The proposition that a man may be made
President of the United States 10y fraud
after he has been defeated at the polls, while
the man who was really chosen In that cleo
ton may. through the same fraud be kept
permanently out OF the Office; and that
against such an imposturc and usurpation
there is no legal and peaceful remedy for
the people Of the country. is the most mon
strous proposition ever conceived in con-
ncction with the Constitution and the citi-
zens of this republic
II this proposition had been laid before the
public at any former period in our history,
il would have been universally secuted as
false and impossible and even insane
Nothing now saves it from this fate but the
circumstance that many influential public
men and various representatives of the
Republican party are inspired by that deep
personal interest which guilt always feels
in escaping detection and punishment 50
that they insist upon this monstrous idea
with desperate fcrvOr.
But let no honest American be anxious
about the result. There is a lawful, peace
full, and sure remedy for the crime and the
shame from which the country is suffering.
The Constitution can be indicated and the
right II self-govcrnment restored without
any disturbance of the peace, or any de
rangomcnt II business. Public opinion and
the operation of long recognized laws and
usagcs will do the work cncctually. Mr..
HAYES will leave the White House and
the u-urpcd functions Of the Presidential
Office, and lIr. TILDEN will commence tho
great duty of reform to which hc was as
signed by the Isopic In 1870. 1t will bee done
10y simply giving effect TO the Constitution
and the legislation Of the country UNI
changed and unabridged. The proposition
that there IL no remedy for u. that there is
nothing the people can do about it, is AS
grouudlo7, in fact q it il monstrous in
sense and morals.

The Army Bill Condemned.

The best criticism that can be made on the
Army Appropriation bill, for which Mr..
HEWITT stands sponsor in the House, is to
Toe found in his own words. explaining why
the BANyING Till was not accepted In its en-
tirety. The latter project, though defective
as to a radical reduction Of the rank and file
of the army was in every respect better and
moro efficient In necessary reforms than
that which il now under consideration. 1t
proposed retrcnchmcnt Of six millions of
dollars. and cut of many Of the most cx-
travagant and offensive excresccnces that
will be continued If the present bill should

In his carefully prepared speech Mr.
HEWITT used these words

find Mr.. GLADSTONE attacking an article in
their chief review as dsloyal to the Crown

out though, that the writer docs not dis

critic, and attributes too much power to the

natural; but did it justify the suggestion
