P0tter's Resolution.
Special to the N. O. Democrat.

4 b
little to be said concerning the in
vestigation prograsame. beyond
what has been anticipated in for.
mer dispatches. The Republicans
did not filibuster for reason thai
they could not agree upon a pro-
gramme of action. Many of them
in their hatred of Hayes were al
heart indisposed to do an nytbinp
that would severely embarrass the
investigation. Hence, the only
thing they could agree on was to
refuse to vote and let the Potter
resolutions go through by default.
The work will begin immediately.
THE COMMITTEE
will undoubtedly be named Mon
day, if not tomorrow. Randall
keeps his own counsel tonight,
but the best information attainable
is that the Republicans on the com
mittee will be five in nnmber, con-
sisting of Foster, Ben Butler and
Conger, with one from Illinois and
one from Pennsylvania.
Among the Democrats, Potter is
the only one who can be spoken of
with certainty at this writing. I
may ascertain more later. No Re
publican who was one OF the visit
ing statesmen to either Florida or
Louisiana will be allowed to 90 on
the committee.
SCOPE OF THE INQUIRY.
AS to the scope of the investiga-
tlon, it may properly be stated,
that it will begin with an inquiry
into the action of Noyes in Florida,
and John Sherman, Garfield and
Stoughtonin Louisiana; proceed
ing upon the theory that they were
guilty OF transactions which would
disqualify them for the Offices they \
hold. From 8his point the inyes-
tigation will proceed to ascertain
what were the connecting links be-
tween Hayes and these men, with
the view TO establishing that they 1
We're simply authorized agents OF
Hayes, in the procuration of the
frauds by which the result OF the
election was set aside.
From this the committee will
proceed to investigate the interfer-
snce of Hayes and John Sherman
With the processes of justice in the
rial OF Anderson, and the negotia-
ions that led to the rescue of An
ierson by the Supreme Court of
will be laid bare. If
Hayes appears guilty on these
counts, or implicated in these con-
piracies,
HE WELL BE IMPEACHED.
This is a general outline of the
OF course subsequent
|etails may raodify it in minor par
iculars, but it will in the main be
ollowed out as shove indicated.
Certain parties here have pro-
ested against the appointment of
len. Gibson as one member of the
onmittee, on the ground that be
I'LL be likely, on account Of his re-
atoms with Nichols, to obstruct
full inquiry into the negotiations
'hich led to the rescue of Ander-
on by the Supreme Court, but it
believed that Speaker Randall
i'll put him on anyhow.
1t is needless to say that the sit ,
alton here is one OF great excite
lent. All talk of an early adjourn I

1ery prospect the remainder of i

Meeting of the Tammany Gem
eraI Com naittee.

! - ----
New York, May 17.-The Tam
many Hall General Committee met
last night, Henry L. Clinton pre-
siding. Senator, T. G. Ecclesine
made an address, in which he said
at the last presidential election the
Democratic party went in under
the banner Of a man who had not
and did not deserve to have the
confidence OF the people.
The causes of Hayes being Pres.
ident are, first, corrupt practices
of Republican leaders; and second,
want of stamina in the candidate
who, being elected, had not pluck
enough to take that given him by
the people. Republicans have fore
shadowed their coming man now
touring in Europe. He is bold,
vigorous and determined, and
sticks to his friends. TO beat him
the Democrats must name a man
of like qualities, and not crafty
the ambition of any man; we want

and won't have any such.
The Charges Against Sherman.
Washington, May 1.-THE par
ticular evidence on which John
Sherman is indicted in the resolu-
tion is Photographic copy of his
letter to Weber and Anderson, the
supervising inspectors Of East and
West Feliciana, Louisiana. This
letter authorized them to make out
the protest against the results in
those parishes on which the return
ing board threw out the democratic
votes. These men al first hesita-
ted, and it will be remembered the
delay caused an open and fragrant
violation OF the law on the part OF
the returning board in receiving
the protests. Mrs. Jencks, friend
,f Mrs. Weber, was here in Janu-
ary with this letter to make terms
With Secretary Sherman. She dis
Josed of the original to him, but
irst had it photographed, and this
copy is the one that has fallen into
he enemy's hands.

THE SENATE DISTRICT BILL.

The Senate Committee on the District of
Columbia has reported bill giving
the people Of this District a permanent
form OF government. The House commit
tee spent months in preparing what proved
to be so inCUngruOus and incomplete n
measure that it was rejected by the House
and returned to the committee. After in
cuhating for some weeks on the partly
added and cracked egg the House commit
tee reported and the House passed n bill
that with some good features contained
many that were bad This bill went to the
Senate committee, and in few days it has
reported it to the Senate, shOrn of its incun-
grutics and in every way amended and I'M
proved.
Instead of allowing the Senate and House
each 10 elect one and the President to AZ
point the other of the three Commissioners,
rs provided by the lIOusc-a measure, to say
the least, Of doubtful cOnstitutionality-the
Senate bill directs the President to appoint
the three Commissioners, one of them to be
an officer of engineers detailed from the
army. Their term Of Office is for three
years, and previous residence in the Dis
trirt # three years is required rs qualii-
cation for the civilians After estimates are
made of all the expenses for the fiscal year
these have to be submitted to the Secretary
of tho Treasury, who first considers and
passes upon the estimates, approving or dis
approving such rs he may see fit, when the
estimates are submitted to Congress, and 80
per cent. Of all it approves is appropriated
nom the Treasury, tho other half of the
amount required to be assessed and collect
oil from the people of the District. The in-
tercst on the 3.G5 bonds, and sinking fund
to retire them is to be paid out of the 80
per cent contributed by the United States,
aud credited as part of the appropriation for
the ycarin which it is paid.
All contracts for street paving, sewers, or
other Improvements costing more than
$1,000 have to be advertised in this city,
New York, and Philadelphia, and no pave
mcnt can cost more than 50 per yard, and
must be of the best material used in con-
structing the kind of pavement determined
upon.
A delegate in Congress is provided for, to
be elected by all the votes of all male citi-
zcns over twenty-one years Of age, who
have been residents OF the District for two
years, aud of the precinct in which the vote
is offered for six months. The Police Board,
School Board and Sinking Fund COMMITS
missioners are abolished, and the Board of
Health retained.
These are the salient points in the bill
presented by the Senate committee. The

BLOOD AND THUNDER.

Tho Democratic organ at the National
Capital Eliminates the following terrible
war manifesto, under the direct inspiration
of TILDEN:
ave have ceased to apologize and have
gone to fighting. We have shown that the
party Is party Of discipline and that promo
tion is to follow service and seniority. Here
after, instead Of endcavoring to discover how
near we can come to the Republican lines with
out getting out Of sight Of our own, we shall
neither ask nor give quarter, but drive the CO.
horts Of fraud and corruption TO their last
stand"
Whew! Now look out for trouble. The
Hessians be upon us! This valorous pro-
nunciamento of war finds but one parallel
in history. When the redoubtable General
BoMDAsrEs FURosso placed his boots out
side his door at night he did so with this
terrific warning to all mankind:
Whoever dares these boots misplace
Must meet BoMBAsTEs face to face"
1t is very gratifying to know that the
Democratic organ has most solemnly re-
solved before high Heaven that it will stop
iooling and so to fighting. And another
thing is equally gratifying. 1t declares the
high purpose hereafter of not being caught
sneaking around the Republican lines in
pursuit Of plunder; but will fight and
neither ask nor give quarter" This is
awful, and we are led to exclam with BY

Mr.. HAYES has made hundreds of enemies
by trying to treat the South justly, and this
section of the Union can well afford a campaign
of mastery inactivity. The South can well
afford to be friendly with man who is an
enemy of the Ticksburg Herald.

lie it was who most pontedly threatened

Characterization of the act as one fitting
such an hour and such day-midnight of

these eyidenCes,of prejudice plainly indicate,
that Mr.. BLACKBURN enters upon his semi
judicial business of investigating frauds
which he believes, already, have been per-
petrated. But we know where to find him.
He is as honest and outspoken now, albeit
he assumes some pacific rrotestations, as
when, at Wllard's Hotel serenade re-
ferrcd to- he said, speaking of the then re-
cent Ohio election:
"Thc victory-,Ohio Democratic meant
that the people had not only put the seal of
condemnation upon fraud but that the people
of the State which had furnished the first man
who occupied tho White House without right
have shown that he cannot even appeal to his
own neighbors for approval. The contest had
been on national issues. The
Bible said that BELsHAzzAR read his doom in
words Of fire. There WAS a man here-he
who rests uneasy IN the White Houso-ThO has
red his doom. Ohio had condemned the
usurper in the White House."
