ii Juno next —legal sale day—to appoint

WHAT SHALL. 1,15 THE END?
Tliero is considerable diversity of senti
ment among the Democrats at present on
one point: that is, if the investigations in
Florida and Louisiana show conclusively
that Tildon was entitled to the electoral
vote of those States, what more will it he
best to do? From what we can see in the
papers, we infer that most of the Georgia
delegation in Congress aro in favor ol
lotting liuyos servo out the present term;
and that many other prominent Demo
crats in different parts of the country
think this best. Some claim that the
action of the electoral commission con
ferred a title which cannot be invalidated:
others think that Hayes is governing the
country so well that the confusion and
disorder which they think likely to'result
from an attempt tounsoat him, will more
than counterbalance any good that is to
bo expected from having a Democratic
President for the rest of the term. Witii
all due deference to the distinguished
Democrats who take this viow, wo must
dissent from their conclusions. Wi'h the
lights before us, wo oannot seo the urntter
in that way.
If a title to offioo in founded on fraud,
we do net co how subsequent action can
make it Rood. It makes no difference trow
many different courts may have tried a
cn.se, with the same result: upon the dis
covery of new ovideucc, the case may bo
tried again: except that, “Noperson shall,
f,,r tho same offence, be twice put in peril
of life or liberty." Wcdo think that tho
evidence elicited by tho investigations
may bo so conclusive as to utterly invali
date the title founded upon the decision
of the electoral commission: if it confirms
the confessions of Mel,in and Dennis, the
title is good for nothing. Neither do we
think the confusion and disorder would
amount to anything serious. Hayes has
op enthushetie friends, who would sup-
V irt him, right or wrong, with a strong
|\rl> to back them: his course has alien
ated the leaders of the Republican party,
met we believe they will conclude that
their prospect for success in 1880 will be
improvdjl by quietly allowing Hayes to he
pushed out of tho Presidential chair. Rut
our main reliance must be upon tho poo
pie. “ Fiat justilia, ruat civlum!" Let
justico he done, though tho heavens fall.
Satisfy the people that the present occu
pant of tho IVbite House was put there
in opposition to the will of a majority of
tho jteoplo constitutionally expressed,
and, unless we are altogether mistaken in
our estimate of American character, the
current of public sentiment will bo so
strong that no politician will dare to op
pose it, and Hayes will fool himself com
pelled to “step down and out."
TJIK RAIt.ROAI) TO TIIE I'ACIIM*.
Our people are almost unacquainted
with tho pending projects to build a rail
road on the lino of the Slid parallel to the
Pacific coast.
The peculiar situation of tho rival com
panies who aro seemingly struggling to
build tho road on this line would, to a
casual observer, make one conclude that
the connection through would be made at
an early day. lsut wo fear that the fact
that two different companies aro contend
ing over the question as to who shall build
it, will result in delaying tho work, instead
of pushing it forward.
The two parties who wish to build this
road are, the Southern Pacific And the
Texas Pacific. The Southern Pacific
company has built from San Francisco
coming east to Fort Yuma on tho border
of Arizona—over six hundred miles of tho
road—and aro now asking congress for
permission to come on to El Paso, it being
necessary to get .an act of Congress before
the road can be built through the terri
tories of Arizona and Now Mexico. The
Texas Pacific company has built about
five hundred miles through the state of
Texas, and have a bill now (tending before
Congress introduced by Mr. Stephens,
of this statj, asking aid from the govern
ment to continue their road on to the
Pacific coast on the lino of the 32d paral
lel. Very recently Senator Johnson, of
Virginia has introduced m the senate a
bill to amend the Texas Pec fie railroad
bill- 'I he railroads inch ded in this bill to
which subsidy is to be pai l are as follows:
The Texas and Pacific from its terminus
at Port Worth to a point at or near Ml
Paso, on the Kin Grande; the Galveston,
Harrisburg and bW Antonio railway
company from its present terminus at San
Antonio to a point at or near FI Paso, on
the Rio Grande; International ami Great
Northern railway company, from Donald
sonville, in Louisiana, to Orange, in Tex
as; the North Louisiana and Texas rail
road company, from Shreveport to Mun
roe, in Louisiana.
Those companies, with a few others,
aro to be assisted under this bill to the
amount of ten thousand dollars per mile
—the aggregate amount of which it is
claimed will bo about eighteen millions.
These roads are all to centre at Ml Paso,
and the Soul hern Pacific claim that they
will connect at I'll Paso without any aid
from the government.
The friends of the Texas Pacific com
pany say that this bill was introduced to
defeat their lull, and that they have no
sympathy with it, and that they want the
Stephens bill to pass, giving their com
pany aid in build the road to the Pacific
coast.
The questions involved in these enter
prises, are of the greatest importance to
the people of the south They are aim st
a unit for a road on the 32d parallel.
They are willing for any company to build
it that will do it speedily, and with as lit
tie cost as possible. They want the
questions between these rival companies
settled during the present session of Con
gross and the way made clear for some
company to g*vo us a railroad on the .'i-’d
parallel.— Constitution,
Al out August, 1877, Captain Lucius
Tiavers, of Carroll enunty, Virginia, tiir-l
70 years, married a dashing and beautiful
woman of 22. He was wealthy. On the
27th of April ho remonstrated with her
fur the freedom of her conduct towards a
Baltimore drummer, a former admirer.
High words ensued, and when they retired
for the night, both were in bad humor.
In about an hour she slipped into the
diningroom, got a carving knife, and eu 1
his throat from ear to ear. he then
carried his body off. and threw it into a
creek near t<y. It was found the next
morning. It was traced from the house
to the creek by clots of blood on the grass,
and she was arrested on suspici m. Be
fo-o the coroner's jury she said that he
had walked out soon after retiring, and did
not return. The jury were about to agree
upon a verdict that the murder was com
mitted by some person unknown to them,
when she burst out crying, and cnnfe- cd
the crime. She was taken to jail, and
soon tried to commit suicide by stabbing
herself with a pair of scissors. It was
afterwards learned that tho had buried
the bedclothes and her night robe, and
hid the knife tip the chimney.

Richmond's reverend sun-mover does
not stand alone. The Rev. 0. 11. Parker,
a colored preacher of Pittsburg, thinks
that Brother Jasper’s astronomical theory
may be correct. “According to the Bi
ble,” lie remarks, “tho sun moves; and
if wo believe that the Bible is inspired,
we must believe that God would not in
spire the writers to say anything that is
not true.” He then wont on to state that
in his opinion, however, tho question
was still an open one; not because there
could be any doubt as to the inspiration of
the Bible, or that there were not Scrip
ture passages to show that the sun did
not move, but because there might be
mistakes in the traslations. The Rev. G.
W. Jackson, of Allegheny, knows Brother
Jasper well, and considers him an in
spired preacher. Cincinnati Star.

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. (!., May 21,1878.
From the committee appointed by
Speaker Randall under Mr. Potter's reso
lution we inay hope to get at the whole
truth in regard to Florida and Louisiana.
What new statements ot fraud, if any,
may he received, is of course matter of
conjecture; but well informed men expect
ample confirmation of much that’ lias
heretofore been denied when charged, nr
which has been more conjecture. 'I he
vigorous efforts of Republicans to prevent
investigation showed that they feared the
result. It is not believed the Hale
amendment, not accepted as a part of the
resolution, will bo passed as a separate
measure. It provides for an Investigation
into the election in 1876 in the State of
Mississippi.
In the memorable contest over the
resolution, Mr. Potter showed excellent
sense and admirable temper. Speaker
Randall was equal to the occasion, as he
always has been, and his ready and com
plete mastery of the situation was the
more remarkable when it is remembered
that Mp“akor Hlaine, perhaps more
thoroughly versed than any other man in
parliamentary law and tactics, was often
on the House floor giving aid and com
fort to the Republican leaders. Perhaps
because lie was olio of the implicated
parties, Mr. Garfield left to Mr. Hale the
management of the Republican side of
the contest, au i Mr. Hale perhaps did as
well as any one could in a lad cause.
The immediate effect of the pa.- ago of
the resolution or. the Democrats of the
House must be good. They were going
Iroui bad to worse in hopeless dissension
on various matters, and apologizing for
themselves to the R< publican minority.
This, I think, is over, and that we shall
now see them insisting unitedly on the
reductions and reformation promised at
the beginning of the session and o ; the
stump at the last election. Senator
MoCreory, who has riot been given to
overmuch speaking, created a sensation ;
the other day by making an exceedingly
able and effective speech in favor of the
repeal of the resumption act. It was one
of those rare speeches which so briefly,
clearly, ami forcibly, says all there is to be
said on a question, that all that comes
after it seems to be only reptti'ion.
In connection with the statement of
that eminent civil service reformer, Mr.
Ha) •es, that lie should contribute to the
Republican campaign fund, and would be
pleased if other officials would do so, at
i :ntion is invited to a section of a law
passed a year ago by a Congress made up
of "machine politicians’’ of the two
parlies, which makes ii a misdeun aaor,
punishable by a fine of SSOO and removal
from place, for one class of Federal
officers to do anything of the kind. The
assessments are now going on, however,
and though they may not be as open as
when Zaek Chandler was at the head of
affairs, they will be just as certainly
in forced.
The Republican Congressional com
mittce bad better be re organized. Its
recent address to tho people of the
country, signed by Kugcuc llale, Chair
man, and George C. Gorham, Secretary,
and which is doubtless the work of the
latter, is a ridiculous document- It
sneaks of the proposition to investigate
the Florida and Louisiana frauds as an
“attempt to Mexicanize the government,”
and uses other equally nonsensical lan
guage. l’he writer must have felt certain
that something would be found out which
would make it necessary lor Mr Hayes
to retire from office, or else he wrote
without any definite idea of what he was
writing about- Seminoi.e.

England, Russia, and Austria, a e

possible, fite object of Count Fehouva

week. It is thought that be went to tell
his government what he was satisfied they
must concede if they wished to avert war;
that he succeeded in convincing the
emperor that he was right, and carried
baek with him to London an offer on the
port of Russia to s,,b oil to a congress of
European powers all that part of the
treaty which relates to Europe, and to
treat with England individually about the
Asiatic clauses. If these conjectures are
correct, war will probably he averted, and
the congress will be likely fo meet, next
month: but unless some of those entrusted
with tha secret prove more leaky than
they have hitherto done, nothing positive
will be known till the answer of England
has been communicated to Russia.

HON. W. 11. I KI.TON,
In our la-t issue an article was published
stating that Dr. Felton would not vote on
Mr. Potter’s resolution of investigation,
which was, under the circumstances, a
much more effective way of showing an
utter want of sympathy with the object
ot the resolution than if he had voted
against it. We thought at the time that
the statement was true. Having since
become satisfied tha it is incorrect, we
print the following card from Dr. Felton
stating the facts:
House or Repkesentatives, 1
Washington, May 23, IK7h. j
Messrs Mditois —The Rime Courier of
the 21 t. inst., gives an extract from the
Loni-vil o Courier- Journal found in these
words: “Messrs. Htephonsand Felton, of
Georv ia, failed to pass through tee tellers,
and thus helped to break the quorum.’’
file above, so far as I am concerned, is
false in every particular, and the words of
the Courier, “that Felton went hack so
far as to refuse to have his nose counted,’’
are absolutely untrue.
During that entire deadlock in the
Hnuso, 1 never failed to pass through the
tellers with the Democratic party, and
have always voted steadily for investiga
tion. Respectfully,
W. H. Felton.
THE FIGHT OVER THE I It.VtTIS.
A gentleman in the confidence of the
President, and having perfect knowledge
j of Mr. Hayes’ views re*|>coting the recent
revolutionary proceedings of the Demo
cratic majority of the House, said this
; evening that the President, while main
taining his natural equanimity of temper,
was not inclined to look lightly on the
situation. Ho did not think it was a
matter to treat with indifference. Great
events in history had sprung from smaller
beginnings. The present movement
originated at Annapolis only a few weeks
ago, and when the resolutions of the
Maryland legislature were published to
the country they were received with de
rision, and their author characterized as
a nindman. At that time great difficulty
was fnind in peisuading any Senator to
present them to the Senate, and when
finally Senator Dennis submitted them lie
did so in st speech riisclai ping an;, sym
pathy with their e suents. Tram: g the
movement from it.- birth, the Pro si lent
has been struck wilt its raps 1 gr*;vtl.
Ho p'iiut to the i „'ni‘i•• sot ess ,:e • ane
that such iirl p orient and influential
men as Alex m ler II St -piiciM are al
ready powerless to stay th - caucus man
date. Whatever the result of the iuvs ~
tication might be, whatever disclosures
might result therefrom, the President
entertained no fear that anything eouid be
hrooeht hoi... in him. If' any person
made any promises in hi- behalf, or en
tered into any bargains, they did so with
out his knowledge, and he hoped their
acts would be exposed.
’I he President regards the action of the
Southern Democrats in supporting the
investigation scheme as ungrateful in the
highest degree, irrespective of other con
siderations. When he a s.tmed the ex
ecutive. office he found the South, or a
large portion of it. distracted and toin
asunder by political strife almost border
ing on rev > ution. He gave the South
peace- South Carolina, and especially
Louisiana, were restored to the rule of
ih native population, and tho carpet
bagger ceased to bo an element in South
ern polities. 'I he President, of course,
acted from a strict sense of public duty,
and claims no reward at the hands of the
South tor doing what he was bound in
conscience to do; but he cannot avoi 1
being a witness t > the ingratitude evm ed
by the representatives of the South to
the man who, above all others, has had
their welfare and happiness, iri common
with the rest of the Union, sincerely at
heart.
With reference to his title, the Presi
dent c 'needed that, it cou! 1 bo contes'e 1;
but there was only one way to test the
question, and that was by a writ of quo
warranto , which was the only remedy
provided by law when he became Presi
dent. The act creating the electoral com
mission specially declared that nothing
therein was to be construed as impairing
or affecting any right, then existing under
the Constitution and laws, to question by
proceeding in the judicial courts of ti.e
United States the right or title of himself
and Mr. S\ heeler, if any such right at
that time exsted. i’he President ad
mitted that Mr. <•' : n's only remedy at
present washy aw;.; of qm warra.to,
and such a writ .vas a pr.ro:stive writ,
and not obtainable as a matter of right,
but only in the discretion of the court,
and he double . whether any court would
grant it. The President also concedes
t:,e power of Congress to pass a retroac
tive law, t provid. net means of test
ing the tit!, to tin Presidency, as the
office can never be said to c in the past
but is always in the piv.-em. As to his
iui. caohmei . being < r ten i by the House,
the President has nt t the remotest idea
that such an occurrence is even among
tn' possibilities. The Piesi.lent is fu lv
alive t ■ she exigencies that may arise,
and will -< e to it that the public peace is
maintained and the laws enforced at
w hatever cost, lie proposes to follow the
policy already marked out by his admin
istrate i'. and will take no backward step.
