WAsHIseTos, May 25.-Alex. H. Ste
phens, who is in Baltimore, has been in
teryiewed there. He Is reported as say
Ing he feared that the reopenipg Of the
Presidential question 10 any way might
lead to the most dangerous agitation that
ever shook this country. He used very
stroug illustration in this connection. II
was not unlike, he said, the opening Of
the gates Of hell as described by Milton.
As in that case, 90 In this, II might be that
the hand that threw open the gates could
not close them As regards the con.
atitutional disposition Of the Presi.
Dental question, he held that Con.
gress had power to provide ways
and means for counting the vote
and determining the result. II 10 true,
in his opinion, that the proper way Of
performing that duty was for Congress to
count the vote and settle all disputed
questions itself; but 1t has also power for
apatriotic purpose, and to preserve the
peace and harmony Of the country, to
choose another and perfectly constitutions
al mode of deciding the question. 1tdid
SO in this case BY the creation Of the
Electoral Commission. By the Constitu-
tion an election Of President and Vice
President il expressly provided for, as
we'll as the mode and manner Of counting
the votes and proclaiming the parties
elected. II Is also expressly provided
that Congress shall have power TO pass
all necessary laws for the execution Of
its specifically delegated powers, In his
judgment, decision having been rendered
as stated, Congress can no more 20 behind
or undo that decision than could any
court in the country, even the highest set
aaide any act Of Congress upon the
ground Of fraud in the election Of those
BY whose votes measure might have
been passed. In reference 10 the danger
which Mr.. Stephens thinks an inyestiga-
ton may at this time involve the country,
be said that soft insinuations to the effect
that the displacement Of President Hayes
would create no more disturbance than
the removal OF q constable or q Laliff,
were as guileful as those that were whis.
pered into the ears Of Eve BY the great
arch6end from which sprang all our

that great throng Of tramps, estimated
at fifty or more in number, this morning
besieged a freight train on the Chicago
