Disastrous Failure?

From the NelC York Herald.
President Hayes has it 10 his power to
make his administration either one of the
most successful or one of the most dis
astrous in history. 1t may be as brilliant
as that of Jefferson or as ludicrous as that
Of Tyler. But he must continue in his
heroic policy until he has formed new
party. When he threw aside the barons
OF the Republican party, the carpet bag
barons like the Blaines, the Chambers, the
Camerons, and the Buffers, he invoked a
spirit which will rise up and destroy him
unless he destroys it. The men whom the
new president has in the most public
manner repudiated are the men who
made him president, without whom he
would still be in Columbus the men who
can wreck his administration before it is
launched. lie must not despise nor deride

administrator on said occasion would state
that the ordinance was attended to in harmony
with the usual custom of the great body of
Baptists of all ages, who believe and practice
this ordinance. The stigma or opprobrium seems
to attach to it by the writer representing it as
in accordance with the belief of Campbelliteism,
&c Not being acquainted with this non.
descrpt. we dis claim any alliance with it. Had
the writer connected the name of Mormonism,
or score of other isms, the opprobrium would

our thanks for not writing more disgracefully
of the administration of one of the most sacred
ordinances in the Christian church. viii Wan

Christian ethics, that hereafter in writing in

he has met with good success Since then | see
by the county papers the call of the corporators

concede the fact that much of the future success
of the road will depend upon the action of the
stockholders on that day. and would urge up
on each one to be present and vote for good
business men for directors as they will elect the
PRESIDENT Of the road, and much depends upon
the man they place at the head of affairs
He should not only be good business man, but
he should be knOWn as Such, to business men
along The wtole line Of the Rodd, and particularly
so in Baltimore city. where we have right to
look for liberal subscriptions. They should
select for President some business man so well
known that but few would have to ask who he
is, such man as L. Stanley Rogers.

Much uneasness has been caused at Wash
ington by the announcement that Wells and
Anderson, the chief members of the infamous
Louisiana Returning Board, have been in
dicted by the grand jury for falsifying cleo
ton returns and for perjury in connection
Herewith. President Hayes, ii is stated, COM
plains that this action is in violation of an
agreement under which he withdrew the
troops from the support of Packard, and al
lowed Nichols, the lawfully elected Cover
nor, to assume undisputcd executive control
of the State.
The cases against Wells and Anderson will
in all probability come to trial, when the full
extent of the Louisiana infamy will be laid
bare before the eyes of the whole world No
wonder Mr.. Hayes is anxious and troubled
at the spectre of an outraged people, which,
in one form or another, is continually rising
no before him. But lie may well say of this
last appearance "Take any other shape
but that" He deliberately shut his eyes
and his ears to the truth regarding the re
suit of the Presidential election. He accept
ed the position under what he flattere him
self were "the forms of law" believing, no
doubt, that the question would never be re-
opened.
1t is true, no process of law exists by which
he can be ousted from his seat, no matter
how strong the proof in courts of law that
his title is fraudulent. His is one of the eX
ceptional cases of wrong without remedy.
But it is necessary for the truth of history
and to prevent a repetition of the offence,
that the true inwardness of the conspiracy TO
defeat tie will of the people of the United
States should be made clear. If bargain
was actually made between the friends of
Hayes and of Nichols, they alone are con-
cerned in keeping the compact; but thous-
ands of people in the United States were
made to believe that the election was in
doubt and that the Electoral Commission was
the only mode of deciding it without blood
shed. To satisfy their doubts, as well as for
the higher principle of justice, Wells and
Anderson should be fairly and mpartially
tried for the crimes charged against them.
If they are found innocent, it will, in meas
ure, allay the doubts which even many honest
Republicans feel in regard to the election of
Hayes. If they are guilty of forging election
returns and swearing to n lie, no bargain
whatever should shield them from punish
ment. Neither Mr.. Hayes nor Mr.. Nichols
have any right to compound felony.
IfPresident Hayes does anything, directly
or indirectly, to discountenance or discourage
the courts and juries from doing their sworn
duty under the law, in this case, and the fact
is proven, it will amount to a confession that
he knew when he took his seat he had no
right to it. Ifhe remains passive, and Wells
and Anderson are convicted, all the world
will wonder, if he should retain the place
which belongs to another. Either horn of
the dilemma is sufficient to impale him in
disgrace. Is it surprising, therefore, that he
is anxious and alarmed Mt the news from
Louisiana?
