There are evidently some " wise men of Gotham" still left. .5 Mr. Stephens has replied in a two column letter to 'Mr. Clarkson , N. Potter in regard to his being "howled down." He gives it as bis opinion that the. investigation will prove either a farce .or a tragedy. i W e . quote his two concluding paragraphs: "Those who have, though innocently, sown to the wind will reap the whirlwind. My-own , opinion is, as I have repeatedly stated, this affair will prove in the end either a contemptible farce or a horrible tragedy. " Whether it will lead to the Mexicaniza lion of our Federal Republic, the result must show. But I say, asl said on another recent occasion, that all soft words instilling in the minds of the people of this country the idea that Mr. Hayes can be peaceably unseated by Coogress, - are as delusive and as guileful as the whisperings of the great arch-fiend in the shape of a toad in the ear j, of Eve, from which sprung all our woes.? Postmaster General Key isout in a long, open; letter, addressed 'To the people of the South." He, too, is greatly alarmed. He sees a wooden horse, another, attempt at "revolu tion," and 4 the "bouncing" of Hayes & Co., including, of course, the Ten nessee so-called Democrat in the Cab - inet. ' His associations are such that be talks qnite ' glibly of "Mexicani zing our institutions" because it-' is proposed to inquire into the "true in wardness" of the way in which John Sherman & Co. stole Louisiana and Florida. Let the Postmaster Gene ral be heard: . v . :i , "In the dark days of February, -1877, when civil : war over the disputed election was imminent, and patriots' trembled for ihe safety, of republican institutions, the Southern members of Congress averted the danger by compelling the completion of the Electoral : count under; the ; law .which parties in Congress had enacted. -' ' - , "But now the Representatives from the Southern States, with a very few excep ' tions, have joined a movement to subvert the results of their former patriotic action, and to remand the country to that anarchy ' from which, less than two years ago, it was saved by their efforts. -' "The South must now face the most mo mentous crisis in lis history since 1881. - : "To endorse the recent conduct of theirl -representatives, is to admit the truth of the - charge that the people of the South care nothing for the welfare of the. Union; deV . sire the downfall of : the. Republic and would rejoice 16 see it again involved in . civil war." ' '' """ ' '.'"": "' Key would do well to:." dry a p."

It was conceded to him by the House, and be is President for VOL. XXII.--NO. 60. four, years unless he dies, resigns or is tmpeached. Such is this great law yers opinion. We give a brief para graph as to Hayes's impeach m en t from the Philadelphia Times' inter view of cfadge Black: b ; . "Can he be impeached ' for the'- fraud practiced to elect him f .Certainly not. But if there was a fraud to which he con sented or for which he bargained before hand., and after hn crnt. intra nnnap ha rewarded the miilt of the rnornla hv crivintr them offices, he is Impeachable for that.' ou aiau u tor auoorainate omcer wno a hi At. : , - tue same mmg. ; . : j - The Charleston News and Courier bfent. r and it is really rent in twain, bat there are no signs of an eruption.
