MCLIS is sick unto death! This is the
patheticcry OF the Opposition In it's effort to
make MCLINs fraudulent after-statement
appear to be a confession. Perhaps he is
i'll, very i'll perhaps he has suffered family
misfortune, and all that. But it is also
known that ALFRED MORTON, disap-
pointed ex-ofiice-holder, and chronic
ofiice-seeker, has had McLIN in training for
months, working upon his diseased mind
and poverty-stricken condition, with an in
sidious design to use him while he remains
in this enfeebled condition for the purposes
developed by this Florida explosion. NOR
TON Is dark-complexioned, black-eyed
cunning featured lawyer, and an adven-

THE PRESIDENTS OPPORTUNITY.

There is much speculation now as to what
vescings of the popular mind over the So
called recent Florida confessions and the
conspirings OF MONTGOMERY BLAIR and
others to rig pry by which the present
incumbent can be ousted from the Execu-
tive Mansion. The popular mind has very
little occasion to vex itself about President
HAYES tenure of office in his present posi-
tion. BLAIR may blare, and MCLIN may
confess, and the Democrats may plot and
cOnnive and invent agencies for the accom-
plishment of their bale,ul desires, but none
of these things will move the President
even to the betrayal of an emotion. He Is
cool, calm, and collected He is intrenched
in the right and in the law, and
smiles defiant smile at the shadows
of quo VarraHtO proceedings and all
such harmless inventions of Democratic
spite 10 disturb his irrefragible title to the
Presidency. The cry of fraud has been
sounded in his ears in full chorus until they
are utterly dead to its music. All modern
improvements in politics and law will ut
terly fail to reach his case. lie is President
through concatenation of circumstances
and contrivances so well adjusted and
adapted to the case that he deiies "a frown-
ling werld and smiles at satan's rage"
and reads his tito clear in that great mod
ern invention known az the Electoral Com

mission-the Arst and last of its hind
Nothing short of the hand Of Diyins Provi-
dsncs, ~ material desth, or Che sssassin's
bullet or daGgss, can disturb the tsnuss of
the Presidents present term. The hand Of
man, save through the agency of revolving
crime, is impotent to reach and disturb him.
If this turmoil continues over the Presi-
dency, there is one thing that President
HAYES might do that would make It both
interesting and lively for the multitude of
malcontents who are bounding him inces-
sanity with the cry of fraud and Fraud
ulency." We have no idea that he cares to
do it, or will make q move in that direc-
ton, for he is perfectly safe and secure with
out IL, but It would bring light to the people
and render his official position, If possible,
more strongly and firmly established in the
eyes Of all the world. In view Of all this
clamor, let him demand Of the Congress Of
the United States commission on election
frauds composed Of fair, candid, and
just men of both political parties,
clothed with full powers to compel
the attendance of witnesses, the procure
ment of documentary evidence relating to
the canvasses, and to fully investigate the
Presidential elections in 1876 In the States
Of North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, New
York, New Jersey, and Indiana, with view
to unearthing all frauds intimidatious, out
RACES, and assassinations that had affected
the results in either and all of those States.
In that way the bottom f,cts could be
reached and the just results discovered, and
then, If it should bc ascertained beyond ques-
tion that President HAYES was legally and
rightfully elected, Us he undoubtedly should
have been declared to be, by majority OF
more than thirty electoral votes, instead of
eight to seven, Mr.. HAYES would be both
President de tdcto and de jure, the cry of
fraud would be hushcd, the malcontents
would gravitate into state of quietude, and
the country would be at peace over this
vexed question. In our humble judgment,
this is President HAYES opportunity, and
it remains for him to decide whether or not
it is better for him to suffer the ills he has,
rather than seek reposs under moro favora-
BILE circumstances

ONE result Of the current Florida sensa-
ton is q revival of Democratic hatred Of
TILDEN, prompted by what the Democrats
are pleased to call his "cowardicc." SO far
as the revival of this feeling goes, it will
initiate against his desire to appear in the
role of martyr and with the martyrs
stand-for the Democratic nomination in
1880. To illustrate, we quote from the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun:
"A Confederate brigadier, member of the
House, said he did not care how much fraud
could be proved, he was in favor Of letting
HAYES alone, as he had great deal more re-
spect and admiration for a man who would
steal the Presidency than for man who was
such coward and sneak as to allow 1t to be
stolen from him"

THE story is out-originating with the
Brookly Eagle, we believe-that Mr.. TILDES
has purchased the New York World from
Colonel Tom SCorr and others. Whether
1t is true or not, it has attracted sufficient
attention to make the World an object of
unusual curiosity lately, and its course has
been closely watched. Tho Hartford

"The report that TTLDES Is now tho power
that moves the World Is made plausible by va
rious items oil circumstautial evidence. Item {:
The World no longer derides the fraud" busi-
ness, but on tho other hand mildly nurses It,
Item Governor TILDEN has identified him
self, in feeble way with anti-Tammauy pol
itics, having been chosen a ward delegate to
general committee Of the city Democracy Of
New York, an organization hostile to JOIN
KELLY. Item The World publishes an inter
view with Mr.. TILDEN to make 1t known that
he did not instigste the CoSKLISG exposure,
and also that he would not be a candidate for
Governor or United States Senator next year.
The Eagle believes that Mr.. MANTOS MARBLE,
Mr.. TILpEN's fdUs .ichdtsS Is again at tho
helm Of the World for the purpose of steering
it back to TILDENIsM, If these Comjerturcs
are well founded they show that Mr.. TILDES
