President Hayes on the Investigation.

- NEW YORK, May lS
The Times Washington special says:
A gentleman in the confidence of the
President and having perfect knowledge
of his views respecting the recent pro-
ceedings of the Democratic majority of
the House said this evening that the
President, while maintaining his natural
equanimity of temper, was not inclined
to look lightly on the situation. He did
not think it was q matter to treat with
indifference. Great events in history
had sprung from smaller beginnings.
Tracing the movement from its birth,
the President has been struck with its
rapid growth. He points to the signifi-
cant circumstance that such independ-
ent and influential men as Alex. ii.
Stephens are already pOwerless to stay
the caucus mandate.
Whatever the result of an investiga-
ton might be, whatever disclosures
might result therefrom, the President
entertained no fear that anything could
be brought home to him. IL any per-
son made any promises in his behalf,
or entered into any bargains, they did
so without his knowledge, and he hoped
their acts would be exposed.
The President regards the action of
Southern DemOcrats in supporting the
investigation scheme as ungrateful in
the highest degree. Irrespective of
other considerations, when he assumed
the Executive office, he found the South,
or at least a large portion of it, dis
tracted and torn asunder by political
strife almost bordering on revolution.
He gave the South peace, South Caro-

VERY CONCILIATORY.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 16.
Notwithstanding the secrecy observed
in regard to Count Schouvaloff's re-
ports to the Emperor, and conference
at the Foreign Office, the various points
whereby real understanding may be
obtained form the subject of discussion
in well-informed political circles.
Though in the first place the neces-
sity of securing the great object of the
neutrality-suspicious. of the Christians
insisted upon, there is on the other hand
no disposition to inscribe " A0i me td1e-
gere" on the map of New Bulgaria,
which was only set up as provisional
draft. At the same time other COM
pensations than those fixed upon in
lieu of war indemnity are not regarded
as excluded from the discussion.
While il is declared that there can
be absolutely no serious idea of the
retrocession of Kars, the same is not
true of Batoum. The advantage to
Russia of the acquisition of Batoum is
said to have its reverse side, inasmuch
as millions must be expended in the
construction of convenient lines of COM
munication and proper Notifications be-
fore the possession of the place could
be rendered of great importance.
In the peaceful current of general in
dications favorable significance is at
tached to the fact that the right of sale
in the street has been Withdrawn from
the GoloS, which had lately adopted a
warlike course, while the BourSe Ga
zette and Net0 Times which recently OBJ
served an attitude favorable to peace,
had that privilege restored to them.

AUsTRIA's ATTITUDE.

LONDON, May Is.
The statements of Auersperg and
Tisza in the Austrian Reichsrath and
Hungarian Diet, respectively, are well
received in Vienna and made very IA
vOrable impression here. 1t is believed
that they indicate beyond doubt Aus
trials intention to oppose Russia, so
that if England is compelled to go to
war she will do so under more favora-
BILE circumstances than were recently
hoped.
1t is also believed Austria's attitude
at this moment will have favorable
influence on the negotiations at st.
Petersburg. Herr Tisza in the course
of his speech said the Government had
no intention to act against but rather
in concert with Turkey in Bosnia. The
Ministers could not say in detail what
they wanted money for, but, broadly,
it was necessary to take precautions on
the northern, southern and eastern
frontiers, and to increase the number
of troops to be safe against surprise.
Part of the money has already been
used, as measures necessary to secure
the Carpathian passes are already in
hand.

lima, and especially Louisiana, were re-
stored to the rule of the native popula-
ton, and the carpet-bagger has ceased
to be an element in Southern politics.
The President of course acted from n
strict sense of public duty, and claims
no reward at the hands of the South
for doing what he was bound in con-
science to do, but he cannot avoid being
a witness TO the ingratitude evinced by
the Representatives of the South to a
man who, above all others, has had
their welfare and happiness, in COM
mon with the rest of the Union, sim
cerely at heart.
With reference TO his title the Presi-
dent conceded that it could be con-
tested, but there was only one way to
test the question, and that was by writ
of quo 3OaTrdntO, which was the only
remedy provided by law when he be-
came President. The act creating the
Electoral Commission specially declared
that nothing therein was to be construed
as impairing or affecting any right then
existing under the Constitution and
lawc's5 question by proceeding in judi
ella! courts of the United States the right
or title Ct himself and Mr.. Wheeler, if
any such right at that time existed.
The President admitted that Mr.. Til.
denis only remedy at present was by a
writ of quo UarrdntO, and such writ
was prerogative writ and not obtain
able 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 Presidency, as the office
can never be said to be in the past but
is always in the present.
As to his impeachment being ordered
by the House, the President has not the
remotest idea that such occurrence is
even among the possibilities. The Pres
ident is fully alive to the exigencies
that may arise, and will see to it that
the public peace is maintained and laws
enforced, at whatever cost. He pro-
poses to follow the policy already
marked out by his Administration, and
will take no backward step.

A Duel in the Street,

About four weeks ago Col. Smithe,
State Land Commissioner, started a
new Democratic paper here. A spirited
controversy sprang up between the new
paper and the Gazette, the old reliable
Democratic organ, which generated into
personal controversy between Col
Smithe of the Democrat and Mai. John
d. Adams, Sr., proprietor of the Ga
zette. The dispute has been going on
for week in the columns of their re-
lures. Maj. Adams averred that Smithe,
eight years ago, while foreman in the
Gazette job office, stole important man
uscripts from the office, and then ac-
cused young man in the Office of hav-
ing stolen it. This Smithe denied in a
published letter, and Adams reiterated
the charge in the Gazette. In the DEM
Ocrat Smithe replied thus:
''There is no alternative but for me
to pronounce John d. Adams liar, in
whom there is no truth; corrupter of
men; slanderer who is purse-proud
enough to suppose that his money can
shield him from the consequences of
his calumnies; a thing in human form,
in whom there are elements which,
when necessity requires, will develop
him into either petty or frst-class
thief, according to the size of the pile
in his reach"
When this appeared on the streets
last night every one said that the affair
would have to be settled according to
the code, but nothing further was done
about the matter until this mornings
Gazette appeared, which contained an
article from Adams, concluding as fol-
lows:
"Smithe purloined the document re-
ferred to, and then allowed the inno-
cent boy to be accused of the offense, and
saw him driven in disgrace from the
Gazette Office. An account of an in
famous act of which Smithe was guilty,
he seeks by vile epithets and general
denial to defend himself. After pub
fishing all the vile language he could
command, like coward that he is, he
hides himself.
Maj. Adams also said that Smithe's
conduct had been such that he could
not recognize him as a gentleman.
Smithe was on the streets as usual this
morning. AS he came down Markham
street, from the State House, at about
ten o'clock, and just as he crossed Main
street, he came face to face with Mai.
Adams. AS soon as Adams saw him
he drew his revolver, cried to the by
ISLANDERS to get out of the way, and be-
gan firing at Smithe. Almost stimuli
taneously Smithe drew his Colt and
fired. They were not more than fif-
teen feet apart. Smithe fired two shots
and Adams three, AT Slnithe's third
attempt his pistol missed fire, and he
threw it away and attempted to draw
another pistol. Adams shot struck
him in the right arm, and paralyzed it.
Smithe then began to step backward,
and another of Adams shots struck him
in the back, inflicting slight flesh
wound, and Smithe stumbled and fell.
Adams ran up to him and said "You
dog, / could kill you, but will not".
One of Smithe's shots struck Adams
hat, and tore "A portion of the rim off.
Both parties were taken away by their
frien DIS. Smithe's arm is paralyzed.-

Where the Woodbine Twineth." :"

Speaking of Jim Fisk one is reminded
of that expression so frequently used
by him, "gone where the woodbine
twineth." The origin of this was rath-
er peculiar. Fisk attended to the sail
ing of the Sound steamer every after
noon, and then made direct for his
usual haunt of splendid revelry, which
was Delmonico's, in Fifth avenue. His
best route brought him to Sixth ave-
nue., corner of Thirteenth street, where
stood building covered with greenery,
and called the Woodbine." 1t was a
popular clearinghouse, and it is said
that some of Ejsk's cronies were among
its patrons. 1t thus became common
thing for him when asked concerning
anyone to reply: "Gone where the
woodbine twineth." This year the
Woodbine yields to the inevitable law
of mutation. The house is demolished
and all its memories and associations
(to carry out the same figure) are
"gone where the woodbine twineth. "
