According to advices from Philadelphia,

According to advices from Philadelphia,
Mr.. HAYES has after all been taking advice
from the friends OF Grantism there about bis
letter Of acceptance. We don't know OF any
other letter Of acceptance that ever cost any
other candidate rs much labor as this one has
cost Mr.. HAYES. He ought to adver-
tise for sealed proposals containing a
proper model for his use-a model war
ranted to please all concerned. 1t would
save him from further consultation, and relieve
him from taking the volumes OF advice be has
been getting. Dt. PREroRIUs Of the ST. Louis
Poet says that hc knows what the main points
Of the letter are, and that they are perfectly
satisfactory to him. We must suppose, there
fore. that Mr.. HAYES has been taking counsel
on tho subject out at st. Louis, as well as at
other places. The Cincinnati candidate will
surely feel asense OF relief when he gets oyor
the hard labor Of writing the letter of accept
anCe.

unjust and wrong, CUSTER was In the reg
ular army. a professional soldier, and he
undoubtedly considered himself perform
ing duty.
Again, while the trouble with the In
dams has resulted principally from the
frauds practised on Them by the whites, II
cannot be said that Gen. CUSTER had lot
done what he could TO put an end to these
frauds More recently he had done much
and suffered much TO correct the malprac-
tees of the post traders toward our own
soldiers. He had dared 10 give straight
forward testimony Of facts which did not
commend him TO the authorities at Wash
ington. Had the command Of the expedi-
ton been intrusted to him, rs IL ought to
have been, very likely this disastrous de-
feat might have been turned to victory.
We trust that no compunctious visitings
Of conscience disturb the sleep OF the oc-
oupant of the White House Tonight; and
that he is not saying in VAN, " Down." TO
the spectre of the CORY and mangled young
General he recently wronged and insulted.
