THE BLAIR IWBROELIO,

That Hihar business, rs seer from Llls dls-
tance, has IN awkward look. Il 1t leads to |
no crave complications twill be fortunste-
The explanation Of 1t is that probsbly given
in substance In the TRIBUNE OF Tuesday.
Three facts seem 10 be at this basis Of the
matter,
Fiszt, When Congress met-or at least
little before its ueetins-there wns appre-
hcnsion Of 4 Copperhead organization of the
House, which would have been. "a We ali
know. In the intcs.sts Of the rebellion, That
the President felt nervous about this matter
is natural enough, knowing, ~ he did, that
Erapplins with the rebellion is sufficiently
a{fficnlt with the full co-nperntiou Of Con-
,,,css INIT IN rarrx on fhe war with tbe re-
bell{on crrauixed in the House of Represent
atiycs was sufficient to appA 9 brave man.
1t the very lcast, it was certain that Ill use
fnI LEGISLATION would be blocked-treasou
would have bold vsicc in Washington, and
the gravest difficulties might be anticipated.
Those who beard the Copperhead Legislature
at Springfield plot and rant At their last ses-
sion could see what We might expect 1t the
National Capital.
To avoid this seemed worth to the Presi-
dent all the legal effort he conla make.
Gcns Blair and Schenck had been elected to
Gcueress-thoush BlaiE's seat WAS contest
ed; ret this would not binder his being
member long enough to assist in organizing.
Tint these Generals should thus be cncour-
aged 10 leave The army aud ta.ss their places
in Congress Is not strange, nor in any wise
blameWorthy.. Eut to take seats in the
House they must resign their military COM
mands. They did resign; with what "un-
derstanding'' is per Sc of no consequence.
But tho President did not accept their resig-
nations, It seems; he held them iu his hands
for future advisement~ In the meantime the
Generals take their seats and legislation goes
on.
But then second fact comes In. The
Blsirs ase troublesome set-especla1ly
