HAYsES' SOUTHERN POLICY
DISARMAMENT OF the Republican
Party.
Atlanta Independent

H. V. Redield the famous cores
pondent of the Cincincinati CONNER
cial. was the first prominent writes
in an influential Northern journal, to
positively assert that the only way
to peace and prosperity in tbs
Southern States was to Withdraw
the support and protection by the
General Government from all pollti
cal parties. which action would re
sult'in local government by those
superior in intelligence. and in the
protection Of the ignorant, simple
minded colored voters,
While this course resulted in
throwing out of Office obnoxious car
pet-baggers and native scalawags. it
really did them a positive favor, for
they certainly can pick up an honest
living and secure the respect of in
teiligent, influential people, if they
use the exertion necessary; while
had they been continued in office,
by the power of the bayonet. against
the wishes of the intelligent people,
the very avenues to their offices
would be guarded to protect them
from the indignant populace; they
would be constantly scorned, des.
pissed, and in danger. What man.
Notwithstanding his greed for office.

tected from the haired OF an outrag-
ed people? Who would be Cover
nor of South Carolina and have to
take a file of Ma tional soldiers when
he made railroad Journey Who
would be Governor Of Louisiana and
have to ride through the streets
of the capital protected by caval-
ry?
But the relief given to carpet-bag-
gers and scalawags by this course
is nothing, for they could have Sc
cured relief at any time by their
own action. The act of President
Hayes, in withdrawing the protec-
lion. by The General Government,

TUESDAY MORNING, Jan. 90
Oakland, California.
So the transcontinental tour is al
most ended-our journey will soon
be over. Although l have enjoyed
it all | shall not be sorry that it
ends, for am beginning to feel
travel-weary and shall be glad to lie
down with no sound Of shrieking en-
gine in my ears. and undisturbed by
the dread command. Change cars 70
Here, at which is to
San Francisco what Brooklyn is to
New York-we leave the cars, and
cross over the San Francisco Bay TO
the city.
San Francisco seen through the
fog of a January morning looks
somewhat gloomy, although. even in
this poor light the richness aud
beauty of the city are dimly visible.
There is mud, mud everywhere.
Such mud as | have never seen be-
fore-both sloppy and deep. Yet
the mud and fog combined cannot
steal the beauty from the green
grass, nor the sweetness from the
flowers which are blooming all
around. Surley Summer has drop
ped her mantle upon this favored
land, and had not the hardihood to
remove the verdant covering. Last
night we were in the midst of snow
clad mountains, this morning we be-
hold grassy lawns, where the flowers
fearlessly lift UP their heads aud
bloom
After a quick drive across the
city, during which we are far 900
much excited to see anything, we
reach the hotel where our friends,
whom we have not seen for twelve
month, are awaiting US. The car
riage stops-one eager glance with
out to see the loving faces full of
welcome-there is clasping of hands,
glad greetings from lips we love,
and, happy and unframed our jour
ney is ended.

SITTING BULBS PRISONER.
ASurviYOr of the Custer Massacre
Becomes an Indian Chief.
Washington Cor. Boston Herald.

The commission which was sent to
Sitting Ball made an important dis
covery in the fact that the warrior
has in his camp white prisoner
captured at the Custer massacre.
Before reaching Fort Walsh rumors
reached the commission that Sitting
Bull held some of Clusters men as
prisoners, and after the first confer
ence one of the half.breed interpre>
ters, employed by General Terry,
visited the camp, and while going
through was hailed by person
dressed and painted as a a chief,
who said his name was Martin Ryan,
who was corporal in Company l.
Seventh Cavalry, Colonel Keough's
company, and had been taken a
prisoner at the Little Big Horn
with Custer. Inquiry apparently
substantiated his assertion, and the
following facts were ascertained
Ryan's life had been spared by Sit
ting Bull himself, who adopted him
into his own family. Ryan made
several attempts to escape. but be-
ing carefully guarded was unsuc-
cessful, and on each occasion he
was severely beaten. He has now
apparently accepted the situation.
and Sitting Bull has made him war
chief. and married Ryan to one of
his daughters. Ryan has let his
hair grow long in Indian fashion,
dresses as aR Indian, and is known
by the Sioux as the White Chief
Upon the return of the commits
sion to st. Paul, General Terry
caused the muster rolls of Company
|, Seventh Cavalry, to be examined,
and found that Martin Ryan's
name is borne as corporal, and that
he was present for duty when his
command went into that fatal action
of June 25, 1875. It was stated by
the friendly Indians that there are
several others of Clusters men pris-
oners in Sitting Bulls camp, but
Ryan's case was the only one which
was verified. Sitting Bull was ask
ed the question direct by General
Corbin. if he took any prisoners of
the Seventh Cavalry, and answered
fatty, "That is nene of your busi-
ness" Sitting Bull talked consider
ably about the battle with Custer,
aud all he said fully confirmed the
conclusion arrived at by General |
Terry last year when he examined /
the ground just after the battle. He
said that at first he thought General
Terry's whole army was upon him,
and he had moved his women and
property about four miles in retreat,
when he received information from
MS scouts that it was only the Sew
snth Cavalry and Long Hair Gus
,er), and that they were divided and
Reno had already retreated. He
says he then took 1000 warrors and
vent back aud moved down on Gus
.er in a solid mass and ended the
ight right there. He says that
Long Hair was one of the very last
Town, and that the Indians shouted
md made eigns to him to surrender,
)ut he would not, aud about the last

hat if he had captured Custar he

his mind that he did not wish to live to
be more than 80 years old. As he ap-
preached his eightieth birthday he found
that he was not likely to die natural
death within the allotted time, for his
health was good So he prepared for
suicide, settling up his business and
making = will. On the day he was 80
years old he jumped into river and was

Appealing from the Judges to tho
Pa0Neo.

Having from the first strenuously pro-
tested against the electoral surrender-bill as
unconstitutional i'm principle and suicidal
in policy, 1t would be sheer affectation in US
now to pretend to be disturbed at the posi-
bility OF the final failure and miscarriage of
the whole business. The act OF 1892, fortu-
nately, provides for the contingency, hap
penipg from any cause, of q vacancy in
the Offices OF both the President and
Vice President, and the worst possible
effect OF failure to conclude the electoral
count by the 4th OF March would be the
necessity OF new election by the people
nine months hence. In the mean time the
president OF the Senate, whoever he may
be, would administer the Government, and
il the interval before an election can be
held should be thought too long it can be
shortened by the passage OF Mr.. David
Dudley Fields bill; if not by this, by the
next Congress promptly convened for the
purpose. This would only be carrying out
substantially General Grants suggestion OF
a neW election in the spring, the President
elect to be inaugllrated on the 18th OF July.
We can see nothing Mt all alarming or in
convenient in this. Having declined our
selves to be frightened by the silly phan-
tom Of civil war coniured up by the speech
makers to heighten the effect Of their pero-
rations and excuse the surrender by the
houses Of their constitutional duty to count
the votes and declare the result, we cannot
imagine anybody's blood being curdled
or hair made to stand on end at the suS-
gcstion OF 4 peaceful appeal to the people
ut the ballot-boX. It is precisely what
would be done in England or France, or
under any constitutional monarchy in Eu-
rope, in crisis like the present. There
would be ministerial interregnum and an
appeal to the country. It is only American
politicians who seem to fear and distrust
the people, and aim to govern without
them.
We see no reason for haste, therefore, on
the part OF any Democrat to put the Radl-
Gals in possession OF their booty-thc presi-
dcncy which they have stolen. Although,
according to the Radical Eight, fraud does
not vitiate the certificate OF q Governor or the
action OF returning board, there is still an
old-fashioned idea that it does put an end to
the obligation of contracts between man and
man. While we cannot concede the right
OF the representatives OF the people to sur
render any OF the constitutional rights Of
the people or OF the House, or to enter into
any bargain or compromise upon the sub
iect. such duplicity as Judge Edmunds
stands convicted Of in relation to the cleo
toral bill, or as Mr.. Hewitt charged home
in the House on Saturday upon Judge Hoar,
would seem to absolve every Democrat who
voted for the bill from any obligation to
stand by the res ult.- Washington Union.

Morton and Sherman appear at present to

AND A sHAKE-HANDS ALL AROUND.
CISCINNATI, February GA special dis
patch from Fremont to the Gazette says
Governor Hayes arrived there unexpectedly
last evening, and an impromptu reception
was given him. He was introduced by
General Buckland, who said:
Friends, have the pleasure Of introdu-
cling our President-elect, as we believe.
Governor Hayes said:
Friends and Neighbors,- manner in
which I am introduced makes it rather easy
for me to speak without much embarrass-
ment, but we had better stick to the old title
until we are sure of something new. In
these times OF uncertainty we are often dis
appointed. The good news Of to-day is
often dispeled by the bad news Of to-mor-
row. During the few months since the It'll
OF November / have Schooled myself so as
not to be very much down nor very much
up, but to try to keep as near the even line
as possible. This kindly meeting this eve
ming do not take so much "a honoring me
as congratulation upon the manner in
which the strange and peculiar question is
now being settled. No other country in the
world could have endured such struggle

two or three years l will attend the next
Pioneer meeting, and bring bundle Of
letters and notes, many Of which ! am con-
stantly receiving, such as curiously-drawn
sketches of knives, daggers, and revolvers.
But have not lost much sleep from any
OF them yet. One Of the most amusing was
received this week. 1t was knife about
two feet long, one edge hacked like saw,
probably for saving the bone; the other
side for cutting the flesh. This was wrap
ped in several thicknesses Of paper, and in
side was note, as follows:
"This is the knife which the editor OF
the CAPITAL was to assassinate you with as
you went from the White House to the Cap
itol. 1t was taken from his pants leg while
he was asleep"
Well, friends, 7 think have talked long
enough as am in the business OF shak-
