THE EXCITEMENT ABOUT MIX. hEhh'
PUBLIC OPINION SUSPENDED FOR TIE PRESENT
A DISPOSITION TO THINK OF THE MATTER CHAR
ITABLY.
lBr TELEGRAPH TO TIE rRrBUSEl
WAsHTNGToN MAY 3O.-The excitement over the
attack upon the character of Speaker Kerr mas ho'
subsided. and this most singular case has been
almost the only subject of discussion in public
places to-day. Mr. Kerrs friends show great lndig-
nation at what they call the wickedest political CON
spiracy that was ever invented TO destroy the cnl
acter of a man of unblemshed reputation, ana they
are making great preparations not only 10 Inpeacn
the character and veracity of the witness haihey'
but TO cause his prosecution for conspiracy ana per
jury, and to discover and bring to punishment 'hoSc
who they allege have joined with him IN the IN
famous plot. Mr.. Kerr in his brief denial yesterday
limited that he should expose the manner III whlch
the plot had been worked mp, and thus gave an IN
timatOn of the policy the defense will adOpt. he-
publicans who discuss the subject are as much uh-
decided in opinion as they were yesterday. III mas
been commonly remarked that the evidence against
the Speaker is strong as that against eX-secletuy
Belknap when the House voted to impeach hlm.
Notwithstanding this fact Mr. Kerrs case Is treated
with much more charity than thato thefalien Secre
tary of War; 1t would bcdcult to find respectable
Republican who will admit that he believes Mr.
nothing except speedy and complete refutatlon o.
the accusations against him can save him.
The one point in the case which seems to demand
explanation more than any other is the appointment
of a New-Yorkcr, and a Republican, to much
coveted place while there were no doubt many men
in Mr. KerI's own district, ard of his own political
faith who would have been glad to obtain the posi-
ton. Mr.. Kerr has always been looked upon as one
of the most scrupVousy honest men in Congress-
yet he has also been recognized as strong partisan
who would lie far less likely than many others to
give any Office which he might have had at his DIS
posal to a political opponent. If the attack upon
him is the result of political conspiracy, other ana
more prominent men than Mr.. Harvey have been
concerned in it, and the Speakers friends are de-
teImined that they shall not escape discovery ana
punishment. The only parallel in the recent poiIti-
cal history is the Safe Burglary Conspiracy OF the
District of Columbia Ring. Fit Is not conspiracy
then the fall of Speaker Kerr is greater than that
of Mr. Belkna7 If MIR. Harney's story Is true, hr.
Kerr is proved not only to have been brlbe-taher
but destitute of common prudence. The other
hypothesis is so Improbable that the majority ol
those who discuss the subject dispassonately sus-
pend their Judgment and wait further developments
