politicians The people calm and quiet, prefering TO
await the perpetston OF fraud before getting in urore
about it,
Gen. James NJ. Comfy steps forward now
between Gov Hayes and Col. Roberts In published
card he says 1T simply impossible in interview
of the nature OF that between Gov. Hayes and Col.
Roberts that Col Roberts should have asked, Gov
Hayes should have expsessed any opinion whatever as
to the personal character Of the friends of either in the
SOuth. Gov Hayes did Lot say one word, nor was he
asked to say word, about cutting loose from Grantm

The Nations two plans for the solution of
the Presidential problem do not meet with overwheln
ing success. Prof Lowell rather barshly says OF one
that no honest man could entertain it for a moment.
The second proposition, which was request 10 GOV
Hayes TO refuse to accept the office before he knew ne
would secure IT, have stirred up the wrath OF
Mr. Halstead of The Cincinnati Commercial for he at
taeks 1t length saying other sharp things
Now architect OF this edce of nsOlence has never
once had it his mind to ask Mr. Tiden whether ne Is
not ashamed TO accept the Presidency from the hands OF
the inhabitants of baunts Of crime in New-fork There
is no pathetic cry Mr. Tden opause before he ruhes
into an office rendered him, the coated statistics
of The Nation show by the Ignorant the Vicious the re-
beious and the dishonest; for without the swarmhg
inhabitants OF the worst quarters OF New-fork where
Boss Tweed rallied his grand army, that state would
have been for Hayes by 10000 majority There
Is no alarming shrek to the Governor OF New
York to beware of Presidency that he Will TO the

arguments employed effectively in Mississippi and Ala

the voice OF the conservative whangdoode Is not heard
in that part of the land The editor of ne Nation does
daudle the Mississippi plan before him on silver
oyster fork and tell him that is so bloody and shame
flI that even an rO-cad old lawyer must not allow
himself to be tempted thereby But there is awful
falntheartedne and tenderness OF toes about te ac
ceptance of the louisiana vote by Hayes
Mr. Redtield hes been devoting himself to
perusa of the evidence of intimidation accumulated in
Newt and he thus serves up his conclusions in
letter To The Cincinnati Commercial: 1.-THE Republi-
cans are still taking testimony the Cusomhouse, and
sustaining the charge OF murder and intimidation In
the five buldOzed parishes by overwhelming mass OF
testimony. They have two thousand pages OF
original testimony. Some OF 1t is weak but most OF 1t is
strong In nearly every instance names. dates, details
and specifications given with such minuteness that
the stories can refuted not true An IL those who
are reported having been murdered still alive.
where are theyl If the Democrats can refute these
stories by bringing alive any of those reported as dead
it would be the best kind of evidence, but notice there
has been such instance. The whole mass OF sworn
testimony is denounced lot Of Radical lies and all
that thing but there is refuaon as strong In
specifications and details the charges What con-
ynces inc that the most Of these sworn statements are
true the fact that they contain such mass OF details
and specifications. 1t is the best kind of evidence, be-
cause II not true il can easily overthrown. II
colorcd man that he whipped, and does not
tell when it was or where it was why IT was or who
did it, anything about 1t, except the mere fact MS
statement would not be worth serious consideration
But when he the upon his back and swears
as to the night and the hour Of the night and who was
present, and who did it, and what they said; and all
about then his statement Is worthy OF consideration
and we are bound believe him 'un II the contrary IL

binary run Of 'Outfagcs which I'LL the partis"l press
for have known a good many OF them to fal trough

here that stands fire amazingly The trouble with the
most of il that 10 is And II any here gwen s re-
futed in as clrcumstantal and direct manner as II y
given. shall make haste TO send said refutaton along.
