The LAST EFFORT FOR PEACE.

THE QUESTION OF PEACE or WAR LIKELY TO TURN
oH THE CARS RESPONSE.
LONDON. Friday, May 10, 1873.
The Vienna correspondent of The Times, comment
ing the hopes of peace revived by Count Schonva
lofts expected arrival at st. Petersburg and the in
creased friendly character of the pour parers, says:
Notwithstanding way out of the difficulty
seems at last to have been found, the egress Is
neither short easy. Ii Is after all nothing
more or less than solving the most vital questions.
that is doing IN a great measure the work of the
Congress itself"
A certain narrowness, therefore, exists, it being
instinctvely felt that the present may possibly
be the last effort to arrive at pacific solution.
The pending pour parlers no longer relate to
formula for the Congress- but to the merits OF set
temcnt in the East, and if irreconcable antagon-
isms should result more points it would

to bring about an understanding.
Beyond this is the question of guarantees to wit.
the pledgs that Russia will really make the cOnces-
sion she promises and security that England will de-
mand nothing further.
IL would form dangerous anomaly to leave the
armed forces of the two sides face TO face while
they have automatically agreed. The withdrawal
therefore of the British fleet and Russian army
seems to be a natural corollary of any under
standing.

WASHINGTON, May 9.--The resolution concerning
Che relations of the United States with Mexico, in
tFodueed in the Senate yesterday. by Mr. Morgan
Of Alabama is said by some to have been drawn in
the interest Of the Texas and Pacific Railroad Com
pany.
essential feature of the resolution appears TO
be IN the last clause of the preamble, which de-
eiaies IT expedient by treaty TO provide for
ihe protection and encouragement Of commerce and
trade aud the building and equipment of lines of
railroad from the City Of Mexico to the Rio Grande,
teere to connect with American roads, Ii is we'll
known that the Mexican Government has made a
great number Of concessions for railroads which
nave no practical value, and that no loans can be
Negotiated upon them in European money markets.
is said that II the Morgan resolution should pre-
vail these concessions would be made valuable, be-
cause the Texas and Pacific Company, by slight
astour Of its line, could Immediately connect with
one Of these projected Mexican roads and make d-

TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WAsHINGTON, Nav 9.-SOme Of the investigating
committees of the House have very queer experts.
The committee of which Mr. Finley is chairman
which has been investigating the public printing
has an expert who testified that certain lot OF
paper which had been purchased was far below the
standard his comparison being really equivalent to
the assertion that it worth only about one-thrd
as much as had been paid for it. When the expert
reached that point III his testimony there was handed
him by the Government expert sample of paper
and he asked TO tell the committee what he
thought of that grade He promptly pronounced 1t
excellent, and in fact, good enOugh paper for the
purpose for which it was used. He was somewhat
astonshed when he informed that it was eX-
actly the same paper he had just before condemned
This same expert seems TO know about as much
about presses as he does abOut paper. Testlyng IN
regard to the number of feeders that should be al
lowed with the different styles OF presses, ne said
that one kind of press where only feeder Is ever
employed, should always be provided with two
while for another press, which cannot be run with
less than two feeders lie said that only one should
be allowed.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Florida investigation
still hangs fire, the Democrats still being undeter-
mined what the wisest policy in regard to the mat
ter is The programme as explained by Democrat
tonight. is this
The Judiciary Committee of the House, having
received from the JOINT caucus committee the re-
quest to move in the investigation, the Democratic
members of the former have been comforting among
themselves to-day, and will probably bring the
matter before the full committee at its meeting to-
morrow. There is reason to believe that the Demo-
cratic majority in the committee will be in favor of
initiating the movement. and of asking permission
Of the House to send for persons and papers, under
the BLAIR resolution, which was referred to them.
In case this movement should fail, then General
Williams, of Michigan, has been designated to pre-
sent the subject to the House, in accordance with
the programme reported yesterday.
As the Judiciary Committee is the third on the
list it would not naturally be called until Tuesday
or "wednesday of next week but the Democrats are
confident tonight that some arrangement will be
made by which il Will be given the floor on Satur-
day.
General Garfield has an amendment which he in
tends TO offer TO the DemOcratlc resolution. HIS
amendment would make the inquiry broad enough
10 enable the Republicans TO bring out the attempts
Of the INlden men to perpetrate frauds in the same
election. IL especially extends the inquiry to Gem
tral Banning's district, and to the operations of
Eph Holland in his behalf.

bers of the House Committee ON the judiciary have
expressed themselves in opposition 20 the reporting
Of oiaTesOluton for the investigation of the alleged
Florida Presidential election frauds, desired by
ttose who have initiated proceedings TO that end.
As the committee has the Montgomery Blair
resolutions before it, it desires to AVOID the ap-
pesrance OF an intention to consider them IN cOnnec-
tion with the Florida question. The two subjects
being separate, il will be cautious that they shall
not be blended one beng designed TO raise

The committee also to investigate the subject of the
