A HAPPY rHoUGHr.

We hadn'tthought of IL in that light,
but the Tribune has just made the dis.
cOvery that, while "ninc men out Of

Hayes should enter the White House

tie is the greatest Of national blessings
and is 70 restore the government to its
pristine purity and all sections l0 pros
perity and peace. Rendered into rather
plaiucr vcrnacnlar, the theory of the
Tribune is that Mr.. Hayes having be-
conc the recipient OF stolen goods, he
must cunciliatc the better elements of
both parties and sections because they
are they who will accuse bin of the
theft aud deprive his administration Of
the moral support that is essential 10
a successful President. Well, since
the rnbbory has been committed and
Mr.. Hayes is to bear its fruits TO the
highest sanctuary of power, the best
thing lie can do is TO atone as far as
possible by the perpetual apology that
u decent administration will offer for
the crime OF its creation; and If ii will
make honest men respect tho govern.
mcnt, so much good will be forged out
of the nest Of evil. But while conscrv.
alive citizens Of all parties and sections
may give a passive support to the ad.
minislraliOn that is TO signalsc It's adj
vent into power by discarding the
agents Of fraud who bore the crown to
Mr.. Hayes, what will the other fcl-
lows siy about in What will Mr..
Secretary Cameron say. who sent

aud navy to sustain any fraud, how
