oct as his decided opinion after mature re-
fection that it was the duty Of Congress to
investigate the frauds. and he would AZ
deItly support sny plan the Committee
deemed proper to carry out the obiect of the
melting. 1he conference session lasted ore
hour and half, and it was decided unzn!>
nsasly that the PresidsLtisl Election should

mir1es Of the House be directed ID proceed
theresith Immediately and that they be IL

EVEN PACEAED
no mas geen appointed Consul al Liver
pool, with salary of S30,0 per alnnn
In order to get him out of the Country, and
away from the invesiig Committee that
he may not preach on the Administration,
is weakening and hesitates to accept the
bribe, and says it will be impossible for hin
to lesue the country before the middle q
June. This fsc5 Is terribly crushing to the
dministrs ton, a5 they tHfer from his re-
Issl to go, that he intends to 20 before the
Committee and show them up. The Ad-
mlnistration is moving Heaven and earth tr
get him as well ss Dennis and McLin out o
the country, and it is thought thev will al
be arrested by the House and kept here un
til their evidence can be placed before the
COMMITTEE.
