While we don't regard the chan
ces ~ Imminent that Mr.. Hayes
will be turned out of the White
House, such an event is by no
means impossible. With one MEM
her Of the Louisiana Returning
Beard already employed at hard
labor In the penitentiary, and with
Wells and the others on the way to
keep him company, damning de-
velopments are liable to be reported
- any moment. Finding that the
President IL powerless to protect
him, Wells may find his tongue.
Facts may at any time come out
that would compel the American
OpnGress, In very self-respect, to
take Actlon on the greatest politi-
cal crime, unaccompanled by vio-
lsnce, which was ever perpetrated
under the form of Constitutional
government.
Who would have predicted, one
short year ago, that the very men
who made Hayes President would,
after Z few months, hate him with
IN i6is6sity compared with which
their antagonism to Tilden is a
colorless and dead feeling? Yet
that is precisely the way the case
stands to-day. Such men as
Chandler and Cameron can hardly
contain their tempers when Hayes's
name is mentioned. Senator
Conkling, In pitched battle, has
brought q Republican Senate to
Join him In a terrible rebuke to
theP President elected by themselves.
Old Ben Butler and old Ben Wade
both express the most unmeasured
contempt for Hayes, while Cham
berlain, Kellogg, Packard, and the
lnng line OF Radical Republicans
who sympathize with them,
have declared war to the knife,
and the knife to the hilt,
against the fraudulent President.
It now appears quito probable that
VIM. Pitt Kellogg, the fraudulent
United States Senator from Louis
lana, will be in the field with his
little revelations. The following
Washington dispatch from the spe-
cial correspondent Of the New York
Sun indicates that q new cause for
anxiety exists for Hayes. Con-
slant dropping will wear a stone, it
Is said, and we suspect that the
pleasure Hayes anticipated from
his unjustly acquired Office is
turned to gall by that drift of pub
lie opinion which ceaselessly
busies itself In discussing the infa-
nous means by which he became
President. The correspondent
writes:
The $4,000 which VIM. Pitt KEEL
logg is being pressed to pay to the
Union National Bank of Chicago
was part of the money paid and
agreed to be paid by the visiting
statesmen to secure the counting of
the electoral votes of Louisiana for
Hayes. 1t had to be raised quickly.
They did not dare to telegraph for
it, and they could not draw for it
through New Orleans bank. The
emergency was pressing one, and
the mails were too slow. 1t was
the eleventh hour. The Returning
Board, after rejecting every poll in
various parishes, against which
any evidence could be trumped up,
after throwing out all the parishes
which could with any colorado
pretext be claimed to be bull-dozed,
found that there were three Hayes
electors who lacked between seven
and nine hundred votes of having
q majority over their Democratic
competitors. Something had to be
done Immediately. One member
of the Returning Board refused to
go any further in this dangerous
business unless more money was
forthcoming. He demanded cash
down as an earnest of the future.
In this dilemma the visiting states
men went to Kellogg and said they
must have 500, 600 forthwith. He
protested that he hadn't that much
money. They said he must raise
1t, and they would see that he was
REIN bursed. He borrowed the
amount from the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, and the baking
member of the Returning Board
was paid $4,000. Then the count
ing out and counting in went on
until the job was done. John
Sherman and his fellow-conspira-
tors knew that the money came
from the Collector Of Internal Rev.
enue, and that it was the money of
the United States. They knew it
WAS used to bride member Of the
Returning Board. The money was
not repaid to the Collector of In
tsrnal Revenue until nearly eight
months afterward. He could not
settle his accounts without it, and
demanded it from Kellogg. John
Sherman had not kept his pledge
that 1t should be reimbursed to
Kellogg. 1t was his intention to
squeeze it out of Kellogg, who
wanted his seat in the Senate and
could not afford to let the truth be
known, because it would certainly
destroy his chance of getting into
the Senate. Accordingly, Kellogg
had to borrow $4,000 Of the Union
National Bank Of Chicago, and G.
b, Farwell became his surety,
Kellogg got his seat in the Senate,
but he does not think 1t is fair that
$50, 600 of his $50, 900 salary for six
m al ha ~.
