The fraud by which Hayes was elect ed is coming ,out fuller each day al though it was evident all along. Ihc conspirators in that national dis graco are, one after another, easing their consciences by confessions. Last week's Reporter contained Sena tor Cenkling's story about the matter as given by tho senator to a representative of the World. In another column of this issue we give the confession of M'• Lin, ex-Sec V of State of Florida, w hich show? how Florida was stolen from Til den and falsified for the fraudulent Uayos. Let then be no rest until the whole iniquity is laid bare, aud tho perpetra tors of the groat crime have their merit ed punishment. If Mr. Hayes had a spark of self-re gpect he would resign a east which he holds by clear fraud. Tho confession of M'Lin and lfennis to having falsified the Florida returns in favor of Hayes makes Montgomery Flair feel confident that his Maryland resolu tione will lead to tho ousting of Hayes. The confession of these men has raised n great deal of excitement at Washing* tou. That llaycs holds the seat by fraud every one knew long before these men confessed —it is only addiug evi dence with each day of the greatest of all American rascalities. Wo think tho IVnua legialatare should pass a resolution censuring Harry White for cxpoaing our trout streams in con gress—ontsidera will now come in ar.d catch all our tiah. Tha Fhilad. Times thinks General llarry White has a sure thing on the Republican nomination for Governor now. He is the only man iu the party who knows the navigable rivers of the Ftate, and with and Interna. Improvements as the batUecrv of the contest, who but the champion of Kiskiininila? can lead tho Republican forces ? Harry White may know all about the Kiskiminetas and some other tront Streams, but will wager wo can pnxxle him with the "Kaarondinhali," and no congressman can step across it at low water. * Cashier Zeller of the Tifiin Nat. Rank disappeared with ?40,000 of the funds of that institution. Smart fellow, that. Had he taken only 500 or 1000 he'd been a rascal. The heaviness of the take makes him respectable. Jeff Davis has made a trip to Mexico. An account from the city of Mexico says. Jetiexson Davis before leaving this city was complimented with a grand milita ry review at San Laraxo. About 5,000 of all arms were in line. Mr. Davis was mounted and in full uniform. The mighty revenue raising effects of the bell punch, can be gathered from the New York Sun, which calculates that the number of drinks sold in that city is not less than 1,200,000,000 a year, which under the Moffet law would yield a revenue to the government 0f512,000,- 000 a year. The Sun begs the Legisla ture to empower the city to collect reve* nue by the bell-punch method. At the republican county convention ©f Union county, the Cameron clan was routed. Charley Wolf was after the Winnebagoes aaJ carried instructions for Wickersham for governor, against Hoyt, the Cameron choice. Charly is very litter against the Cameron clan, and will fight it up to the hilt. Charly is right enough in that job, but what can he do outside of old Union ? The Washington correspondent of the X. Y. Ilerald takes down the republi can cry of "Rebel Claims," by an inter esting comparison with northern claims. He says: The republicans have recently been publishing statements intended to pro duce the impression that the "Southern claims" business is a real danger to the Treasury and the taxpayers. These statements have been sent out from here in large quantities to the niral districts to inspire the voters with a terror of the democratic party, which, it is charged, if it should be allowed to get into power, stands ready to appropriate not less than $300,000,000 to satisfy the Southern claims. This kind of business, however can be done by both sides, and the re publican exhibit of Southern claims nave led democrats to go over the files of the bills in the present House and Senate with the result, as will be shown in detail in a few days, that there are Northern claims on file to the amount ofsl,Goo,ooo. It will be shown at the name time that the greater part of the so-called Southern claims are in the hands of Northern men, having been bought up by them or originated by them and being "Southern" only in the sense of location. It will be remembered that in the River and Harbor bill, which has passed the House, the Northern appro priations are two-thirds of the whole amount appropriated, but it should be added that these mountains of claims from all parts of the country are con stantly before Congress, with very little danger of being granted. The danger of the Treasury will hereafter be !e.-- than ever, because there no doubt that Mr. Potter's bill sending all such claims to the Court of Claims and making it unlawful for Congress to pass upon any that are not favorably reported from the Court will become a law at the present session. This Court has not a single Southern judge, and but a single demo crat on it. This whole fuse about South ern claims is only a campaign buga boo. The railroads'arc again having a hit ter fight over passenger rates. A dis patch from Cincinnati April 2 0, says that the war on ticket rates to the East is becoming very hot, and rates are be ing cut to a very low figure. The uomi nal price to New York is now $lO, but according to ccmtnon report tickets can be bought for about lialf that rate. The Enquirer says that the fight has become so bitter that even the ticket agents have lost their temper, and to-day rep resentatives of the Pennsylvania and Erie, the competing lines, indulged in a free fist-fight in front of the Hurnet Bouse, the Pennsylvania men coming out winners. When railroad companies fight the people look on without sympathy for either side, and are right glad if all con cerned come out of it badly whipt, as the people have nothing to loose and are the gainers while the fight goes on. We nevor enjoy low passenger and "••eight rates unless these corporations get into a fight. At their meeting the other night in Washington the Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes temperance Bociety, discarded the. name of the organization on the ground hat although alio discountenanced winc it the Dnkc Alexia and other dinners t ,he executive mansion she , tuiitenan,- od the use of claret punch at the dinner on board the excursion steamer on Del aware bay during the recent trip. One of the resolutions passed by the Society, pronounces Mrs. Hayes 'as big v fraud as her husband." / ec.isi.a nil'.

THE ERA ri >. The recent confessions and dev. !op mcnts concerning the stolen president >. follow ing closely upon the heel of sena tor Conk ling's declarations to a W, .id reporter, arc opening the presidential steal afresh, and causing an a. .lenient scarce less than that witnessed by the countr\ when the monstrous fraud wat perpetrated. How can there be quid under so great a wrong The American people are not toa>L of the kind ' ma terial t© 1-eep quiet when it i. e'ear as noonday that a man occupies the seat of Washington by the greatest fraud *v* perpeUated. No trap American desires to see so great a eia.u upon our coun try's good name, without :ui effort to wipe it out, or giving an indication - t the popular disgust with which the American people behold their voice -et aside and a usurper tilling the Jifiot 0* chief magistrate. It will not do. The people must not rest until the brand ol infamy scorches the guilty perpetrators of the fraud as well as him who now holds the stolen place. The judiciary committee on Friday last liavjug adjourned without action on the Florida controversy, several prouii* nent democrats had a conference 'he question before the house to wciun a special committee or to instruct the ju diciary to proceed at one© to the thor ough investigstion of the whole matter. It appears that purti~s are now in 1 lori da procuring evidence, and from private information with some succca. General Butler says that IVuui* hud all these facta before liim some weeks ago ur.der a pledge of sccresy an I re turned to Florida with a viewot inukai, up the details. From what Dennis com municated to hint, he regarded the mat ter as serious and demanding a fuii in vestigation. Mr. ltutlor stati- that Ju lias important information touching the Louisiana vote and the operations of the ' oresidential commissioners. He allege that money wan used by Mr. Mack eagh to bring about the result. From Conkltng's declaration# aa a-i as from the confessions of M'Lin and Dennis it is plain that llayes had a knowledge of the frauds ami tl--.it lie sent Gov. Xoves —now his miu.-ter t - France—to Florida L> make pr miscs to the perpetrators of tLo frauds that thev would be taken o somed themselves and their written statements have gone to Washington. The Archer fraud is fully developed, and the little crookedness in Raker is laid bare, audtalso the secrets of the state canvassing board at iallabassee. THE ERA LD FILLY CONFESSED. Enough lias been confessed to give the State to Tilden by a large majority. Mc- Lin, Chairman of the Returning Hoard, has written an affidavit in w hicn he says that lie is now convinced that he was misled in the count and that the State really weut for Tilden by fiOOortiOO ma jority. He says: Noyes of < )hio, now American Miuister in Paris, offered him all sorts of preferment and reward if he would only stand up to Hayes, adding that lie was authorized to sjieak for Hayes. McLin says he was influenced pressure, by bis strong political bill and by the tremendous stake at issue. He was misled and gave the dtate to Hayes when it should have been gi ven to Tilden. His affidavit is gener al in ita nature and is a mere premise ol what he will say when occasion otiers.; Two copies of this affidavit are in ex is-; tence, one in New York and one in this city.

A b>V York Herald ci-rrcspoudctit telegraphing from "aris, Aj.ril 20. says: From a person who profesc . to have an intimateucquaiutanct with the vat;- can, 1 hear that a movement is on foot which promises to be the uio-t impor tant event in tLo religious history of the century. This is nothing leas than the secession in large bodies of members of the English I'roUstant church to the Kou.an Catholic church. Tho number of seerders is p&ci: J at as high a figure as a.UXIJA* 1 ol people. Included in tliis exodus from Uic church of England are bishops, rectors, curates and deacons. Authorized dele gates are, it is asserted now in Rome ne gotiating the conditions upon which the -occasion will take place. Acceptance id the catholic faith is promised c:i the following conditions: First. The acceptance of all the doc trines of the Catholic church. Second. To solve the difficulties among Anslicans relative to ordination, bishojis, ministers and deacons consent to receive fresh orders in the Roman church under certain conditions. Third. All new priests undertake to observe celibacy. Fourth. Ministers already married shall not be asked to quit their families, but shall bo debarred from hearing con fessions. Fifth. The new Catholics to be plaes cd for a period of twenty years under a ! special episcopal hierarchy m order to smooth tiie many differences of opin ion that uiAj a?:-- during the transi tion.

Ilia braves are dre*acd;i)clothes of Custer's murdered men, and Killing Hull tells the IndianSNiointing to these spoils, that's the way he does with the whites, lie appeals to the cupidity of the Indiana by promising them plenty of plunder. Sitting Hull last visited the Kantees, a small tribe near the Canadian line, and by Liu appeals won them over and they have joined hia war party. The hostile Indians are mainly gath ered near the Sand Hills, where buila)oi are plenty owing to the abundance of! grass. In the neighborhood of these hills about twelve hundred lodges of Indians are encamped, consisting ol Hlackfeet, under llig Crow l oot and Hiud Hull, Woods, under lied Crow, 4**)iiiboines, under Medicine Hull and Hig Hour, C'rees, under l.ittle Chief; V auk tons, uud.'r t'hif;f Wine; Kan tees, under White lap; hiou*, ab.out three hundred lodges, under Crazy Horse; Yauktonais, under Hlack Cattish; tiros VeiilreH, under White Eagle; also lodges ol Picgans, Korceca, Koo tenuis and Hrules, under other chiefs. Kilting Hull is camped near the Hills, ' with several hundred lodges that he lias gathered into his fold during the last two or three months. The Indians are well ariaed and well supplied with am munition, soma having improved needle guns. They are full of way spirit and subject to Hittaig Hull, ia wlmtfi they seem to have the utmost confidence. 1 This writer of the letter predicts a bloody war unless provision is made to meet the first hostile movement of (lie Indians with troops enough to check the war at the very start. rHK V It. i I.KN r I*I' SSI A NS, Poaitiuna Are Being Strengthened. l*ominn, AprilThonegotiation* re gnrding tho ci iigi i - - nnd tho withdraw al f the 111 'i- Ii fleet ati'l tho Hu*lnii truivp* from ar Constantinople I u a- yet led to no result, nnd it i* considered very un fortunate that l'rinco Pbrnarek and t'rinco i lor!*- hakott have fallen ill at tin- critical Juncture In tho uncertainty of tho issue of the pOttrptrlet* the Russian* aro dcing their be*l to iftrimgtlion tfi• ir pe-ltlen m l ad vice* 11 oil \ i'.i'U - de* cone ir t hat tt rro ire c m* detahle m-ivemenl* of tump* !o warvl Co -ii 1 nople c m (iallipoli According to a letter in ilia Vienna /' ' - u* f --pi infen- from lchaldja, ihoul thirty mihvt norttiwc-t frmn Con tn:.!Hiople, *upper and ri.UiD infant r\ arc at work ihne turning and complet ing tine* thrown up by the Turk* along the ** !io!e li'io from llademk ■! to Hcrko* on the black *ea.

Mr. RHis rcpli.d that that wu .be very reason why the light of discussion should he let in upon such bills in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Hrwitt Dem. N. Y ) said that he* had signed the protest because ho had not had a chance to study the bill. The bill took out of tbo Treasury S7,UUO,(AW. by a process of Comb.nation, from the hard . arn 1 money of the people. The city of New York had no grievance; $750,1**) bad been appropriated for work in the vicinity of If ew Yori. Thu district which he rep n vented was very largely intermlt-a in the bill, and yet he Voleqagainst it and pro-; i. tcd against legislation which denied the! House an opportunity to discuss iho bill. ( If the oily of New York never received! another dollar be should still, so long as' he had a sent on the floor, vote and pro- j test against legislation so incongruous and unconsidered in its character. Mr. Roberts sent to the Clerk's desk and had read from last year's record the names of Mr. Caldwell ' Dem. Tenn.) Robinson Hep. ltid,)and Kllis as having voted to suspend the rules and pass tho Hirer and Harbor bill, Iho same gentlemen having this year signed tho protest. Mr. Hamilton (Dem. Ind.) said that the bill of last year be bad not examined, but had taken it on the faith of the committee, and had voted for it. lie lound bo hail been grossly mistaken, and be would nev er take another bill on the faith of a com mittee ; nover, nevcf, never I (Laugh ter.) Mr Wright again brought up tho quel-j tion of tho streams in the AlleghenyfMoun uins, and excited his colleague (Mr.( White) to renew tho contest. In tho heat of the discussion they gradually approach ed each other Irom opposite sides of the chamber, and, amid iuue-cribaule uproar and confusion, wrangled as to the sue of the streams. Mr. \\hiteflourished a boob containing an engineer's report on the subject, and when, in answer to Mr. Wright's oft- repeated question, Mr. White spread out a map on which the streams wero indicated, Mr. Wright point ed at the man with an air of contemptuous triumph, anu said that that (the width ol tiie sheet o! paper) was the width of these streams, lie suued and wared tho map in"Mr. White's laco, for they had then conic close together, and .Mr. Wbilomado a motion as it he would throw tho volume at Mr. Wright's head ; and all throughl the ludicrous scene, as throughout the whole Jay's session, there xyev® shouts ol laughter, uproar, contusion and unbound ed disorder. WH V THERE IS NO RAIN JNPEKU In Peru, South America, rain is un known. The coast of Peru is within the region ofpcrnctual south-east trade wind* and though the Peruvian shores aro on the verge of the great sea boiler, yet it never rains there. Tho reason is plain. The south-anil trade winds ill the Atlantic ocean first strike tho water on the coast of Africa. Traveling to tho north-west they blow obli',uuly across the ocean until they roach the "coast of Brazil. B.v this time tliey are ladun with vapor, which they continue to bear along across tho conti nent, depositing it as they go, and supply ing with it the sources of the Rio du la Plata and the southern tributaries of tho Amiiaon. Finally they reach the snow capped Andes ; hero is wrung from them the last particle of moisture that a very low temperature call attract. Reaching the summit of that range they now tumble dojyn as cool and dry winds on tho Pacific slope beyond. Mooting with no evaporat ing surface, and' no' temperature iolJor than that to which thfiy worb subjbct'on the mountain tops, they roach the ocean before they bppomo charged with fresh vapor#, pnd btdere, therefore, they have any whi.'H the Peruvian pliipgtu can ex tract. Thus we see how tue Wps Of the Andes become tho roservoir from which arc supplied the rivers of Chili nnd Peru.
