The Revolutionary Committee.

The following is the committee an
nounced in the House on Monday, I'M
der the Potter resolution Clarkson n.
Potter of New York, William r. MOrri-
son of Illinois, Eppa Hunton of Vir-
ginia, Jonathan A. Mcmahon of Ohio,
j. C.. S. Blackburn of Kentucky, w. S.
Stenger of Pennsylvania, Thomas r.
Cobb of Indiana, (Democrats); B. F.
Butler of Massachusetts, Frank Hiscock
of New York, j. D. Cox of Ohio and
Thomas B. Reed of Maine Republicans
The most noteworthy thing in the
makeup of this committee, is the put
ting on of Ben. Butler as a Republican,
a man who has been more bitter towards
the President and his southern policy
than even the Democrats. Five men,
bers of this committee voted in the
House in 1876 that Tilden was legally
elected President. The fact that Butler
is fully identified with the Democrats
in their war upon the President, and
that they were anxious to have him put
on the committee, virtually gives them
eight out of the eleven members. The
committee is about as revolutionary as
speaker Randall could make it.

The Rutland Caucus.

After the article appeared in the Rut-
land Herald from which we copied last
week-charging irregular practices and
fraud upon the friends of Col Merrill
in packing the Republican caucus with
Democrats, ETC., the delegates elected
on the Merrill ticket came out in a state
ment in which they made a general de-
NAL of all the charges of the Herald.
This was published in that paper and
also in the Boston Journal
A day or two later there was reply
made to this Merrill statement by the
Proctor delegates, in which they claim
that their party and the Town Commit
tee endeavored from the first to have
Republicans only attend the caucus.
Democrats who expressed their inten-
ton of going to the caucus were told
that they had no right there. On the
afternoon previous to the caucus, when
it became known that Democrats would
attend the caucus in the Merrill inter
est, attempts were made by Proctor's
friends to agree with the other party
upon some impartial method of exclud
ing from the voting all but recognized
Republicans. This effort failing, the
Town Committee were requested to
adopt the admission ticket system.
This being adopted at so late an hour

withhold and not cast the votes, with
view to make a false charge as to the
election.
Second, that in point of fact there
was free and fair election in East and
West Feliciana, which was falsely pro-
tested and returned by said Anderson
and Weber, by which the votes OF those
parishes we're falsely and fraudulently
excluded by the Returning Board.
Third, that the offence of Anderson
and Weber was encouraged by assur-
ances from me with the view therefor
to meet this accusation, which, SO far as
it affects me, declare and know to be
absolutely destitute of even shadow
of truth.
WHAT THE SECRETARY OFFERS TO PROVE.
| respectfully ask and now make a
formal application for leave to be rep
resented before your committee by
counsel in the investigation of all
charges affecting myself personally. l
tender and offer to prove that I'D point
of fact the election in East and West
Feliciana parishes was governed and
controlled by force, violence and in
timidation, so revolving as to excite the
common indignation of all who become
conversant with it, and that proof
was submitted to that effect, not only
before the Returning Board, in evidence
contained in &c doc. No. 2, second SEES
sion, 44th Congress, but also in the tes-
timony taken by the Committee of the
Senate on Privileges and Elections, re-
port No. FOL, second session, 18th Con-
gress. l will, if allowed; furnish the
names of witnesses, whom | desire to
examine before you, to prove the truth
of this statement as to said parishes,
and that the protests referred to were
true, supported by testimony and prop
erly acted upon and sustained by the
Returning Board.
CAREFUL SCRUTINY OF HIS CONDUCT IN
To my personal conduct during this
examination invite your fair and can
did scrutiny, with the entire confidence
that not only myself, but my associates
of both political parties, acted honestly
and properly from sense of public
duty. l have requested Hon. Samuel
Shella6arger to deliver this to you, and
| respectfully designate him as the gen
tleman | would desire on my part to be
present to crOss-examine witnesses tes-
tifying in relation to the charges against
me, and who will, as my counsel, ten
der evidence in proof of this statement.
The favor of an early answer is request

over the result of the Presldentlai eiec-
ton. ,;,
expresses no anxiety, believing that the
conntry will look upon the movement
as one started by the Democrats for the
purpose of making campaign capital.
The opinions of the Governors OF
the late slave-helding states present a
marked contrast when compared WIN
those of Gov. Robinson of New YORK;
Williams of Indiana, and other Northern
Democratic Executives. Gov. wade
Hampton of South Carolina, for IN
stance, is OutspOken in his hostility TO
tbe Potter resolutions, whether the OBJ
iect of the investigation is to unseat the
President or merely to investigate ana
revive an issue already settled. he
expressed surprise at the result OF the
five days contest in the House, and be-
lieved that the re-opening of the Presi-
dental question at this juncture is
fraught with danger to the whole
country, and with considerable warmth
added that the investigation "will, IN
nv Judgment, react disastrOusly upon
the Democratic party, and it will injure
especially the South, which needs peace,
and 1 should regard it as a grave mis-
take on the part of our people to take
any part in this matter"
Governor Cochran of Delaware, does
not believe that the investigation is in
tended to furnish grounds for the re-
moval of President Hayes, and thinks
it should go on.
Governor Matthews of West Virginia
Democratic) deprecates the Potter res
Olutions as tending to reopen sectional
issues. He declares that "if we are not
ready to Mexicanize ourselves, we must
uphold the Presidents title to the end
of his term.n The balance of the South
ern Governors whose opinions we've OBJ
tanned, inclined to favor the investiga-
ton but were hostile to any attempt to
impeach the title of President Hayes.
All of the Western Governors, includ-
ing the Executives of Iowa, Minnesota,
Illinois and Nebraska, denOunce the in
vestigation movement as mischievous
and revolutionary, and, if pressed, dis
astrOus to the business interests of the
country. Ex-Governor Hendricks is
represented as being emphatic in his
opposition to measures affecting the
Presidents title, as it was settled not
by the Commission of Congress but by
Congress itself.
In conclusion it may be said that Re
publican Executives cordially sustain
the action of the Republicans i'll the
House, and express the conviction that
the movement to reopen the settled
issue of the Presidency, will he fraught
with disaster to the business interests
of the country. The Democratic Gov
errors of the North fully sustain the
action of the majority of the House and
go so far as to express the opinion that
Mr.. Hayes should retire from the Pres
idency if the Florida scandals are put
into the form of testimony. The South
ern Democratic Governors, on the other
hand, deprecate any effort to disturb
the title of Mr.. Hayes, and several of
them deplore the whole movement.

One does not need to accept the
swelling campaign manifesto of the re-
publican congressional committee about
the revolutionary schemes of the dem
ocratic majority to see that there is an
element in the party which is ready to
attempt Ousting Mr.. Hayes from the
White House, and that, if the demo-
Gratis were to control both branches of
the next Congress, this element might
make serious trouble. In the light of
the past weeks record another demo-
cratic House means at least the menace
of disturbance. And the menace of
disturbance is not a good issue upon
which to ask weary public for its
votes this year.-Springtfeld Republican.

resulted in excluding some Republicans
who made no effort to force their way
through the tumultuous crowd of Dem
ocrats who thronged the ante-room and
the space about the door. The Proc
tor party respected the system adopted,
but Merrill and his friends led the way
in its violition by crowding back the
police officer at the door and entering
without tickets. No one was challeng-
ed until late in the evening, when it
became apparent that men had improp-
erly entered the hall. The Chief of Po-
lice, himself Democrat, who stood at
the door, estimates the number of Dem
ocrats who went in by the door at $50,

nent Democrats stood outside urging
their adherents to go in and vote.

A Revolutionary Movement.

After threatening for several weeks,
the Democrats have finally launched
their investigation scheme in the House
The proposition that special commit
tee of eleven be constituted to over
haul the frauds in Florida and Louisi-
ana, with especial reference to the al
legged responsibility of Minister Noyes
in the former state and Secretary Sher-
man in Louisiana, finally passed the
House, after five days battle, in which
the Republicans sought to amend the
resolution by directing an investigation
into the Oregon dispatches, the Missis-
sippi election etc. But to these amend
ments the Democrats would not listen,
being determined to investigate only
those matters out of which they could
make political capital against the Re-
pubicans.
For five days the Republicans block
ed the wheels, by leaving the House
without a quorum but finally, by the
most brazen movements and persistent
whipping-in of the party, in which even
Democrats like Stephens of Georgia and
Mills of Texas were refused hearing,
the resolution was passed. The only
Democrats not voting for it were Steph-
ems, Mills, and Morse of Massachusetts.

What Alex. II. Stephens SAYS.

Mr.. Alexander III. Stephens knows
about as well as anybody what the first
Democratic rebellion was, and he saws
that it hardly equalled in stupidity this,
the second Democratic rebellion. Of
the Potter resolution he says: "Posi-
lively it is the most uncommon piece of
political unwisdOm | can recall. 1t
does seem to me there never was such
set, except those who led us into Sc
cession. Northern papers say
we stifie investigations, afraid to face
the music of election frauds, except as
we hope to make capital for ourselves.
That's true. 1t looks exactly like that
to the country in general. If this reso-
luton passes without the Hale amend
ment. or some other equally broad, nv
prediction is that we shall have another
er bloody shirt campaign on our
hands, and | would not give a
fig for our chances to hold the next
House of Representatives. If
we or the country want any of it, we
want 1t all probe the whole fraud, or
let it alone"
