Aphorisms Of John Bright.

In a speech delivered by the Righ,
Hon. John Bright before the "Rochdale
Workingmsn's Club and Chamber of
Industry, at Rochdale, on January o.,
he gave utterance to the following words
of wisdom:

should not allow them to send their

the ear, complained that no one would

CDIJOy EXCHANGE.

The meeting held at the Cotton Ex-
change yesterday at 80 p. m. was the
largest ever held In this city.
The object of the call was to express
the sentiments OF all the operators and
dealers in this great commodity, Of all
who were connected with trust and
interest Of the value OF one hundred
millions of dollars, in regard to one OF
the most brazen falsehoods ever dis
patched from this city.
This was the statement telegraphed
by Packard that his miserable fraud OF
q government was recognized by the
representatives OF the commercial
classes Of this city.
The answer to this atrocious false
hood will be found in the very emphatic
resolutions published In another col
umn, which we're unanimously adopted
and ordered to be telegraphed to the
President of the United States.
There was an earnestness and enthu-
siasm manifested at this meeting which

THE PRESIDENTS TITLE.

A Northern exchange before us
reiterates the statement that Mr.. Hayes
cannot set Packard aside without i'm
neaohing his own title. It Is hardly
credible that Mr.. Hayes will waste his
opportunities In vain and idle efforts to
c,,re the defects In his title to the
Presidency, The world Is too well
acquainted with the defects OF that
title. too familiar with the mass oil
political fraud in which 1t is based. for
Mr.. Hayes to hope to give 1t even an air
or fairness and legality. He cannot
make one crime rightful and innocent
by perpetrating another; he cannot
make the perjury and bad faith through
which the whole country was defrauded
In the matter of the Presidency, right,
and lust, and logical, by now using the
newer OF his high Office to defraud the
people Of Louisiana, In the matter Oh
their State government.
Mr.. Hayes title is already impeached
bv the whole country, and 1t will be
condemned by posterity. There Is no
law. human or divine, that can make 1t
rood. The establishment OF the Nichols
government cannot damage It, nor the
recognition of Packard improve 1t. Its
weakness is in the fact that it exists In
violation OF the constitution end laws
OF the country, and the only strength it
can ACQUIRE will be In such tolerance as,
;by wisdom and Cancellation. its posses
sor can secure. for 1t from the people.
Mr.. Hayes should, therefore, Ii he
wishes to strengthen his title, so shape
the policy Of his administration that 1t
will secure peace to the country and
give every section and State an interest
in the success Of its measures; and Ii
he hopes to escape the most shameful
and humiliating judgment OF posterity,
he must bestow some blessing upon The
country, which impartial history may set
against the crime by which he acquired
his high place and authority.
So far from Mr.. Hayes being logically
bound to recognize Packard, such a
course on his part would be the height.
OF unwisdom. II he were to attempt to
Justify the course Of the rascals who
stole the Presidency by recognizing the
ubiquitous pretensions of Packard, he
would whiten not q single stain upon
their records, nor add an iota Of legality
to his title, while he would plunge one
state into bloodshed and ruin, likely
convulse the whole country, wreck his
administration and cover himself with
infamy.
We have no idea that Mr.. Hayes will
make any silly effort to validate his
title by recognizing Packard. The issue
is no longer one Of title. Nothing the
President may do can change that. The
only question is, has Mr.. Hayes the ga
gacity and honesty to attempt to pacify
the country, heal its discussions, and
give the South peace and a new career
OF prosperity?
We can conscientiously say that zoe be-
lieue this is Mr.. Hayes purpose, and that
he aciu caT7'u it out.

a few days ago a man arrived here
and registered at the Inter- Ocean as
Father Leo, Omaha" He was so
drunk at the time that he could hardly
navigate. On Wednesday he applied
to Superintendent Davis for q pass to
Laramie, stating that he was a Chris.
tian minister, and had been detained
here by sickness. His manner was so
offensive that Mr.. Davis told him he
could not grant a pass, and referred
him to s. H. II. Clark, at Omaha.
The fellow telegraphed, asking a pass
on the same plea, and signing himself
as 'Father Leo Byrne." When the
west bound express arrived he learned
that his pass had not been received,
and asked Mr.. Davis what he should
do. Davis was courteous in his reply,
but the fellow addressed insulting
language to him and vas finally kicked
out of the office. He is undoubtedly an
impostor. Before leaving here he drank
freely, and took q bottle of liquor with
him. He is a small, stout-built man,
with smooth face and dark complexion.
