The way in which the Florida confessions
have been received by the Republican organs,
and by many in the party who are not politi-
| clans, affords humiliating illustration OF
the blindness and perversity of partisaDrv
The cri me confessed by McLin and his accom-
plces Is one OF no ordinary magnitude. 1t is,
In fact, the greatest political crime known in
The history of this country, % crime SO holm
Gus in itself and SO far reaching in it's effects
that there is no greater Of It's kind These
confessions, such MS they are, must be the
basis OF investigation, and those who stand
In the way OF Investigation will be crushed to
powder.

Indemnity for the past and security in the
future demand that Hayes should be visite,,
with the heaviest Judgment Of tho American
people. He should be made warning to all
future conspiratOrs against the life and in
tegrity OF the nation. He should be driven
from office, dsgraced and dshonored. as the
first American "President" who, to advance
his own selfish interests, cpnsorted with con
vlcts and rewarded criminals Congress may
halt and hesitate, but witt, the food of light
that is bursting on the crime exposing it's
hidden details in all their enorrnity- they

There Is 9 commotion upon the. surface Of
politics lust now 1t was just ripple few
weeks since, when Mr., Blair proposed his
resolutions in the Maryland LegfsIature. and
even when they had been introduced into
Congress the wave they awoke was scarcely
noticeable. But the wind has begun to blow
with bolder gusts, and the waves are already
running high. The white caps will be seen
presently, and the rash pilot that has pushed
Tar out to sea In his leaky craft may be glad
enough, with his unhappy crew, to reach
some obscure port where the storm will cease
70 howl and the waves shall cease to frighten
he Florida exposures grow greater and more
startling day by day Other affidavits add
TO the infalny Of the tales told by Dennis and
McLin. And now we are assured there is
danger OF the monstrous Louisiana business
belng exposed to the gaze OF the public 1t is
bound TO come out-all of it sooner or later.
No matter how flercely the Radical ring lead
ers may rage, no matter how Sherman he OF
the Pinkston propriety- may howl the whole
OF the Florida crime and the Louisiana bust
ness is going to be exposed. These latter
. confessions Isl seem to involve Mr.. Hayes him
sell, was It an idle prophecy of Mr.. Conkllng
when he declared that this Louisiana bust,
ness would yet sink Mr., Hayes and his ad-
l,I, into the depths OF inramy2
The excitement and interest increase hour
by hour, and those who q week ago laughed
ut Montgomery Blair and hissed at Gonk |
ling's bold insnuations, now hold their breath
to see where this increasing commotion will
end. |
The lawful means says the New York Sun,
of getting rid Of this branded and criminal
ofticeholder are ample Moreover, it is peace
Ful. 1t will not be resisted Let the truth be
established by solemn investigation by
Congress-, so that the whole people will be-
;one unanimous In their opinion respecting
5he, facts, and then Mr. Hayes will fold his
tent, like the Arabs, and silently steal away
rom the seats OF power, while the man whom
he people elected will be installed in the
place which Is rightfuIly his
