Business Depression Consequent upon the Unsettled Condition of Political At fairs. LONDON, April 29.--The present condlition of foreign politics contilnues to exert a pow erful and deleterious influence on the course of trade generally. Whatever may he the ultimate issue of the negotiations now in progress, it is clear that it will take some time to restore confldenr e to the mercantile world. The fact that much less raw material is now being imported, is one of several cni- I dents which tend to show the, disinclination to do other than a present-want business t pending some definite solution of the ques- l tions at issue.

The Washlngton Clerks and Civil Mervice Reform. NEW YoRK, April 2).- -The P'ot's WVashing ; to special says the question of allowing clerks in the several departments to revive State associations to do political work in con n,<.tion with the approahing Congressional elections, has been the sui,jet. of eon,,ideera tin by the President and some members of his administration. Under the order issued last year by the President all State associa 'iatio.s were disbanded recntly. Souee of tlhe, most active irnem.. rs of defunct New York and Massa-ohusetts as_-o(:iati,,jns were led to believe that the views of the President - in relation to clerks doing organized politil,-a ! work had be en mcdlilied, and that no objee tions would be made to reviving the State as sociations. Thereupon notices were issued to former membrrs, and at meetings bheld new i State organizations were c.ompleted. After this it was thougit best to obtain the formal oonsent of the administration to what had been done.

'They wornlf inot even unexpected, for both l)emn(rat e anl lRepublicans have known for some tI.fle that they were comfng and what their tefnor would he. But they have eubservewl the purpose of tearing away many Ilimrny veils of pret,enser, and of laying bare a great, mlny sharms. illthertoevery propflstion to reopen tIR Q(r'BHTION4s (IROWINO OUfT OF TIIE ELEa 'rfoiAt, c)l;NT has boeen met alroit alike by the friends and the Op poilnti Of Ha yes tw boh Dem)icraW suI Itepublicans, with the plea that there was no aplpeual from the de(i.ions of the Electoral (nommission, and that the danger of olvil strife ensuing upon a reopening of the case wouldl b a worse evil than to let the results of fraud stand. The logic of the supporters of Ilayes, reduced to pIlain English, has been: "Yes, we grant you that Hayes was not. electel. iBut the Elnectral Commissilon was orgailled to deteirrneo the succession, did de trerine it, Its d.cleeion was ratlflied by Con grrss and Hayes was inaugurated; therefore there are so many steps to retrace in order to got back to the fac(e of the returns which really electred Tilden, andi those steps are fraught with such peril to the peace of the country, that it is better to lut Hayes stay where he Is than to renew the agitations which attended his counting in." This logic found willing disciples and was acceptedl with a wry face by unwilllng ones too, for that matter, so long as the men who did the dirty work of the great crime held their secrets. It was easy to say: "Suppose you rieopen the ease and take up those lines of investigatk.n which the Electoral Commis sion refusal to touch; suppose you renounoe the aliunde doctrine and go Intothe questioul of fact as to the original returns; don't you ee. that that would stir up a Pandora's box of conflicting testimony, breed new perjury by the tofn and plunge the country Into a con troversy the end of which no man may fore" s.c?" TlE VALTTE OP THr rFE CONFE5IOis lies in the fIet that they afford at once and for all a crushing answer to all such pleas as the above. Immunity or no immunty, you cannot in law go behind the confession of a criminal, when that confession crimninate nobody but himself. The Florida case is clear and complete. Every man who had anything to do with the frauds that gave the State to Hayes is voluntarily on the witness stand, an(l there is nobody to say that they have falsely confessed. There are THREE MEN WHO KNOW AfL ABOUT TE YI'ORIDA FRAUDSl elsides those who actually conmmiltted them. T'hey are Win. E. Chandler, Wm. J. Purman and Francis (C. Barlow, of New York. Pur man has alrelady given in his testimony on the floxr of (congress. Barlow has given his inferentially, at least, by his withdrawal from the business while it was in progress and his refusal to have anything more to do with It, and William E. Chandler has given his in private and will, at the proper time, give it publlcly. 'There Is, ilheref,,r.., no earthly chance ,of rebuttal of these confelsloms be ccaluse there is nobxody to rebut them. They stand as eoimplr.etA and as irrefragable a mass of testimuony as ever was written or printed. In short, tIo all moral or equitable appearanc they settle the wise. In the face of them Mr. Hayes has no more Litle to the Presirdency in equity or in morals than he has to the st: k, flxtures and good will (of the I)MOCeIAT. But he has A TEV(I;HNI.AL TITE In law that Is good until the action of the rllectoral (ornmission is rwversed or nullified by the same power which gave it being. It ls settled and ,rxueded ,on all hands that no proess of evictio,n under existing statutes can have any force as against Hayes' tenure. THE QJUEITION IN THYE MINDS OP (.JONOBE. MEN is, therefore, what is the readiest method by which the nrwmled authority can be provided. One plan suggests adjudication of the whole question by the upremrne Court. Another looks to a regular investigataton by a joint cornit.tee of both Houses of Congress to find out and report the facts accompanledby such re.(rnmendations as may be deemed neo Mssaary. All agree that the first step is to get the facrt into the shape of official history to settle beyond cavil or peradventure of doubt the point that fraud was committed and that the fraud changed the result. This will not be difficult to do. But theeubsequent regulation of THIrE .'C('Es.ION is a matter of more intricacy. On this point various sugge..stions are ad vainced. One is to inaugurat, i'illden for the remrnainder of the term; another is for the SHena; t elect a presiding oflicer who shall take the presiden tial chair in cx,nstitut,mnal succession as Vice Presildent; another is for the House to elect; and annother is to pre,.-d to A NEW EI, ErroN this fall by the people for the unexpired term. I give these suggestions as part of the gS sip of the day. But, one thing seems to be a matter of common consent, or rapidly be (,rnirng so, and that is that Hayes can hardly hope to serve out the term of four years un molested. This may be dscribed as a grow ing sentiment which is rapidly crystallizing Ilnto a ftxedl con vlutioo. It seems now to be sort of ta.it understanding in general terms. but cannot be said to be d finite enough to suggest methods for the acco'mplishment of the end involved. T'hese- methrds are matters for subsequent xonsideration. At present it is sufficiint to say that nearly everybody re gards MIr. Hayes as a doomed man.
