not. If the country is dragged
over i'll that tremendous and des!
perate plunge it will decend into
tho abyss of Mexican anarchy. A
precedent will have been set which,
will emboldcn every defeated and
discontented candidate to reassert
his title ut any time within the four

gone against him, and we shall be
launched upon long experiment. Of
Mexican anarchy and irremediable
civil confusion.


The Country Will Condemn It.


Springfield Republican, Ind.


The Country will condemn the
partlsanship which has initiated this
investigation, and suspect. the
movement Of meaning mischief.
There are undoubtedly Democrats
III the House who are ready for all
most any measure to get Hayes out
Of the White House. It has NOT
supposed that they were many OF
influential, but tho course of events
during the past week must ineyitas.
bly, arouse fear that q considerable
por ton of the party are willing to
precipitate fresh contest over the
Presldenc y upon weary country.
OF course the coutry will not allow
any movement for disturbing Mr..
Hayes tenure of the White House
to make any real progress. The
public won't swallow the campaign
manifesto Of the Republican Con.
gressional Committee in q single
gulp, but it will keep close eye on
events at Washington. And if the
leaders of the Democracy should be
mad enough to seriously propose
rehearsal of the electoral
settlement they will got response
from tho country within % hours
that will make them take the back
track without any unnecessary delay.


Palpably Revolutionary.


Ne,o York. Tribune, Rep.


What, then, is the movement ac-
tually attempted ? It is not only
unfair, cowardly and fraudulent in
method, but it is palpably revolu!
tionary in purpose. The Republi-
,ecAns had abundant right to oppose II
on either ground or onboth grounds:
They were right in demanding an
amendment making the investigation
broad, fair and impartial, if there
was any investigation. But they
were also right in resisting my and
every inquiry which is designed to
disturb or is based upon the pre-
sumption that this Congress hos any
constitutional power to disturb the
title of a President duly inaugurat-
ed. The Democratic resolution is
not only indecent and knavish it
is an attempt to get up another re-.
bellion against lawful authority. In
cithor aspect it could bo resisted as
a matter Of right; in the latter it
was duty to resist it,


Tilden Throwing Away Money.


Ne,o Yor'; Times. Rep


And if MIR. Tilden would but for
O. day study the papers of his own
party, especially the papers pub.
lished in the South, he would
probably come to the conclusion
that he is throwing away his money
i'll tho attempt to manufacture
Democratic sentiment in his own be-
half. The Republican aversion to
Mr.. Hayes has it's counterpart in the
Democratic dislike of Mr.. ,Tilden,
whose unconcealed desire to estab.
lish his claim to q reorganization
does not increase his popularity
with the rank and file Of his party
or his influence over it's. leaders.
Another circumstance that will by
and by ennbarrass the investigators
and frustrate tho revolutionary part
of their programme is the gradual
awakening Of the business 'commu-
nifty to the reality of the peril with
which it is threatened. The mo-
mont the contest assumes the form
of an attempt to reopen the Presi-
dental question, and to plunge the
country into anarchy, public feeling
will manifest itself in way not
pleasant to the knaves who now
shout "fraud." j.
