A- promised, 1 will now endeavor
to give an aeeumit of our trip. First,
allow me to enter a protest against
tin* letter in the last issue of the J*/-
rertixrr signed “Topaz.** It was in
vented in Albany and we aecordiug-
ly wish toeorreet several statements
in it.
After a very pleasant ride on tin*
lk & A. R. R., under charge of Con
ductor Taylor. we arrived in Bruns
wick in a big rain. Karly the next
morning we hoarded the steamer
Florence and arrived here about 'J
oYloek a. .xi.
(■round was selected on tin* IdllIf.
and hx mion we were enjoying the
ocean breeze under shelter of our
tents. The day passed olf pleasantly
enough, hid our first night was made
hideous by the hoys using their horn-,
and collecting sill the dogs on the Is
land. and starting a wild hog. which
bolted through the tent occupied by
Messrs. Tift and Wight, and others.
These gents being soldiers, of course
as small a thing as a wild ling in their
bed at mid-night did uoi disturb
their pen refill and innocent slumbers.
The next morning had scared v dawn
ed before the boys were out and tin
hark caught, instead ofbring a nion-
proved to he a stray innd-rat.
that recognizing the inland style ol
hailing hooks, or else had followed
this party down to the -alls for re
ndition.
The bench is patronized by tin
whole party, and us I set here and
write. 1 will point the narties out t*
you. The nimble blonde yonder with
rope around his person is the hap
py (iene. He is kept in tow by Dr.
Spain, who went down as Doc HaU’.-
private secretary, (iene is sportin
a flashy suit of red and yellow’ flan
nel. I can recognize (ins as he;
liis mouth full of salt-water coming
in contact with a breaker, lie wear
d. white ami him*, suit closely fli
ng. Bud. poor fellow, seems out of
humor, as he lakes deep water, and
does not come out. I have just been
told that he is badly damaged in tin
rigging, and will have to he lowed
n'.** port. Bud wears hi- Albany
■ iiards uniform while bathing.
As the boat is about to leave. 1
must deter a further description un
til my next letter. I cannot let thi
mail go without sending you the re
sult of our indignation meeting upon
the Topaz communication.
Yours, etc.,

[From tin* iMroit Fiv** I *ro—* J
Briefly stated, tlx* rca-on given is
that tlx* (*'»ustittili*»n provides the
President ‘shall hold liis nliieo during
the period of four year*, and that all
civil officers shall he removed from
oflice on impeachment for and con
viction of treason, bribery or other
high crimes or misdemeanors.” The
defenders of Hayes and liis title do
not all put their defence in this pre
cise form, hut this is what they all
mean ; ami Ihe conclusion they draw
is Ihat Hayes can only he removed liy
impeachment. If this ho so, it folloxvs
that any man xvho may by any means,
no matter how iinlaxvfiil, thrust him
self ini" the Presidential chair, can
retain it tor four years if lie abstain
thereafter from the commission of
impeachable offences. Possession
xx*»nhl make the possessor President*
and, being -in h. lie xvould he entitled
