A gentleman who came down from
Lexington on Saturday was asked
how times were in that section. He
said: "About all I have heard OF
lately is joke on an editor, who, go-
ing away, left his paper in charge of
q minister. During the minister's
stay in the sanctum the following let
ter came from mountain subscri-
ber:

subscription to your paper the last

more such letters from you as re-

"The minister answered:
"T have been trying to maui that
thing out of the editor for ten years
past, and if you will really come down
and maui it out of him, then, my dear
sir, have twenty members of my
church ! will also get you to operate

Tho South and Hayes.

The southern members who arc
coming in talk freely concerning the
President and his course, but hardly
in way to suit the friends of the adj
ministration. They praise the con-
duct and purposes of President Hayes,
and say that he is doing a great deal
toward q complete pacitication of the
country and the removal of sectional
feeling, but at the same time they do
not lose sight for a moment of the fact
that President Hayes was not really
elected, and that the party which
forced him into power, although he
did not originally receive a majority
of the popular or electoral votes, must
be driven out of power in 1880. One
of the most intelligent of southern
democrats, Mr.. Singleton, of Missis-
sippi, says he has been much among
the southern people, and that the feel
ing in favor of sticking to the demo-
cratic party, and banishing the repub-
licans from the control of the govern
ment, is universal, and that nothing
that Mr.. Hayes can do will diminish
it. He says that this will surely be
the great issue in the next Presiden-
tial campaign, and that the South will
vote solidly for the democratic candi-
date for President. The Southern
people generally, while recognizing
the excellence of the motives Of Pres
idcnt Hayes, think that he had really
little choice in the matter Of dealing
with the South, and that he has been
obliged to do what he has done. 1t
would make no difference if Hayes
were to carry out democratic ideas
from this time till the end Of his ad-
ministration, the South would vote
against the republican candidate all
the came when the next election il
held. Mr.. Singleton says that the
Legislation necessary to render anoth-

WASHINGTON, Oct. l0.A-The object
of the visit to this city of Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, who arrived
here few days ago, is tho subject of
much speculation in political circles.
1t can be stated, however, as fact,
that Mr.. Toombs stopped here by
way of pleasure only, on his way
from Baltimore, where he had been
to consult, AN eminent oculist concern
ing his now defective eyesight. Du-
ring his visit here he stopped with
Hon. Alex. III. Stevens, at the Nation,
al hotel, and in company with that,
gentleman called on President Hayes
on yesterday, and expressed himself
as heartily i'll accord with his admin
istration. Considering Mr.. Toombs'
extreme southern political principles,
his visit to the President is regarded
as matter. of peculiar interest, evinc-
ing as it does the unqualified indorse-
ment of the policy of the administers
tion by even the bitterest secession-
lists. Mr., Toombs left for Georgia
this morning.
