Washington-, May 28. In lieu of a personal answer to many letters received from friends of the South, disclaiming sympathy with any effort to unseat Presi dent Hayes, Postmaster General Key has written the following open letter to the people of the South : Washington, May 28. Circumstances attending the passage of the Potter resolution to investigate the alleged frauds in the Presidential election 1876 in the Stales of Louisiana and Florida, together with subsequent decla rations of many influential Democrats, politicians and journalists, evidence that if both houses of the Fortysixth Congress are Democrats, the majority Intend to oust President Hayee and;inaugurate Mr, Tllden. The title of President Hayes was set tled Irrevocably by the Fortyfonrth Con gress in the act creating the Electoral Commission, under which he was legally declared elected and legally inaugurated. The Fortyfifth Congress has no more right to dispute, his eleotion than he has to question the title of any victorious contestant to his seat in that body. The Fortysixth Congress will have no more right to JgDore him and recognize his de feated contestant (Mr, Tilden) than Mr. Hayes would have to send a file of sol diers to the House of Bepresentatives to unseat a Democrat whom he might ,uo!aci n nave traeu nwui'uuj misu or fraudulently elected, The leaders in this desperate attempt to Mexicanizs our institutions rely confidently upon a "solid South" to furnish the bulk of the Democratic majority in the next House of Bepresentatives, the Senate being already saoured. Bemembering the encouragement which the Northern Demoorate In 1860 and 1861 extended to the Southern States to secede, and the manner in which their promises of aid and comfort were fulfilled, oan Southern people afford to join this revolutionary movement with the certainty that when the inevitable hour of peril comes, they will again be left unassisted and alone to meet the storm from the North, once more united by this at tempt to revive an issue whose settlement was forced by publio opinion upon an unwilling Congress, In the dark days of February, 1877, when civil war over a disputed eleotion was imminent, and patiiofs trembled for the safely of Republican institutions, the Southern members of, Congress averted tbe danger by compelling the completion of the Electoral count under the law whioh both parties in Congress had en- aoted ; but now Beprisentatives from the Southern States, with a very few excep tions, have joined a movement to subvert the results of their foimer patriotic so lion, and to remand the country to that anarchy from which less than two years ago It was saved by their efforts. Qrant that in permitting the autonomy of all the States, and In appointing citizens to office in the South instead of strangers, President Hayes has but discharged his constitutional duty. Does that excuse Southern Bepresentativoa for attempting to invalidate his title which they established 7 Or will it justify them in bring ing Ihe country again in danger of civil war in an effort to unseat him and inaugurate Mr. Tilden ? The South must now face the most mo mentous crisis in its existence since 1861 To indorse the recent conduct of their representatives, is to admit the truth of the charges that the people of the South care nothing for the wel fare of the Union, desire the downfall of the Bepublio and would re joice to see It again involved in civil war. As their Bspresentatlves have not re fleeted their sentiments, aa I believe to be the case, the people of the Southern States ehould take care that In the Forty- sixth Congress they are represented by men who will defeat the disturbers of publio peace and prevent tbe Mexioanlzs tlon of our institutions, To do this they may be compelled to act independent of the Democratic party. Recent events have demonstrated the inability of the Democratic members of Congress to resist the mandates of the oaueua and tbe terrors of the party lash the one wielded and the other inspired by men who seem willing to endanger the welfare of the country and the stability of Bspublioan Institutions for the sako of revenge oa politioal opponents and In the hope of dividing the "spoils of victory ." If the Democratic Eopresen tatives of the South could not resist the caucus command to pass the Potter resolution, unamended and without de bate, how will they be able in the Forty-sixth Congress to resist a similar command to ignore Mr. Hayes as President and to recognise Mr. Tilden T It is there fore the duty of the Southern people to afford the crowning evidence of their renewed devotjon to the Union, In which they now enjoy every right of cltisenship and are subjected to no restrictions not laid upon every citizen, by sending Bepresentatives to the Fortysixth Congress pledged to resist at all hazards the revolutionary schemes of the mischief makers, who seem to have gained control of the House of Bepresentatives of the Fort;-fifth Congress. To this end the people in every district should meet publicly, organize and resolve to support no. person for Congress who has given aid to this movement, and who will not pledge biro self to suetain the title of President Hayes daring the term for which be was elected, against all at tempts at Its overthrow. ' Only in this way can a grave danger to the Bepublio be averted, and a convinc ing proof be given that the confidence was not misplaced which President Hayes manifested in the South when he with drew the troops from the State Houses of South Carolina and Louisiana. I have spoken plainly and earnestly, for I feel that I should be unworthy to represent the South in the Administra tion were I to remain silent now. Invi ted to the Cabinet ss a Southern man, to see that justice, was done to tbe South, required neither to apologize for my record nor to disown mv political princi ples, it is my duty now to warn the peo ple of the South of the danger which threatens the country. No man need hope that the schemes of the men who nave engineered the movement to unseat President HayeB oan be carried out with out a bloody civil war. To avert this danger, 1 confidently rely upon the pa. triotism and honor of the people of my native section, D. M, J4.HY, THE OHUKOHES. Presbyterian Oeneral Aeeembly.

Mr. Hamlin, from the committee on For eign Relations, reported a bill providing for the payment of the award made by the Fishery Commission at Halifax under the treaty of Washineton. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Hamlin ais. reported, irom tne Bame committee a long, written report to accom pany the bill; also a concurrent resolution that the views and recommendation em braced in the report of the Senate committee on Foreign Relations touching the award made by the Fishery Commission at Halifax are hereoy approved. The report of the committee of Foreign Relations, above referred to, in conclusion says: And your committee further recommend that the Executive Department of the United Statea should be authorized to pay the award, if after correspondence with the Government of Great Britain, the President of the United States shall, without further communication witn congress, deem that such payment shall be demanded by the honor and good faith of the Nation, and if in pursuance of that conclusion, the reward shall be paid, that the President shall as soon as may oe tnereaiter lay too corresponasnce with the British Government relating thereto before Congress, unless, in his opinion, it shall be incompatible with the public interest to do so. We would suggest that In tbe event of the payment ot the award by the United States, the utmost care and circumspection be employed to disabuse the minds of the British and Canadian Governments, as well ss the British and L.nadlan people, of any possible impr.ssion that the United States, or the American people do, or ever can, accept tbe award of the Halifax Commission as a just manr nf value of inshore fisheries in Oa- nitriUn waters. Aorainst the inference, de duction, conclusion or belief, the Congress of the Nation, the Senators ot states, ana tne Representatives of the House of Representatives and of the people respectfully but firmly and decidedly protests, and they do not proteit merely from a sense of injustice that is done in the award, but also and especially because In future negotiations with England, regarding trade and commerce between the United States and the Dominion nf iinnnria. the Government of the United States will not recognize the award of the Halifax Commission as in any tense a just mCBSUIS OI VaiUC Ol IUO UOUCIICO 1U quvouuu.

Nevertheless, it is neceaBary she ehould prepare for any eventualities, Tbe Poaltlon Aeanmed by Austria. Vienna. May 28. Count Andrassy to-day informed the delegations that the Monarchy could not allow itself to occupy a position of moral dependence npon the other Powers, The military preparations were necessary because if the Congress, of the aseembling of which there was now a near prospect, should lead to a Jturo- pean understanding, the moment would have come for changes in all the frontier relatione, which might oauee complica tions. The Government desired to strengthen the forces in Balmatea and Transylvania, to atrengthen a few defensive positions and to eeoure lines of communication in the event of military concentration. It would strive for the main tenance of peace, and resolutely defend European and special interests. Tbe Hervonsnesa of ibe Saltan of Tarttey.

It" I lost tome good points by absence, though the average reader, for whom alone I write, will possibly be puzzled to know what there was to loie in three set speeches In one evening on Sunday bchool work That was the order on the programme, and the speakers were the well known workers in that department, Rev. Warren Randolph, D. D., of Indiana; Kev. Charles Rhoads, or Ohio, and Rev. G. A. Peltz, ot New low. ineae men nave long made tbis branch of Christian effort a specialty, and the interest that attaches to their appearance In such a Convention, is that which grows out of the principal that when out of the abundance of such hearts the mouth epeaketb, it is apt to utter something worth remembering. To-day has been occupied with tha fiftyfourth annual meeting of tbe American Baptist Publication Society, Jamea L. Howard, of Connecticut, President. The occasion was oneof especial Interest from several points of view. First there was, after the usual devotional exercises, the annual sermon by Rev. H. P. Colby, of Dayton, and then the address of welcome to all the meetings, delivered by Rev. Dr. Gardner, formerly of Boston, recently pastor o the church with which these meetings are held, and soon to be again of Boston. In his well timed greetings he alluded In fitting sentiment to the contrast presented by the state ef the country blteen years ago, wnen these anniversaries were last held in Cleveland, when the country was in the peril of a great civil war, and now, with peace abroad in the land and a rapidly progressing restoration of fraternity. At the afternoon teuton a leature was me nrpasnce of colored delegates from two of the Southern States in the person of Revs. A. Shepard, ot norm uarouna, ana a. . Rowley, of South Carolina, who gave graphio accounts of the progress of Sunday School work in their respective 8 atet under the organizing tavor ana patronage oi tne publication societies. These two colored speakers created a highly favorable im-nP.Minn far their race, and were repeatedly and quite enthusiastically oheered. In tne eieotton ot ouicsrs tut iuo eueuiug year Rev. Samuel A. Crogar, of Pennsylva nia, was cuoaea JTteaiucub. au iuioicduuk account was given of -the manner in which a mortgage upon tha property in Philadelphia of the Publication Booiety was paid by tne generosity of two persons, Mr. John D. Oroger giving $20,000 and Mr. William Bucknsr $50,000. So that the property valued at a round quarter of a million dollars, is now wholly unincumbred, and a highly sensible resolution was adopted to keep it free of Incumbrance. An ineffectual effort was made to secure the adoption of a resolution instructing the society to resume tbe publication some time tinea discontinued for want of a paying subscription lisitofthe denominational quarterly. The subject was well gotten rid of by inferring tha whole ejuestlon' on motion of Mr. W.H. Doane, of Cincinnati, back to I the Executive committee.
