No new or startling revelations have been
made since last week before the Potter In
ycstigating Committee. Many minor points
in the great conspiracy have come to light,
however, but these appear to be natural
accompaniment of Louisiana politics and lit
tie notice is taken of them. The inveslga-
ton will be continued. President HAYES
breathes more freely, since Congress has de-
clarcd his title inviolable.

Gen. Benjamin +. Butler, as n member Of
the Judiciary Committee of the House, on
Tuesday submitted his reasons for dissenting
from the report of the majority in regard to
the inviolabilty Of the Presidents title He
argues strongly that the President is not above
the law, and that if he usurCs possession of
the property of another he may lie sued in
the courts. Mr.. Butler says:
"Thc President entered upon his office with
the express notice that his tenure was Ques-
tionable in character, of doubtiul validity, not
made absolute by the inlerpositon otihc extra
constitutional commission, but TO be examined
and adjudicated upon by the courts How sit
possible to overlook or misunderstood such n
state of facts by which it appears that subjec.
ton to future trial by the courts is tie eX-
press and explicit condition of conceding the
Inauguration of President Hayes"
In support of his argument that the Supreme
Court has jurisdiction in certain cases ut the
relation of any citizen contestng the title of
any office holder in the District of Columbia,
lie adds:
Il have heard it stated as an objection
against the exercise of the power-and there
exist peaceably TO settle n cOntroVcrtcd cleo
ton of President through the medium of the
courts-that such proceeding would be re-
evolutionary and DISCRIMINATION of the
governmeIt-whateve that may be. Let us
state the question and see what is and what
is not revolutionary. 1t is claimed by ma
iority of the committee that if by force or
fraud, by forgery and perjury, by corruption
and bribery man may buy or defraud a
Congress into counting forged electoral certi-
ticates of fraudulent votes and be allowed to
usurp thereby the office of President of the
United States, there is then no remedy against
his exercise of the high duties of that office
and welding all its great power for foul
years within the power of our constitution.
81 will not admit that our fathers have made
any such constitution or frame of government
for the welfare the people. lcannot admit
that there is no remedy for so great wrong
known to q republican form of government
guarded by constitutional checks and balances
and legal and judicial remedies. If SO, ther
our republican form of government is fail
ure, and will go out in night and darkness, tC
the extinction of popular rights, and be sue
ceeded by government in which the army
shall put up at auction for the highest bidde!
the right to exercise supreme executive pow
er, as was done in the Roman empire. Then
indeed is no remedy lett us but revolution
instead of the peaceable one through the &C
ton of the judicial courts acting under the
constitution in legitimate manner, to which
all from the highest to the lowest always have
bowed and always will bow, and to the DEGREES
of which all will quietly submit"

The Presidents Policy Assaulted.

BURLINGTON, VI, May %. The
Republican State Convention met
here at O'Clock this morning. EX-
Gov. John Cir, CORY Smith was an
nOunctd as temporary chairman. On
taking the chair, Gov. Smith referred
to Presidents southern policy.
and said /; What are the results of
the experiment The republican
party, born of necessity, has been
shattered and riven, and yet can any
one say that its mission is ended Z?
Has it performed its work and should
it be suspended? let the record of
the present Congress give answer. Is
there no need of the republican party?
Does equality exist in the lately re-
bellious states? Meyer since prior to
the war has the spirit of rebellion
been so violent, so rampant as to-
day. What means the reduction of
the army-reducing appropriations.
Can you recall a similar legislation.
Go back to Inc days Immediately
proceeding the rebellion, when the
loyal north was crippled that the
rebel louth might be all powerful.
The present is but a repetition of that
legislation. Never since then has the
government so much needed the sup
port of loyal people. In that alone
lies the safety Of the republic. With
out that, triumph Of treason is sure.
l am no alarmist. | believe while
the policy of generous treatment was
honestly undertaken it will be so
abandoned. l believe the admins
tration has lived to see the failure of
its policy, and is now prepared to
take a different stand and come to
the side of the only party that can
bring peace and safety to the country.

For many years past there has been

at the present time. Lumber and
other material can be had at moder-
ate prices, and contractors are able to

would have done for q long time, and
further than you may make it go for

EDITOR :--During my
absence from home | noticed an art
icle in the Herdld maligning the
writer Of the article that appeared in
your paper regarding the Bridge at
Bloomington.
Let me assure you and the public
that lying innuendoes or the personal
luminosity of Mr.. w. d. Burton has
had no effect on me whatever. The
bridge was pronounced a bOtch by
parties who claimed to know some
thing regarding it, and publicity
was given to it through the columns
OF your paper.
The County Commissioners exam
ined it and the same paper that con-
tains Mr.. Burton's scurrilous article
has the report of the Commissioners,
viz: BOARD met and made report
in regard to Bloomington bridge, to
the effect that when Mr.. Burton
made certain changes or additions
thereto it would be taken off his
hands"
This is my vindication in the mat
ter, and | shall always claim to eX
ercise my right as IA tax payer to
discuss the erection of any public
work, his opinion to the contrary
Notwithstanding. If more of this
unsolicited interference was given
by tax payers to the erection of our
public works, there would probably
be less Of it given to botchers.
