having taken the oath OF Office long since,
can then send in his message 10 Congress
and we will recognize him as the Presi-
dent, by acting on his message, and con-
frming all the nominations he may make,
and refusing to pay attention to any thing
Hayes may send in. Don't you see how
easy It will work."
G,But, General, what will Mr.. Hayes
be doing all this ime?"
"Oh as soon as we pass the resolution
recognizing Mr.. Tilden as President Mr..
Hayes will step down and out"
"But suppose ho refuses to step down
and ouiH'
"Then we'll make him."
Just here, the General was called away,
and my interview was brought 10 a sud.
den stop. But l had CLEANED enough to
convince me that the present move meant
more than It showed on It's face. In plain
words, it means that the Democrats in.
tend to get possession Of the Presidency
by fair means or foul. They intend Mr..
Tilden to take possession OF the White
House, peaceably II they can; but forci.
bly,, II they cannot get 1t otherwise. 1t
remains now TO be seen whether the Am
erican people will again submit to have
the peace and prosperity Of the country
disturbed to crafty the grasping ambi-
ton Of a scheming politician. have
too much confidence in the patriotism Of
the country at large to believe that their
dark, deep laid schemes will be brought
to a successful issue. Strange that 1t is
80, and yet 'tis true, that the main hope
Of the Republic in defeating these perfd-
ious schemes rests with the Confederate
members. The Northern Democratic
members, as a rule, are stark ,starin' mad
on the subject, and are rampant for any
thing and everything, that will produce
a revolution in matters, and give them
and their friends the o%fices; On the other
hand, sprinkled here and there amongst
the Southern Confederate members, you
will find members who recognize the
fact that under the administration Of
President Hayes, the South has become
peaceful and prosperous, and that any at
tempt 10 disturb the President in his seat
would result in q renewal Of the old
scenes Of riot and bloodshed; hence they
are opposed TO any opening up Of the
matter, and some OF them say, openly,
they will resist every such attempt TO the
bitter end. It Is TO be hoped that the
good, sober, patriotic sense Of the people
will be brought into play this Fall, and
that men will besent 10 the next Congress,
who will devote their time to developing
the resources OF the country, and passing
measures for the relief Of the distressed
and suffering millions, instead Of using
the money OF the people to secure their
denominations, and pander to the pre-
JUDGES and ambitions Of the paltry few,
who seem 10 imagine thatthe fate Of this
whole country depends upon their being
placed in permanent positions.
The names Of thesSpecid Committee
raised under the Florida resolution were
a~nnnouced on yesterday and consist Of
Messrs. Potter, (chairman.) McMahon, OF
Ohio, Morrison, Of Illinois, Hunton, Of
Virginia, Stenger, Of Pennsylvania, Cobb,
Of Indiana, and Blackburn, Of Kentucy,
Democrats. Butler, OF Massachusetts,
Cox, o. Ohio, Reed, Of Maine, and Hiscock,
Of New York,-Republicans. Eleven In
all. The Committee has had no session
yet owing to the absence Of the Chairman,
Mr.. Potter, who has gone to New York,
to receive futher and more definite
instructions from Dir. Tilden, as to the
manner in which the investigation shall
be conducted. Agood many think there
is as much ability among the four Re.
publicans on the Committee, as possessed
by the seven Democrats. Others think
that the Republicans have not had 4 fair
show on the Committee. and that some
such representative men, as Garfield,
Hale, or Conger, should have been ap.
pointed. However it has come 10 be a
general remark here that a Republican
minority is more than a match for a
Democratic majority at all times and
under all circumstances and unless Gen.
Butler goes back on his party in the
matter, the Democrats will have all they
can do, il they are not over matched.
The Congressional Committee Of both
parties have organized and are going act.
lively TO work, and the country will soon
be flooded with the speeches Of the Hon.
Mr.. Squeedunk, and the Hon. Senator
DilWorthy, on the state Of the Nation.
