clearly outlined IN the House proceedings
to-day. The long expected and much
dreaded resolution of inquiry was brought
IN thia afternoon bv Clarkson n. Potter. In
the first step taken, the Bourbons have
shown unusual good sense and discretion.
=, -.es--tsss.ss. Mr.. POTTER
is man Of high standing, polished law
yer, and one whose wits aud self possession
never desert him. He was, of all the Demo-
Gratis, the one best calculated to give dignity
and character and standing to the movement.
The resolution of inquiry is adroitly drawn,
and Mr.. Potter to-day particularly denied
the assertion that 1t looked toward reopen1ng
the question of the Presidential title! Pre-

the highest tribunal, and to no good end dis
turb the best interests OF the country. Later,
when Mr.. Mills had assurance t1om Mr. Pot
ter that the investigation did not seek to
raise question of title, be withdrew his OBJ
jections and voted with the rest of the Demo-
Gratis. In spite of the pacific statements
made by the Democrats on the floor Of the
House to-day it became as clear as MONDAY
that the policy of the Democrats, while it
does not look toward raising question as to
WHO WAS LEGALLY ELEcTED
President, IS the impeachment OF the pres
ent incumbent OF the office. The point
where the President is to be caught is shown
IN conversation with Democratic mem
Der OF the House. he said: 1T Is true that
ARTICLES OF impeachment cannot be brought
against resident Hayes for acts committed
prior to his lnauguratlon.9
It was asked, "What do you propose to
make out of this inquiry in that case!''
"What we propose to show isthis,'' said
he; ''frst that
HAYES WAS A PARTY TO THE FRAUDS
committed in the States Of Florida and
Louisiana. inasmuch al he made scientifically
corrupt bargains, and that after his accession
to the Presidential Office he then carried out
the stipulations of those bargains. It is up
on these acts the result OF corrupt bargains
egieed upon prior to MS becoming Presl-
oent, tnat we ma the OASIS 1or lmpeach-
gains were maue 10 ue1Iauo the STATES OF

rewarded the perpetrators OF these frauds,
am sure public opinion will sustain an I'M
Peachment process.
Inc bold declaration OF the Democrats has
created something OF
They will send out appeals to the country
saying that this investigation is new revo-
luton. but the Democrats will renlv to this
! by saving that thew aim at no revolution
that the impeachment of Hayes will have nc
disturbing influence, because the question Of
his title is not raised, and that if he is i'm.
peached, the succession of VIM. A. Wheeler
to the office can be affected without any dis
turbance. Their openly avowed purpose
| now is solely to punish the principals who
we're guilty of the frauds of 1876. In. an

mark IN the parliamentary discussion, bu
that was wicked one. The point being
discussed was whether the chairman of the
subcommittee could be authorized to ad
minister oaths Ben Butler said the House
had repeatedly made such presidents, and h.
cited case, that OF the impeachment o.
President Andrew johnson. At the ugly
word OF impeachment thrill went through
the house-so tnorougniy wicked and ag
