WE" THE PEOPLE.

When the ToOley street tailors, in Lon
don, resolved in the name of "we," the
people, they performed n legitimate duty so
far as they were concerned. When any
ardent admirer of General GRANT now pre-
sents his name rs candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1850, or the New York Graphic and
Cincinnati Commercial join hands in advo-
eating President HAYES for reelection, they
assert the right of freedom of speech and
the freedom of the press in a free country in
so doing. All this is perfectly proper and
legitimate, and to question such procedure
is TO interfere with the inalienable right of
an American citizen, and to disregard the
highest prerogative as established in the
Declaration of American Independence.
Among many of our people it is regarded
as matter of great moment to their future
that they shall be counted as the early
birds who catch the worms, and hence
occasionally, great haste is manifested as
measure of precaution against being left or
forgotten when the day comes for making
up the jewels of an administration. They
seem to forget the old adage that sometimes
" the more haste the less speed and that o
dish may be turned over by an effort to
move it too abruptly. We regard the ad-
vocacy or presentation of any name at this
period in connection with the Presidency in
1SS0, two years hence, as ill-advised and in
a measure unfortunate for the name so pre-
sented. We do not think that General
GRANT has q sincere friend who iavors the
use of his name prominently now as a pos
sible candidate. Neither do We apprehend
that genuine friendship for President HAYES
will drag him into the arena as a candidate
thus early under any pretext or contingency
in the face of his positive declaration that
he will not accept a second term-one term
being all sufficient to fill the measure of his
ambition.
1t is now contended by the New York
Graphic and the Cincinnati Commercial that
the POTTER revolutionary assault upon the
title of President HAYES adds importance
to his position, and makes it almost neces-
sary that he should have denomination n
partially rs vindcation, and especially in
view of the fact that the POTTER conspiracy
is intended to vitalize and galvanize TILDEN
into the candidacy in lSs0. There may be
point and force in this, but its precipitancy
is very liable to commit it to the same fate
that has attended PoTTER's conspirlcy-an
early collapse by the falling out Of its bot
tom. If this early injection of Mr.. HAYES
into the canvass Of lSSO il as make weight
against the premature use Of the name OF
! General GRANT in that connection, it is fair
game with GRANTS enemies, and no one
has right to complain Of it rs a measure
! of fHc0t, but the whole question is begged
out of season, and no real friend of either
/ the President or cX-Prcsidcnt can approve
of this attempt to iorestal the sentiment
and action of the people on this important
question. At the proper time, ami in the
usual way the Republican party will select
its candidate for lSsO, and it alone has the
authority to place before the country a
name as the Republican standard-bearcr for
! the ne xt Presidential campaign.

HON. SOLOMON BUSDy.


Among the few new members Of the
Forty-fifth Congress that have earned an
enviable reputation during the present ses-
sion Is the Hon. SOLOMON BUSDY, of the
Twenty-first District of New York. Unfor-
tunately, coming from district composed
of three counties that by agreement are sue
cessively represented in Congress, thereby
precluding probability of his return or
primary appointment upon any important
committee, he has, by faithful attention to
duties, courteous manners, and signal ability,
commanded the respect and confidence Of
his fellow-members.
Mr.. BUNDY has made but few speeches
during the session, but his able effort on
the silver bill' attracted much attention
and favorable comment from his colleagues
and the appreciation of his more intelligent
constituents. While his vote and speech were
at first criticised-perhaps because he and
x-Lieutenant-tiovern PATTERSON were
the only Representatives from New York
that did not follow the then popular New
York clamor against the bill-he has since
had the satisfaction of seeing the predic-
tions of his speech verified, the greenback
very nearly approach the value of gold coin,
and the honor and credit of the Government
maintained.
When the Committee on Expenditures in
the State Department was increased he had
become better known, and was accorded q
prominent position on it, and by his fellow
Republicans entrusted with the investiga-
tion Of the Shanghai Consulate wherein was
involved the fair name and family reputa-
tion Of one Of New York's honored states
men. His skill and judgment as a lawyer
were vigorously tested in that investigation,
where the two Democrats on the sub-com-
mittee with him, and able lawyers employed
against the party accused, endcavored to Sc
cure n one-sided and partisan report for po-
litical purposes, but signally failed. 1t is
to be regretted that when the services of
such men as Mr.. BUNDY are secured that
they are not retained, for his usefulness to
his constituents and party increases with
each successive reelection.

REpuBLIcAS BATrLE-GRouND.

The New York ErpresS has very kindly
volunteered to stake out the ground which
the Republican party shall occupy in its
future contests, in order to enable the Dem
ocrats to win victory. This is all very
well in theory, but it has not been the
habit Of the Republicans to take counsel
from the enemy. The Democratic party
had so long abused the confidence of the
country and had become the author of so
much wrong that called for remedy, that
the Republican party came into existence
as public necessity, and to save the ma
ton from impending ruin. The Democrats
have been manufacturing issues relating to
the public welfare for more than twenty
years, and the Republicans have selected
their battlefield, accepted these issues as
presented, and have rendered victorious bat
tie for eighteen out Of the twenty-five years
that have transpired since the Republican
party came into existence. The Democrats
are still operating their machine for the
manufacture of issues, and the Republicans
are as ready now to accept these issues and
contest them at the balOt-bOx as in 1886.
They are not fighting dead issues, for there
is no need Of that so long as their opponents

the facts show that other parishes which in
1874 gave Republican maiorities were re-
turned for TILDEN in 1875 by the instru-
mentality of bull-dozing. In short, the nine
parishes in the State which it is charged by
the Republicans were bull-dozed, gave in
1874 Republican majority of $40. Two
years later the same parishes gave TILpEN
a majority over HAYES of 5,577. It would
he well to bear these figures in mind as the
POTTER investigation advances.

Mr.. VI. W. BARG's services as agent
the southern branch OF the New York As
snciutcd Press, which have made his name
familiar Us household word the length
and breadth of the Southern States, are
about to he brought to close. In l-50
the press Of the South became dissatisfied
with the telegraphic dispatches sent to it
by GEORGE W. TYLER, esq, because of
their political EiaS, and Mr.. BARR was Sc
Iectcd to succeed TYLER. The faithful
discharge Of his duty of providing the
southern press with its demand for pccu-
liar news in those trOublOus times landed
MI BARR into Forts Laiayettec and War
rcn, and eNrntuatel in his surrender ut
Greensboro. The war having ended BARR
came to Washington, and since then has
been recognized Us careful CON
scryatOr Of the demands of his
journalistic cheney, as it were. But
like poor TYLER, who is now dead and
gone TO his reward, BARR has been guilty
OF pregnating his dispatches with the flavor
of his own personality. Politically, it is
true, there has been 10 fault to find with
his daily and nightly budget of news; but
he Is accused, and We think he is guilty Of
the accusation, Of being unable to exclude
flashes Of mcrrment thereirOm. For ex-
ample, he has tried to make the market re-
ports cheerful and has developed humor in
the stock-lists. His last and fatal m,lor-
tune in this regard was II broad snccr at
the healthiulness OF patent flour. So BARR
voluntarily walks the plank, an idea th,t
suggests or begcts another one viz; Why
shouldn't BARR walk the PLATFORM BY
all means, BARR HE thee to the lecture

THE almost unanimous opinion of the
press of the country regarding the POTTER
investigation is that it should be abandoned
A few Democratic newspapers insist that il
should 90 on; but, in view of the afiirma-
tive of the inviolabilty Of President HAYES
title, it is agreed that the labor and ex-
pense of the inquiry is unwarnnted. The
Syracuse Standard expresses this opinion, as
follows:
If the President cannot be ousted and TIL
DEN seated in the chair, what is the use Of
spending any more of that barrel Of money Ia
feeling counsel aud paying witnesses for perjur.
ing themselves, unless 1t be for the purpose of
showing that TILDEN is a political martyr
and that he is entitled TO the Democratic
nomination in 1sS0. We shall not find fault
with Mr.. TILDES for his individual efforts in
that direction, but We insist that he ought to
pay the entire expense of the investigation,
and not take the peoples money to advance
one mans personal political interests.

THE scenes of confusion and wild dis
order in the House that are Of constant oc-
curence in these closing hours of the session
are Enthusiastically Democratic With
bombastic prctensions of intent and ability
to reform everything reformable and rcju-
venate the languishing industries of the
country, the House began eight months ago
TO betray the imbecile selfshness and dema-
gogism of the majority. That eight months
have been wasted, simply wasted, and the
country is worse of to-day than before the
called session began. The few measures Of
importance that have been passed into laws,
aside from the appropriation bills, owe
their origin to the Republican Senate,
while those bills have been amended and
materially rcmodeled by that body. 1t is,
therefore, natural, that in the chagrin and
disappointment Of the closing hours OF their
disgrace, the majority in the House should
resort TO bOisterOus efforts to do something
to retrieve themselves; but the difficulty is,
the greater the effort in that direction the
greater the failure. Special measures, lobby
schemes, and despicable personally interests
continue to absorb their attention and na-
tiOnal affairs are ignored. Verify the coun-
try will breathe irecr when this mob of So
called Lawmakers is disbanded.
