The Presidents Title.

What commentary upon the states
manship Of this country is the report Of
the Judiciary Committee of the House of
Representatives on the Kimmell bill, with
reference to the Presidents title, that the
Presidency having once been adjudged to
Mr.. Hayes, there is no constitutional au-
thority to disturb him in his office. Let
it be assumed that this is sound constitu-
tional doctrine, how does the matter of the
Presidency stand, in view Of the facts
which have been developed? No one, Of
any party, with common sense and COM
mon honesty, now believes that Mr. Hayes
was elected. No one doubts that Louisiana
and Florida were counted for Hayes through
fraud; and yet, Hayes having obtained the
Office by fraudulent means, is secure in
his place, because there is no lawful or
constitutional remedy to put him out, and
to install in the Office the man whom the
people elected. Here is a most extraordi-
nary defect in our constitution and laws.
An omission, hiatus, that may some day
prove fatal to the peace and order of the
country and the stability of the Govern
ment. The country is now filed with
popular discomfort at the existing condi-
tion of things The Democratic party
feel and know that they have been-cheat-
ed out Of the Presidency. That this feel
ing has not eliminated in violence and
commotion, is due to its conservatism and
forbcarancc under the severest and most
trying provocation that any party was ever
called on to endure. 1t is to be hoped that
the country will never again pass through
another such an ordeal. And yet, no leg
islation TO prevent it has been enacted.
Time is passing, 1880 approaches, when
another Presidential election will occur;
and it is clearly within the bounds of pro-
liability to say, that fraud, having once
been successful, there win be equal temp
tation FOR the same class of men to attempt
it again. And, should it be attempted, it
is hardly probable that the country could
pass through another such trial without
open rupture. 1t is the plain duty of
Congress, therefore, to devise such legisla-
tons as will put it out of the power of such
seoundrels as the Florida and Louisiana
Returning Boards, although they may be
melted and encouraged thereto by such
men as John Sherman and Stanley Mat
thews and other visiting statesmen, ever
again to set the country by the ears over
the Presidency.

Senator WHITE Bulogizinr Grant.

The Baltimore Gazette takes Senator
VIM. Pinkney Whyte, of this State. to
task for TIE following fulsome Aattery of
Gen. Grant, uttered few days since in
the Senate in a speech against the River
and Harbor Bill:
~ admire Ulysses S. Grant. There was a
heap of Roman in that man which inspired
the admiration of every American. He was
great on the battlefield he was great in the
White House, and that character which liken-
ed him to Andrew jackson won upon the
hearts ofthe American people, and he never
did drawer act than when, in the summer of
1876, he took his sword and stuck it into the
River and Harbor Bill, aud told his officer up
there at the War Department, "Thus far shalt
thou go in the expenditure of public mon ey
and no farther"
The Gazette says eve have rarely
heard from a democratic leader sentiments
more undemocratic than this" Apart
from the fact that Senator Whyte's fat
terry of Grant is as false as it is fulsome,
it is altogether unimportant that one d.
lapidated politician should eulogize anoth-
er The Gazette attaches altogether too
much importance to this blarney of the
Senator by calling it "a send-off for
Grant"
