THE PRESIDENTIAL rr1LE-coMINa REPORT OF
THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
rho House judiciary Committee will report unani-
uously Tomorrow, or . Il get the floor,
against the Blair resolutions bill for testing
the Prsssasntiai tito. II IL that tho
port will take the ground that Congress- ought not
ana cnnnot invest the Supreme Court with such nd
dittonal powers or duties the Kimmcl bill
proposes and that there is power anywhere
10 reopen the question the Presidential tito when
once II 10 legally and u.onay settled,
donc BY the action OF tho Forty-fourth Congress-.
This has always boen the opinion OF all Influential
democrats and Of probably all but half dozen
OF tho party 1t stated by your correspondent
shortly after tho Kimmel bill ana tho Blair resoIu
tons wore introduced, and the series Of HERALD in
serviews on the subject proved u In DETAIL

STRENGTH OF MS TESTIMONY LAYs-THE
RAscALITIEs OF cARPEr-BAa RULE EXPOSED.
The cross-cxaminntion or Anderson to-day BY tho
republicans for the most part lame and tedious
snair Mr.. Reeds object seemed 10 be TO bring homo
10 Anderson the turptudc OF hts conduct In testyiog
ne way before she Senate committee in 1875 and the
opposite now But as everybody knew that he had done
his Il seemed hardly worth while. II was thought
nat General Butler might made mere out OF the
nitnsss, but no cat By silent II IS di11cut to
how Anderson can be effectively broken down until

It's testimony, without these documents, would have
seen OF no consequences, and, inc case stands
Nr Shsrman's unexpected uncertainty aosut the lot
er no 10 alleged to have written gives Anderson moro
Rcight than any other one thing.
The democrats handled this alleged letter very
cautiously until astor Mr. Sherman had refused to
positively disown IT, Mr. Morrison said OF it:-.T
think W will all admis that this paper, standing
alone, viii NOT amount 70 much evidence. and
that unless II Is supported BY other iacts and
Garcumsauoes and comes TO DO completed evidence
Il WIN amount SUBSTANTIALLY nothing, though II
msy have influenced the action oithe witness II M
sAsrmsn denied writing The letter asy letter Of
sSYxiud wvouid, syshst stmp have fallen dead, ana
With H. much Of Andsrson's Importance as awtncss
would have fallen. AZ matters have gone
however, the Immediate interest now centres on
what senator Matthew'S and Judge Harlan viii
testify Anderson asserts that no explained 70 Ant-
shews the facts and circumstances Of the East Fec
ana fauds also that no did the to Judge Harlap
telling him also ali about Louisiana, and that both
Matthews and Harlan, after having beard his tale,
offered 10 holp him 10 an ONCE and did try 10 aid him.
THESE serious charges, which again would DO
Titled 10 no weight whatever II not for Andcr-
sons documents which give his assertions painful
