When Will COnkling be Heard.
From the Syracuse Courier,l
The Sun says: The foremost states
man of the Republican party, he who
alone is heard with respectful attention
by the whole people, keeps unaccustom-
ed silence. 1t is known that he recoiled
from the frauds of the Returning Boards,
and the greater fraud of the Joe Brad
ley decisions. When he speaks,s his
words may go to the roots OF things
present, and tear up the spurious title
itself from its foundations of fraud and
perjury. ga ~ . -f'

1t may be that this movement is not a
concerted one, and that the sympathy
which a, few strong men in the Republi-
can party seem to have for it causes it's
importance to be exaggerated, but there
are those among the Presidents friends,
men of long experience and rare Hpolit
ical sagacity, who are looking for. a
strong Republican demonstration ,du-
ring the extra session of Congress
against some of the most important
features of the Presidents policy.
The Sting OF an Adder,
!. From the Kennebec Journal
The appeals of the down trodden
Poles against the dismemberment of
their country and the oppression and
wrongs which they endured were not
more pathetic than is the farewell of
Chamberlain to the people of South
Carolina who have sustained through
their support of him the cause of Right
against Might. To those advisers of
President Hayes who have led the way
in the abandonment of the Republican
party in the South the words of Cham
berlain must be like the sting of an ad.

and chamberlain.
BosToN, April Ex-senator Blaine, in
a telegram to the Herald, says:i"I am
sure Governor Chamberlain knows that
be has the profoundest sympathy in the
heroic but unsuccessful effort he has
made in South Carolina for civil liberty
and constitutional government. I am
equally sure Governor Packard feels
that my heart and judgment are both
with him in the contest that he is still
waging against great odds for the Gov
Iernorship, that he holds by title as val
id as that which justly and lawfully
seated Rutherford B. Hayes in the Pres
idential chair. ! trust also that both
Governors know that the Boston press
no more represents the stalwart Repub-
icani feeling in New Eagland on the
pending issues than the same press did
when it demanded the enforcement OF
the Fugitive Slave Law in 1851"
The Patent InexorabIe Fact.
aaia From the Rochester Democrat1H
We are not required to enter upon an
elaborate comparison of the tive poll
eies that were open to the President
We simply indicate the patent, inexora-
BILE fact that the course adopted is not
one over. which the loyal heart of the
republic rejoices,o however strongly its
Judgment may approve. Itis true, isit
not, that the South Carolina settlement
will be regretted, If not disputed, by
the majority OF those who remained
steadfast to the Union, ia storm as well
as in sunshine; by those who barred
their breasts to defend the land they
loved; by those who have suffered for
their country by Americans everywhere
who hold freedom the dearest of earthly
blessings; by those. who uphold the
standard Of justice as well as. that Of
mercy; by those who have come out OF
great tribulation, bringing with them
the memory of years of unrequited 10.
bor, and bearing the stripes of the slave
drivers whip, and. who, in. every throb
of their heart, in every pulsation of theil
being, testify, their loyefor the country

Ben Wade's Letters ON thesubjec,
.-Ohio Republicans Demoral'
lied,
WASHINGTON, April 13.-For two day
past contradictory reports have been tel
egraphed in regard to letter written b,
Ben Wade denouncing President Hayes
and his Southern policy. The snbjec
seems TO be pretty constantly on Wade
mind, ss he has written two, if not thre,
letters, to different persons, none intend
ed for publication, the letters being OF
private business, and the political ntter
ances parenthetical. The letter whicl
has furnished the text for most of -th
dispatches is nearly month old, havin,
been. written on March 13 to a promi
nent officer In the Treasury Department
j Another of much the same purport, bu
Il couched in somewhat different language
has been received since, as already stated
| Applications for a copy of the first hav
been refused, but paraphrase of tn
passage relating to Hayes is as follows
I"Can you make out Hayes policy2 D.
Eyou think he intends TO abandon all hi
iiold friends2 II he does he will sail o
stormy seas for four years to come. Re-
, publicans around here hope for the bes
, bat are sadly demoralized by his course.
The early date of the letter must b
! borne in mind in reading this paragraph
As Ben Wade since then has had
chance to make out Hayes policy fo
himself, bis last utterances are yer
much stronger. .s.yy..e .a4,, c,i,
