and Louisiana, and tho connection of mem

appointed on Monday, and will proceed at
once to its work. An earnest desire is OK
pressed by many members that tho commit
tee should complete it's work before the ad-
journment of Congress, which good prophets
now think will occur about the middle of
July. prominent member of Congress
said to-day that the committee would be able
very soon to tell whether it is going to
STRIKE BED ROCK
or not in regard to the scope of the investi-
cation. 1t is understood tho committee
will make it very wide, as it easily can do
under the House resolution. The constitu-
ton of the committee will enable the chair
man to detail one subcommittee of two
Democrats and one Republican to go to
Florida, and another similar sub committee
to 60 to Louisiana, leaving five members of
the committee, three Democrats and two
Republicans, to remain here and prosecute
the general inquiry into the conduct of
prominent Republicans in

which the men who committed the frauds
have been rewarded by the administration.
These subcommittee will summon every
man who can throw any light on the manip-
ulation of the electoral vote in the two States

if they refuse so much the worse for them.
with Zach Chandler. and the Republican
campaign committee in New York on the
night of the election, and seek to trace out
every important fact in the grand conspiracy,
winding up with the appointment of all the
returning board rascals and many Of the To-
cal election managers to Office. 1t will be
remembered when
ZACH CHANDLER
was called before the Senate committee in
February, 1877, he refused to answer to the
questions of the committee on the ground
that he was then member of the cabinet
and could not be compelled to testify. He
has no such shield now and the committee
can shut him up in the capitol if he refuses
to tell what he knows about the great con-
spiracy. A gentleman who is honored with
long conversation with the President yester-
day in regard to the Potter resolution and
GIVES THE "GLoBE" REPRESENTATIVE,
as far as he can remember, the views enter
tanned by Hayes on the situation. The
President has never seemed pleasanter, or
more tranquil, and undisturbed than he was
this morning. He feels not in the least ap-
prehensive about the final result of the
movement, so far as his Office is concerned,
but at the same time regards it as
GREAT MISFORTUNE TO THE COUNTRY,
and calculated to disturb the quiet and also
the work of Cancellation which he had
flattered himself was so fully completed. He
regards the Potter resolution as designed by
its supporters for the purpose of making
stuff for campaign purposes At the same
time he feels that it is matter not to be
made light of. Like many such matters, it
began in farce in the Maryland Legisla-
ture, with Montgomery Blain as it's champion,
and was the object of
JEsrs AND RIDICULE.
It has finally reached the House of Repre-
sentatives, and the very men who scoffed at
the idea of an investigation found them
selves forced to its support. There is no tell
ing, therefore, in his opinion, how much will
come of it. He regards the majority of
Democrats as at heart against the movement,
but timid persons will be overawed and
others, whose opinions are not settled, will
be Influenced, and they will I'LL be forced
into line as were Alexander H. Stephens and
Abe Hewitt. In this way he expects the
movement will
GAIN STRENGTH
and gather in men, and in that way may as
sumo proportions which even now are not con
ceived of. But expecting the worst to come
he has no apprehension about his title t.
the Office. and does not regard it as possibl,
in any way to disturb the present admins
tration. He feels conscious of this, and il
backed by his CABINET from John Sherman
down to MI. Key. He denies that he or hi
cabinet are in any way agitated over tn
matter. The President feels much chagrin
ned over the
DEMOCRATIC UNANIMITY
on this question, and he feels sorely dis
appointed over the ingratitude of the South
ern Democrats. He feels that the policy b
has adopted towards all sections was tn
right one, and that it would work out tn
great problem Of reconciliation. He did nc
expect the good results of his policy to com
all az once, but believed as he says from th
