An irrcvcrcnt exchange remarks that the
Republican party reminds it, in its search
after u revolution by the Democracy, of the
old maid who looked under her bed when
she RETIRED night after night, expecting tu
find man. History, if we are not mis-,
taken, records the fact that the old maid in
question was finally rewarded for her vigi-
lance by discovering pair Of boots, which
on being investigated, were disclosed to be
attached to the body ola robber The old
maid then tainted. The Man Under the

PRESIDENT HAYES mind is possibly so
organized that he cannot look behind him,
so to speak, for political strength, or it may
he that lie feels assured of the political sup
port OF those who have ever been accus-
toned to labor for the advancement of the
Republican party and its principles BE
this as it may, he appears to be constantly
looking outside Of the Republican ranks for
further assurances Of safety in the present
pcrilOus political situation. Thus it hap
pens that Mr. ALIEN. II. STEPHENS argu-
meut against the Grcasrr revolution is lust
now uppcrmOst in his mind, and that he
is capable Of coquctting with the Opposi-
tion after the following manner. Com.
mcutng upon possibility that the major
ity of the House, which does not now rec
ognile him as President except nOminally,
would confirm his title by impeaching him,
he is reported to have said:
They can imprach me ia the House Of Rep
resGntatives aud try me in the Senate. There
is no other way in which | will recognize any
attempt Of Congress to remove me. But ] do
not believe that the United States Senate has
fallen to that point where high.caSs Demo-
crats, like BAHARD and THUEMAN, GORDON
aud HILL, will agree to make the Senate u
vehicle for carrying out the revolutionary edict

JUDGE KEY is now accused of having hu-
inflated himself by accepting Office under
President HAYES. A writer in yesterdays
Post grows eloquently earnest in his de-
nuncation of the nominal" Postmaster
General in this connection. Neither Mr..
KEY nor the President are, in his opinion
entitled to any credit for the Southern pol
icy of the Administration, because the
President, ns he declares, simply submitted
with the best grace to au ineXorable ne
"ccssity." We quote further:
The country is indebted for that policy and
| its poor results to Mr. MORRISON aud the House
OF Representatives, when the latter refused ON
the formers motion, to appropriate single
dollar for tho payment Of troops used in the
subvcrsiOn Of local governments. 1t is true
that Mr.. HAYES made u virtue Of his necessity.
| 1t was even charged that he wrung from the
/ bcledguCrcd states assurances that their repre-,
| scntativcs would sustain his fraudulent title il
he would but hasten their relief
1t is with dOublc-barrclcd satisfaction
that we reproduce this evidence of Demo
cratic ingmtitudc TO the President. First
because it proves that the Southern Democ,
racy is as naughty and disdainlu of favor,
at the hands OF the Administration rs W,
have always claimed it to be, and, second
because it shows that Mr. MORRISON ha,
done something besides drawing his pay
since he has been in Congress; affords faiu
suspicion at least that he has not beer
asleep ever since the late Mr.. KERR wa,
elected TO be Speaker. But it is with til,
first reason for this dual satisfaction tina
we have especially to deal now, and we con
clude all consideration Of it when we com
mend it to the particular aud personal at
tentiOn Of President HAYES.

At any rate, we have as proof of this asscr-
tion the following apparently unguarded
remark of the writer of the reply to Judge
KEYS recent Open Letter:

This is very remarkable statement, and,
If true, one that is not calculated to increase
the serenity said 10 he so characteristic OF
our nominal" President. But let us have
the names of the three Republican Senators
alluded to. Will Mr.. KEY give them to the
publicp
National Republican., 1878-06-01

lN one breath the writer of the reply to
Judge KEYS Open Letter declares it to be
the policy of the Democracy to expose the
alleged frauds hy which President HAYES
reached his Office, but to submit to them
quietly. and in the next he writes:
Finally, and this is the object of your Judge
KEYS letter, you appeal to such of the people
OF the South aS may be- willing or sufficiently
courageous to recognize you rs one Of their
number, TO continue in submission to the
fraud, in order that tho peace of the country
may he assured. The peace you crave seems
to bc the peace that passes all understanding
While the fraud was being enforced you couu-
sclcd submission. because no mlttcr what
wrong was inflicted it was still within the
power of the people to rtctify. Now that it
has been made operative You counsel submis
sion, because il has been successful. In other
words. you would do nothing to apprchcnd
thief while in the act OF the commission of Ii-
crime because he had not accomplishc it nor
thereafter because he WAS no longer engaged
in its commission
If this means anything it means re-
volt against an alleged fraud that has
" been made operative that President
HAYES stole the Presidency and must be
punished for his crime, and that he does not
enjoy immunity from that punishment for
that crime because lie is mo longer en-
gagged in its commission" Taken alto
gcthcr, this is a very remarkable letter,
and, whoever its author may be, it is evil
dent that he has imcLUtiously, in his anger
toward Judge KEY, betrayed the full scope
and intent OF the new Democratic rebellion.

President HAYES has been interviewed
again, this time by that ubiquitous scribe
who conccals the name and peculiar fame of
GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND under the sig
nature of "GATH." The President should
have known better than to tell it" in
GATH's presence; but he did and now the
whole thing is out. But the country will
breathe lreer when it ltarns, even from this
source, that he is determined to deliver the
Executive office in its integrity to his sue
ccssor" 1t is to be hoped he will succeed
in this determination.

II Il is n crime, as the Greascrs so vche-
mcntly charge, for Democratic Judge KEY to
have accepted and to remain in the Cabinet
of Republican President, even though lie
be nominal President, it was certainly
mistake to appoint him. The logic of this
is pertinently applicable to the expectations
to Republican oilice-hodcrs who seek rctcn-
tion or reappointment in the event of Dem
ocrntic success at any time in the future.
To these eXpcctant idiots We say briefly
that the Democracy inauguratcd the policy
Of To the Victor Belongs the Spoils in
this country, and that their present seeming
devotion to civiI-service reform is sham.
II they ever do get power again in the Ex-
ecutive Departments they will return to
that policy post haste. The way to retain
your Offices, you unseldsh " patriots, is to
retain the Republican party in power

was mere dead wood that was maliciously
thrust into the convention and was promptly
kicked out of the way.
The case is different now. The question
OF title is raised by the popular branch of
the law-making power and with view TO
revolutionary action and consequences The
Republican party to man accepts the issue
as now presented by the revolutionists, and
will place itself sternly between these con-
spirators and the consummation Of their
conspiracy, determined to defend the law
upon which the Presidential title is based
and the nation from the insidious assaults
now being made upon its peace and well
fare by its worst and most implacable enc
mics. As Mr.. STEPHENS very justly re-
marked, this POTTER movement will either
turn out ridiculous farce or terrible
tragedy. and 1t is to protect the country
against the latter that the Republicans
stand arrayed solidly against it, and will so
stand until the storm passes and the stabil-
ity of the Government becomes assured.

II is n matter OF history that on the
eventful Friday night of March 3, 1877, the
Republican minority in the House trembed
with nervous and anxious fear lest the Til
dcnitcs should revolt against the decara-
tiOn Of the electoral count. When Mr..
BLACEBURN characterized the hour, mid
night OF hangman's day, as fitting for the
occasiOn-meanimg the consummation of
what lie termed to BE- the electoral fraud
Mr.. WILLIAMS, Of Wisconsin, replied to him
in appropriate terms, thanking him for the
suggestion and proceeded to characterize it
rs a fitting occasion for the crucifxion of
the bastard reform Democracy. But here
Mr.. WILLIAMS stopped on the very thrcs-
hold of his striking smile and turned the
flow of his remarkable rhetoric into cau-
tious use in praising the SOuth for her re-
turn to patriotic ways, and picturing hope
lul prosperity for that section in the future,
guaranteed by reunited country 1t was
n critical moment. If Mr. WILLIAMS had
not adroitly turned his bitter and dcser, ed
retort into pleasant and diplomatic. phrase
of unsought and undeserved conclia-
ton, the Southern tirc-caters would have
been provoked to frenzy and no doubt at
tempted then and there the McxicLnization
programme they are now pursuing In
other words, MIR. WILLIAMS moderation
had much to do, ag much rs any other single
agency, III securing peace where trouble was
threatened and in placing President HAYES
in the Office where he rightfully belongs
These facts are not only important rs a part
OF the hitherto unwrittcn history of that
critical period, but as evidence of what the
Grcascrs now have in view if their impend-
ing revolution is not checked. Congress adj
joarned the next day after this exciting in
cident and when it rcusSemblcd in October
this same silyer-tOngued ire-eater Mr.

speech, almost in the hearing of the Execu-

already read his doom in the handwriting
Of the then recent Democratic victories in
Ohio. Can any one doubt that the covert
