House, the President has not the re.
mOteSt idea that such an occurrence
is even possible. The President is
fully alive to the. exigencies that
may arise, and will see to it that the
public peace is maintained, and the
laws enforced, at whatever cost. He
proposes to follow the policy already
marked out by his administration,
and will take no backward step,
neither will he retaliate on those who
are attacking him by removing Dem
ocrats from office. He will 90 on
discharging his duty to the best of
his ability.
THE CHISHOLM MASSACRE.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 49,
Services in memory of the late Judge
Chisholm, son and daughter, MUIR
dered year ago in Kemper coun-
ty, Miss, We're held this morning in
the Metropolitan M. E. Church.
Rev. II. r. Naylor, the pastor,
preached short sermon before "a
large congregation, Mrs. Chisholm
being present, and Bishop Haven
pronounced the eulogy, in the course
of which he said:
One Indian Massacre arouses every
part of the land, be it the Modocs, Of
Oregon, or the Sioux, of Minnesota
or the Utes, of Colorado, or the
Camanches, of Arizona. Indignation
and wrath leaps from end to end of
the continent, and that too, when no
one dreams that the dread foe is to
steal again into Eastern homes and
renew his horrors at Wyoming or
Schenectady. But this deed has uni
versal national weakness: it breeds
universal national disaster, A peo-
pie that cannot protect itself is no
people. 1t falls to pieces when it
allows its members to be cut to pieces.
Applause.
We must carry forward and COM
plete the work in the national pro-
lection Of every citizen in his every
right. applause. We must defend
freedom of speech and freedom Of
ballot, or we perish from the earth.
To this coming perfection of national
peace and power this sad event will
contribute. This family group are
martyrs to American equality of
right, to the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence and to the preamble of the
constitution. 1t was for the cause of
equal rights the father fought and
the family fell. 1t was for the pro-
lection Of every citizen at the polls,
for true democracy; the government
of the majority Of the voters, legally
and fearlesSly expressed; for the
American nation; for the rights of
mankind, that this citizen of Amer
lea, With his brave son and Drawer
daughter, laid down their lives.
Their cries Of agony and death shall
never be forgotten. Never below,
never above. Their means the wales
redoubIe to- the hills, and they to
Heaven"
New YORK, May 19.-The Times,
commenting ON the action of the
House yesterday, says:
This whole business of investiga-
ton is the work of handful of men,
individually unimpOrtant. but able
So to Use the machinery of the caucus
as to commit the party in spite of the
better judgement of the majority of
its members. The resolution does
not express the mature result of Il
conference representing the party as
a whole. 1t merely tells the purpose
of a faction Of which Mr.. Tilden is
the guiding spirit and its ad ption
how abjeCtly members respond to
the requirements of the INSCRIPTIONS
men who hold the caucus screw.
The Nj6lot6 regards the action of
the House as revolutionary, and
says: The Democratic resolution is
not only indecent and knavish, it is
an tempt to get up new rebellion
against lawful authority. In either
aspect it could be resisted as matter
of right jim the latter it was duty to
resist it. Until the revolutionary in
tent is wholly defeated, republicans
ought to treat all compromises and
adjustments that may be proposed
precisely as peace at any price
Copperheads Were so treated when,
the first rebellion began.
The Herald says: No intelligent
man Of either political party can
longer G0ubt that this whole batch
of incendiary attempts were instiga-
ted by Mr.. Tilden.. He never did
anything more characteristic of ''still
hunt" methods. This astute and
secretive plotter who mistakes
cunning for wisdom, is no doubt
SINGER in thinking that he has been
defrauded of an Office to which he
was elected by the people, and he
probably iustifes to himself the I'M
derhand attempts he is making to
shake the stability of the govern
ment, imperil the public tranquility
and disturb the business of the cOun-
try. But neither his aim nor his
methods will be Endorsed by the
public sentiment of the country. If
the democratic party sets itself in
array against the title of President,
