To THE EDIroRs OF The NEWS =
Your correspondent, Mr.. Snow,
(who is now in Europe,) made, in a
letter dated April 18th, q statement
to the effect that the "distingue mil
itary Senator from Rhode Island
had been seen in q street car 'fn a
state of equivocal exhileration,
etc., and further relating a CONVEX
sation supposed to have taken place
between the Senator and the driver
of the car. We have ascertained
that the case was one of mistaken
identity, and in justice to the Sena-
tor. who is justly incensed at the
publicity given to the above state.
ment, requests that you will give
equal publicity and prominence to
the following:
In q recent letter from our Wash
ington correspondent, q paragraph
occurred rejecting upon Senator
Burnside of Rhode Island, who was
represented as having figured in 6
conversation with q car driver In
Washington, in q state of exhilera
ton. We have since ascertaine6
that this is a case of mistaken iden'
tity, and gladly retract the state
nent. Our correspondent, usually
reliable and well informed, regrets
as much as we, that q paragraph
was made public which should cas-
the least shadow upon g career that
in war as we'll as peace, has beer
marked by a degree of dignity, Jus
tice and urbanity that has acquired
for its possessor the distinguished
title of the Chesterfield of thu

time in inserting the above para

The Porter Committee.

There is q little disappointment
already over the promised results
Of the Potter investigation. The
hero OF the attempted Mexicaniza-
tion movement promised the Dem
cratic caucus which acted on his
resolutions that results would be
reached almost Immediately which
would startle the country. The de-
mAnd of Secretary Sherman and
Minister Noyes to be examined at
once, to answer the partizap charges
against them, rather dampened the
Democratic srdor to start on. The
committee finds some difficulty in
the matter of how and where to be-
gin work. Sherman's denunciation
Of their main reliance as q forgery,
proves q severer blow than the Re.
publicans at first supposed it to be,

apparent that unexpected Difficult
ties had arisen among them. Potter
having been compelled to write {
letter declaring that he did not con

~ to conform the talk in the DOM
mittee to this letter. So the Demo
Gratis describe the whole debate a
very conservative. Those who have
helped to work the investigation
through have been much disturbed
at appearances. They explain the
delay by saying that a certain pcr
ton Of their evidence is not quite
ready. Some of them are even II

the Republican press is regarded Al
. very serious obstacle to an oper
inquiry, or for that matter, to q Sc,
cret enc either. After two hours
session the committee adjourned
without having accomplished any
thing, and fixed the next meeting
for Wednesday. This is another
indication that the Democrats find
themselves entirely unprepared to
go on. The feeling among the De-
mocrAcy that the whole thing is to
fail IL increasing.

ley's was likely to be was enough to
turn the tide in Grants favor. How
much more certain then that the
conservative classes will again rally
around Grant when there is q threat
when not merely the welfare but
the peace of the country is threat
ened, and when greater disaster
than the war of the Rebellion can
only be averted by reposing popu-
lar confidence and full power in
the man who, of all other living
Americans, is best fitted to oyer
come and punish treason and reYo-
luton? 1t might be that many Re-
publicans, remembering the mis-
takes and abuses under Grants last
term, and governed byan overween-
ing respect for, the third-term tradi-
ton, would again vote against him
but for every Republican vote so
lost there would be q gain of three
or four Democratic votes, and he
would be elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Tens of thousands Of
Democrats would have no compunc-
ton in voting for him, because they
have voted for him before, and tens
of thousands more would ind an
urgent necessity in the presence Oh
threatened anarchy, who were moi
even moved by business and con.
servatiYe considerations in 1872.
To elect Grant to a third tern
would break down a national pre-
cedent that might in his case, or in
that of seme such man in the future
lead to a fourth or fifth term, OIL
even to q life tenure of the Office
But even such a prospect will bC
