THERE seems to be growing impression
in Washington that ex-Secretary Belknap will
escape conviction before the Senate. Not
that there is any doubt as to his guilt, but
because those Senators who believe that
Belknap's resignation before impeachment
took him out Of the jurisdiction of the Senate
will refuse to vote for his conviction on this
ground. There position seems very absurd
one, inasmuch as they have virtually assented
to the opinion of the. majority in this matter
by allowing themselves to be sworn and hear
the evidence.

that Gov. Hayes will get $4,000 majority in
Ohio. The citizens of that state know the
man and have the most implicit confidence in
his ability and fitness for the office of chief
magistrate. The Democratic mud-slingers
are coming to that conclusion. The only OBJ
jections these fellows have recently offered
against Governor Hayes are that he wears
coat of fine cloth cut in the latest style, nice.
ly fitting pantaloons and patent leather boots.
Fortunately, there are very few people in
this country who believe that a style of raj
ment in vogue century since, a shocking
hat and thick boots are essential qualifca ions
for the Presidency.

The HOUSE MAY ELECT HAYRs.--A re-
markable article in the Public this week
suggests a novel solution of the Presidential
problem. Its essential points may be put
in a few words:


Suppose the Democratic theory should
prevail, the right of either House or Senate
to reject the votes of any State be recog
nized, and the question come up on the
vote Of Oregon, South Carolina, and Florida.
Neither branch Of Congress could be expec.
ted to decide so mOmentous a question
without debating it. The Senate has no
rules limiting debate. 1t discussed the
paltry Pinchback business for over two
weeks. 1t could hardly be expected that
Republican Senators could finish all they
would want to say on so mOmsntous a
question as the Presidential succession short
of three weeks. But the Joint Convention
cannot count the votes until the l4th Of
| February. If the houses separate when
ever Il question is raised about the vote of
any State, and the two branches proceed to
debate, the Convention can do nothing but
adjourn from day to day until decision is
reached. But in less than three weeks the
| Fourth of March will have arrived when
the present House goes out of existence
The Senate, therefore, has nothing to do
but to debate the question little over two
weeks, then on the Fourth of March await
the organization of the new House ian extra
session of which President Grant will have
called before going out of office), then
throw out Oregon and allow the Democrats
to throw out the three Southern States, and
let the new House elect. In the new House
the Republicans have twenty States secure
to Tilden's bare seventeen. Hayesis elected
in twenty-four hours, and the struggle
ends.

The English peasant, when he goes to

Gen. B. i. Butler publishes card in
which he says he has seen published what
is given as an authoritative statement Of his
views upon the political situation in regard
to the Presidency, in which he is made to
say substantially that he had come to the
conclusion that all is fraud and wrong in
the election on the part Of the Republican
party and on the part of the Democratic
party, and therefore he proposes a new
election. lie says: "Of course the person

speaking of a proposed compromise of the
question between Tilden and Hayes, and

abandonment of Hayes by the Republican

was that both their claims might be sub

Gov. Hayes's sentiments toward the South
are undoubtedly fully understood by the
editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, a fact
which makes the following paragraph from
that journal of interest: at is gratifying
and not surprising to know that there are
Southern people who did not support Gov.
Hayes for the Presidency, who are looking
to him with sympathy, and with confidence
that his peaceful Inauguration would be far
better for them than the reaction, excite
ment, and confusion, the uprising of i'm
practicable but irritating and dangerous
aspirations, that would accompany Demo-
cratic administration; and Gov. Hayes
would be untrue to himself if he did not
understand the growth of this sentiment to
be a promise that he might indeed expend
his best efforts in civil policy that would
wipe out the distinction between the North
and South and we do not doubt that he
would find methods and opportunities for
the appropriate recognition of this auspi
! cious sentiment"

Mr.. Blaine has certainly earned the
reputation of being the fussy member of
the House. He is up on every occasion,
and is constantly endeavoring by some
little parliamentary trick to bring the
rules of the House to bear in favor OF his
party, or to discomfort or embarrass
members who regard as paramount the
subject of debate. Blaine has resorted
to his game SO much that the country
has become somewhat disgusted with it.
On Tuesday he tried the boys trick on
Mr.. Lamar, OF Miss. While that gentle
man was deRouncing with his character
istic force and eloquence the miserable
scheme of the Radical Judge of the Dis
trict Cor of Washington to get posses
sion of the records of the House Commit
tee in the case of Belknap, Mr.. Blaine
sprang up and exclaimed;


The House can refuse it or can send
i: there. l dare, dare, that side of the
House to refuse it" Loud applause on
the Republican side"


The speech and scene that followed
was perfectly ridiculous AMI lacked even
the dignity that should be found in an
ordinary debating club.


But it served the,good purpose to show
the whole people of the country the diff.
ference there is between not only the
two gentleman confronting each other
on the floor, but also the difference OF
the two great pArties-the one earnestly
endaaToring to search out and eradicate
crime in high places, and the other as
earnestly enieavoring 70 conceal and
cover it up.


The bast elements Of human character
and civilization were inely illustrated in
the reply Of Mr.. Lamar. and instead Of be-
ing disconnected he calmly and quietly
administered enc Of the most incisive re-
Dukes that was ever witness / in the
House, and then continued his speech to
the close, without further interruption
from fussy Mr.. Blaine, who had inter.
rupted him with remarks eighteen times,
and each time WAS answered with such
point and effect as to show that he lack.
ed tAe knowledge of the very parliamen-
tary question under debate. And the

quired Blaine to admit his error eacf
