The action of the present House more
than suggests peril, provided both Houses Of
the next Congress should be Democratic.
The Senate Is quite certain to be so; and
hence, we call upon Republicans throughout
the country to heal up their differences and
unite in solid aud earnest effort to make
sure tnat the next House of Representatives
IS Republican. That will avert the impend-
ing peril and bring to naught the machina-
tlons OF the reckless Tildenites. The coun-
try cannot afford to take the hazards
of reopening the Presidential question. Aud
above all, it cannot afford to be Mexicanized
by having the title to the Presidential office,
once settled in the constitutional way, un-
settled in way unknown to the constitution.

the next election express an opinion that will

The Potter Committee.

One of the most alarming features of the
movement started in Congress by Mr.. Potter
is the change of tone in reference to it among
Democrats. When the proposition was first
made it was difficult to induce Democratic
Congressman to favor it and when it received
the endorsement of their caucus great pains
had to be taken to whip in the unwilling to
its support Its passage by the House was
received with strong expressions of disap
proval and alarm by the more respectable
Democratic journals, and congressman are
said to have received many letters of remon-
STRANGE from indignant constituents, offended
by this wanton disturbance of business peace.
Now all this is changed. Democrats, being
told from Washington that it is a good party
operation, are inclined to look upon it more
favorably. 1t is commended by the journals,
and the "indignant" Democrats have become
mild and acquescent.
That the original promoters of this busi-
ness purpose to push President Hayes out
of Office and to substitute Mr.. Tilden in
his place, there can be no doubt. 1t
is likewise clear that more aud more of
the Democrats are coming to take the
same view. They disguise it even to them
selves under one pretence and another,
but this is the ultimate end and aim. Doubt
less many of the more thoughtful aud pat
riotic of them will shrink from the act and
oppose the current for time; but they will
be swept along with the rest. Alexander FL.
Stephens can no more resist the force of this
movement than he could of similar move
ment in 1S6061 when he stood manfully and
long against secession, but finally yielded and
became Vice President of the rebellious con-
federacy. 1t is easy for Southerners to go
into this thing; their minds are accustomed
to think Of violence and revolution. The
Northern congressman will be somewhat
checked by the conservative feeling of their
constituents, but there is greater power
than this compelling them on in the revolu-
tionary way, and that is the power of the
office seekers. In every maus district the
most active and effective of his supporters
want place and they will insist upon having

Poyanuc Peope,b Mrs. II. B. Stowe (Fords,
Howard & Hubert: New York; Portland:
Hall L. Davis is one of the lifelke and fresh
portraitures of New England society a genera
tlon or two earlier than this of our day, in
which Mrs. Stowe excels. Dolly, the charming
little heroine, is the daughter of the village
minister, one of those so typical of the times
not far removed from immediate Puritan inAu-
ence, In whose hearts all kindly instincts
wrestled powerfully with dogmas of tremen-
dous aud ingenious severity. Among austers
but not the less tender hearted people, like their
frosty but kindly" climate of New England.
the little girl looks out upon life seriously as
young robin with feathery possibilities astir in
his uniformed wings stretches his head over
the edge of the nest The knotty doctriual
points of her fathers weekly sermons, the rustic
coquetries of Nabby, the "help"-a character
drawn with great liveliness and point-are Of
very nearly equal importance to the little gill
who watches everything with the keen interest
and disability Of comparison that is after all
the charm OF childhood. Hiel, the stage-driver,
the factotum of the village, is an admirable
| portrait. His Yankee trait of readiness to
pronounce snap judgment upon every
event from Adams fall to the fall elsc-
tioD, his shrewd, warmhearted aud practical
nature ara drawn with the sureness aud ease
which Mrs. Stowe can so well display in her
pictures of New England. Poganuc People is
less novel than series OF admirable sketches,
but the thread of the story is enough to hold
| them together and ensure the interest of the
reader-wh0 will be left happy by the touch of
romance that rounds to its pleasant ending the
story of Dolly's girlhood.

The Life Saving service on account of some
conspicuous failures, notably in the case of
the naval vessel and the steamship Metropo-
lis wrecked on the North Carolina coast, has
not received the credit it deserves. The re-
port of the superintendent for the year end
ing Jan. 80, 1877 shows that during that time
134 disasters occurred to vessels within the
limits of the operations of the service. On
board these vessels there were Just /, 800
persons. The estimated value of the vessels
was 81, ,9S5,6H and of their cargoes 81 ,3O6, ,5SS
making total valuation S3,293, 1922. The
number of lives saved was 1,451 and of those
lost 80. Shipwreckei persons numbering
1868 were sheltered at the stations, and the
total number of days shelter afforded them
was 1858. The total amount of property saved
was 1,713. .647, and the amount lost S1,579,-
6S5. The number of disasters resulting in the
total loss of vessels and cargoes was 81. On
nearly every ccsson of disaster aid of some
sort was rendered by the crews ofthe stations,
either in succoring the shipwrecked or in
saving property, and upon fifty occas ions, by
the use OF llfe-saving apparatus, an aggregate
OF S71 persons were landed.

it at all hazards. As the price of their sup-
port the average Democratic Congressman
will go to the next Congress pledged to use
every means in his power To put out Hayes
and put in Tilden.
The exact result OF all this no human
creature can foresee. The legal title of Pres
ldent Hayes is perfect and unimpeachable.
His election was declared by Congress in con-
formity with the constitution and the laws.
lie can be lawfully removed only by impeach-
ment for offenses committed since he became
PRESIDENT. He has committed no impeacha-
BILE offense, and an effort to remove him in
any other way is simply revolutionary. The
fomenters of this disturban probably do
not contemplate at present resort to
armed violence; but when angry and
contentious passions have become excited
by long controversy, men are ready to
take action which would be abhorrent to
themselves at the outset. 1t is dangerous to
take any step away from steady adherence to
forms OF law or to tamper with legal settle
ments. The Democratic action, in any view
OF the case, is reckless and unpatrotic. AT
its very best, it disturbs confidence, checks
business enterprise and postpones the return
to better times. Heaven grant that 1t do no
worse and that there be no new civil war.
Should war come, it would not be as before,
between great sections of the country, but
In every State, county, city and village
throughout this broad land, neighbor would
be pitted against neghbor in struggle which
would never end except by the utter prostra-
tion of the Republic, when we should well
come the strong hand of king or dictator to
restore peace even at the price of liberty.

THE agreement concluded between England
and Russia covers the following points, sub
ject of course to the revision of the Congress {:
Bulgaria is to be divided into two provinces,
one north of the Balkans, under prince, and
the other south of the Balkans, but not touch
ing the Egean sea, with Christian govern
or and government similar to that of an
English colony. The Turkish troops are to
permanently quit Bulgaria. England de-
plores, but will not oppose, the retrocession
of Bessarabia or the annexation of Batoum,
and reserves the right to discuss in the con-
gress international arrangements relative to
the Danube. Russia promises not to further
advance her Asiatic frontier or take indem-
nifty in land or interfere with the claims of
the English creditors. The question of pay-
ment is to be discussed by the congress,
which will also reorganize Thessaly, Epirus
and other Greek provinces. Bayazid is to be
ceded to Turkey, Turkey ceding the province
OF Katour to Persia. Russia agrees that the
passage of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus
shall remain in stdtu quo. England will
suggest at the congress that Europe reorgan-
ize Bulgaria, and will discuss the questions of
Russian occupation of, and passage OF troops
through, Roumania.
