BUTLEK'S LAST BRICK,
DID HAYES GET HIS SEAT BY FRAUD

WASHINGTON, d. c., January
7.-Representative Springer init
mates that there has been plan
agreed upon to investigate the title
of Hayes to the presidency. The
outline of it is as follows: Gen.
Ben Butler, co operating with other
republicans of the House, will entro-
duce resolution to investigate,
basing the demand on the cry Of
fraud raised by the democracy. He
will say that "we now come forward
and ask you to join with us in an
inquiry. If we find the facts bear
out the charges you have always
made we will co operate in SECURING
Tilden the seat; but if not, you
must forever stop this talk Of fraud" I"
Approached in this way, the demo.
cracy will be relieved Of whatever
disturbance might follow a reopen
ing Of this question, and yet can
Sc cure the fullest examination of the
electoral fraud. During the re-
cess, as evidenced by the open anita
gonism of Chandler, Butler and
Blaine, this matter has been matur-
ing. Banks is in favor of the plain;
so is Hale, Conger, Frye and num-
erous others. The vote on the New
York appointments indicates that
there will be little or no trouble in
securing the co operation of the SEN
ate. Butler, in case the resolution
passed, would by courtesy be made
chairman of the committee, and one
of the principal witnesses will be
Chandler, who has just been distri-
buting around the country pam
phlet on the "unholy" alliance of the
President with the Democratic party
and the negotiations in the Louisi-
ana case. 1t cannot be predicted
what this talk will amount to. Some
democrats now here deride the whole
thing, and want to let the dispute
settle for three years.

A SNIPE A MiNUTE.-The New
Orleans Plcayunc prints the follow
ing :"The grertast shooting exploit
ever performed in this country was
recently achieved by a gentleman
long a resident of this State, and
the owner of some of the largest
plantations, sugar and cotton. For
years past the exploits of this gentle
man have been regarded with the
highest admiration and wonder in all
sporting circles. Leasing out his
splendid sugar estates on the Teche,
lie has reserved the privilege of oc-
cupying shooting-box, which he
calls his 'snipery, where he spends
erery year month or so, to enjoy
n Bthout disturbance his favorite
amusement of shooting this fine and
agile bird, which abounds on his
own and the adjoining plantation.
The results of his sport and skill in
past years have been frequently re-
ferred to as wonderful. To bag
300 snipe-on the wing, of course-a
day has deem a common achieve
ment-common for him, but never
accomplished by any other sportsman.
In his last enterprise, however, he
surpassed his previous exploits by
devoting, six successive DAYS to t his
sport. The result was a bag of /,
960 snipe Allowing six hours per
day to the hunt, this would give a
snipe minute, which is about equal
to the hog-killing operations of the
great slaughterhouses of Chicago.
Besides the pleasure and pride of
such an achievement, the robust ap-
perance of the gentleman by whom it
was performed, when we met him
yesterday on our streets, attests the
happyseffects upon his physical con-
dition Of the exercise and excite
ment of bis Nimorodian enterprise.
He will return to his enjoyment Of
the luxuries and pleasures of his
family residence at Biaritz, France,
with a keen and invigorated relish
and capacity of enjoyment"

for it. Insdiously, step by step, the
physical power of the Government was
impaired. The navy and the army were
both objects of constant assault. Loyal

iers, with wars ever in prospect with
the Mexicans and the Indians, and the
frontier populations crying out for pro-
lection, deaf ear is turned to all these
facts, and the army is reduced to a
skeleton. Gallant officers perish in un-
equal encounters, and niggardly pen
sion is refused to their widows and or
phans. Let us see to it that the les
sons Of the predatory history of the Re
bellion are not forgotten. We appeal
to every man who is a friend of his

against the destructive policy of the
Democratic party; against its indiscrim-

IF you want to see a Democrat
squirm and take to his heels nova
days, Just ask him about that inves-
tigation in Dodge County which
resulted in exposing a $4,000 de-
falcation by the Democratic county
treasurer. AS rule, the only idea
that Democrats have of an investi-
cation is that it must catch a Re
publican, but now that one of their
own number has been nabbed in
the act of stealing a cool $4,000,
they detest the very word and wish
that it had never been invented.
They don't even relish the work
of the Potter committee in congress

Backing Down.

The Democrats in Congress have
commenced 'shedging" on the in
vestigating business, as it does not
pan out according to their eXpecta-
tons. After having voted down a
resolution declaring that it was not
their purpose to attack the Presi-
dents title to his office, they are
now very anxious to have it appear
that they never had any intention
of that kind. To that end, Proctor
Knott, chairman of the House Ju-
dietary Committee has prepared a
report, which will soon be present
ed to the House, (which takes ground
against the powers of Congress to
institute any measures by which
judicial proceedings can be begun
or facilitated looking to the trial of
the title of the President of the
United States. The report urges
that Congress, being an independ-
ent and coordinate branch of the
Government can only act in the
sphere prescribed for it by the con-
stitution, and that any attempt to
unsettle the title of any other branch
of the Government alike co-ordi-
nate and equal, except by impeach'
ment, would be in derogation and
in violation of that instrument

tees response to Montgomery Blair'>

The House Of Representatives,
last week had under consideration
the General Deficiency bill, asking
for $4,5oo,ooo to make up the
shortage in the appropriate ons of
the previous Congress under a dem
agogical pretense of ssreform" by
the Democrats. Representative
Foster, of Ohio, showed that the
pretended reduction of $30,ooo,ooo
of the last congress was in fact only
Slo,ooo,ooo, and when the defcien-
cies are passed, it will be reduced
to S12,ooo,ooo. Congress might
learn something from the Demo
cratic Board Of Street Commission
ers in Watertown. That distin-
pushed body of financiers Ihas new
er found any difficulty in covering
deficiencies which occurred in run
ing city affairs; or rather it does
not permit want of money to stop
the machinery of government. If
a particular fund is short, the money
in another fund is used to supply it,
and when finally every every fund
is exhausted and there is not a dol
lar in the treasury, everything is
done on credit. To be sure it is
against the law, and the Board
could be enjoined against such prac-
tees, but that makes no difference,
SO long as it is Democratic, and all
is done for the glory and good Of
the Democratic party.

Hon. l.. B. CaSWeli.

A correspondent of the Madison
Journal, writing from Washington,
makes the following compliment
tary and we'll deserved illusions to
Hon. L. B. Caswell, the popular
representative in Congress from
this district:
The quiet and manly course of Repre-
sentative Caswell has gained him many
warm friends during this session. His
long and successful business career has
given him great advantages in all ques-
tons relating to finance. So far, his
views have all been timely and practical
He was an early advocate of the meas
ure to reissue the greerbacks which
were paid into the Treasury to redeem
the bonds held for security Of the issue of
Ma tional Banks Without waiting for
compulsory legislation, Secretary Sher-
man has adopted that plan, and already
commenced carrying it out.
There has been some talk about Mr..
CaswelPs action in favor of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. In this case he has had
the courage of bis convictions. He be-
lieves it would be for the present advan-
tage of the whole country to have this
Southern route completed, and the great
grazing plains of Texas and the mines os
Arizona opened to the people of America.
Again, while he cannot but see that it is
fashionable politics in the North to bow
profoundly whenever the cry of mo
subsidy!'' is raised, he argues with force
that we are making no gift of either
money or land, but only granting a loan
on good security, and that it ill-becomes
the people ofwestern States, like Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, that
have been the recipients of enormous
grants and subsidies in one form and an
other, now that there is no longer need
to give to them, to be taken with such a
spasm of economy when their pockets
are not to be directly the gamer. His
course on this question has been honest
and courageous-two traits that Western
people like and will not overlook

WEDNESDAY, JUNE, IL, 1878,

The Senate has voted down the
proposition which passed the House
to reduce the army to 10000 men.
It is strongly suspected that the
Democrats do not so much want to
get rid Of the army as to change it.
They want places for eN-rebel Off
GERS. If they could disband the
army and then reorganize it to their
liking we should hear no more
about reducing it. -.

If Mr.. Hayes shall be proven to have
been criminally connected with the al
legged fraudulent count, then he should be
impeached, and not alone impeached, but
convicted and promptly removed from
office, and special act should be passed
BY Congress banishing him beyond the
boundaries of the United States during
his natural life, and after he shall have
died his body be refused burial in this
land of constitutional government.-Dem
ocrdt
Now, if that kind of talk does not
firmly establish the editor of the
Democrat in Tilden's affections, and
secure a favorable endorsement on
his application for the postoffice,
we are very much mistaken. At
least such undoubtedly would have
been the effect if the editor had not
in the same article from which the
above was clipped, given Tilden
dig under the fifthrib in the follow
ing:
A man who could stoop so low as to
commune with beings offering to fraudu-
lently procure the electoral votes of any
state, is unfit to be the chief magistrate
Of even the so-called French Republic.
Now, such an allusion as this to
Tilden's ten thousand dollar offer
for an electoral vote in Oregon, or
the effort made byTilden's friends to
purchase for 100000 the vote of a
Louisiana elector, is not pleasing to
Tilden and will destroy every hope
ofsuccess that the editor may have
entertained after penning the para
graph first quoted. After such an
lll-advised, untimely and inconsid-
crate attack on Tilden, even though
made only be implication, the editor
need expect no favors from the
hero of Gramercy Park. His goose
is cooked. He can never write P.
M. after his namewith Tilden's con-
sent.
