THE NATIONALS.
The Different Aims Of the Party In Differ
ent states.
IN. Y. Star.


Although the Nationals of different sec
tions Of the country are not In accord upon
some things, and hold certain impracticable
theories there Is at the bottom of their move
ment principles and views which demand
recognition, and which our public men will be
forced to recognize sooner or later. In the
Eastern States, special feature applicable
to that section is the protection OF the manu-
featuring laborers and the Improvement
OF their condition; In New York the
speciality is demand for work
from the government when needed
aud a curtaiiment of the hours of labor; in
the West. the particular aim of the farmers,
farm laborers and others Is for free trade,
cheap transportation, and to reduce the pow
or of railroad monopoles; in California, the
main object is to check Chinese emigration
and hostility to the cheap labor of Cinnamon,
which has very depressing influence upon
the condition of the white laboring popula-
ton; in Pennsylvania 1t takes the form of
antagonism to the powerful mining compa-
MES and protection to manufacturing in
dustry.
Throughout the different States and sec
tions there are, besides these named, other
conflicting interests of local character. In
the South there are scarcely any Nationals,
because their system OF labor and their pro-
ducts for the most part are unique Nowhere
In that part of the country are large numbers
of the laboring population crowded together
as they are in the cities Of the North. There
is no difficulty about getting decent living
In the prolific and genial South. Hence we
North, East and West. Still there are some
objects and views Of the Nationals which
many Southerners hold in common with
them, particularly with regard to the ma
tional banks, railroad monOpolies and q
cheap, ample currency.

THE INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE.
Personnel OF the Potter Commit tee-H0w
the Investigation will be Carried.
ISt. Louis Republican

lSt. LOUIS hbpuDIcdn.l
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The select commit
tee for the fraud investigation was named to-
day, and is conceded to be very strong. Mr.
Potter, the chairman, is absent in New York,
and the committee will not organize and get
to work before the end Of the week. The idea
is to conduct the investigation here, although
1t may be necessary to send to Florida and
Louisiana for evidence, especially to the
former State. as McLin is there quite ILL.,
where the principal frauds were committed,
Is said to be in the city under the eyes of the
Democratic managers. Garfield presented in
the House to- day cablegram from Minister
Noyes, asking to be subpnnaed before the
committee. The Republicans are somewhat
reconciled to the minority representation on
the committee, although it is not what they
wanted. Jacob ID. Cox, of Ohio, Is the only
man on the committee who is anything of a
friend of Hayes. and his friendship is nothing
like that of Foster, Garfield or Matthew'S OF
the Ohio delegation. Great things are ex-
pected Of Read, Of Maine. He Is new
member; but Hamlin and other Maine
men say he is the strongest man in
the Maine delegation In or out of the Senate.
The Democrats are very well pleased with
their representation on the committee. Three
OF the members. Morrison, Mcmahon and
Blackburn were on the Louisiana committee
OF a year ago. None of. the members were on
the Florida committee. Hunter was men,
Der Of the Electoral Commission. Stenger is
at present member Of the Judiciary, and
although young, is an able man. Cobb is
new member, but is credited with much polt-
ical wisdom. Morrison Is generally conceded
by the Democrats as being the guiding spirit
OF the committee and as such has their full
confidence. Mcmahon will conduct the ex-
aminations before the committee. Potter
the chairman, will be eminently fit in all he

eight mines are already located and will soon
be In active operation. These lodges, which
have been followed three miles or more, are

Last night a gardener named Herman
Hoffman, who has been working for
Mr.. Eryck, in Chelsea, tried to commit
suicide at his room in Jacob Stortz's
boarding house, No. 1877 Main street,
where be obtained lodgings. Hollzman
was drunk when he came to the house,
which was about I o'clock last night,
and soon retired to his room. About 10
o'clock a colored waiter heard him call.
ing for water, and upon entering the
room found Holtzmsn on the bed and a
bottle of arsenic by his side. The boy
gave an alarm and a physician was
summoned. By means of proper treat.
ment Holtzman's death was prevented.
though at the present writing he is in a
critical condition. He Jays that he
wants to die, for he is weary Of this life.
DE gives no reason for this desire to
shuttle off the mortal coil. Hoffman
IS a German BY birth, being thirty years
OF age. He came to Memphis about
two months ago.
