A sensational story comes all the way
from California to the effect that Senator
Blaine has prepared a paper to b. Intro.
duced in the senate at the extra session
of congress to create new tribunal to
investigate and decide upon Mr.. Hayes
right to the presidency. We put no re-
lance in this story. and do not believe
Mr.. Blaine, or any other senator, would
be foolish enough to embark in so haz.
zardous an experiment. MIR. Blaine |:
sensational and not always discreet, bu,
we believe he Is too sbrewd politician tc
have anything to do with scheme so

charged TO him. But should there bt
| any truth in the story, the introduction
OF the paper in the senate would create

been known since 1850. 1t is asserted
that the paper in question is nothing
more nor less than series OF resolution.
setting forth that there exists Ia the
| minds OF large proportion of the Amer
lean people grave doubts as to the legal
ity and justice OF the final settlement of
the Presidential question which resulted
In the Inauguration Of Mr.. Hayes. The
resolutions then go on to say it is "due
to the American people, and particularly
to the millions who, while believing
that he hal been fairly

resolutions propose a grand court OF

untiring interest manifested BY our
merchants, the cheapness of money at
our banks, and the always accessible ont.

gent arguments in favor of
Cairo as permanent tobacco
market. Cairo, it is true, has struggled
with every vicissitude incident to the
