THE WRONG MAN KICKED.

The Administration at Washington
has been so meek, so mild, and SO for
bearing towards every conciliated
Democrat who felt desire to kick or
cuff it, that Secretary Sherman's letter
to the Potter Investigating Committee
is the most refreshing thing of the sea
son. 1t is really blessing to know
that there is at least one man in Mr..
Hayes cabinet who will not stand still
while Democratic boot wages war in
his rear Evidently the Democrats
have reckoned without their host in at
lacking Secretary Sherman The "Tri-
bune aptly illustrates their surprise
at his courageous attitude by the fol-
lowing story:
Some years ago, as Mississippi river
steamboat came up to river landing,
a tall, ungainly, gawkish looking fellow,
leaning against a wood pile, attracted
the attention of the passengers, one OF
whom, talkative and conspicuous per-
son, said to his friends, I" am going to
have some fun out Of that fellow" SO
he jumped ashore when the boat landed,
and with great show of tierceness APP
preached the fellow. Drawing savage
looking bowie knife, he said: 80, old
fellow, I've found you at last You're
the man that stole dog of mine, and
I've sworn to get square with you. I've
been looking for you for IA year" The
gawky lazily opened his eyes in Won
dering amazement at first, as though he
didn't understand it. Then catching
sight of the laughing passengers look
ing on from the deck, he took in the
situation. By the time Smarty" had
finished telling him how long he had
been looking for him, he had taken out
of his pocket fist like sledge ham
mer on the end of the arm of wind
mill. He swung it once and knocked
the man who had been looking for him
plump into the river. Then resuming
his place against the wood pile, he
raised his eyes to the deck, and with a
verv lazy drawl inquired, Is there any
body else on this boat looking for me p
1t seems quite in order now to in
quire if any other Democrats are look
ing for Secretary Sherman.

voters to whom he is indebted for the
honor of his office. Has he been mis-
understood by the Democracy? Has
he not rather misunderstood them, since
they, Notwithstanding the consideration
shown them, have at last BETRAYED
their purpose to dishonor him, by max
ing the title of his Presidency odious
and by-word of political reproach-
and all for Mr. Tilden's benefit? Evil
IDENTIFY somebody has been seriously
misunderstood Some one has been
betrayed. WHO'S it Has Mr.. HAYES
been deceived by the Democracy, or the
Republicans by Mr.. Hayes ? Possibly
both 1t is time then that all misun-
derstandings should cease. The con-
Citation policy of the President has
certainly been on trial long enough to
satisfy its most sanguine advocates.
And with what result? After doing
more to solidify Democracy as an organi-
cation than Mr. Tilden possibly could
have done, had he been President, with
an ingratitude unjustifiabe but not I'M
expected, it now turns upon the hand
that fed and warmed it into national
life. 1t is the oft-repeated story of the
farmer and the viper, which wounded
the bosom that had nursed it. Mr..
Hayes has betrayed touching soIici-
tude for the Democracy since his inau-
guration How have they returned the
compliment? They have repaid him
with the basest treachery; while to-day
the only barrier interposed between him
and the Infatuated conspirators, who
would drag him down from his high
place, is the solid phalanx Of Republi-
cans, whose opinions he has despised,
and whose counsels he has treated with
Indifference. They have presented a solid
front of defense for Hayes and his title,
let us see whether he needs party "
at his back

WHO HAS BEEN DECEIVED!

1t is painful thing to be misunder-
stood, particularly when ones patriot
ism is mistaken for weakness and heroic
unsefishness is exaggerated into per-
sonal vice. This is Mr.. Montgomery
Blair's unenviable position, since the
passage of the Potter resolution in Con
gress, and to a certain extent also that
of Mr.. Hayes. A few days ago, no
man was more reviled than Mr.. Blair.
He was despised and spit upon by the
press generally as weak old man,
whose apparently purposeess resolu-
ton before the Maryland Legislature
was the evidence of disordered intel
lect. He was laughed at generally as
mailman, and contemptuously derided
for his folly. There seems now, how
ever, to have been some method in his
madness. Evidently he was misrepre-
sented, since subsequent events have
fully demonstrated that he was acting
upon the advice and at the suggestion
of Mr. Tilden and his friends in inaugur-
ating revolutionary political scheme
When the Blair resolution was passed
at Annapolis, everybody laughed The
laugh now is rather on the other side,
with the promise of a somewhat seri-
Gus piece Of business on hand, for be it
we'll understood that this whole investi-
cation conspiracy is not bantling OF
Mr. Blair's paternity, He was pain
fully misrepresented as its originator.
1t is the work of another and ADLER
demagogue 1t is Samuel's own 1t
bears the marks of HIS handiwork. 1t
is scheme to crafty the cunning malice
of disappointed old politician, whose
name is the synonym Of chicanery and
trickery, and whose professional and
political life is one long chapter of sharp
and selfish practices, and of which his
successful evasion of the payment OF
his income tax is conspicuous instance.
1t is evidently the purpose of Mr. Til
den and his adherents to rule his party
or to ruin the country. To crafty the
longings of his camp followers for the
flesh pots of Office, as the reward of
their partisan work is the real purpose
of this investigation. But why may
not our selfcomplacent and confiding
President, Mr. Hayes, draw some use
full lesson from the evident purpose of
this resolution? Like Mr.. Blair, HE
too has been painfully misunderstood
He was supposed to haye been Re
publican, and to have been elected as
such. He has heaped honors upon his
political opponents, and has reaped
harvest of distrust in the ranks of the

INVESTIGATION MEANS REVOLUTION.

The timely address of the Republi-
can Committee, published in another
column, shows clearly and forcibly the
real designs of the Democratic conspira-
tors at Washington. If they do not
intend to attack the Presidents title
for the purpose of unseating him, why
not say so? This they again refused
to do on Wednesday, when Mr.. Harri-
son threw bombshell into their camp
in the shape of resolution, declaring
specifically that ait is not now in the
power Of Congress, nor is it the pur-
pose of this House." to unseat Mr.
Hayes. If Mr.. Potter and his col
leagues MEAN what they say, why did
they not repeat their pledge in this
resolution But one fair inference can
be drawn from their actions, they in
tend to overturn the decision of the
Electoral Commission, if possible, at
all hazards.

A RETORT COURTEOUS.

j. Guest King, hired apostle of the
new gospel Of Hayes, according to St
John (Thomas), and who feeds daily
out of little Custom House flesh pot
at Annapolis, has, of late, been doing
some gratuitous advertising for THE
CECIL WING and its editor. King is a
unique specimen of the Thomas ToADY-
treacberous, truculent and tricky. He
has recently quit drinking cheap whisky,
and between his newly-born zeal in the
temperance cause and his devotion to
his political master he promises to make
q great ass of himself We have no
special objection at being the subject of
his weekly (weakly) twaddle, for, like
himself it is harmless, although tiresome.
We do object, however, to the hypocrisy
of his whine about editorial decencv
and courtesy, in view of the fact that
in his issue of the 9th of April he
FILcHED bodily from the columns of

ONE of our exchanges pertinently
remarks, that the most singing insult

that he has common cause with the

4 Chalk Sermon.
[ From the New York Sun. |

The modern fashion of the preacher
taking singer with him into the pulpit,
as L helper, has been made familiar through
the examples OF Moody and Saukey, Whip
pie and Bliss, Hammond and Bentley,
Graves and Hillman, and other famous
evangelists, working in couples, one preach
ing and the other singing. But another sort
OF helper IS now III demand. On Sunday
the Rev. Mr.. Ferris, OF Brooklyn, delivered
- a chalk sermon, in which, as the notice
ran, he was " assisted by Frank Beard
Esq, artist" We have all heard about
the minister OF art - ana the missionary
service it ought to fulfill; here we have them
Not long ago a sermon in New York on
Hell was windy illustrated by i painting
done IN OIL. If the Methodist preacher
relnforces lis sermon with chalk sketches,
and the PIeSby terian or Lutheran with oil
paintings surely the Baptist may invoke
the aid of water colors. Thus the draugLts-
man and painter may rival the singer and
preacher III the Sunday services Of the
future.

which he paraded, without credit, at
the head of his columns If this man
knows anything, he ought to be aware
of another fact, that Mr.. Hayes has no
following either in Maryland or in any
other State, outside of Office holding
Republicans, of which he (King) is SO
insignificant a specimen, and to whom
common decency should suggest the pro-
priety of gnawing his bone in silence.

The Vermont Republican State On

The Vermont Republican State Con-
vention met at Burlington, on Thursday,
and nominated Col. Proctor for Gov
ernor. Ex-Gov. John Gregory Smith
was selected temporary chairman, and
in referring to the Presidents Southern
Policy said, What are the results of
the experiment? The Republican
party, born of necessity, has been
shattered and riven, and yet can any
cone say that its mission is ended ? * x
| believe the Administration has lived
to see the failure of its policy, and is
"now prepared to take different stand,
land come to the side of the only party
that can bring peace and safety to the
country" The convention then agreed
to disagree tremendously ont he ques-
ton of endorsing the Administration.

ALL examples of Democratic incon-
sistency seem feeble in comparison with
that which was completed by the pas
sage of the Potter resolution. The
party which accepted the Electoral
Commission, pronounced its decision
final, and now proposes to review and
overturn that decision; which declared,
through the mouths of some of its most
conspicuous members, that President
Hayes title was sacred and irrefraga-
ble," and now calls it fraudulent and
proposes to break it-this party could
not create any surprise by any con-
tradiction in its opinions or want of
faith in its acts.

There was young statesman named Potter,
Who said, Let US now make it hotter
For President Hayes, and endeavor to raise
From the White House that impudent
squatter."
So he went and consulted with Randall,
Who said, "That's not easy to handle,
For fear we'll be building house for
Sam Tilden,
And that game is not worth the candle.''
But, says Potter, "Ths sessions most over,
And we've all been so damaged by Glover,
That the only thing left is to charge Hayes
with theft,
Or bring suit in an action of trover.
Then they got all their workers aud takers
Assembled together in caucus,
And gave the Fraud yell, and said " Well
raiSe-well
Anything-so they shan't baulk u.s."
Then the caucus rose up and applauded
The vote that had just been recorded,
Till some one said, "Hark, comes from
Gramercy Park
A voice, saying, Pm the Defrauded.'"

Although the Potter investigation is
an attack upon the peace and prosperity
of the country, yet SO far as its effects
are felt politically, it will rally Repub-
licans in closer party bonds, and bring
back to it many who have become es-

the result of the weakness of the Ad-
ministration and Hayes violation of its
principles and traditions. If they do
