The democratic members OF the House Ju
dietary Committee decided that the Mary
land memorial did not authorize them to de-
mand an Investigation of the Florida fraud,
AID that they would not inaugurate action 10 the
premises. The oouutry does not want MIR.
Hayes tenure of Office altered, but it does want
the Florida fraud made so plain that those who
still doubt it may be convinced, and induced
thereby to vote at the next election against the
party that conceived sud carried tiuto success
fol execution. Even if it be demonstrated that
Mr.. Hayes was cognizant of the fraud before
he was inaugurated. and every action of bis
administration tends to sustain that charge,
and no. one to disprove it, it would not now
iuvadate his title, but plain and positive ex'
pose of the fraud aud of the parties implicated
in it might, and doubtless will, be the means OF
creating vacant chairs in some of the most lm'
portant Offices at his disposal.
