HERE is what Vice-President Will
son has to say of the policy of General
Grant in relation TO the South. Ii is
an interview with the n. Y. CORES
pondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
(Rep.):
although a Massachusetts and a
New England man, and party man
in every sense of fidelity to my public
associates and the general policy we
begin to introduce, 1 am positive in
the belief that we must get white men,
born or bred in the South. 10 rule it.
and that State Governments OF negroes
and Il handful OF white men who alb
sorb the patronage. and are Republi-
cans for the sake of il, will not stand
up. Therefore oppose force bills, If
their objects are suspected of being
political and trifling with State Gov
ernments according as they stand in
the path OF a certain ambition Or cut
of it, ..,... t..
In regard to Grants change of front
on Arkansas, Mr.. Wilson said:
h. 81 think the third term had a good
deal TO do with it. Besides, | am told
that there arc railroad interests out
there to the amount of S5,000000 or
So ,OOO,0O0 at stake on the possession
of the State Government. If the Ar
kansas vote haa been taken first, and
the Forca Bill voted on afterward. the
Force Bill would not have passed Con-
gress." .''

A Change or Tune.


About year ago the Crusade was
in the full tide OF operation, and near
| ly all of the Republican papers of this
/ State gave it their Ell coulagement and
support. "a Among the journals that
endorsed the movement none was
more earnest than the Cleveland
/ Leude7..y But it has obtained new
| light on the subject, and a new song
has been put in its mouth. In re-
| cent issue it expresses its "seber sec
ond thought" after this manner: ir'1
The drift OF public sentiment is
unmistRkably against prohibitory liq-
uor legislation. Within the past mon th
| not less than four States have substi-
I tuted license for prslibitory laws.-
There has been no effort spared in
| these States TO make the license laws
as Intelligent and Judicious as possible
giving special privileges TO beer and
wines, and instituting strict regula-
tiehs for the detection and seiZiiig Of
spurious liquors. The tendency of
the times is, therefore, wholly against
the extremists. The Prohibition par
| ty has been only disturbing elem ent
in politics, and instead of gathering
strength and advancing rapidly to
power and influence, as did the anti
slavery party, it is already in decline.
Even im such States as Massachusetts
and Rhode Island, where the average
intelligence and sobricty among the
voters is as high rs anywhere i'll the
country, the. defeat of the one-idea
Prohibitionists has been most COM
pletc and irremcdiable. The teaching
of it all is that true wisdom lies in
the direction of regulating wisely and
intelligently all evil which seems in
herent in the nature of man, and
which no legislation can ever wholly
suppress"
Nearly the entire press of that par
ty now take the same position. What
can have wrought such a change OF
sentiment fin one short year? Then
they thought to use the temperance
excitement for party advantage, but
they were not slow in finding out
their mistake, and they have taken a
! new tack and think it is not the part
of prudence to dffcndlthe7 liquor in
Iiterests by giving encouragement to
the crusaders. The air will not be
made vocal during the coming cam
! paiyn with their wild howlings abou.
"whiskv drinking. beer guzzling Dem
ocrats," only in certain chosen locali-
ties. They don't think it prudent.
.Sing, oh sing that gentle strain again.

"Not since the days when John A.
Andrew sat in the Chief Magistrafe's
chair of Massachusetts, and when that
other Andrew was installed al IIarris-
burg, has this nation had SO many good
Governors as it now has. Tilden, of
New York Castor, of the Bay State ;
Allen, of Ohio Kemper, OF Virginia !;
and Hendricks, OF Indiana, constitute
q noble coterie."
The Springfield Republican Qnde-

than enc respect, the Democratic par
ty is certainly fortunate in its Cover
nOrs. We doubt whether it has any
debt which it owes them Tilden in

a Change of Sentiment.

A recent telegram from Washington
to the New York Tribune saws:
Judge VIM. ID, Kelley, of Pennsyl-
yania, returned from a six weeks
tour in the South to-day, and bears
most emphatic testimony against the
Southern policy of his own party in
the last Congress. When asked to-
night what he thought of the politi-
cal condition of the South, he used
these. words: "The vote | most re-
greet, during my Ia years service in
Congress, is that which / cast last
winter in favor of the Force BILL
lie further said that so far as his OBJ
servation went during his. extended
tour, there was no more necessity for
the. use of Federal military force than
there is in Pennsylvania or Ohio. He
talked with Confederate soldiers. with
Northern men, negroes, carpet-bag-
gers, and travellers, and he was sur
prised at the good feeling eXis ting.
He said he should, hereafter, take lit
lie stock i'll Southern outrages, espec :
tally if they are reported as occurring q
i'll the sections he visited. He gave an
example of the feeling existing in the
South by relating what he himself
saw i'll Auguata, being himself uu-
known. He happened to be in that
city Oh the day chosen for decorating
the graves OF the Confederate dead
He remained and observed CLOSELY
the proceedings. x long procession
marched through the city with en-
gines, civic organizations, Sc, it being
treated as general holiday. Judge
Kelley observed the significant fact
that, while men and women were
gathered tor the purpose of paving
tribute to the memory OF the dead
Conted crate soldiers, the principal
music on the occasion was furnished
by the band belonging to a popular
United States infantry regiment sta
toned in the vicinity. There were no
taunts, no insults, no complaints, no
appearance OF iii feeling anyw here
visible. While absent, Judge Kelley
spent from two days TO a week in each
of the following cities, stopping fire.
quently at places of less consequence,
viz: Richmond, Charleston, Colum-
bia, Sayannah, ackssnyille, Atlanta,
Augusta. and Aiken. The most OF the
time was spent in Florida. He saws.
80 far as he saw--and he went with
bis eyes and ears open-there was no
feeling of fear or distrust on the part
of the colored people. and he could
not, for the life of him see what use
there was for force bills. He was
very glad to have made the trip, for
it has enabled him TO understand the
condition of the South better than he
has ever understood it before"

In 1868 Judge Pirrrcpont gave 500.
600 to be expended by MIR. A. T.
Stewart in promoting the election oI
Gen. Grant.
In 1859, after the election. Don Ham.
ilton Fish gave $1,000 TO Gen. Grant
himself in the shape of 4 subscription
toward paying an eXtrayagant price
for a house which Grant wanted to
sell. Mr.. Fish was .hcreupon appoint
ed Secretary Of State; while Judge
Pierrepont, who in talents and learn
is much his superior, got nothing for
his $4,000 except al insulting sneer
from some of Grants staff, who said
that his subscription was sham, and
that some other man really paid the
money in his name. Any way, Pier
repent could not be appointed Attor-
Dey-General until 1875, and then only
in consequence OF Il Cabinet disrup-
ton.
This shows what serious disadvan-
tage there is in giving money to Il par
~ for public purposes as compared
with giving directly to the President
for his own profit; but such contrast
is peculiar to Grantism, and was never
known before in this coun;ry.-N. Y.

HAD Republican Legislature been
elected two years ago, instead OF q
Democratic one, according to the Re-
publican Auditor of State, no reduc-
lion would have been made in the
State Tax. and the people would have
been compelled to pay at the rate Of
50, ,577. $50 % each year. A Democrat
ic Legislature changed this, and in
stead of paying that sum, in 1874, they
only paid 81, ,S92,637 80, saving of
S474 GOO; and this year they will pay
S15S, 900 less, a saving over the Repub-
lican style, of S532. 900, or a net saving
in two years of S1,196,000. That is
not bad showing for Legislature
which the Republican press terms ex
trayagant. IT, The people approve of
this style of ertrGcagdnce they will
send another Dem ocratic Legislature
