INVEsrEGATInG FLORIDA.

Our Washington correspondent IN
formed our readers, yesterday morning
that all was now ready for the opening
by Congress, Of the proposed inquiry into
the Electoral frauds; and our dispatches
this morning bring as the full text Of the
premises upon which the inquiry is to be
based and the resolution authorizing and
directing the investigation. The object OF
this inquiry has been mi:cOnceived in
many respectable quarters. 1t is not, AS
has been assumed, for the purpose of un-
seating Mr.. HAYES, nor is it in the per-
sonsl interest CT Mr.. TILDEN. But it is
due 10 tho honor OF the Republic,
10 honesty in politics, and to the
truth of history, that the absolute truth
in the matter be known. The inVesLiga-
ton il not urged to right party wrongs,
nor for party advantage, nor for personal
preieGment All these were yielded with
patriotic regard for the peace Of the
country, when the Democrats consented
70 the Commission which placed the seal
Of legality on the greatest fraud Of which
history makes record. 1t IS that the
truth may be made to appear in the sight
of all men, and that fraud and the re-
sponsIblity Tor fraud, may be stamped
and fixed IndeIibly for warning to
these who are to come after up. This
consideration raises the proposed Inves-
tgation above the plane of partnership
and places it where it belongs, among
the unpleasant but grave political ne
cesslties of the day. For it must not
be forgotten that this is no hsp-hazard
search for unknown criminals. 1t is
not proposed to set q smelling committee
at work scenting for possible corruption,
No drag-net is to be cast 70
bring IN whatever may chance to
stick in its mcshes, The great crime
has been confessed by the very men who
perpetrsted it, and inquiry is to be made
only as to whether these good Republi-
cans tel the truth when they declare that
they falsited the record, perjured them
selves, and robbed whole people of its
most sacred rights in order to preft their
political party and themselves. With
the Florida confession before the public,
any Congress that should refuse to inves-
tigate the crimes alleged would
be unworthy the confidence Of
the people. They must be inquir-
ed into; the truth must be
proven. Those friends of Mr.. HAYES
who are ignorant of the fraud will join
in the demand that the self-accusa!Ion Of
those perjurers who made HIM President
shall be investigated, and, if possible,
disproved. We shall see what Republic
cans are thus ignorant, judged by this
rule. The question of Mr.. HAYES title
is further along. First, the American
people demand to know the truth, and
the truth only should Congress seek to
give them, let it pinch where it may.

TIE ONO LEGEsLATrRE.

Yesterday was the day fixed for the
adjournment of the Ohio Legislature, but
two questions got crosswise between the
two Houses and pried them apart. One
of the questions was the important one OF
re.districting the State for Congressional
purposes, and the other pertsined to
appropriations. A re-distclcting bill
passed the House on Saturday and was
read the first time in the Senate. The
difference between the two Houses on the
appropriation bill went to confer
ence committee. The House, seeing
the dilemma, rascinded the resolution ad-
iourning the Assembly on Monday morn
ing. The Senate remained in session
until midnight, Saturday night, and ad-
iourned till 4 o'clock Monday morning
When that body met yesterday morning
before the break O. day, it passed the re-
sending resolution, and fixed Wednes-
day morning at 9 o'clock as the day and
hour for adjournment.
As we understand it, the differences
between the two Houses on the spPro-
priations were accommodated yesterday
but nothing was done in the Senate on the
re-districling bill. We presume, however,
the measure will pass that body before Its
adjournment, although we observe 1t
stated that one vote is yet lacking to
make it law. The bill as it passed the
House seems to be regarded as a just and
equitable measure. 1t seeks to correct
the injustice done by the present Gerry
Wandering law, without committing any
wrong on the other side. On the vote at
the last election, which gave the State to
the Democracy by handsome majority
this bill divides the Congressional dele
CATION about evenly between the two
parties. This shows wisdom and true
craftsmanship on the part Of the leaders
of the party in power.

in Europe, the situation is very mixed.
The Russians have not removed any
portion OF their army from its position,
and the English are rapidly sending
troops to the neighborhood of Consian-

tranquility" in Europe generally mean
that everybody Is lying like the mischief
and trying to dupe their neighbors with
