In substance, requested them to dry up

over the matter should be pointed rs to

had been exhausted. He,would, il neces-

Der OF the most prominent Southern men
here have had frequent consultations OF
late over the propriety Of standing to-
Helher and discouhtCn aneing the extreme
measures Of Northern Democrat, has
become au open secret. Mr.. Tilden him

In addition 10 this Indication Of more
pacific attitude al Washington ou lbe

in the Washington "'gnr 81
Monday evening last, -, -,.,,.it7 =.
"0as Of the most hopeful sigg4 .,l the
lines is the calm, moderaIe attitude as
,umed by representative Southern men
like Hill, Stephens, Lamar and Crown,
The scheme 10 impeach the President, IL
wOuld seem, was defeated by the frm
stand against il taken by Southern Dem
Ocrats. Hon. Ben. Hill. Of Georgia, is
as saying that il the people Of
this country are mot capable 81 settling
the Presidential question without viO-
leNcc, they are not ii 10 have a President,
and OughIto be governed by hereditary
monarch; and further, that II the repre-
sentatives Of the people here in Wash.
ington could not settle amicably the prest
ent difficulty they opght ID go home and
give their constituents 4 chance to put
wiser men in their places. If such wise
CIuusel prevails, Weshall GET out of our
present political Complications with but
one President and an undivided Union."
Mr.. Hills counsel is certainly full o.
worldly wisdom-so full In fact as to
seem almost inconsistent with some Of his
anteCedents since the war both at home
Q
aud in Washington. Whether or not be
really expressed himself rs reported is
moi matter Of essential moment. The
language attributed 10 him embodies the
overwhelming public sentimshtt 81 this
country at this time, and the members of
Congress will find it out when they re-
turn to their constituents during the holt
days. GnRGge EHFs
