DEMOCRATS ANNOYED AT THEIB POSITION
BKFOBE THE COUNTRY?EVIDENCE OP BECBET
INFLUENCES AT VFOBX.
The democrat* ar* deeply annoyed here to-day at tb*
letter ol Postmaster General Key, urging Southern
men not to support lor tb* next Congreea any man
wbc, in this Congress or otherwise, tarors the Potter
resolution ot Inquiry into the Presidential tills. It
was an unsxpeetad blow, and the more tolling upon
lbs democrats baoanse they are themselves, with very
few exceptions, Irritated at having been coerced In
lorn* way, ibey know not how, into supporting the
Potter reaolutlon against tbolr better judgment and
Intentions. Tba Southern democrats lu particular are
annoyed, because tbey find themselves accused
by Mr. Key ol revolutionary designs which they
beve not entertained, but for wmeb tbolr loollsb
rapport of tno Potior resolution bas, as tbey
Icel, given at least a color. Tbsy are amazed,
puzzled and Indignant. Tbey teal that somehow?
Ibey do not qnlte comprehend bow?ibey
have been led Into a lalse position and
tbey do not know to get out of it. It is not now
probable that any one of them will be bold enongb to
bring in a resolution repealing tbat ol Mr. Potter,
but a large number of tbem are indignant enougb to
do It, and It such a resolution oould gel beture tbe
Hons* under tbo rules, there Is excellent reason for
believing tbat Mr. Potter's committee would be die.
missed by a large majority of democratlo votes.
Tbe demoorats go about In private, In a maze an if
with puzzled minds, asking each otber, "Who dlatble
thing?" '-How was it donof "Who advised it?"
"Who consented lo It beforehand?" and their inde
xation iaereasea as tbey discover tbat not one con
spicuous isader oi their parly was even asked about
tb* propriety of tbo resolution or tbe inquiry. Not
one, except the Speaker, who appears to bavo been
the only loading democrat here In tbo councils of tbe
men wbo got It up. Mr. Potter long ago let It
be known tbat bo knew nothing ol tbe matter
until, at tbe last moment, ho was informed by tele
graph tbat he was ordered to report It to tbo Hoaee.
Ol tbo dotnooratle Senators?Bayard, Tburman, Ran
dolph, Kernan, Lamar, Gordon, Beok, Hill, Morgan,
Garland and others?not one, so lar as is Known, was
even allowed to know anything of wbat was proposed.
Not only woro tbey not asked lor advice, but tbey
were carefully kept in ignorance ol wnat waa pro
posed. In tPe House tbs same care was observed to
keep tbe secret irom tb* moat Important men. It
is not strange, therefore, that now, whoa
men bavo bad iftno to talk tba manor
ewer Ma 10 discover toil nobody except
tbe kill donen wbu wore wgifik In It ?m oenooitod,
they go about wonaerlag boor It was done, wboio was
tbo aneoen bend tbat so boldly manipulated vbe
whole mailer, aod bow the whole demoorails deleft
lion in tbo House was led Into supporting a measure
wbicb so la to aa ibo 24 th of April, as appears by in
terviews in lbs IIskald, all but twelve opposed with
sontempt. Tbat an unaeen band was at work In tbo
matter begins to be plain to many el them as tbey
sompare notes. A Southern democrat, wbo In the
HsidtLn Interview was strongly opposed to any meas
ure like tbat ol Mr. Potter, was asked to-day, '?Were
yon misrepresented t"
?-No," be said,.."thai Is wbat I thought, and that Is
wbat I still think. The whole thing is unwise and
wrong."
"But you voted for itf"
'?Tee, 1 did. Two or three leading newspapers In
my district suddenly came out for it and threatened
tbat no one should be returned to Congress who
dared to opposo It, and 1 c}id not like to go agalost the
sentiment ol my district."
??Waa there really an exoltsment among your peo
ple about Itf Old you receive letters Irom yonr con
stituents urging you to support itf"
"No, but these newspapers came out all at once
With sharp arllolesand paragraphs, which were sent
lo me marked, and you can see that would naturally
afreet ma "
" Were any public meetings bold in your district
to demand itf"
"No; only this sodden outburst In the press?and
Vbat la what 1 Hod everybody tells me ot bia own
district. The newspapers all at once blew out, and
threatened every mau's seat wbo dared to opposo tbo
investigation."
New, wbat is noticeable to this matter la tbat tbis
is tbs gen oral experience ot Congressman, pariloolarly
a tbo South. So tar aa they know, tbo public mind
a tbelr districts waa not exotted on tbo subject,
fbalr people mad# no damaoda on tbem; It waa not
Itacassed; no meeting* wore held ebeut It; no letteis
from prominent elllnoae came to warn tbem that lboy
wanted noertela course pursued) bit tbero was ibis
sadden outbarot In tbe newspapers at the critical
moment when It waa necessary to the purposes ot tha
Daooea Hand that Representatives should bo misled
tad eoerood by tbrsots from borne. Who did It f
People bore begin to enapect tbat the Unseen
Band waa Mr. Tlldan'a; tbat bla famous literary

Ho far sa your correspondent has been able to as
serials not a dsmocrtt who Is on reeord In the
UssALn lalsrvlews ol April 24 as opposed to the

TENNESSEE DEMOCBATS INDIGNANT AT MB.
BEY*S LETTrR?TENOR OP AN A DDE ESS TO
BE PREPARED IN RESPONSE,
The democratic representatives from Tennessee are
Indlgusnt at the letter ot Postmaster General Key,and
Mr. Casey Young, who has bee n the inost conservative
member of me delegation on t he subject oftnvestlsa
iioo, is the most indignant, lie proposed to-day that
the democrats of the Tennessee delegation hold a
meeting and adopt a tormal reply to tbo itty letter. This
pri position mot with lavor, except Irom Messrs.
Wbiuhorne aud Bright, who held thst Mr. Key snd
his production were not entitled to to much consider
ation. It was dually agreed to prepars an address to
tho democracy ot Tennessee In reply to Mr. Key's
letter, and Congressman Heute was authorized to
write it. This address will be presented to tbo
| members wttbiu a day or two for their slgna.
| tores, after whlolt It will be published. Its trior
will bo ubout as follows:?Mr. Key's political
course will be reviewed iroui tbe time ho wss a leader
of the whig party to snow that be is not qualified to
advise iho democracy. Ills acoepiance o( a position
In Mr. Uayes' Cabinet and tnbsequoni course will be
| touched upon In order to show tbut he has been grad
ually drifting from ibe democracy, aud It will be
olaimed tils letter was prepared and laaued In the in
terest of the republican party; that it is simply sn
appeal to tbo people of the South to elect re
publicans In plsoe of the democrats who
now represent them In Congress. It will
be asserted thst Mr. Key baa allied himself with tbo
tho republican party In its attempts to control tbo
noxt House of Representatives, and that mis toiler
really emanates irom tbe members ol Mr. Hayes* ad
ministration wbo are particularly anxious to prevent
tbe democracy Irom retaining Its majority In the
House. This endeavor to establish Mr. Key's connec
tion with tbe republican party aud itt tnteresta will be
followed by a review of the blatory ot Tennessee under
republican rule, and tht peoplo will be ashed If thoy
desire s retnrn ol that rule. Tho benefits that hsvo
followed tho return ot democracy to power will then
be pointed out. aud the people will be appealed to to
stand by tbeir party colors, ignore Mr. Key and tho
Hayes administration, and to return none but tried
democrsta to Congress. The imputation that tho
democratic members Indorse any revolutionary
scheme and are not sincere in Ihelr devotion to tbe
Unlou will be repelled in sharp and severe language.
TUB POTTER COMMITTEE EN SECRET SESSION?
SUB-COMMITTEES TO BR SBNT SOUTH?TROU
BLE ABOUT THE NECESSARY APPROPRIATION.
TheKlwtoml Investigating Committee held another
length? teuton this afternoon with closed Coo re. The
members unanimously agreed to keep the proceedings
secret and are utterly reticent to night aa to what
they did. It is understood, however, that, after a
protracted dlsooasion, it wu resolved to pursue the
investigation In secret session, st lout In tbo earlier
?tagee of the Inquiry, and to leave to a luture
day the question ol the propriety ot making tho pro
ceedings public, aecordtog u the propriety of ao
doing, should bo determined on by circumstance*. It
waa alao decided to seed a sub-committee to Louisiana
and another to Florida, and part ol tho aesslon wu oc
cupied In tho consideration ot propositions of name* to
constlluts these auh-committoea
The democratic mt|ority of tb# committee foresee
trouble should they attempt to expend money In
sending ?ub-eommliteos to tbo 8ontborn States or In
siuiug hero daring tho recess of Congress without a
preliminary appropriatloa. They agreed upon the sum
ol $20,000as tbeamenat necessary toearry on tho work
of Investigation, and a bill appropriating that sum
was reported to tbo Honso by the Chairman of the
Appropriation Committee to-day. Tho republicans
succeeded by parliamentary taoilea In postponing Its
present consideration, hat its ultimate pauage by tba
Hums ean be depended upon. It la feared, however,
that the Senate will delest It and leave tbo commit
tee to lake the risk of incurring a heavy axpenso
without legal sanction.
The republicans say that all this trouble about aa
?pproprlstiou is only a pretext of some ot tho demo
crats to back out of an investigation which they be
gin to ace la likely to turn out a Oxxle. llenco It waa
eo many democrats were rsady to-day to adjourn on
tbo 17tu of Juno, the Interval being ao short there
will not be time to push tho appropriation through
the Senate, and the pretence will be made that tb*
Investigation waa prevented by iho republican Sen
ate.
The necessity of special approprlstlon lor the com
mittee arises from tba exhaustion ol the regular con
tingent fund of the House by expenses incurred by
the several ooininiiteea which have been pursuing
various Investigations already, especially I be Glover
committee, which baa taken a great deal of testimony.
The contingent fund ol each branch of Congress is
provided In advance by the preceding Congress. In
this Instance it baa bean exhausted by the long ses
sion, Congress having been continuously at work alnco
the 16th of October last
ABUT AFPAinS?BILLS BRPOBTED BI THE

Tba House Military Committee has directed Con

Mr. Wisdom, (rap.) of Mlun., chairman ol tbo Com
mitten on Appropriatlona, In charge ol the bill, said
toe total eatiinaiea lor tho Initiative, Jndioialend
Executive departments ol the government lor the
lineal year ending June 30. 1870, neru $16,002,1117 00.
The total amount impropriated lor tbe currout Steal
year waa $10,637,381 30 To I hut had been added by
various defloieocy bill* $340,045 47, making a total o(
$1.1.878,4:0 77 lor the year 1878. Th? total amount
appropriated by the trill now belnre the Son
ata, u? it came from i lie Conimlnee on
.tppropriatioua, waa $16.6d4,l)42, being $313,584 77
lea* than the appropriatiou lor tbe current
Uveal yaar. II tbara wero any objection* to Uie bit',
it was probably on ucuount of appropriulioos being
too small, rather than too large. The bill was by no
means ua formidable aa tbe several hundred amend
ments would ludioate. There were certain general
principles governing ail ol tbvm.
In the Orel place, the House of Representatives as
sumed to revise the compensation and reduce tba
?ember at employes at the boosts. Tbe Senate Com
mittee would aot agree mere to, and submitted
anttndmeou to reinstate the employda and maintain
tbe compensation at all aa now flzed.
ibe House hill undertook to regrndo lbs sevorul
classes ol clerks in the Executive departments ol tne
government. This reorganization, or rather dis
organization, ol tbe clerical lores extended to all the
departments. The Houee had provided tor certalu
clerks at au annual compensation of $1,000 each, but
the Senule Commitioe would not ugroe thereto. The
demnud ol nil too department* was lor Clerks ol u
higher grnde. Those ot n lower grade could not do
the required work. The Senate Committee bad there
fore reinstated tbe clerical lores as organiaed by the
aei ol 1863.
The House bed abollebed tba Fourth and Fifth i
Auuuorahips ol tne Treasury, and tbo Senaie Com
mittee reported In favor ol rexturiug those officers.
He apoke ol tbe work done In their offices, and quoted
from tables as to accounts examined by tbem. An.
The Heneenad provided lor assistant mersenaeraand I
pngra In Ilia departments, but tbe uniforu testimony 1
et department eilloisis wjh that pages would he of no
use, und ibe Senate Committee iiu.i tneroio restored
the system ol messengers now la use.
Tbe committee had increased salary in one instance
only, ana no additional clerks were authorized except
In casts of absolme neceecity, one of which was In
tbe pension branch ol ihn surgeon General's office,
wbure thirty-two more clerks wero needed.
Oo motion ol Mr. Wisdom lbs Ave hi In u to rule wua
applied to tne discussion npon amendments.
All amendments reported by the Committee on Ap
propriations restoring the number and compensation
of employd* ol tbe Senate were agreed in.
On motion of Mr. Axthoxy, of Kbodo Island, tbo
clause iu regard to clerks in tne Government Priuiiug
Office was amended so as to provide for a cbiel clerk
at a salary ol $2,000 per annum, three olerka ol class
lour, one elerk ot class two and one clerk ol class one.
Tne House Inserted a provision tbat tho duties pre
scribed by sectlob 460 ol tbe Revised Statutes, which
authorises tne President to appoint a secretary to
sign laad patonte, should bereutter derolve upon aud
be discharged by one ol the Kxecutlvo clerks, l<ut the
Senate disagreed tbereto and reinstated tho secretary
to sign land patents at an annnal salary ol $1,600.
The amendments ol tbo Committee on Appropria
tions reinstating tne Fovrth and Filto Auditors ot tbe
Treasury, abolished by tbe House bill, wero agroed to
wllbuut discussion.
diversi bunored amendments ol tbe committee, re
storing tbe number end compensation of oltrks, mes
sengers and laborers In tbe various exeoutlve depart
ments of the government, offices ol assistant
treasurers, mints and assay offioes, throughout the
United Mates, were agreed to without any nebnte

An ameudmont of tbo committeo, providing tbat
before tbe expenditure of any ol the $76,UOO appro
priated lor tbe New Orleans Mint, the city ol New Or

Teri ttoriaa and apportionment of members la tbe

Tbe committee reported an amendment to strike
