WASHINGTON, May 14.-In the Senate the
friends of the President say he shows no dis
quiet whatever in view of the pending proceed

frauds, but exhibits the same apparent equa-
nimity of temper that has marked his conduct
ever since the Inauguration. He had not in the
past the slightest knowledge Of the frauds by
political managers in Florida and Louisiana
other than the published accusation on the
Democratic side. During the canvass and in

served and took no part whatever concerning
them, leaving the responsibility to those who
performed such business. President Grant,

Democratic members of the House was held
this afternoon Immediately after adjournment.
Representative Cymer occupied the chair.
The first question the Senate concurrent
resolution, proposing the 10th of June as the
time for closing the present session. The
House had postponed its consideration until
the 18th, tomorrow, Representative Wood
moved consideration be further postponed till
the 5th of June. This was disagreed to, and
on motion of Fran kiln postponement was ex-
tended to the 29th of the present month.
During debate it claimed the present
state of public business would not per-
nit day to be fixed for
adjournment and the House should hold this
power in its own hands. In addition to the
proposed investigation into election frauds,
some of the general appropriation bills and the
tariff and Pacific railway bills were to be acted
on, together with other pending business.

lief bill, there being many thousands of almost

sentative Potter, to investigate the alleged

lowing the Republicans to offer an amendment
to the resolution, but this, after debate, was
rejected Representative Young made motion
declaring that the Potter resolution was not
intended to disturb the title of President

that such declaration unnecessary the
preamble to the declaration clearly and dis
tinctly set forth the object of the proposed in
vestigation to be a vindication of the honor of
the nation and that the truth as to such
election shall be made known, and, besides, the
committee, under the resolution, had no power
to disturb the position of the President; and,
furthermore, the general sentiment of the
Democrats was to confinc the investigation
strictly to the question of frauds without
bringing into question the Presidential title.
In view of these statements, the motion was
not acted upon by the caucus which declared,
by a large majority, to adhere to the Potter
resolution, and instructed him not to yield tc
any amendment from the Republican side. Il
was also unanimously agreed that the resolu
ton should be finally acted On before any othe1
business was done.
On motion of Representative Wood, it was
resolved that all Democratic members of tn
city be notified to return to Washington, ant
after due notice, all existing pairs be declared
at an end. The resolution was adopted, re
