The rumors which have been sent
abroad over the country alleging that GER
tain republican Senators are moving or
will move for an investigation of the title
OF President Hayes to bis office, or have
any Interest in any movement for that pur-
pose. are all probably without the least
basis of truth 10 rest upon. The repub-
leans who have doubts about the legality
OF the title of President Hayes. or of The
justice OF the decision of the elector TIL
bunal, are, SO far as we have any personal
knowledge or the means Of ascertaiuing
public opinion upon the subject, absolute
ly without existence. The confirmed Cd
inion among republicans is not only that
President Hayes title is good, but that the
bulldozers cheated him out OF the electoral
votes OF several States which in equity be-
longed to him, and would have declared
for him had fair elections been held
The following resolution adopted at the
last Republican State Convention held in
~naiuc h hhruot Iast, WIN tntitt unanlmI-
ty, expressed then and expresses now the
sentiment OF the party in this State.
The States Of South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana were fairly ard legally carried by the
fepublicsns at the November election Of 1876 for
the State and National tickets, and the undouhfed
right OF President Hayes and Vice President
Wheeler to the electoral votes of those States was
affirmed by the highest and most impartial tribu-
nal that could be organized under the authority of
the National Goyernment--a tribunal to which
the democrats in both branches of Congress, gave
their deliberate assent For the democratic marty
now to raise the cry Of fraud is both unmauly and
dishonest--and If persisted ~ must be accepted :.
an indication that that party 10 its mad desire for
power is willing 10 incur all the hazards Of anarchy
and revolution"
We have no doubt that the sentiment
among republicans in other States agrees
fully with the above resolve, and that all
reports of republican senator's and repre-
sentatives being engaged in attempts to
impeach the Presidents title are utterly
false and sent abroad by enemies of the
republican party for mischevous purposes
But the appearance of Montgomery
Blair's memorial in the Maryland House
Of Delegates. impeaching the title Of the
President and demanding an investigation
