lBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, June lion the whole the pro-
ceedings in the House to-day must have caused the
Democratic leaders to feel great humiliation.
They started out only few weeks ago deter
mined to postpone all expression of opinion upon
the character of the Presidents title TO his Office
until they ascertamed what disclosures the Potter
Committee might make. Privately disclaiming all
intention of attempting to dsplace President Hayes,
they were determined at the same time to leave the
door open for the adoption of any policy, however
revolutionary its character, that might seem to
them warranted by the report of the Potter Commit
tee. In pursuance of this purpose therefore, they
repeatedly refused to place themselves on
record even by the adoption of a resolution
narrow IN its scope. Either the Casey Young resO-
luton offered in the Democratic caucus. which was
held to determine what should be done with the
oution to set on foot the Potter investigation, or
that subsequently presented in the House by Mr..
Carter Harrison, might have been adopted, and the
door still left open for attack upon the Presi-
dents title through judicial proceedings in the Su-
preme Court of the United States
The refusal Of the Democrats to accept either Of
these the prophetic uterances of Mr.. Alexander H..
Stephens, and few others of the wiser and more
conservative Democrats. and the admissions con-
tanned in Mr. POtteTs open letter, well as in the
authoritative announcements made by portion OF
the Democratic press. alarmed the country to such
an extent that the Democrats in the House of Rep
resentatives have been forced against their will TO
make the declaration they did to-day in voting for
these two resolutions.
The record of the Judiciary Committees resolu-
ton is the one that must be accepted as indicating
more closely the present temper of the House on
this subject. Some expressions which Mr.. Burchard
used III his resolution were objectedtO even by such
conservative Democrats as Mr. Abram 5. Hewitt.
but the Hartridge resolution commanded the vote
of every member of the House who is not outright
a red revOlutionist. The fourteen men who voted
in the negative on this proposition deserve to have
their names printed in large capitals and be held mp
before the country as the most dangerous members
of one of the most dangerous Houses of Represen-
tatives that ever assembled in Washington. They
were as follows
J. G. :. Blackburn, OfKy. w. Kimmeli. Of Maryland.
A NJ Bliss Of New-York. r. L. AIuYhnm of Newly Ork.

CATION has been of such an unsatisfactory charac-
ter to them that they had about made up their
minds to allow the judiciary Committees report
on the Maryland resolutions and the Kimmel bill TO
be madeto the House and be passed. Mr.. Hart
ridge, who had prepared this report, was to have
presented it to-day but two members of the COM
mittee who did not sign it, Mr.. Proctor Knott
and General Butler, had requested that the re-
port be postponed until tomorrow. in order that
they might present at the same time their dissenting
views. But the report of the Judiciary Committee
and any vote of the House upon it, coming tardily
along day OF two after the ADOPTION of MIR. Bur-
chards resolution, would place the Democrats in a
ridiculous position and nothing renamed for them
TO do, as the leaders immediately perceived, except
to put their own resolution through Immediately
after that introduced by the gentleman from Illi-
nois At best, very much Of its effect destroyed
by the superior tactics of the Republicans. but
when they waked up to the fact that they had been
Outgeneraled, the Democrats made the best of the
unfavOrable position in which they were left, and
passed the Hartridge resolution by majority even
greater than that by which they agreed to the one
introduced by Mr.. Burchard.

Treaty of San Stefano, but its terms are subject
to revision by the European Congress. The chief
points of the settlement are appended. Ac-

it is believed by the Liberals that Russia gave
way on the question of form, while England
yielded on the most substantial points at issue.
In Germany, opinion is divided in regard to

is in sympathy with Russia, but the people
side with England. Prince Bismarcfs adher-

FLIES FROM WASHINGTON.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUEE.l
WASHINGTON, June 14.-1he Potter committee
did good deal of heavy waiting to-day, but spent
very little time in the examination of witnesses.
The committee to be almost at its wits ends.
Mr.. Brewster, of Louisiana, one of the Hayes
electors, was placed OH the stand and questioned for
a short time about the correction Of informalities
in the electoral returns of that State.
Mrs. jerks, from whom the Democrats have
expected sensational testimony was in waiting
in adjoining room all the forenoon, but she was
excused until tomorrow. The apparent indisposition
of the Democrats to summon MrsJenks is explained
by the fact that they have suddenly begun to fear
that she is to damage their very badly. James
E. Anderson's attorney is reported to have said to-
night that she will swear that the whole story An
dcrsOn has told is q conspiracy which Anderson,
Mrs jerks and others concOcted and that the lot
tiers and documents necessary to support 1t were
manufactured. OF course this may not be true but
il is reported to be an unqualified statement from
Anderson's attorney.
Meanwhile the Potter Committee has apparently
made itself party to a trick played by Anderson to
get out of the hands of the Matthews Committee in
the Senate. The latter committee summoned Ander-
son day before yesterday and he Mr.. Morrison
who was then acting chairman, and obtained a let
ter TO the Senate committee asking that he might
be allowed to attend the sitngs If tho House COM
mittee while Mrs jerks was being examined.
This was agreed to by the Senate committee as a
matter of courtesy. aud the House investigators
were requested TO inform the Senators when they
were through with Anderson, in order that his eX-
animation might 90 on there. To-day, instead OF
doing this. the House committee discharged Ander-
and he left town for Philadelphia. After he
was ont of reach apologize note was written to
the Senate committee. expressing regret that,
through a misunderstanding, Anderson had been
allowed to leave town. While neither Mr. Potter
nor Mr. Morrison Is believed to have been party
10 this failure, there is every indication that the
managers of the House prosecution very anxious
that AndersOn's examination before the Senate COM
mittee shall be postponed.

LONDON, June 1.-The feeling of relief produced
by the official announcement last night OF the meet
ing OF the Congress at Berlin is almost counterba-
anced by the feeling of alarm which Lord Beacons-
fields determination to be his own ambassador has
excited As must say something Oh both points,
let me finish with the Congress first
1t is the Liberals, not the Tories, whose feelings
are relieved. and the satisfaction of the Liberals Is
due not merely to the certainty thatthe Congress
will meet, but to their conviction that peaceiui
solution of its labors is assured IN advance. IL Is
widely believed among the Liberals, and generally
feared by the "JingOes" that Russia has given
way on the question of form solely because Eng
land has given way on most Of the points
atissue. From tho beginning to the end what
Lord Beaconsfield has aimed at is not SO much
fruitful triumph as snowy triumph. lie has
cared less for real victory than for the appearance
of victory less for reducing the limits OF General
Ignatief's Bulgaria than for enlarging the hem oil

land to masquerade for while for his own glory.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Thurman bill in

passed in the Senate to-day with slight opposition.
Several hours were spent on the Judiciary
Committees bill, also reported by Senator Thur

Commissioners, naming as such Commissioners
Charles Francis Adams, jr., of Massachusetts,, and
Albert Fink, of Kentucky, and providing for the
detail of an officer of engineers by the President.
The whole debate was of a trivial character. lt
was shown by Senators that the Commission
was unnecessary. as all information could be
obtained by the Government Directors and by the
Secretary of the Interior. There was debate of
more than two hours in length as to whether the
Commissioners should be allowed one clerk or two
The salary of the Commissioners was reduced from
$500 month to 5000. and the bill was passed at

WASHINGTON June IA fact which may throw
some light upon the real purposes actuating those
who engineered the Potter resolution through the
House has just come out here. IL seems according
TO excellent Democratic authority, that several
months before the Potter resolution was passed,
Mr. Manton Marble and General Barlow approached
leading Democratic members Of the House Of
Representatives and men prominent in the
party and urged them to begin active measures
for Ousting President Hayes as soon as the
Democrats should secure control of both
Houses Of Congress. One reason which
they urged was that it would be n good piece of
party strategy, because If Governor Tilden was
given two years of the present Presidential torn bis
ambition would be satisfied. and he could easily be
put out of the way for 1880. The consultations of
these gentlemen, who were known 10 be working in
the interest of Governor 1ilden all Indicate that the
main purpose OF the present movement, IN the minds
of those who responsible for IT, has been 10 re-
