NEW YoRK. March 26.

New YORK. March %.
The Times thinks How e's speech un-
fortunate, aud calculated to do no good
to any body, though it may CIV hun
relief. 1t wss q speech OF u nIere par
tisan, not that at a leader.
The Times Washington correspond
ent thinks Howe's speech destroy ed
the New Orleans Collectorship.
The Herald thinks the speech
amounts 10 nothing.
The Tribune says the true signifi
canoe of the speech Is rot in what it
SAYS 81 much as in the fact that 1t WAS
spoken ut all. Hayes has been only n
year in office, and he has made no
great change of policy, Dur formally
broken with his parry, yet here We
have an able and distinguished Repnb
lTan leader attacking h,m TN the floor
of the Senate with ~vehemence almost
unparalleled in the domestic dis>en
sions of politics. aud the attack makes
no scandal and hardly causes surprise.
Surprise will "a if Hayes finds an
equally vigorous defender. Howe un-
fortunately says aloud only what many
of his associates are saying in private.
We see nothing to be gained by such
speeches. We are not sure tina we
understood what Howe hopes tn gain,
but his invectives will command atten-
ton ~ phenomenon of the troublous
times aud portend of a storm.

WASHINGTON, March 20.
A number of members of Congress,
friends of the President, called upon
him this morning with reference 10
the speech OF Senator Howe All ex-
pressed more feeling in the matter than
the President himself. and suggested
that the speech he answered, fearing
hat TO permit il pass in silence might
be an admission of its entire truth.
The President took a different view
