Dear Mr.. Argus:

OF her who had lent her noble genius
to this most excellent enterprise.
When ssg that she IS a young lady
just about emerging fro% her teers,
you will scarcely expect me TO I'D
that she possesses every attraction
oil mind and body: that in her
character she is pure, aud in her
movements graceful. While this is
abund 4ntIy true, yet from the part
she will take IN the preparation of
these papers you will need no other
evidence Of her qualities than such
as may be seen rom TIE reflection OIL
her pure and elevated mind upon
these papers. Ordinarily | am not

say whether that proiusIon o. flowers

whether Rhe may not have taken
them from her last Summer hat.
Consequently, | am not such com
panion az the average member Of
fashionable society is fond OF enter

But the lady OF whom | am writing,
especially, allows me TO SIT with her
sometimes for an hour together AMI
aud wall talk with me with so much
wisdom about the prevailing folies
that she, more than any other per.
son, caused me to resort to these
papers. she was speaking to me

on the subject of the testimony taken.
He considered the case against Hayes suffi-
ciently established already. Why" said ne,
take the Wormley conference alone; the
committee has the case conclusively estab-
1ished that there was such a conference, that
Il resulted in o bargain, an understanding
call Ii what they choose-Which ended in the
inauguration OF Hayes.
sit has been proven that certain Southern
Democrats agreed to break down the filibus-
tering movement and thus open the way for
q peaceful Inauguration. on condition that
certain concessions We're made to Louisiana
and South Carolina. This part of the bargain
was assented to by Hayes friends and he
subsequently ratified it.
SIT has been further proven that on the very
day that Hayes was inaugurated, and but On
hour or two before that ceremony, Gen. Glib
son, Mr. Levy and others waited on him and
wanted to know II he intended to abide by the
agreement; he assured them that he did, and
that he would very soon provide q way to
carry 1t out The McVeagh commission was
preferred as the way, and thus the Packard
government was overthrown Mr. Hayes

That one act alone before the committee con-
cludes there will be others to add to it, is
sufficient to demand the impeachment OF
Hayes, and the House will no doubt present
articles against him.
''But he will be tried by a Republican
Senate p
t'He may not be- After the fourth of next
March the Senate will be Democratic, but
even the present Senate, with its Republican
majority, could not avoid q verdict OF guilt.

"But the same corruption which seated
Hayes, also seated Wheeler, and he could not
hold tue place"
'Next TO Vice President the President of
the Senate Is highest officer, and after the
fourth OF next March that place will be filled

acts established against the administration

proven that we expected, and there is great

KEARNEY AND BUTLER.

AeRFna Y Nafche0-
NEW YORK Aug. 3.-The Herald San Fran
cisco special says:
hg Major Cen Buffers card, in which he de-
nies the story about his meeting, Dennis Kear-
ney, having been telegraphed here, gives
mortal offense to the labor reform leaders of
this city. Kearney's lieutenants are in high
dudgeon about 1t, and assert with empha sis
that Butler Is an inflated politician, utterly
ignorant of the spirit of the workngmen' s
movement.
Kearney's secondhand man says that no
relation whatever exists between Butler and
Kearney. The latter Is the leader of men
whom Butler can follow II he sees fit, but the
Worktngmen's s movement ignores politicians
and chooses its leaders from It's own members.
This means that the workingmen here are
watching kearney, and they mean to see to it
that he makes no, entangllng alliances with
Butler or any other man. The "sand lot
orators are expected to dpclam at great
length about the situation in their open air
gatherings here on Sunday, and some very
strong expressions Of sentiments are looked
for on that occasion.
