DEATEX I¥ ONB DIRECTION, THEY WILL TAY ANOTHER, Apectal Dispateh to Tas Tridune, Wasnivotox, D. C., June 14.—A fact which Rocs far towards interpreting the real purpose nctuating those who engiucercd the Potter reso- lutton has just come out here. It secws, ac- cording to excellont Democratic authority, that some months bofare tho lotter resolution passed, Manton Marble and Uen. Barlow ap- proached Jeading Democratic members of the House and men prominent in that party snd urged them to inaugurate active measures for oustlog Hayes as soon aathe Democrats secured control of the two Houses. One polnt they made was that it would ba a good plece of party play, siuce, It Tilden was given two years of the remaining Prestdentlal term, his ambition would be satisfied, and be could be castly put out of the way for 1830. The consultations of thess gentlemen, who were known to be working in the intcrest of Tiiden, all Indicated that the maln purpose of the present movemont {n the mindsof those who inaugurated It was to oust Hayes. Now tuas public opinion hias itriven the Democrats to declaro that the title conpot bo attacked, those who formerly talked of putting Hayes out through the courts or by joint resolution recog- niziog Tilden, are almbst all talking of im- wveachment instead. TIE COMMITTEE. ‘The Potter Investixation Committes accomn- plished practically nothing. Brewster, one of tho Louistana Elcctors, testifled that lo sfzoed the second set of credentlals at the request of Bmith, sccrotary of Uov. Kelloga, for the avowed purpose of corrceting an important §n- formality. - Brewster's testimony was so plalo, und straitforward, and honest that those terri- ble cross-cxaminers, Butier and McMabon, bad little to say to him, 2 The terrible Mrs. Jenks was not put upon the stand, although the Nemocrats have adver- tised her for two days, and notlfied the Senute Committee yesterday that they could not have Auderson because thoy wished to have him hear the testimony of Mrs, Jeoks. The truth 1s, the Democrala aro evidently afrald of Mrs, Jenks. One of the Democratic counsel says he 1a convinced that Mra. Jeuks will swear that tho entire natter Is the result of a conspiracy botween Auderson and hersclt; that there never was an original Sherman letter; that all docu. ments were mauutactured botween them and that thoe purpose of the conspiracy was wmoney, or position, or both, TIE QUESTION OF TITLE, ‘The question of the Presilentin! title was doubtless settled in the House this afternoon, so far as this Congressis cuncerncd. A resoly- tlon, proposed by Burchard, of 1llinols, declar- ing thot It {s wov competent to revise the action of the last Congress, or to annul the dectsion ot the Elcctoral Commission, and that any attemot to do so would be revo- lution, was passed by the cxtraordinary vote of 416 yeas to 31 nays. Immediately after this res- olutlon was read, the Democrats discovered that they bad fallen fnto atrap. There was in- teuse angiety aud consteroation ou the Denio. cratic side. As the roli-call procecded the Domocrats almost in a body declined to answer to thelr names, and sseembled in little knots sbout thetr side of tho chamber, uncertain what course to pursue. A more effectfve par- Hamentary broadside has not been tired into the Democratic ranks this sesston, As the roll-call proceeded, LEADING DEMOCRATS BRGAN 70 VOTE WITil THE HEPULLICANS, As the roll-cail neared its end It became anpar® ent that the number of Democrats wha had the coursge to stand up agoinst the public opinlon of the country was very small, aud when the call was completea It waa found that there were twenty-one Democrats who were unwilling 1o doclare that any attompt to fuvade the Presl- dent's title was revolutlon. These twenty-ona were Blackburn, of Kentucky, 8 member of tho Potter Committes, and ane of the most active of the fillbusters during the Presidential count,~a gentleman whosa purposs on the Potter Committee fs understood to pro- ceed to unscatlog President Hayes If any possible ground would bo found for it ‘Then tollowed Bliss, ot New York, astrict party man; Boone, of Keatucky; and Bragg, of Wis- conaln, whose courage failed later in the day, aud who voted exactly tho opposite way from tho Judiclary Committee. lragg's voto is a double-header, o secined to have intended that ho should have 4 RECOD OX LOTU SIDES OF ¥IIR GREAT QUES- N 1tis trepldation betwcen the two rollcalls was warked and palnful. Then came Cooke, of Georgla, & Confederate Brigadler; Sunset Cox, of New York, who shouts *Fraudl'; Elam, of Loulsisoa, a last-ditcher; - Ful- ler sod Humilton, of Indana; Harden. bureh, of Now Jersey; Henklo sod Henry, of Maryland, Northera doygh-f; Hewitt, of New York, Samucl J. Tilden's adjutsnt, the very man who, this scsslon, {u & speech fn Cone Rress, declared the title of President Hayes Irro- fragable. There were besides Mayhatn, of New York; Phelps, of Connecticut; Pridemore, of Virginis; Robertsou of Loulslans, s last ditcher; Smith, of Georgia; Southard, of Oblo; Waraer, of Coanectlcut, and last aod most stalwart of them all, Willlam M. Springer, of [linots, who WISTED TO LEAVE T2 DOOR OPEX for the Potter Committcs, of which be is & member, to bring In a resolution to unsest the President If ground be found for such actios. Bpringer in an Interview to-ulght defines his position: i am vpposed to all proceedings In reference to Invalidating the Prestdent's title which are (llegal, unconstitutional, or revolu- Uonary. 11 the title of the cresent jncumbent 1s valld and unassallable, it needs no action of Cooeresa to autet it; but If, on the contrary, it 1 traudulent, and the Inveatizating Committee should c find and report, 1t would be dishonor- ahle oz sur part to attempt to make 1t good, or ta declare by Sl or resolution that It is eacred. If the title 1s gzood, it neads uo defense: it bad, I ear gover vote to make it better. For the teasons ! yoted no." Springer was very aarnest In his nppositios to the resolution, but his opposition was useless. He !natated upod belng heard to explain his position, but the Honse howted him dowa, FONCED TG STAMIT. J ‘The Democrats had tntended to submit thelr report from the Judiclary Committes at the night sesslon, but, bavinz been anticipated by the Repubilcans, they [ollowsd the leader- ship of the latter, and immed!iately presented thelr report. doclaring that ft s not in the power of thia or any f{u- turs Congress, of the Supreme Court, or of any tribunal which Congress may establish, to reverso the decizion of the Electoral Com- mission. The report was signed by Republicans and Democrats with the aingle exception of Proctor Knott. Chairman of the Judiclary Com- mittes, and of (3en. Butler, prosecutor of the Democratic caso before the Potter Committee, Itfs worthy of uotice that neither Gen. But. ler nor Clarkson Potter voted o efther of the resolutions. They remained in the Committee- room, notwithstanding all other members of the Cammittee left and voted, and the operations of the Committee were suspended. Potter's ro- fusal to vote—for his action must be so construcd—shows that hie recent letter cannot be Interpreted to meon that the purpose of his Committee is not revolution. The resolution of the Judiclary Committes was sdopted byavote of 234 veas to 14 nays. Finley, of Oblo, vne of the original revolation!sts, and the most bioodthirsty of them ali, occupled por- Laps the most riaiculous ‘position of any of his lttle clan of warrlors. Ile was the first man In Congress to move against the Presidenttal titlo: yet to-day he voted that the vesult cannot be changed. When Burchard's resolution was firss brought in, Fluley, in a demonstrative way, voted ogainst it. Pending roll-call, Foster, ot Ohto, into whose district Finley Las bexn gerry- mandered, approached Finley, and jocosely told him that that vote would sccure his (Fos- ter's) election over Kinley. Other Democrats warned Finley that it was a dangerous vote to cast, and after the call was ended Finley enter- ed the arcna and, with similar demonstration, voted the ofher Way. ACTION OF THE HOUSE. Ta the T¥eatern Anoclated Press. WasnixatoN, D. C., June 14.—In the House to-dav, Mr. Durchard moved to suspend the rules and adopt the following preamble apd resolution: Wurneas, At the jolut mesting of the two MNousen of the Forty-fourth (‘ongrear, convened purauant to law and ihe Constitulion, for the pur- [ote of arcertaining né counting ihe votce far 'resldent and Vice-P'reeident for the teric com. menclog Asrcl 4. 1877, on counting the votes Rutherford 1, [layes was deciared elected Preal- dent, and Wililai'A, Wheeler wan declared elected Vico-Preeident for auch torm; thercfore, Resolted, That no subseqnent Congress and nelther Hounee has jurfsdictic® to reviro the action at snch jolnt meeting, and any attempt by either liouse to annul or dlsrogard such action o title to ofice sclatug therefrom would bo revolutionary, and le disapptoved by thie liouse. 3 VARIOUS 8U00RSTIONS were made to vote for the resolution without the preamble, to strike out the word “ revolu. tion,” to refer to a Committee, etc.,, but the Speaker ruled that the motion to suspend the rules shut out all other motions. ‘The question belog put to s viva voce vote, there were but few voices Inthe negative, but Mr, Mills eafd It was & question on which thero should be arccord of yeas and nays, andhe therefore demanded the ycas and nays. While the vote was progressing there was great commotion and cxcitement ou the Demacratic side, and members on that side gathered to- gether fn wuispered cousultation so as to give rise to suggestions on tho Kepublican side that there should bo 8 reless to allow a Democratic caucus, The voto was flunlly auuounced as yeas 215, nays 21, The last vote was THAT OF SPRINGER, who voted *nay."” Finley had voted nay, but about the last momeut changed his vole to *yea,’ amid much laughter, sPrlmxcr wanted to delay the announcemont until the Chalrman of the Investigation Com- mittee (Potter) should come Into the Hall and vote, but there way uo parliamontary reason for such dolay, Hunton, Morrison, aud Btengor, Democratic members of the Potter Comuiittee, voted aye, aud alt the Republican members of It excopt Butler, who was not pressnt. The only mem. bers of that Commitiee who voted nay were Blackburn and Bpringer, TUE NEOATIVE VOTRS were given by taekbu Fuller, helpe, Il(h-. 3 Hamiiton, 'lNe':mle» Huone, tardenvergh, tobertson Brage, Henkle, indth (Us. 1% ieney; P Cox N Y.), e 411 (N, T), - boutha Llani, aham, Waroer, TUB JUDICIARY COMMITTER'S REPORT, As 8000 as the vote had been announced, Mr. Rartridge ruse to make a report on the same subject from the Judiclary Committce, He preinised by saying he Intended to have made the report ihis morning; but, as the Chalrman of the Committes (Knott) was detalued in his bed Ly sickneas, and as he had asked him to put off the report till to-morrow so that Knott might wake a dln'fi:nunz teport for himself, he had yiclded that a & satter of courtesy; but, as the matter had been byought up, he deslred to make the report now. ‘The report end resolution accompanying were read. Mr, Springer made an effort to bave constder. ation of the report postponed till to-merrow, but the proposition was mpelkd by shouts o} ¥ No, no!' * Yote, vote!! The vote was then taken. Before the result wus nnnounced, 8pringer desired to give ou ex- planation for bis vote, but was prevented by «alls to order, and was loformed by the Bpeaker that ho had no right to make such statement except by unanimous conseut, ‘Tho Speaker was then about to announce the result, when he was interrupted by Springer, who clalined bis right to vole. [Shouts of *Then vote”"] The Clerk was directed to call Spriuwer's name, and he auswored * No.'" “Then Mr, Cox'asked to explaiu his vote, ana sald somethivg amtd the contusion, and, during u great uproar, the vote was announced,—ycas 23{. nays 14,—the followlng being thu negative yote: Bilackburn, Hamllto Toberteon (La.), Blivs, lienry, % ¥mith (Qa.), Hoone, Kimuell, Spny Caoke, Mayham, Warnez, Cox (N, Y.), Pridemore, €OX AND WFRINGER, The remarks which Cox partlally made, but which were rendered uuitelligiie by calls to order, wers; *41 want o know whether it s the lutention to count Mr. Haycs iu any wore. ‘This s the third thne, but It dues not seem to avall.
