The members of the Democratic
Caucus Committee, together with the
Democratic members OF the House
Judiciary Committee, and the promi-
nent Democratic Representatives, in
Guiding Springer, Finley, and Williams
of Michigan, who have had immediate
charge. of the subject of the alleged
Presidential frauds, after consultation
with Speaker Randall to-day, reached
the conclusion that an investigation Of
the matters connected with the subject
is not a question of privilege, and that,
therefore, nothing can be done, except
in the regular order of business; on
sequently it was determined that the
proposition for an investigation should
come from the judiciary Committee,
when it shall again be called for a re-
port for action by the House. The
committee will then ask for au
thority to investigate all the facts in
relation to the last election of members
OF Congress, and of the Presidential
Electors in Florida, with the view of
ascertaining whether the stateme nts OF
McLin and others are true.
California Inquiriug the Price of
Arms-A Feeling Against the
Chinese Gaining Ground.
NEW YORK, May 10.
The Tribune says a prominent gun
dealer said, yesterday, that letters had
been numerous from California, ask
ing the price OF arms, which it is
naively stated are wanted for shooting
game, which is abundant. There is
little doubt that trouble will soon fol-
low this feeling against the Chinese,
which seems to be gaining ground. 1t
is not confined to San Francisco, but
has spread throughout the State, and
should the outbreak occur there, it will
come East like wild fire, and may be-
come general. Another dealer says:
Recently some funny letters and or
| ders have come to us from Sacramento
and other cities in the interior of Cali
fornia. One vas received lately ask
ing for the price of Sharp's rifles, and
stating that they were wanted to shoot
q new kind of game, the lead and tail
of which were on the anne end of the
body. Opposite to this was a neatly
executed pen-drawing of Chinaman's
head and pig-tail, under which was the
legend, "All'ee samee." The Tribune,
in an editorial, says: Kearney's party
in San Francisco has split, and Kear
ney heads the smallest fragment. This
is announced as an indication that
Kearney has lost his hold on the
larger and more respectable portion
of the party. If that is the larger and
more respectable portion of his party
that has beer listening to his recent
harangues, it would need a Calilorni-
ans Imagination to depict a disrespect-
able crowd, whose leader he has be-
come now.
