His attorneys arc ready to undertake hls case, both offensive and defensive, tho moment tho Committco admits them to jts scasious, and gives notfee that it is° ready to proceed. 'Lhe Committee, aslde from the question of organ- fzation and sclection of sub-committee, binsthicse IMVORTANT QUESTIONS 1O SCTTLR to-morrow, namely, whether tho sesslous shall ‘bo open or sceret, whether Sccretary Sherman shall bo allowed to apoear by counscl, sud what scope the inveatigation shall have.

Unless the Committce, bv the mere forca of ite votiug power, shall dectdo not to take cognizance of charges agalnst tho Democrats, the question of embraciug such mattor as the actfon of the Loulsiana Committer and tifc Wormley Hotel conference {n the investization will come up in a discussion of the scope of thu inquiry, IT 18 A BIGNIFICANT PACT that the cbiof ndvocates of examining theso and kindred subjocts oro autl-Jlayes Republicans. ‘Their Lopes secins to be that thicy can entaugle Houthiern Democrats n this manner, and 8o urray Northern Republicaus against tha Presi- dent.

The Com- migefon penerally find New York importers more willing to testify than had been expected. The reason for this appeara to be that so many un- Edndnlm consignees without capltal and with ut little credit have come into_the business that it 18 no longer possible for New York im- porters generall {ltu sccure the advantages over other citles which they bitherto have bad, and they now desire to have the system changed, which 8injuring them as much as It Is the honest importers of other clties, THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. MUTUAL CONCESSIONS OF INYLATIONISTS AND RESUMPTIONISTS, Dirvoteh to Cincinnats Gasette, Wasmixoroy, May 23.—The financial ques. tion In Congrzss Is practically scitied for this year. There Lave bLeen recent authoritative movements baseid on mutual concessions: First~The lnflationist leaders agree, without pledging. their followers, that they wiil not interfere with Becretary Bherman's plans for resumption under present laws; provided a law ba paseed whereby any further contraction of legaltender notes be absolutely prohibited. To satisty taese people, the old party of what were known before the silver. legisiation as hard-money men, orresumptionists, bave agreed to vield this poiut. Second—In consideration of the yiolding of this potnt, which ¢ntercd very lightly into the maln questlon of resumption, the iuflattonists, or soit-muney men, or whatever they may be called, have receded from thelr position against resumpuon, belleving it possibie, and agreeing to give Becretary Stiertnan & chunce to try re- sumption under the present law. Third—In & test of the Benute two things are to be obscryed: First, that the majority, which cais pass & bill to hamper resumption, will not jeopardize their scheme by inviting u Presidential veto. Iu other worde, thoy will not move for- ward without assurauce of n two-thirds vote of the Benate on any proposition that au- tagonizes resumption; und they will trv the - Matthiews .omendment on that point. 'he atthews amendment means elastic rcsumption, but antogonizes the present Jaw by resumiing for awhile and stop- ving at certain bolats for furthier accumulation of coln, l Second, that the Flnance Comwittee wiil pot pross its Kesumption bitl, buc will yleld to the inflation majority of the Senate without o single objection from the Committce or from the Sceretary of the Treasury, aud with assurance that the House bill to prevent any farther retiremeot of greenbucks will not be vetoed by the President. Aud this coucesston practically makes that bill a law as soon as it can come beforo the Senate for cousideration, Fourth—That this shall end tinancinl jeglyla- tlon for this year so far as it affects our bonded debt or resumption, or matertally affe our currency in voluine by auy means other than to prevent its contraction, and perhups preveot legislation regarding silver certificates. This fa not & biuding sgrecmant, authorized understanding or bargafn, It {s the last resort of mutual concession, and is so strungly made a necessity to the juflationists, by reason of the Inteness of the scason in Congress, thatit neans an almost positive prediction of almost curtain results. Tho {nfatiouists fear that to odovt the Matthews smendment would jeopard- izo the chance of the bill in the House in the last hours of the sczsion, aud will probably agree to the Houso bill without ameudment, us it camo uvavimous Srom the Scuate Fluouco Comumittee.
