WASHINGTON. June 30.-The only
fs,,n,s in to.dsy's proceedings worthy
or mention occurred during the morn
INC bour when the committees were be-
inc called. The long looked-for report
Of the Pan-Electric Investigators was
presented by SIR. Eoyle, signed by
himself and three other sturdy Demo-
crafts. Mr.. Rsnney presented the views
Of the Republicans, and Mr.. Hale, Of
Missouri, bis own individual opinions.
Mr.. Boyle had appended TO his ro-
port q resolution declaring that the
charges. newspaper and otherwise,
made against Attorney General Garland,
Secretary Lamar, Solicitor Goode, and
other officials we're not sustained by the
evidence adduced in the investigation
made, which had been full and free.
The resolution bad attached the sigma
lures Of a majority Of the committee.
The resolution, however, had never
i. been brought up at a meeting OF the
committee, Mr.. Boyle having obtained
the signatures by personal visitation TO
the signers. A point Of order was made
on the resolution on this ground, al
though il is not Tn uncommon
way Of doing committee business.
Mr.. Boyle then asked to Withdraw
the report for the purpose of over
coming this informality, and the page
was in the act of passing back the pa.
pers when Mr.. Hale, the gentleman
who submits his own views, but who
bad signed the resolution OF exonera-
ton, from some motive or other entered
al objection, and stuck to it notwith-
standing the pleadings Of his Demo-
cratic friends. This action, of course,
prevents the resolutions from becoming
a part Of the report, nor are they the
property Of the House, subject TO
action by it. What possible object
Mr. Hale could have in his course does
not appear, unless perchsnce he wished
to 90 back on his signature to the
resolutions.
The House then went into COM
mittee for the farther consideration Of
the sundry civil bill, but rose tenn
porarily to pass joint resolution con-
tinuing the old appropriations for the
new fiscal year until the present quota
ofbills become laws.
Mr.. Johnston, Of North Carolina,
