A CONFESSION OF MOTIVES

The adoption by the house OF repre-.
sentatives of the resolution confirming
the presidents title, or rather in mega
ton Of the presumption Of assault upon
it by the pending investigation, sug-
gests two note worthy features: LIST,
that the only opposition came from
northern democrats, and "a, that since
no practical result is aimed at, the only
possible object Of the inquisition is to
make political capital. The country is
to be taxed to defray expenses that
will reach into hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars, for WHAT To determine
whether the president ought to be re.
moved or not No. To ascertain
whether or not there was a fair election
in all the disputed states No. To
learn whether, If there was any corrupt
practice, democrats as we'll as republi.
cans we're guilty F? No. To see if the
business depression Of the country is
not due to political disturbances No.
What theni Only this and nothing
more to coniine the inquiry TO the &C.
ton Of republicans, in only the dis
puted states which were counted for
the republican candidates, and TO make
political capital against the republican
party for use in future campaignsl Now
il this is the proper business Of those
whom we elect TO make laws, then
there is radical defect in our constr
tuition. II il is fair for majority party
which may chance to be in control Of

CLAuKxoN n. POTTER

mot more ridiculous was the per.
Torrance Of Fitzhugh. who as the dem
ocrstic doorkeeper declared himself a
bigger man than General Grant, or An.
derson. the great Louisiana witness,
who confesses himself perjurer, than
the part which has just been enacted by
their chosen leader from the Empire
State, Clarkson n. Potter. About the
Goth Of May, be introduced bis resolu-
ton for an investigation of the Presi.
dents title, and Immediately thereafter
published a letter explaining it. In
that letter be distinctly loreshadowed
and substantially declared the purpose
TO remove President Hayes through the
action of Congress, and declared that
such action would not be revolutionary
and should be peaceably acquiesced in
by the administration. That there shall
be no mistake in regard to this we make
the following extract from bis letter:
II now it should appear that there
was fraud which palpably affected the
electoral vote, and which the Com
mission did not notice, aud, if legal
remedy exists for correcting the error,
you cannot believe that such proceed
ing under, the law could lead TO distur-
bance. II there be no such legal rem
edy existing, and Congress should here.
after by the approval Of the President
or by two-thirds of both houses with.
out that approval, provide one, why
should the legal determination there.
after had produce any more distur-
bance than the decision of the Electoral
Commission did =
1t will be seen that in the above, Pot
ter even goes so far as TO advocate the
removal of the President by special
act OF Congress, and we do not know
of northern democratic journal that
censured or criticised bis position.
Row let US compare the above with the
resolution of Congress last Friday for
which Mr.. Potter voted, and we shall
see how completely he has been forced
to abandon his original position:
Resolved, That the two Houses of the
XLIYth Congress. having counted the
votes cast for President aud Vice.Presi-
dent of the United States, and having
declared Rutherford b. Hayes aud
William A. Wheeler to be duly elected
President and Vice-President, there is
no power in any subsequent Congress
to reverse that declaration, nor can any
such power be exercised by the courts
Of the United States, or any other tr.
bunal that Congress can create under
the Constitution.

Rubber Paint.
TO THE PEOPLE OF MANCHEs.

TO THE PEOPLE OF MANCHES,
TER AND ADJOINING TOWNS.
AS the season is arriving when many
Of you are thinking of Identifying and
improving your houses and out build
iugs by treating them to coat of paint
we ask you to consider the qualities Of
the rubber paint for the following reas-
sons: Its ingredients are Linseed Oil,
Best English Lead and French Zinc,
with the addition of two pounds Of
rubber gum, cut with chemical to each
gallon. The particular points claimed
are that while many Of the chemical
paints that are sold have no oil or lead
in them, but are simply chemical pre-
paration, this differs and the superior
points may be summed up as follows:
1t is the most economical paint costing
one-quarter to one-third less than any
other while one third more may be &C
complished with given quantity It's
durability surpasses that Of any other
paint for the reason that on whatever
weather or condition OF climate used
il is not affected while it's great body OF
oil, lead and zinc with the addition OF
the rubber makes a body remarkably
strong and at the same time 80 adhesive
and elastic that it will not crack and
peel off 1t retains color and beauti-
ful gloss better than any other kind OF
paint One gallon will cover twenty
five square yards, two coats and will
make better finish than three coats OF
ordinary paint 1t has been used in
Manchester and Dorset for the last four
years and has given the best Of salts
faction. The rubber paint is prepared
in pure white, made from bleached oil
especially for inside work, which makes
it very white. For a floor paint ii has
no equal. 1t is prepared in different
colors and put up in |. and IA gallon
cans ready for use. The price has been
reduced To two dollars per gallon.
which makes it by far the cheapest
paint known. For circulars and i2ior-

Another, and terrible chapter was
added Wednesday morning to the story
Of the failure Of the Washington county
National bank, by the suicide Of
Edwin Andrews, late cashier Of the in
stilutiou. Ever since the bank was
closed, Mr.. Andrews gave evidence OF
the most morbid reGorse and shame.
SO severely did the catastrophe, and
bis connection with its cause, prey
upon his mind, that it became evident
to all that bis reason was shaken, and
fears were entertained that he
would not loug survive the mortiiica-
ton aud misfortune, especially as his
head was bowed under the weight Of
seventy years of service. 1t was alec
feared that he contemplated self-de.
struction, but be assured those who
spoke to him about it that although the
matter had presented itself to his mind
several times, there was no danger,
as he had overcome the temptation.
The general opinion is that Andrews
did not use the fluids of the bank him
self His fatal mistake was in allowing
certain influential parties, men who had
placed him in the position which he oc-
cupied to become indebted TO the bank
more than they had ability TO pay. In
order to keep them going further loans
had become necessary aud this state Of
things continued for years until the
transactions could be no longer con-
cealed.
