rHE LATTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

Republican newspapers express sat-
isfSction with Hayes letter of accept
ance. They can DO nothing else. Hav.
ing taken the man, they must perforce
take him as he is. 1t is impossible TO
make a silken purse ont OF a sow's ear
and with all the ingenuity they can mus
ter. the Republican newspapers cannot
pass of Gov. Rutherford b. Hayes rs a
statesman. He must stand 10y his own
public utteraDces and with
these, the party is bound to
ieign a pleasure that it does
not feel. For the closest scru-
tiny OF Hayes letter does not reveal
anything for which it is remarkable ex-
cept the cautious shrewdness with which
it avoids all allusion even to the one sub
ject on which the whole country is most
deeply interested: namely the specific
corruptions existing in the present adj
mnistration of the government. and their
reform under new administration. 1t is
true, Gov. Hayes refers TO reform in the
civil service aud promises 1.-THE speedy,
thorough and unsparlng prosecution and
punishment Of all public officers whc be-
tray public trust" but this is merely
abstract reference to corruption in Office.
1t Is not half as pointed or iucisive as
Grants ''lct no guilty man escape. ;"
which meant absolutely nothing, and so
far "A l.. "a ~ of ,tuh n
warming to such public robbers as those
of the whisky ring. or such spectators
as Belknap, or Robson or Boss Shep-
herd, it might have been penned by John
Mcdonald himself if he had been the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention.
and under such circumstances would
have caused no more of ftutter among
the vultures that have been fattening for
years at tue public treasury than it has
coming from Gov. Hayes. The Repub-
lican nominee has done no more. nor
any less, than the chief Of the
whisky ring himself would have
done in the same place: he has put on
an appearance OF virtue and hes declared
in general terms against corruption in
Office. He might have taken the bull
boldly by the horns and have spoken in
such unmistakable terms that he would
have excited the highest enthusiasm OF the
better portion OF the Republican party
and have compelled the respect and the
fear Of the Democracy. Bat he has rot
so spoken. His letter is characteristic of
the man. He can now, as before he wrote
1t. shake hands on the one side with Cur
It's, with Bryant. aud with Sclnirz. and
on the other with Joyce, with Mcdonald.
with Mckee, Babcock, and Bclknap. He
is the instrument of the unification OF
these two elements of tine Republican
party, and would lose his last hope OF an
election should the union not last.

GRANT As A DRIVER.

President Grant paid visit to Lam
caster, Penn, not long since. An cpl
sode OF the visit is thus related by the
Lancaster Mtelhgencer:
About 3 O'Clock p. m. the distinguished
company left the park tor Mr.. Duifey's
residence, whence the president started
for drive around the town. Mr..
Dutfy's colored man accompanied him,
Grant holding the reins. His appearance
attracted great attention, and the most
observant spectator declares that he did
not guide the horse with the skill which
Is generally accredited TO him as a horse
man. Indeed there is every reason, from
subsequent events, 10 believe that
the pure air and water for which Dufiv's
park is famous, had very exhilaraling
effect upon his excellency. lie drove
into Sam Rogers fish wagon, breaking
several spokes out OF wheel, aud so
arouslng the ire Of the indignant Samuel
that he jumped out and gave him such a
cursing as presidents seldom get from
fishermen. Hence the presidential
dryer wheeled of, and driving down the
street made narrow escape from col
lldlhS with au express wagon, when the
colored brother becoming alarmed for
his personal safety in the hands of such
reckless driver took the reins in his
own hands, drove up Back street to Duff
rvs house, fully satisfied with his expe-
Renee OF being driven around by the
president OF the United States.

The Belknap Impeachment case is going
forward rapiJly--much more rapidly than
was anticipated at its beginning. The
trial as il stands is umistakably fatal to
Gen. Belknap. The appointment Of
Marsh; the transfer Of the appointment
to Evans; the receipt of regular install.
ments OF money from Marsh, beginning
soon after the appointment was made;
the Endorsement of drafts; the full knowl-
edge of rascally charges for goods made
by Evans, the trader at Fort Sill; the
disregard of compaints-thesc have all
been fully proved already against the ex-
secretary. But the telling testimony is
not yet all In, and when it comes. if re-
ports direct from the managers are to be
believed, there will not be a plank for the
defense TO stand upon. 1t was supposed
that the direct examination on tn, part of
the prosecution would close yesterday.

clares an infieXible purpose to not be Il

the Democrats in November next will
attend to that little matter for him-that

candidate for second term, by electing
