This astute and secretive plotter, who mistakes cun- ning for wisdom, is no doubt sincere fn thinking he has been defrauded of the office to which he was eleeted by the people, and he propably jus- tifles to himsel! the underband attempts he 15 making to shake the stabifity of the Govern- ment, imperil public tranquillity, and dis- turb the business of the country. But meither ~ his aim nor his methods wilt be izdorsed by the publicsenti- meat of the couptry. 1f the Democratic part ets ftself in array against the title of a Presi- dent who has been regularly iuaueurated and has completed nearly ‘half his term, the party wiil exhibit & trulv remarkable cxampie of political suicide. The indignant opposition of the country to an attempt to Mexicanize our institutions will render the Democratle party as odfous to public feeling and as contemptivle {fn numbers as {t was at the close of the Ciyil War. This oreat blunder of the Democrats the Republicans arc prompt to seize upon to their own advautage, as'will be seen by the Kepub- lican address which is issued on the heels of the passage of the Democratic resolution. Against the cry of frund they raise the cry of revolu- tion, and they will unite the whole North ouce more in thelr support.” THE “ TRIBUNE regards _the tovement us revolutionary, and savs: - The Democratic resolution is not only indecent and knavish—it isau attewmpt to get up auew reellion ngainst the lawful suthority.

The Road to Resumption Believed to Be Short and Easy. . Eints Regarding the Chicago Custom- House Investigation. THE REACTION. . SHAKY DEMOCRATS. o Gpectat Dispatch to The Tridune. Wasnixaroy, May 18.—The majority of the Democrats are disappointed, and many of them are alarmed now that they have sccured the in- vestigation, The fact that the Republicans made no attempt to-day to introduce a resolu- tion extending the investigation to other States has added to the Democraticalarm. The Speaker invited the Republicans to do this late yesterday afternoon, by declaring that he was ready to recognize any Republican for that purpose. He was surprised to-day that no Republican asked! that recognition. The Republican desire is not: to move for anv further investigation. Had the Democrats Loown this vesterday, ib is doubtful whether the Potter resd lution could have been passed without amendment. It is even intimated now that tije Democrats may, on their owh motion, intro- duce the resolution which the Republicans have declined to do. ‘The ‘Committee was not nominated to-day, and will not be annousced until Mouday. Speaker Randall has obtained leave of absence for one week to attend the Philadelphia Demo- cratic Convention, and Sayler is to be Speaker the Committce that has been prepared for him by Randall, or.which was long since arranged by Tilden. The comiposi- tion of-the Committee is, of course, larzely speculative. It is a sienificant fact that the nsual custom in such cases has ot been ob- of flFbY-, in the latter it was a duty to resist it. Until the revolutionury intent is wholly de- teated, the Republicans ought to treat all com- promises and udjustments that may be pro- posed precisely 8s the peace-atany-price Copperheads sere treated when the first Re- bellion began." THE “WORLD™. regards the Repuulican address as unwise and wild, and tends to_excite the very clamor and confusfon whiclt thos: who thus misrepresent the action of the Democratic majority pretend to deprecate. The Worldrefers to the report of the Repubiican Congressional Committee in 1569 upon_ tue allezed frauds fn the State of New York, which report consid- cred it of the highest {mportance that Coagress should provide a remedy against furthier fruuds. and asks if o remedy agaiust this danger has since been found or provided. The World adds:- ‘Al that the Potter resolu- tion aims to accomplish {5 to carry out a meas- ure which a Republican Committee of Congress in 1369 truly_pronouuced to be of the highest importance. - Is that measure of less importance now, whon, as the majority of the people of this country believe, the absence of a proper remedy against this danzer in Florida and in Louisiana has actually resulted [n the elevation of a can- didate to the Presidency by votes fraudulently or illegally cast?” . THE GOVERNORS. OPINIONS OF NEW ENGLAND STATE EXECO- TIVES. 5 ‘BosTox, May 18.—New England Governors were interviewed for an expression of opinion upon the so-called Potter resolutiou adopted by the House of Representatives. Gov. Rice, of Massachusetts, believed the Democrats mistake the temper of the country. The people generally have accepted the decision of the Electoral Commission as a finality. The purpose of the present agitation scems either toimpeach the President and oust him from office, or procure material for the fall cam- paign. There is no danger of discovering anything to oust, the President, aud the stability of the Government should not be trified with for mere partisan purposes, particularly at a time when there is so much Communism, active and latent, aud thousands of restless and dissatisfied persons ready to enter upon 3 revolutionary undertak- mzhl_lgvluz the semblance of authoritative lead- erehip. Gov. Counor, of Maliie, expressed unqualified disapproval of the movemeut to -unseat the President. The Republican party of the State, while they may differ concerning certain fea- tures of the Preéident’s policy, wwould no marc think of distarbing his titie than that of Georze Washington. The present action is revolution- ary in the extreme and detrimental to the busi- cerved by Randall, and that the Republicans have not been requested to designate the four Repablicans who shall serve. It is ascertained that Butler s to be given a place as a Republic- an. To this many Representatives WILL OBJECT, as Butler has been in communication with Dem- ocratic witnesses, is hostile to the Administra- tion, and is supposed tc bave formed opinions on this subject. Otber Republicans whom the Speaker s said to baye under consideration are very worthy men, but are not law- yers. It is well known that the preamble, which bases the investigation upon the Blair memorial, was inserted in the resolu- tion at the dictation of Speaker Randatl, who would otherwise never have veen willing to rule that the subject was a privileged question. TILDEN'S WORK. Tt becomes daily more spparent that the in- vestigation orizinated with Tilden; that, in fact, the Blair memorial, the Quo Warranto bill, and’ the_Poter resolation ' bave 2 common |, origin, * There are reasons for believing that Pelton, Tilden’s mncphew, of the Literary Bureau, recently had a secrct conference in Baluimore with ccrtsin members of Congress, who have been most active in their professed attempts to attack Hayes' title, and- i¥ho also were the original movers in this fves- tization. Whatever the majority of the Demo- cratie party may mean, these couspirators mean to vacate the Presidential office. The definite plans of this investigation were undoubtedly formed at this clandestiune interview in Balti- more. Leading spirits in the investigation say to-night that they can have their evidence ready in fittcen days. The evidence is said fo consfst of letters and documents, by means of which the Democrats expect to criminate the visitiug statesmen. Whatever the Democrats may expect to do with their investization, THE RESULYS ALREADY APPARENT here are these: The Republicans arc united. Quarrels with the President. are fo cease. There is to be one common Republican course. advice of party leaders is to be taken by the Administration. Appoinuments already made mdicate that it has been, aud that the President bas abandoned the cxccution of many of his ideas, and_thinks it necessary to co-overate with his party. Other indications are increas- ing of Democratic disunity, defeat of all bene- fical and necessary legistation, and the prac- tical end of all uscful daysof the session. The President seems disposed, to conciliate Blaine and Hamlin. Some timc since, upon the retirement of a Marsbal in that State, their opinions were asked and given, and the Presi- dent acted directly contrary to their views, but within a day or two the President has appointed as Surveyorof Portlund a man who was a friend of both Ellflnc and Hamlin, and has declined to appoint a gentleman who was recommended by the only Republicans of promiucnce who have mven the Administration any support in Malne. The appointment of the HeW Surveyor was made witbout consultation with Blaine or Hlam- lin, who, at the time their Marshal was defeated. said they would never give any further aavice to the President. PRESS COMENTS. NEW YORK JOURNALS. New Yomrk, May 18—The ZTimes, com- menting on the action of the tHouse yester- Jay, says:. “This whol buslness of investiga- tion is the work of 2 handful of men individu- ally unimportant but able to so us¢ the machin- eryof the caycas a3 to commit the'partyin spite of the better judement of the majority of its members. The resolution daes not express the mature rééult-of a conference representing the party os a whole. 1t ‘moralytells the purpose of a faction of which Tilden is the wuiding spirit, and its adoption by the party in Conzress indi- cates how abjectly membera respond to the re- quirements of unscrupalous men who hold the cafiens serew. A circumstance that will by and by cinbarrass the iuvestigators and frustrate the revolutionary part of their proxrammeisthe gradgal awakening of the businesscommunity to the reddty of the peril with which it is threatened.

WasHINGTON, D. C., May 18.—The House considered Hewitt’s Army bill, which professes)) to reduce the number of regiments from forty- two to twenty-six. It was fitting that after the inauguration of the revolution yesterday the Democrats should procced fn the work to at- tempt to destroy the agency which would make the revolution impossible. Hewitt madealong, carefal speech in support of his bill, the details of which have been generally published. Hewitt _was compelled to ackuowledge that iie had dis- iregarded the recommendations of the most {ominent military men, including Gen. Sherman. Hewitt, disclaiming knowledge of military de- tails, said he had consulted the Military Com- mittee, and reported the bill upon their sug- gestion. HE CAUGHT A TARTAR TIERE, for the Republican members of the Military Committee immediately protested that Ban- ning’s bill had never passed the Military Com- mittee. Hewitt was then compelled to admit that by the Military Cowmittee he meant Gen. Banning. Young Gen. Anson MeCook sharply criticized Hewitt's attempt to reorgauize the army, and particularly rebuked him for adopt- ing a bill as coming from tfie Military Commit- tee to which the latter had never been able to 3| agree. McCook promounced Hewitt's bill an attempt to revolutionize the army on an Appro- priation bill. The indications are that the scheme to destroy ithe army will be defeated. The solu! Repub- ican vote will be cast against it, and it is now Jaid that the united Democratic Texas delega- %ion, with the_frontier Congressmen, Williams ¢ Oregon and Luttrell of Californiu, will vote oainst it cven in deflance of cancus dictation.- This will fosure the defeat of the bill. § REDEMPTION. THE SILVER DOLLAR. Special Dispatch th The Tribune. IVASHINGTON, D. C., May 18.—Secretary Sher~ man has concluded to rescind the order by which silver dollars could be issued in exchange for greenbacks for the ostensible reason that siiver does not get nto circulation, but is immediately returned to the Treasury in payment of duties. Silver is now to be issucd for zreenbacks only to the cxtent of $5. Treasury officials claim that the amount of greenbacks outstauding to be redecmed Jan. 1 will be only $300,060,000. There is now available in cofn for redemption purposes $83,000,000. A Treasury official makes the following statement: This amount includes $15,000,000 of Syndicate subscription. Since then jthe Syndicate has taken the . re- maining §35,000,000. This: gives $133,504,203 with which to redeem. :the $317,000,000 in greenbacks, minus the 260,000,000 held in the Treasury, which cannot B¢ touched, or in other words, to redeem $257,000,000. The Syndicate is willing to i s TAKE THE REMAINING 350,000,000 of the 44 per’ cents, and it only remains for the Secretary to sav whetter he will dispose of them. Hemay arrange to get Tid of the 4 per cepts Ipstead, It fa-evident there can be noth- ing in the way of his having io the Treasury next January the amount of cofn for resuming that he has calculuted to have, namely: $205,- 000,000 With this amount he can without any difliculty redeem his then outstanding 3257,- 000,002 fu-greenbacks. The Secretary-does not anticivate he will be called nponto redeem more than $102,000,000, but is securlng coin to mecet any emergency. 2 ST AS EsSTl To the Western Assecland Press. WasmseroyN, D. C., May M.—The Evening Starhas an elaborate articls of4he resumption of specie payments, and It is believed: to have the sanction of the Secretary of the Treasury. It is said there cun be nothing in the way of tle Secretars baving tn the Treasury next January the amount of coin he has calculated ou, name- 1y, $205,000,000. With this amount he can with- out difficulty redecm the outstauding $257,000,-" 000 in greenbacks. The_ Secretars docs not an-; ticipate that he will be catled upon to redeem mose than §102,000,000, but Is securing coin to mect any emergency. 1t is thought that greenbacks, being redeemed {n grold and silver, will be preferred by the oeo- ple to bulk coin. The ouly thing that Keeps gold apove par is likely the fact that customs- duties are payable alone in this coiu, and the chances are that the passuwe of a bill making - greenbacks receivable for such duties will cause the slight premiu:n to disappear. The imports. are larrer than the exports, making the balaoce of trade in our favor. ‘The yearly golg payments by the Government . for interest on bondd is about $90,000,000, which is more than covered by the receipts from cus- toms, which are not calculated for use in re- sumption. . ‘The National Baoks will ALSO HAVE TO RESUME. Their total circulation is about 3$209.240,473; deposits, $661,575.577, making the total liabili- ties about $050,816.052.

DARK HINTS OF IRREGULAIMITIES. - ' Spectal Dispatch 16 The Tribune. ‘Wasnixeroy, D. C., May 18.—The report in the Chicago Custom-House building investiza~ tion will probably soon be sent Cougress with . the recommendation that that body take steps to mscertain whether ofitrages such as have | been committed in connection with that con- tract can be prevented in the future. The re- port itself contains 3 great deal of very ugly testimony. Assistant District-Attorney Thom- son, who makes the report, is of opfafon tiat while the facts already developed do not clearly establish a conspiracy, yet that so much has been discovered that the attention of the Grand Jury should be called to the 1matter. Collector William Henry Smith, in _ writing, certifies that tho evidence taken, and the conclusions of Assistant-District- Attorney Thomson, can be supported by the strongest cvidence. No person is by nime charged with any crime or negligence, but the | report i3 dirccted to tbe Superintendent ot - the building and the several administrations of >~ tue Architect’s office. The stone contractor Is censured in the sirongest terms,and his asts are deemed worthy of Investigation by tho Grand Jury. 3 The Sccretary of the Treasury finds in the report as submitted from Chicago, & priwa fucie case of fraud, and ndoubtedly will refer the matter to the Department of Justive for report or action, if, indeed, he has not already done: so. which it s believed ha has. Secretary Sherman will undoubtedly per- , mit the full report to be made public a5 soon As Burline, and Mills for Mueller, shall have sub- mitted their counter statements. Mills, agent of Mueller, the Buena Vistastong . contractor, has arrived bere'and presented him- sel to the Secretary of the Treasury. Tneap- . plication made by bim for permission to sce the |, report of the Custom-tlouse Building Investi- gating Commissiou und accompanying papers was readily granted in writing, glthoush it has been conmstantly refused to rep- rescntatives of the people and press. Mills has been busy uring the day in the office of the Supervising-Architect examining all the papers relating to the subject. The_pernnssion whici he reecived from Seeretaty Sherman was vers broad, and gave him authority to examnine every paper. ‘The ostensible object of Mills fn ex- amining the papers is that he may prepare his own defense. Mills says to-night that there i3 no defense to make against the charzes, which . are mere insipuations. Neverthcless, he ap- pears disposed to answer the charges, althouzh he is Jmlmxs\:d to term them insinuations. Ile found enough in the report against his chief to take some time to answer. - NOTES AND NEWS. EVENINS SESSIONS. Special Dispateh to The Tribune. Wasamseroy, D.

THE CINCINNATI WHISKY PRAUDS. Gen. Raum, Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue, received a dispateh to-day from Chiet Special Agent Sewell at Cincinnati, stating th: the whisky investization there was nearly com- pleted; that previous reports upen: which sefzures had been made were corroborated; that additional evidence of irregularities Is daily be- ing received. Sewell had just bad brought into | ‘him eighty-five stamps that had becn used aud ‘laid away for another use. There is sbuudant ievidence to show successful attempts to avoid ‘nssessments of ail sorts. Commissioner Raum is adrised that the deposed Collector, Wetzel, - intends to make an earnest attempt to defeat the confirmation of Lis successar. Raum says that he will have evidence cnongh to submit to | the Scoate Committee 3 JUSTIFY WEITZEL'S REMOVAL. Among other things there are reports showing that, besides official frrezularities, Weitzel’s personal habits are not of the character which she Department requires. Hie drinking habits . are said to be bad. i DEMOCRATIC LUNCHES. } McManon, Democratic member of the Iouse ;Comnmittec on Accounts, says Glover’s discov- fery of the extravazance of Congressman Mor- irison’s Committee’s lunch-bill” in the last Louisiana investigation is a discovery in which there is nothing vew. It has Leen the practice of the Democratic House to allow liberal ex- penses for the whisky bills of Congressional Committees. Even the Democratic Cominittee apoointed to attend the funeral of Senator Mor- ton presented @ lunch-bill for about $400, in 3 which Old Stae whisky was an_{mportant item. There will doubtless be amore careful super- vision of the whisky expenses of the Potter fnvestigation. TREASURY STATEMENT. o the Western Associated Press. WasmscToN, D.
