WAsHrsoroS, May 14.--The intimate
friends Of the President say that he shows
no disquiet whatever in view Of the pend.
ing proceedings in the House concerning
the alleged election frauds, but exhibits
the same apparent equanimity of temper
that has marked his conduct ever since
his Inauguration. He had not in the
past the slightest knowledge Of any frauds
BY the political managers in Florida and
Louisiana other than the published ac-
cusatious on the Democratic side. Dur
ing the canvass and investigation 10 these
States he took no part whatever concern
ing them, leaving the responsibility 10
those who performed such business.
President Grant, while the excitement
existed, suggested that gentlemen whose
characters were we'll known should go
there and examine into all the facts, so
that their report or conclusions should
inspire respect. President Hayes took
no part in the suggestions OF his imme-
liate predecessor, and did not interfere
in any way whatever all the time that
the Returning Boards were at'work, up
10 the latest hour when the contest was
closed. He regarded the general result
uncertain as TO either party in the con-
test. He received no communications
from any Of the Republican visitors to
those or any other States, nor was he in
the remotest degree complicated by the
proceedings OF bis friends In the mat
iers stated. In fact his intimate
friends say that during the period Of
the uncertainty Of his election, he mani
tested no anxiety TO occupy the Presiden:
tial Chair, leaving the determination Of
the question to others. The President
said this morning that there was nothing
new in the proposed investigation, but
while the frauds, ifany committed, should
be exposed, such exposure would not in
validate his title TO the Presidential
Chair, as this had been settled and de-
clared BY the Commission, constituted
under the solemn act Of Congress.
Vice President Wheeler, having re-
turned from New York this morning,
called upon the President, and having
subsequently been asked what the Presi-
dent said regarding the pending proceed
| ings in the House, replied that the Presi.
dent did not even allude to the subject.
NY visit was on other and entirely differ.
