The Presidents Southern polio,

=f.s III t-sfa =
A Washington special of the Doth
says;
Senator Harlan's paper, in its lead
ing editorial this morning, denies that
the policy of Grants second term will
be more liberal toward the South. He
says that for the President to now
change his policy would be a virtual
confession that the Republican party
heretofore has pursued an unwise and
unjust policy. He further says; ssThat
the President entertaips the kindliest
feelings toward the South, and would
have been governed by them had he
not received single vote from that
section, is an affirmation that may be
made everywhere with full assurance
of its truthfulness. Every message
he has delivered, every recommenda-
ton he has made, every utterance of
his official life, every expression he
has made in his intercourse with pub
lie men assures of his earnest desire
for the peace and prosperity of the
States devastated by the rebellion
We confidently anticipate that his
forthcoming message will renewedly
bear testimony of his desire for
Southern pacifcation."
If the the President, as is asserted,
entertains the kindllest feelings to-
wards the South, he certainly has a
very singular way of showing it. Is
it made manifest in his efforts to main
tain over that section set of Carpet
bag rulers to plunder the people and
eat out their substance? Does he ex-
hibit his affection in asking to be
clothed with the arbitrary power to
declare martial law, suspend the writ
of habeas corpus and hold them in
slayish subsection to his imperial will !?
The love he has hitherto manifested
towards the people of that section is
the love which the lion shows to the
lamb, and the vulture for the dove.
We had hoped for better things.

Death of Gen. Edward BAN.


AT GAINESVILLE, on the 22d inst, Gen..
Edward Ball, of that city, lost his life
by terrible accident. He was en-
gagged in loading cattle into a stock
car. at the railway, when his foot got
caught in the frog of switch. He
was attempting at the time to get out
of the way of an approaching loco
motive. He was unable to extricate
himself, and those who were near
him failed, for some reason, to assist
him. The engine struck him and
passed over him, mutflating him in a
terrible manner. He was instantly
killed. General Ball was one of our
.best-known citizens. He was at one
time Sergeant-at-Arms Of the National
House of Representative, and was a
member of the Ohio House of Rep
resentatives from Muskingum, in the
session of 1869.

Trouble in the Happy Family

A delegation from Pennsylvania,
headed by Cameron, Hartranft and
others, recently waited ON the Presi-
dent to induce him to appoint their
pet, named Truman, Postmaster,
for the City of Philadelphia, but
Grant didn't seem to see proper to ac-
cede to their demands, and informed
them that he did not see how it was
proper for him to set aside the rules
and regulations of the Civil Service
commission, and that a Mr.. Fairman,
who had been long time an employee
of the Philadelphia Posfoffice was, in
his opinion, fully competent to dis
charge the duties of Postmaster. And
now a Washington special says:
/" The very suggestion of Civil Ser
vice Reform has created lively alarm
among the Radical organs and politi-
clans, and it is already evident that
the rules of the Civil Service Com
mission are to be broken down if pos
sible. The Washington ChronScle,
referring to the Presidents action
upon the Philadelphia Post-ofice,
plainly intimated that such rules
would have to be amended. Fred.
Douglass paper, the National Era, is
still more emphatic. 1t says the effect
of the rules adopted by the President
will be to place the enemies of the
Republican party, and even avowed
rebels who are amnestied, on an equal
footing with the Republicans who had
helped to re-elect Grant; and it goes
on to complainof the Executive action
in respect to the Philadelphia Post
office. The National Republican,
speaking by authority, says that the
President, after much reflection, is
convinced that the competitive system
should not be readily enforced, If, in
deed he is not convinced that it should
not be entirely abolished. The idea
is that the applicant must be Repub-
lican.. and also possess a certain stand
ard of efficiency, but not to be deter
mined by the competitive method
The signs of the times are that the
Philadelphia case will not have many
parallels. or if SO that there will be a
row in the party" R'
The President will have to beware
how he snubs these highcocklorums
/ of Radicalism. If he continues to
manifest this spirit of independence,
and ignores the wishes of these Radi-
cal leaders, he will greatly endanger
the very existence of the party. and
call down upon his head the direst
vengeance. of its leaders. Let him
/ beware of the coming storm.4ah i.l
