He will do this to silence the assertions that such action will be taken by republicans, but whether such an amendment could be ratified is not clear. PUsll*l«J OPINION, THE \open letter\ addressed by William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, to the re- publicans of that State is such a frothy, un substantial production that its effect would be harmless even if it had a more important authorship. Coming at it does from a politi- cal understrapper, who has no reputation other than that which attaches to a super- serviceable partisan, itt charges against Pres- ident Hayes, Secretary Sherman and the oth- er alleged parties to an imaginary political bargain pending the decision of the Presiden- tial election will receive no consideration.— Although it would seem a waste of time to refute such stale slander* Secretary Sherman has chosen to give them an explicit denial in a few words, so far as they refer to him. ' *Oh fudge t the charge isn't worth talking about/' he says, but he adds, \There is no truth whatever in the story.' Colonel Burke, of New Orleans, in an interview with a Herald oorrespondene states that whatever p« k omises were made before the Louisiana oottnt came from tbe radicals, including Chandler. Ac- cocdias* to Colonel Barks they pledged the Hayes administration to the oarpet-bag gov- ernment as well as to ftfcs conservatives in- tending to break faith wish the latter, and were ready to do aaytkinK to secure the count But Colonel Barke denies the kmowl- edjra of any pledges mada by Presistswt Hayes and is as emphatic a* Sejorstary Sherman in his denial of Chandler'* ajsjertions. He shows that the propositions $m the restoration of self-government for the tlkmtk came first from President Grant and wpn only interrupted to the efforts of the *4ieal*.—<N«w York Herald.) J WE have no wish to sharpen the feeling* of shame and indignatioa with which respect- able Republicans will read the aberrant given by the most active manager of their party during the last Presidential election of the processes by which tht Presidential office was finally secured to dsi Republican nomi- nee. Whether Chandler tells the truth about other people, his associates, allies and em ployera,may well be doubted ; but there can be no doubt that Chandler tells the truth about himself. His complaint is that sundry wicked and corrupt bargains which he says that he engineered in the interest of the par ty of great moral ideas have not been carried out, and he calk upon the Republi can party to \act courageously up to its noble convictions\ and to redrafts its reputation by insisting that those wkkad and corrupt bar- gains shall now be executed, or the whole 'varsal country whelmed in one universal and resounding smash.—(World.) WIIILK we are qnarreling over our skeleton of an anny—some wisacres clamoring for its reduction to 10,000 me% and others for its increase to 40,000—tae German Imperial Government makes its •ettmatesfor next year exceed those of last yeaifcptl,000,000 marks Not only would it strspgtnesi and enlarge its vast army of 1,570.009 tten, but ift also pro- poses an iacrease for-lhe na/jr evtimawi of S,. 200,000 marks in the ordinary department* and 6,000,000 marks in the extraordinary de partment. All this is *noagn, by way o contrast, to take away Ifce breath of both ex Secretary Robesofi and General Sherman, not to mention ex-Secretary of War Dana, and shows a condition of thJQgs the 8vn should refuse to shine upon. y MR. WILLIAM K. CiriwpLKR of New Hamp shire is a Republican ei eminent rank. He has been.Asjtstant Secretary of the Treasury, and is known as a politician of experience and resource. Having been prominent and active in the management of tke last Presidential campaign, he was selected and sent down to Florida to engineer the oouuting of the votes of that State so as to prodire a declaration that the Hayes electors ha4 been chosen by the people. No man understands more inti- mately than he the intrigues, the corruption, and the frauds by which effect was procured front' iority of the Florida Retu rung Board ; ana if he should now turn St« e's evidence and reveal all that he knows al rat it, the Fraud- ulent President could not r main in the White House for twenty-four hou i.—(Sun.)

MB, CHANDLIR'S letter has created more atir in Republican circles than th* Republi- cans cure to adroit. The force of the letter is not in the new information it contains, nor in its surmises as to the complicity of South- era Democrats in any scheme for counting Hayes into the Presidency, but in the fact that it is a virtual confession of the fraudulent steps by which the Presidency was secured, ana the open antagonism of a strong and ac- tive body of Republicans to the Administra- tion. Indeed, it is very doubtful whether Southern Democrats made any arrangement or had any understanding whatever with the Hayes Republicans while the electoral count was goiug on. Mr. Randall Gibson, of New Orleans, emphatically denies tbe existence of any such agreement. The only bargain known to have been made was between the Hayes men and Packard and Chamberlain, who were undoubtedly promisld protection and support for their fraudulent operations.— (N. Y.
