What the Southern Papers Say.

1t is quite evident that the South
ern papers take no stock in Mr..
Montgomery Blair's expectation Of
unseating Hayes rs the outcome Of
the investigation. The Baltimore
SIN remarks that his opinion "seems
not to be entertained by any promi-
nent democrat of either house" The
Baltimore Gazette tells Mr.. Blair that
the adverse report ofthc House Judi
ciary Committee on the Maryland
Memorial and the Kimmel bill was
the proper thing for that committee
to do. The Richmond DiSqatch pro-
ceeds at some length to show, first
that it is not the wish Of the demo
Gratis to assail Mr.. Hayes title and
second, that there is no method by
which it could be done if they were
so disposed. In the first place, it
says, there is no law under which
any proceedings can be begun in amy
court to test the tide of Mr.. Hayes to
the Presidential Office. In order to
the establishment of such Il law,
either Mr.. Hayes must sign bill to
provide a method for testing the
title to his own office, or else the
democrats must get two thirds
majority in both houses Of Congress,
and pass such bill over the veto. 1t
is not possible for the democrats to
secure such majority before the eX-
piration of Mr.. Hayes's term. The
term of the members of Congress to
be elected next fall will expire on the
same day that Mr.. Hayes's term will
end. And the democrats, 50 far are
they from entertaining any hope
that they will have a tWo-thirds ma.
.jority in the next House Of Repre-
sentatiVes, have not made up their
minds that they can elect Il majority
Of its members. Indeed, it is by no
means certain that the republicans
will not be stronger than the demo-
Gratis in the next House. The pres sent
House Of Representatives has not the
time, fit were inclined, to impeach
Mr.. Hayes. But, says that paper,
'even if we concede that the House
could possibly be guilty of an act of
such stupid f)lly as the impeachment
of Mr.. Hayes would be, the Senate
would dismiss the articles of i'm
parchment in short order. Nothing
less than a two-thirdS vote in the
Senate can remove Mr.. Hayes from
otiice.D

A HORRIBLE CALAMITY.

LONDON, June An awful coll.
liery explosion occurred this morn

men in the pit at the time is various

of them have been brought up badly.
injured. The larger portion are be-
lieVed to be killed, but it is impossi-
bic to explore the mine in conse-
quence of the tire-damp.
n later despatch says the explosion
in the coal pit at Haydock to-day
shook the earth for mil IS around.
The first explorer descended the
shaft five minutes after the explosion
and Others followed. Ten men were
rescued alive and were sent to the
surface, when enc died almost imme-
diateiy and the others suffered much
from after damp. Eight other men
are alive and have taken refuge in Il
working Of the mine. Two hundred
and thirty-tWo men are dead. The
explorers state that they found bod

masses and some of them blown to

An Interview with Mrs. jerks.

A dispatch to the New York Her
dtd from New Orleans, June 4 says
Mrs. jerks, the party who is said III
have letter written by SecretaI
Sherman, resides IN Rukerville,
some ten miles above the city. She
is woman QF thirty yearsof aye
and rather pleasing in appearing
She is appafeaE very Intelligent,
and has a f1ll naWledg6 III affairs
in Felieiana parish in the last cleo
ton. Upon being interviewed upon
the subject Of the Sherman letter,
after CONSULTATION with her husband.
she said Il must decline to state
anything whatever. 1 have received
subpoena to appear before the com
mitsse of Investigation II. Washing
ton, and | could not make any state
ment under these circumstances to
any one else. l will say this: Sec
rotary Sherman never wrote me anv
letter whatever" In the course Of
the conversation she stated, and her
mother and husband joined in, that
Anderson was unworthy Of belief;
that he had talked too much, and
made too many different statements,
first to one thing and then another.
They said he was an inspector in the
Custom House at the time he was
supervisor and drawing pay there at
the same time. From their knoWl-
edge FeIiciana was rightfully for
Hayes; the Democrats bull-dozed
terribly and none Of them were cleo
ted. They further said no one had
ever made a statement against the
Democrats in that parish and lived
afterWard, and instanced the cases
of Weber and Senator John Gair.
She hardly knew when she should
leave for Washington, but it was
there she had been summoned to tcS-
tify and not here, so she would go
shortly. She utterly declined saying
anything Of Secretary Sherman, and
said that all the statements hereto
/ fore published relatiye to herself
came from the imagination Of news
paper correspondents.

After some delay and no little trouble
Harris was brought back to this place
