rial rebuke was yesterday. administered TO the
little squads OF home-guard Democrats led by
Hewitt and Fernando Wood, and urged on by the
New York World, which has been calling for the
impeachment Of the President and making silly
threats about war. Hewitt's proposition for the
Committed OF Inquiry looking 20 impeachment
was voted down In The Democratic caucus, and
the speech by Wood was denounced by Ben. Hhi.

among the more violent, IL a hopeful sign and one

the assertion that the South 10 prepared, by force
Of arms. TO seat Mr.. Tiiden, or engage In another

false. The very men most opposed 10 such Jolly

They have felt the shock OF battle and realized
the miseries OF war, and therefore shrink aRhast
at a renewal OF the dreadful spectacle. No. Hav.
