Talking mp Hayesat Washington

Washington Correspondence Detroit News.
For the past few days, the people
about the Republican headquarters
here>have been busily talking up the
name of Hayes, of Ohio, and it is ss1d ,
with "A considerable degree of conf.
deDce, that the managers have resolv-
ed to use their influence in his behalf,
and that missionaries, have been sent
out over the country to convert the
Blaine men to the new gosple, and
labor particularly with the Blaine dele
gates in order to induce them to vote
Tor Hayes, and thus defeat Bristow.
This aspect of the Presidential question
receives new significance since-thecap-
ture Of the Ohio Democracy hy old Bill
Allen and the infiationists, and the con-
sequent almost certainty of the Repub-
licans carrying that State with Ha, es

A LOUD voice for Mr.. Blaine comes
from the Independent of last week. 1t
says careful survey of the field shows
that Mr.. Blaine has no equal in popu.
lar strength that the only possibility
OF his defeat in the convention is the
combination of all the other candidates
against him; that no Republican ia the
country has more universally COM
manded the confidence and esteem of
the party; that he has not been so al
lied with the errors of the Admiaistra-
tion as to make him their apologist;
that he has executive abilities of the
highest order, and an experience in
public life which has made him fami-
liar with governmental affairs; that all
EattemptS 10 asSail his character have
been futile; that there is not single
Republican in the entire country who
is so well qualified as he for the task of
representing to the country the prin-
ciples of his party, and at the same
time preserving the party'S harmony.
Hence, The independent concludes {:
1--WE are, of course, indicating by these
remarks our decided preference for Mr..
Blaine, over every other name that has
been mentioned. We.believe that his
nomination would be accepted by the
Republican | arty as furnishing very
hopeful assurance Of success, and, in
the event of his election, Il reliable
gu aranty of good government.

The Bloody Shirt.

The Independent and the Democrat
ic press have another opportunity to
howl about the "bloody shirt" II
they will go to West Feliciana parish,
Louisianas or Wilkinson county,
Mississippi, they can find somewhere
between twenty and hundred
s'bloody shirts" enwrapping the bodies
of that many colored Republicans
assassinated because they wero colored
and Republicans, and for no other
reason. Let them take these "bloody
shiris'' and hold them up for the peo
pie of the United States to gaze on.

THE National Rag-Money Conven-
ton, which met at indianapolis on
Wednesday, put up Presidential
ticket bearing the names of Peter
Cooper and Senator Booth, adopted
a ridiculous but harmless platform,
and then adjourned. There does not
appear to have been sufficient stock
of enthusiasm on hand to carry out the
notion of adjourning to Philadelphia
and issuing from there, on the Fourth
Of July, ga new Declaration of Inde-
pendence. The Convention was not
remarkable for its numbers nor the
strength of its constituency. Some fif-
teen States were represented by dele.
gates, authorized and unauthorized,
and they did not find so much work on
their hands that they could not easily
get through with it in two days. The
platform of the Convention is about on
a par with that uf the Ohio Democrats
-haZy notions of patent interconvert-
ible bond and currency system, under
which the Government shall issue an
amount of paper money" limited only
by those indefinable boundaries, "the
needs of the country" being mixed up
with other not ingenious devices for
abolishing the coin standard and insti-
tuting such comfortable condition of
affairs as prevailed in the Southern
Confederacy when the war was draw
ing to close. As the platform squints
towards the usual denunciation of the
"money power" the nomination of a
Presidential candidate who counts his
wealth by millions has somewhat the
appearance Of inconsistency. Mr..
Cooper may, however, be the most ap-
propriate nominee, for he is probably
the only man in the United States
having earned a great fortune by hon.
est industry who has faith in Gov
ernment currency not based strictly on
gold valuations.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 20, 1876.
The depressing effects of President
Grants humiliating rebuke and Daven-
ports victory over Caultield'S Commit
tee, have been intensified during The
week by the intelligence reaching us
from the South of the Democratic mUr-
derS and afro cities committed in Lou
isiana aud Missouri; by the diScour-
aging prospects Of d Democratic diver
sion through the efforts of the disap-
pointed and sore head politicians, re-
Gently gathered in New York in a
political conference; by the intatuation
of their Ohio friends in thrusLing into
the canvass the rejected rag money
hereSy, and by their failure to connect
MIR. Blaine with the transfer of the Ar
kansas railroad bonds to the Union
Pacific railroad company. They are
still further dishesrtened by the mani
fest hostility of providence towards
them by the cutting down in the vigor
of his usefulness to the party, one of
stauDch supporters, 'Reddy,' the black
smith. The startling intelligence of
the shooting and hanging of negroes by
the White Liners and Ku-KIux has
produced profound impression
and we are glad 10 say that it
is as earnestly depl0red by some of
the Democrats here as by the Republi-
cans, and it is pretty generally con-
cedefi that the party that attempts to
apologize for the savages guilty of such
crluIeS, or that attempts TO shield them
from the punishment due for such
butcheries, will go down before a
whirlwind of public Indignation and
scorn beyond all hope Of resuscitation.
An indulgence in the stale Democratic
cry of waving the bloody shirt" in
view of the revival of this Southern
Democratic pastime would be clearly
ill-timed. We find none with sufficient
hardihood to deny the essential facts.
The majority report of the commit.
tee that investigated the affairs of the
Freedmen's bank has been laid before
the House. There is no doubt that
some of the men who were connected
with that unfortunate institution and
who occupied places of great response
bility, did plunder it without shame or
remOrse, and are deserving of all the
punishment that outraged laws can in
hnt But tho report Is SO manifestly |
unjust to some in its censures and
withal so bitterly partisan in lis scope
and bearing as to largely modify the
Importance that would otherwise at
tach to it.

The Ohio Escapndc.

The Ohio Democratic State Conpen-I
ton seems to have made vigorous ef-
fort to kick over the Democratic buck
let on the eve of the Presidential cleo
ton. Rule or ruin apIelrs 10 be the
motto of the faction with cotrolled
that Convention. The same marplots
who succeeded in 1868 in constructing
such a political platform for The Demo
cratic party as enabled its opponents to
interpret it as disloyal attac upon
the credit of the Government are again
at work. to disorganiZe and demoralize
their own allies ON the eve of an impOr-
tant Presidential contest. The venera-
BILE Democrat, William Alien, is resur-
rected to lead this suicidal movement
and falsify all the principles he stood
mp for in his distinguished and earlir
public Baltimore Sun (Deln.)
May 10.
The Democratic Convention at Gin
cinnati yesterday adopted declaration
of financial principals embOdyiDg the
contradictory heresies which secure d
the defeat of the Democratic party in
that State last year, AMI resolved to
present to the National Presidential
Convention at St. Louis the mar
William Allen, who was last year re-
mitted, by that defeat, to privaio-ii'e.
The country to-day will be left in some
doubt, perhaps, whether the local pol; :
ticians of Cincinnati who accomplished
this brilliant result Were more eager TO
prevent the adoption, by the st. Louis
Convention, of a Democratic candidate
from Ohio, or to secure the adoption
by the Cincinnati Convention of Re-
publican candidate from Ohio. They
have pretty certainly accomplished the
first OF these objects, and they have
done more than had been previously
d )ne by any and all political forces TO
ac .on plish the second Of these objects.
The Republican leaders will be strong
ly tempted by yesterdays events to
make determined effort at swelling
their already probable majority at the
October electious in Ohio, by nOmina-
ting Gen. Hayes for the Presidential
conflict in November. New York
