooked now. 1t

were known, the Republican Justices OF the
Supreme Court possesses a good deal Of

THE ELECTORAL INVESTIGATION.
II is stated that Representatives Clarkson
Potter went to New York last night to show
| Mr.. Tildcn the resolutions for an invrstiga-
ton into the Presidential count which he is
about to offer in the House. 1t has been
decided not 10 offer the resolution Monday,
for the reason that on that day it will re-
quirc two-thirds vote to suspend the rules
and pass the resolution but to offer on Tues
day or Wednesday when it can be consider
ed as "A matter of the highest privilege.
Those having the case in charge prefer not
10 risk any chances Of obtaining a two-thirl
vote in its favor. as failure to secure its
prompt adoption at the outset would have IA
bad effect. \ prominent Democratic mem
Der of the House said to-day of the investi-
CATION, that even should it result in unseat.
NJ Hayes, it would not have the effect of
INSTALLING TIIDEN IN OFFICE.
He said il is necessary that Il President
should take the oath of Office on the fourth
Of March following his election. which he
says Mr.. Tildcn failed to do. He at first
intended TO take the oath in public man
ncr, hut abandoned the design as soon as he
learned of Grants determination to arrest
him on the charge Of treason and throw him
into Fortress Monroe, as an instigator of
sedition and rebellion, upon his appearance
at the Capitol for that purpose. That Grant
was prepared for such action and would
have seized Mr.. Tilden's person is well
known to many Of both parties. ana that
Mr.. Tidcn was restrained by his knowledge
of such peril is Of equal notoricty nprivate
circles.
THE TARIFF BILL.
Strenuous efforts will be made this week
to either lay the tariff bill on the table or
postpone it until next session. which result
would be equivalent to its defeat. Repre-
sentative Wood. however, is still sanguinc
that it will become law at the present
session.
THE FLORIDA FRAUDS.
There seems to be some uncertainty as to
whether u moymcnt will bcmade tomorrow
or Tuesday for IN investigation OF the allcg-
cd Florida Presidential frauds. Represent.
tative Springer is mentioned us authority
for the statement that n resolution to accom-
pany the report Of Ilair's Maryland resolu-
ton. rcopcning the Presidential question,
has been prepared by the Committee on Ju-
dietary. He has not seen the resolution,
but prcsumes |, will he similar to Blair's
resolution calling upon Congress to order
an investigation of the alleged frauds in
Florida and Louisiana, and authorizing the
appointment of Il committee to send for per.
sons and papers. It is not thought such an
investigation, if ordered. would ,c,upy
much time, as the Committee ON Judiciary
during the former Congress, thoroughly
examined the subject OF the Pres.
idcntial canvass in Louisiana and Florida
The most important addition to the facts
asccrtaincd by that committee would be
the deposition Of Mci.in and Dennis. to.
