There IS not a single example Of an Indian

Not 80 Clear n Case.

In the division which took place in the
House Of Representatives on June II, upon
the resolution offered by Mr.. BURcHARD
OF Illinois declaring that any attempt by
either House Of Congress to annul Mr.
HAYES title would be revolutionary the
Hon. A. :. HEWITT representative from the
Tenth District Of this city, gave his vote
against the resolution; and this honorable
fact has been repeatedly stated in our
columns.
Previous TO this division. however on
Monday, March II. in the course Of Il speech
In the House, Mr.. HEWITT wished to say
distinctly that Mr.. HAYES held his title be-
yond the reach Of any proceeding, political
or otherwise. except In his own conscience.
II there had been a wrong DONE IL had been
done not by HAYES. hut by the Electoral
Commission. Mr.. HAYES held his Office by
Ill irrefragabe and sacred title"
Afterward. when the vote came to he taken
upon Mr.. BURCHABD's resolution, Mr.. HEw-
TIT explained his reason for voting against
II, and referred to the previous speech, which
we have just quoted I'm saying" he con-
tinued THAT the title Of President HAYES
was sacred and irrd5ragable. used language
which was stronger than intended to ut
ter; but have never doubted that his title.
although the result Of frauds which, II they
could Ice exposed, would render it impossible
for an honorable man TO retain the position
l., nevertheless, unassailable by any power
known to the Constitution and laws" Thus
IL was not because he did not agree with the
main purpose Of BURCHARD's resolution that
Mr.. HEWITT voted against it, but because
the resolution averred that any attempt by
either House to annul or disregard HAYEs's
title would be revolutionary; and Mr.. HEw
TIT thought II a contradiction TO assert that
revolution is possible through the repre-
sentatlves OF the people. Yet, at the same
time, he proclaimed himself ready to vote
that 1.-The title Of the President cannot be
successfully assailed, and that Congress
cannot confer power upon any court ~ try
this title"
Such is the position Of Mr. HEWITT, and
we take care to state IL with so much pre-
piston in order that the people OF the Tenth
District may perfectly understand it, and

pounds per second. the whole power to drive
the balloon at the rate required through the air
will be 45O.OOO divided by $50. or little over
500 horse power instead OF a horse power as
