not separated from the blood but carried
through the veins to sll parts OF the system
and in trying to escape throug h the pores OF
tho skin, causes it to turn yellow or q dirty

The Labor Troubles.

AAC 1<@SSE AASusA<1s
LONDON, May 1s.-The following Is the
text Of the cotton masters resolution:
"This committee having carefully CON
sidered the proposal made by Alderman
Picker on behalf OF the operatives, re.
solve to arrange for the mills being re.
opened Immediately.
1.-THE weayers, winders, Wrappers, sizers,
loomers, &C., connected with the weaving
department, and the splnners and card
room hands throughout the striking dis.
trict, agree 10 return 10 work at reduc.
ton Of ten per cent, and this committee
will be prepared to meet the operatives
in three months, or at any other time, in
conformity with the usual mode Of pro-
cedure.
The papers carefully point out that II
10 the operatives, not the masters, who
surrender, and that the meaning Of the
resolution is that II the operatives return
to work at reduction now, they will re.
eeive better wages a. soon "a the employ.
ers feel that their trade can afford It, and
C Colonel R.ynsfOrd Jackson, Chairman
Of the Mstersi Association, whose real.
dence at Black burn the mob burned, and
whose mills they attempted to destroy,
presided, and the committee, before tax.
Ing the foregoing action, adopted reso-
luton expressing deep sympathy with
him and abhorrence Of the Wanton de-
struction Of his property.
Rioting continued throughout last
night near Blackburn, the military and
police being unable to preserve order.
BLACKBURN, May 18.-All classes oil

THE FRAUD BUSINESS.
How the Democrats Propose to
Constitute the Committee Of In
YesfiRntfOu.

vestigation.
wAsHlSeTos, May 1s.-Although but
twenty.four hours have elapsed since the
passage Of the Potter resolution, the Dem.
ocrats are already thrown upon the de.
fenslve, and find difficulty in maintaining
themselves. Some Of them already pri,
vately express fears that unless the In
vestigating Committee strike important
disclosures, 1t would have been best for
the party not 10 have agitated the subject.
To this end all their energies will be bent,
and II they fail TO startle the country by
duplicating prominent Republicans in
electoral frauds, the failure will cost them
heavily at the approaching election.
There Is strong disposition among
many Democrats TO hurry up the inyesti.
cation, and have It over before the close
oithe session. a leading Democrat re-
marked to-day that whatever develop.
mens are to come should come speedily,
for II there Is delay until the opening Of
the campaign, the disclosures will fall
fat, like Ku.Klux yarns, having the
appearance Of being concocted for the
occasion. he therefore favored the i'm.
mediate organization Of the committee,
with instructions TO finish in three weeks,
or before adjournment Of Congress.
Speaker Randall did not announce the
committee to-day, as expected. He was
excused from service for few days, and
Milton Sayler was chosen Speaker pro
tenn. Mr.. Randall has gone to Philadel-
phia, ostensibly on private business,
which probably has reference 10 his can
didatuse for denomination. His leave
will enable him 70 attend the Democratic
Convention at Pittsburgh. 1t Is not un-
likely that he will confer with certain Of
the Tilden emissaries tomorrow regard
ing the composition Of the Potter COM
mittee, which, however, Is made up at
this time, but some changes may be made
after conference with Tilden.
There remains scarcely = doubt that
Tilden Is at the bottom Of the whole con.
spiracy, and that Randall, Hewitt and
others are acting under his instructions
and authority. There seems to be no
doubt that the Democratic portion OF the
committee will consist OF undoubted par
tisans. Republicans complain that they
have not been consulted regarding their
membership on the committee, whereas
they ought to have been allowed to
choose the four Republicans who should
serve. They seem TO be certain that Gen.
Butler will be put on the committee, and
are opposed TO the idea Of his going on,
because he Is not In entire accord
with the party. Ex-Governor Cox, Of
Ohio. is another whom it is believed will
be placed on the committee. Objection
to him Is based upon the fact that he ia not
recognized as partisan Of sufficient stiff
ness Of backbone. Extreme Democrats
demand that none but straight.out un-
equiyocal partisans Of their faith shall
be appointed to do the work Of investi.
eating, and they are particular about eI-
cluding everybody who had anything to
do with the Electoral Commission. This
latter point applies to Eppa Hunton, Of
Virpinia

that he would be arrested at the last mo.

debt resulting from soma Business trans.
actions connected with the Golden Age.

Regarding the rumor which recently

New York. These people, who have
stood by Tilton and his cause from the
first, had not heard the latest story con.
cerning Mrs. Tilton. They were aston.
ished and alarmed. II was determined
by both the gentleman and lady Of the
house 70 obtain from Mr.. Tilton, at the
frat opportunity, an exact statement.
The lady ayoWed that il It was true that
Tilton should never darken her doors
again. Mr.. Tlton's parting visit afford.

" II there was, any truth In the sto.
~. he pronounced It.. unqualified.
ly false, and characterized II As the
eliminating outrage Of his enemies. Al
the close Of the call, after consultation
with these friends, he wrote the following
denial:

assertion that Mrs. Tilton's confession
