WAsHINGToN, May 10.
There is gresl desl OF buster in the
p,Doblican camp Snd plenty OF wild
,...ts Of red handed revenge on the
n,nocrsts for insisting on the right Of
,,goYss TO look into the Presid entail
,.,o8 Hale says the Republicans have
.,netbipg back that will knock the wind
,ntof the investig gation before the Com
ri,tss gets to work. Whist special
hpuder they have on hand
-, not been disclosed, and
Al. belived to exist. The policy
which they intend to pursue, however, Is
.,esrly defined. The address ofthe Re-
robljc.n ongressionsl Committee throws
down the guantlet and challenges the
Democratic party to tight it out on war
a.pss With the old Confederate border
a, pMty dividing line Every man
vso dares oppose the tactics OF men like
aLs and Conger is asssiled as Rebel
and traitor to his country. This Ian
ru,ge was approved by the Congressional
Committee, but it is criticized by many
Republicans as being imPolite and mex
pstisnt in the extreme. Those Repub-
Ic.ns who support Hsye8-and they are
more numerous tran sppears on the sur
hct-deprecste the unfurling of the
bloody shirt for the next campaign. They
ay they will not act with q party which
ha no living issue, but falls back on 8
nensgerie OF ghosts Of all sorts to fit
every emergency. There Is gong to be
sised question of leadership which may
disturb some OF the bloody shirt cslculs-
iiOls.
The Republican rank snd file are not
,.l wiling TO be led by the nose with'ut
bsrag consulted. They are Dutterlng |
lasir discomfort, and Il will require very |
lice NAL cement to prevent an ugly re-
volt.
Every body is fguri g on to-morrowS
programme, but nobody can say to GER
linty what it is going to be. 1t is very |
doubtful whether there will be another
isy st the White House or anything
Connected with the Presidential title,
gaIeSs the special committee shall
h announced. 1t is not be-
L7ed, however, that the Speaker |
viii announce the committee so early IN
as week. 1t is publicly said and by
nsny believed that the names will be
submitted to Tilden for his approval be-
,o'e they are announced in the House.
Carlson Potter, by custom and courtesy,
viii be Chairman. Morrison, Of Illinois
AN been promised place and Springer !
Of be same Safe wants one. Springer |
nt Slenger, of Pennsylvania are under |
@lsdsrstio0, if one be selected the other !
viii not! Clark, of Missouri is sure to 90 |
% because ne has good nose for crook
si1eS. Mcmahon, of Ohio IA conceded |
place. Ben Butlef is to
ESD of the Republican members of the
Committee The next Choice ia between
Foster and Monroe, both Of Ohio; Frye !
aPa! down as certain among the coming
men, LsPhsm, Of New York, has good |
nov, anu CODGer, Of Michigan, is pos
aoIiiy. Randall may be depended upon
@Pl!upA a committee which cannot be !
aloisd nor bullisd out of the line of in
ili!, Iti' very doubtful whether any |
more will be heard Of the Oregon inve,.
s5l'ion from me Republican side. Pot
"n'y ask % have Oregon included ss
