The feeling in d. mo.ratic circles over
the news Of the deterInin ation OF the Pres-
jdeut TO send a commission TO this STATE
was very bitter last night, as there was 100
strong a SAVIOR of compromise. The Presi-
dent OWES his seat TO the refusal of South-
ern men.b rs 10 join in the filibusicr.ng
which so nearly defeated the electoral
count. Ii he surrendrrs now to the Morton
and Blaine wirg of his party he will unite
the South against him, aud will place nun
snlfin antagoaism to those better KepuOH-
can dement's represented in his own Caol-
net by Schufz and Evarts-
The latest indications are that the COM
mission proposition meets with all but UNI
vefsar diSfavor.

We have thought all along that there was
some understa nding with the President 10
tie effect that lie would Withdraw me
troops from the South. We have thought
that his counting in" would have been DC
feated but Tor ;hi4. Ii there was such an
understanding the President is acting IN
very bad faith, and the appointment OF TINS
commission will go far TO destI oy the good
te, ling that he was creating for himself IN
the South.
Formonths we have had no end of ''as-
surances," that the troops would be with
drawn from this unhappy and wretehedly
mi,ooverned S;a.e. Every day these as
surances were rene wed, and every promi-
nrnt Louisianan who came home from
Washir gton assured the loDg-sntlering,
patient people, that If they would wait yet
a | tile while longer all would be well. And
this is the end of it all.

We have had compromises, committees,
electoral tribunals, returning boards, all
undes, and other similar nui>ances, but now
we are TO stand the brunt of IA 'Southern
Commission" What that may be, nobody
can tell, and it is to be presumed that no.
body will ever he able to tell, even when
the thing comes %. The question is,
s'YLat will we do about -

Hayes is backing and filling in his
Southern policy. II is idle to expect that
he will accomplish anything OF real benefit
10 the South, handicapped as he Is with
fraud and holding the Presidency by the
same sort of title that Packard and Cham
bcrlain hold their Governorsh!ps.
Philadelphia Times, (Ind.)
The conclusion yesterday reached by the
President and his advisers in regard to the
8 Duthern question, will call tor the loud ex-
pressions of disappointment and disgust .
The projected commission implies delay, of
which both parties are impatient. 1t keeps
open the question of equity an / fact which
both consider settled.

1.-The Southern Question" is getting to be
tangled up about as much as the Presiden-
tial question was. 1t is now intimated that
Hayes is deficient in the matter of back
bone.

An opinion is gaining ground that during
the Presidential crisis Mr.. Hayes brokers
sold "short'' on Louisiana State govern
ment, and now that the bargain has been

St. Louis Republican.
1t woul1 have been infinitely better for
the country if Hayes had never held out tie
prospect of IL conservative policy. The dis
app ointment which his present course will
produce must necessarily destroy public
in him and his administration,
aud that confidence is not likely to be re-
stored.

The scheme proposed after days of incu-
baton by President Hayes for settling the
aft irs of Louisiana will be greeted with
general terlslDn and disgust.

Mob ,dy need be told at this day that
Committee, or Commission, to Louisiana, to
gain know ledge of the political situation, is
a fore runner OF some political villainy.

The fools who have been landing HAYES
southern Policy" with no definite assur-
lnce what it would be, are sorely dsap-
pointed. 1t is sail Hayes has been prac-
icing duplicity-taking one way TO ID mo
;rats AMI another to carpet baggers.

What hope can we draw from-or use
rave we for such political nondescript.
We should support him in all that he does
hat is right-but let us meyer forget that he
5 a fraud, cheat, swindler, and that he
; now gently confessed of treason against
