ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS, with q
patriotism and good sense rarely
found in the ranks of the Democrat
ic party, deprecates the action of tho
Tilden leaders in thrusting upon the
House the Potter resolution. With
others on that side he threatens an
open bolt and said the movement is
ill-advised, foolish aud revoluti onary.
The entire movement is gotten up to
make campaign capital for Mr..
Tilden and the party, aud there are
Democrats like Mr.. Stephens who
are honest enough to keep aloft
from such piece of trickery. The
claim of Potter & Co., that it is to
preserve the national honor,is one of
ieeblest prrtenses ever advanced.
The people are heartily sick of pc,
litical excitement and partizan in
trisue, and want to drop the entire
subject and give their attention to
legitimate business. The "truth of
history" will not DO enlarged nor
made more truthful by the partisan
attempts of Tilden's workers, but
rather some pages added which
should bring the strings of remose
to those who are responsible for this
new interruption to the endeavors
of the people of this country to at
teud to the bushes of earning liv-
Ing in = legitimate way. .ss.a'r

The bartender has been arrested,
tried, convicted, and fined $50 and

Nsw YoRK, April 2S.-Reports have been

had determined to bring suit against Tilton

had consented to bring suit at once. Mr..
Beecher says it IS nonsense. ''There may bo
