an element in Southern politics. The
President, of course, acted from q strict
sense of public duty, and claims no re-
ward at the hands of the South for doing
what he was bound in conscience TO do,
but he cannot avoid being a witness to
the ingrstitude eviuced by the Represen-
tatives of the South to the man who
above all others, has had their welfare
and happiness in common with the rest
OF the Union sincerely at heart. With
reference to his title, the President con.
ceded that it could be contested, but
there was only one way to test the ques-
tion and that was by writ OF quo t0ar-
rartO, which was the only remedy pro-
vided by law. When he became
President, the act creating the
Electoral Commission specially de-
clared that nothing therein
was to be construed as impairing or
affecting any right then existing under
the Constitution and laws TO question
by proceeding in judicial courts of the
United States the right or title of him
self and Mr.. Wheeler, if any such right
at that time existed. The President ad
mitted that Mr.. Tilden's remedy at
present WAS by writ quo tOarranto,
and such was prerogstive writ aud
obtainable as matter of right, but only
in the discretion of the court. and he
doubted whether any court would grant
it. The President also comedies
the power of Congress to
pass retroactive law to provide other
means of testing the title to the presi-
dencv, as the Office can never be said to
be in the past but always In the present.
AS to his impeachment being ordered by
the House, the President has not the re-
motest idea that such an occurrence is
ever among the possibilities. The Presi-
dent is fully alive to the exigencies that
may arise, and will see to it that the pub
lie peace is maintained and the laws en-.
forced at whatever cost. He proposes to
follow the policy already marked out by
bis administration and will take no back
ward step.
