The president expressed the belief that
good Providence was leading US to peace
and order until the baneful effort of caucus
government, which coerces the timid and
often the good, has caused fear of con-
flct. The direct agents which brought
about the rebellion were the spirits of
light compared with the fomenters of the
present discord. The attempt gives him,
he says. no more personal alarm than any
other citizen, but Mr.. Key did not exag
gerate the case when he said a bloody
conflict might be impending if the schemes
were carried out. | swore to preserve
the constitution and will deliver the exec

only power that | will recognize, is the
lawful one of impeachment. They can

the senate, there is no other way in which
L WILL recognize any attempt of congress
to remove me, but do not believe the
United States senate has fallen to that
point where high classed democrats, like
Bayard, Thurman. Gordon and Hill. will
agree to make the senate a vehicle for
carrying out a revolutionary edict of a
party caucus, by conviction on impeach-

The president complimented Wade

had kept their whole obligation to the
whites and blacks, to the state and the
union. and he said the course of Alexander

The president has nominated Geo. b.

The reported iu,erviewwith the presi

the Potter investigating committee is PRO
nounced at the executive mansion to be
predicated on a slight foundation, ii it has
any basis at all. 1t Is said that the presi-
dent was SO continuously occupied with
the ceremonies and services
connected with his visit that
there was no time for interviews, and besides
language is attributed to him which he
could not have uttered under any circumstau
ces especially as he now, as during the cleo
torial count in Florida and Louisiana takes
no part in the question, being content tc
leave the investigation where 1t is now
lodged, and to await the result without
Interference on his part in anyway what
ever. 1t ia also said at the executive
mansion that Post Master General Keys
