lfRoM ANoCCAsIoyAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRDcSEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Tbcre is good deal of
what may be- termed concern felt here over the po-
litcal agitatons of the period There Is a wide
spread feeling that the Government is bent upon
promoting and aggravating dangerous sectional ami
mosities for party and personal Objects instead OF
honestly dscharging its duty in trying to compose
them The question asked and often anXiOusly pro-
pounded is what 10 to be done, what ought TO be
done to avert the consequences of such poiicyf 1t
cndangers the public peace, and it portcnds ruin to
the party in power.
Well President Grants Arkansas message tends to
the belief that further Outragcs will be practiccd
the South the precise effects of which it is difficult
to estimate BIT have no doubt that the prospect
of relief, coming through probable change OF ad-
ministration will tend to abate some threatening
features of the situation, and that the nation may
thus tide over difficulties when might otherwise
present very grave aspects. As to party dangers.
suppose they to bo regarded rather in the past
tense. The chances Of Republican success in the
future are very much spoiled already and fresh ex-
perimepts on the public patience can hardly make
them worse.
More and more do suspect that this feeling on
rhc part of moderate Republicans is what renders
many of them indifferent to any serious apd com
bined effort to arrest the downward course OF things.
They seem to argue that affairs going rapidly TO
the bad any way. and whether that tendency is ac-
CELEBRATED or retarded little males no difference IN
the final result In fact. they would rather, OIL the
whole. have President Grants discontinue complete
than partial. If he chOosos to sit on the safety
valve they arc disposed not to modest him.
IL is from this point Of view that do not share
the anxiety felt by the many well-meaning Repub-
