WASHINGTON, May 10.-There is hitch
in the Florida frauds sinvestigatio business
At the request of Proctor Knott Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee Messrs Spring
er, Wiley and Williams have severally sur
rendered all the preambles, resolutions, affi-
dayits and other papers bearing upon the
matter, to the keeping of that Committee,
whence now is to proceed the effulgence
that is to illumine this chapter of the polit-
ical history. At the present moment the
matter may be said to be in the condition
that no immediate action on the part of the
Judiciary Committee need be looked for
Indeed, it is not probable that the Commit
tee will be heard from before Wednesday or
Thursday of next week. This is private
bill day, and the Mary and Williams Col
lege business will most likely occupy the
House during the entire day. On Monday
the subject can only be brought up under a
suspension of the rules, and as two-thirds
vote is necessary for this purpose, the prob
ability is that it will fail, because the Re
publicans oppose it. On Tuesday the regu-
lar call of the Committees takes place.
The Commerce Committee, which now
holds the floor in the morning hour, will
dispose of its business by that time, and the
PoSt-ottice Committee is next in order. II
this Committee has nothing to present to
the House, or is willing and able to waive
its right then the Judiciary Committee S
turn comes next. In all probability, how.
ever the Post-Office Committee will occupy
both Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Ju
dietary Committee, therefore, will have tC
bide its time until Thursday. 1t is stated
upon reliable authority that resolution
moderate in its terms and carefully guard
ed in its phraseology, will be presented. L
will be preceded by numerous preambles
reiterating in detail the alleged frauds, bu
everything that might be construed a!
pointing to any steps looking to the invali
dation of the Presidents title will be rigidly
excluded. The advocates of the investiga
ton persist in disclai1ning any intention tt
disturb Mr. Hayes, but say they are deter
mined to bring out all the facts connected
with the alleged frauds. Whenever tht
resolutions are offered the Representative
| will present such amendments as will en-
large the scope of the investigation but i
| is thought that by the time both partie
| have investigated to the full bent of thei
inclination the honors will be tolerabl,
| easy.
