WHAT sweet time we should have
if the ultra Democrats could have
things their own way In the first
place, that House investigating COM
mittee will unearth frauds enough IN
Louisiana and Florida to prove beyond
doubt that the electoral votes of
those two states should have been CIV
en- to Tilden. That there will not be
the slightest difficulty in doing this, is
a foregone conclusion. Then the
seats of Hayes and Wheeler will be
declared vacant. OF course the SEN
ate will say Yea and Amen to this pro-
eeeding, and the president pro tenn OF
the Senate will be recognized as Pres
ident. OF course again, Thurman will
be chosen by the Senate. just how it
is expected that Republican senate
will chose Democratic presiding OIL
Ger, may puzzle the uninitiated ];
but that is neither here nor
there. Thurman is the coming
man, and Hayes will have to step down
and out. Hurrah for President Thur
man.
BY the way, what is to become OF
poor Sammy and his barrel of money !!
Is he to be left out in the cold! Base

gress concerning the investigation In
to the electoral frauds in Louisiana
and Florida, seems to have had hap
by effect upon the Hayes and anti
Hayes factions of the Republican par
ty. If reports are to be believed, the
Republicans will, during the coming
canvass, unite solid, undivided front
to their Democratic opponents. Ex-
listing differences will be sunk in the
great effort to restore a Republican
majority in the House of Representa-
tives after the fourth of March next.
We are rejoiced to hear that the Re-
publican leaders have concluded to
bury, for the present at least, the I'M
worthy, factiouS animosities that have
manifested themselves, ever and anon,
since the Inauguration OF Pres. Hayes.
With a united party in the North, and
anything like fair election in the
South, there is no reason why Repub-
lican supremacy should not be re-es-
tablished in the lower house of our
national legislature. And as this is
the great consideration of the coming
canvass, we hope to see Republicans
everywhere join heartily iii long
pull, strong pull, a pull all together.

of newspaper clippings relative 10 'he same
subject If extracts of that kind were OF value
to an investigating committee we cOulu SET
bov at wOrl, on our exchanges and turhifi
General Butler with cuttings by the pound
But if never occurred to us that such things
were evidence.
Toucbing incidentally upon the Florida case,
the committee produced the celebrated Mr'
Dennis and he did add a new touch TO a
story which we thought was already pretty
fully told. Mr.. Dennis is one OF an interest
ing band of converts who, upon the failure OF
their applications for Office, suddenly as
covered that they had consciences, and that
Mr.. HAYES was an atrOciOus fraud, ana thal
he had got into the Presidency by trick OF
which they were the guilty agents. Mr. Dennis
saws that while the visiting statesmen were
in Florida he became alarmed by notlclhg
rather too much intimacy between General
Francis c.. Barlow and a certain DemOcrauc
editor: and fearing "that there was some sort
"of trading going on by which the National
"ticket was to be saved and the State ticket
"sacriGced," he threatened the Republican
politicians that if anything OF That sOrt @ was
ATTEMPTED he would "give the State to Ill
"den.n If he ever did make such threat,
there was a frankness about 1t then, ana
there is a refreshing GOODNESS about the VOL
untary confession of it now, which we cannot
admire too highly. Mr.. Dennis IS evidently a
gentleman fitted to adOrn the highest circles
of society and politics, and we can understand
that when he saw General Noyes SAP
away to a first class foreign MISSION
leaving him nothing but a formal rec
ommendation to Office and certill-
cate of ostracism, his soul must have SICK
ened and his conscience doubled him up III a
perfect collie of remOrse.
But il is a curious fact that all the confess
ing witnesses agree in proving that the Ad-
ministration for which they pretend to nave
committed crimes never would do anything
for them They do not even allege that any
definite promises were made them; they do
not show that they succeeded IN obtaining
anv special recommendations to the President
from Messrs. Noycs and Sherman, who are
accused of acting as the Presidents paymaS-
tcrs: and il is not disputed that Mr.. Hayes
treated them from first to last with polite in
difference This is not the way the chefs IN
n conspiracy are accustomed to reward their
followers. The presumption from the INST
has been against the existence OF any con-
spiracv, and the evidence so far tends toward
converting presumption into certainty. Upon
the whole the business does not seem to pros
pcr any faster in the hands of Butler than
under his predecessor, Mr.. Potter.

When Gail Hamtons letters on the Civil Service
Reform and Refomcrs first appeared IN The
TRmuNF. in April and May of last year
the rather silly and spiteful suggestion was
made that she had been hired by us, with
large pccuniary considerations, to attack GER
tain politicians and newspapers. We noticed that
charge at the time far enough TO say that the con-
tuhutous lad been sent TO without our solicitation
and without one word Of stipulation either side
as TO price Subsequently, when our prospectus for
ISIS was in preparations an arrangement was
made with Gail Hamilton, at our sohci-
tation. and published far and wide. TO

upon 10 refer to last year. the wise susges-
tion being made by The Boston Coagregdiondtist
that TuE TRIBUNE is paid by Gail Ham,
ilton's friends for permitting her letters to
appear Undoubtedly she would not enter
on her list of friends any man of so poor
\ taste that he would not gladly pay any sum for
printing the letters rather than they should not be
ata For ourselves. one has yet tested the
warm and fearful welcome which he would receive at
this office should he present himself in the capacity
of Paymastcr to our Forces Hitherto the line Of
division has been sharply drawn; the friends and
the foes of Gail Hamilton take upon themselves
with promptuess and dispatch the task of reading
her letters, but with cheerful and absolute unanim-
ity leave to The TmBU the drudgery OF, paying
for them!
II is sufficiently amusing to observe that IN the
correspondence published, the Editor of The Con-
greratopalst seems actually to have thought that
Gal Hamilton was seeking some refutaton
and reparation, whereas she was evidently

COMING OUT At THE LITTLE END or THE
HORN

HORN.
The Democratic horn flares the wrong way.
They are continually going in at the flare and
squeezing out at the little end. If they could
only come out of any of their great
enterprises, their Investigations and what
NOT. with half the flourish with which
they enter on them, they might count
themselves reasonably happy. They start OIL
in the highest possible STYLE with large proc
lamations and elusive prospectuses, and be-
Gin Immediately to taper down to the small
est possible point. Every one is familiar with
the old-fashioned circus that used to
be hcralded by advertising pictures OF
the most wonderful feats performed by
snlendid men and beautiful women, with
Hooded horses magnifcently caparisOncd, and
all things on grand and prlncely scale. But
the circus, when it came was so tar from
realizing the expectations produced by the
show-bls, that the deluded spectator was fain
10 abandon thchrena, with its spawned horses
and awkward acrobats and feeble-minded
clown with stale jokes and rusty spangles,
and 90 out to get the worth of his money in
looking at the pictures OH the bill-boards.
The Democrats seem to be running that
sort of circus. They start with their eli
max. You must walk backward to get the
force of their sensations. From the petty
and insignificant results they reach in
any of their enterprises, you must go back
TO the resolution under which they began
their labors to find out what precisely they
were driving at. They advertise an oratorio
with e full concert troupe and abundant chO-
rus, and when the time comes lead in n sick
monkey by o string, without so much rs a
hand-organ by way of music.
What grand flourish of trumpets 1t was with
which they started in on their great policy
of retrenchment in expenditures. They never
tired of talking about the millions they had
saved and were going to save to the Treas
ury. How gracefully they tapered off toward
tho little end of the horn in this mat
ter, until we saw the little squeaking
outcome of it in an actual increase OF
appropriations and the passage OF
River and Harbor bill which was simple
grab and divide among Congressman
whose only desire in the matter was TO get
"something for the deestrct.' To find out

WHlT THE LABOR MOVEMENT REALLY
MEANS

When sensible man starts on any road he
wants to know whittier it leads. The work.
ingmen of this country are organizing in con-
siderable force, for the purpose of improving
their condition by political action, and it is
most important to them. as it is to the cOun-
try, TO know what end is to be reached if
their efforts are successful. Many OF them are
anxious to have it known that they have no
afliiation or sympathy with the Socialists or
Communists; that the tendencies of their de-
mands are in no respect represented by the
refugees from Paris, who want reorganiza-
ton of society "wIth no priest king, capital

RrrLER LITE POTTERl.

General Buffers Committee has invited all
tbe soreheads in the South to come to Wash
iroton and exhibit their wounds. And they
are coming in platoons. The scope and pc
riod of the investigation are being so rapidly
extended backwards by this energetic hurler
of bricks that the committee, forgetting all
about Sherman, has strayed far into the Ad-
ministration of General Grant, and the hor-
rors of ancient and half forgotten Louisiana
" "imbrOgliosn are coming back to haunt us,
like a revisitatiOn by last years Nightmares.
We are treated to the opinion of New-Orleans
politicians about the probabilities that Pack

If General Grant had not refused TO con-
tinue the use of Federal troops for
the purpose of uphOlding a State government

various cOniectures are ventured as to the In

the rival Legislatures. These "reminiscences
are not interesting, and they are not strictly

mittee was called together. But they may
serve to let in a multitude of the disappointed,

services to the party. their lies, their tricks,
and their rascalities, and all complaining that
