Z WHAT A SPECTACLE the Democrats
present In their crazy howllngs about
fraud and corruption-the party whose
pabulum has been bull-dozing, murder,
intimidation, bribery, theft, seething
corruption, fraud the most glaring and
shameless, with every species OF vii
Iiany known to the garroter and high
wayman. And yet, with these crimes
clinginz like barnaclea to every part OF
the Democratic hulk, its crew has the
effrontery to raise their rascally voices
ia yawps Of fraud At The Republican
party, fer the reason alone-if they
pretended TO have auy-that high
toned honorable IEen, beyond then

shafts, refused TO prostitute themseive'

thing ATTEMPTED to be continued. The
real issues on which the late campaign |
were fought were continually before
the public, and were used A. the strong
est arguments which could he brought
to bear In influencing the public mind.
And now when the Administration
has fairly opened, and all the condi-
tions are favorable 10 its success. the
country cannot afford display OF
partisanship, which, if persisted in,
would inevitably lead TO conflict be-
tween the legislative and executive
power, and be so productive of distrust
and dissension.
That even if the present incipieDt
opposition should cease there will &C.
Icasionally spring up objections to other
matters which may be decided upon by
the President, is no more than VIII Int
need be looked for If the course
which he has apparently mapped out
for himself is TO be judged by present
| indications, it will curtail the power
of men who, by customand continuity,
almost consider it to be their right
to accept or reject, according to their
likes and dislikes. We can har,tlv,
looking at it from the ordinary stand
point. blame them, when the drift OF
current events shows that in the future
they may be compelled 10 make even
greater concessions. And although the
Ustensible cause of the opposition
hinges on that most perplexing ques-
ton, the government of the South,
there are no matters equally as grave
and important which will necessarily
| fellow in its wake. Removal from, re.
tention in and appointments to office
are all included in these things, and il
an executive officer is independent
enough tn name his Cabinet himself,
the inference is that if succ, -sSiul he
will only gather fresh strength foi
further continuing such new policy.
His expressed views on civil service
reform, 10th written and spoken, have
all led to the conclusion that he does
not look upon appointments merely as
senatorial or Congressional gifts, but
that they are TO be made and coutinued
with reference to fidelity, integrity and
capsbility. How far this can be carri-
ed out in its integrity it is, of course
difficult to foresee, but i'll his endeavOr;
to accomplish such result he should
not be hampered or confined.
II That a President cannot succeed
without the d of a party is an admit
ed truism; but. as We have already
said, this greatly depends upon wha
our definition of party is. Nor is ht
\ the only public official to whom thi
remark applies. The journals wbict
have advocated the claims of the Re
publican party, The merchants ant
business men who looked hopeful,
upon the coming OF the present Ah
minIstration, and who endorsed it
policy, will each look unfavorably upOI
ANY attempt to continue this struggle
and We doubt not hut that they will al
echo the words of the President on hi
Inauguration, "He serves his party bes
who serves the country ."-Balti
more American.

President Hayes Cabinet Con-
firUled.

WASHINGTON, March I0.-As soon
as the Senate went into executive ses-
sion, to-day, the various Cabinet nom
nations were in turn reported bach
froEl the committees, accompanied in
each case with d unanimous recOmmen
dation for confirmation. A motion
was then made to take up the nomina-
ton of David NJ. Key as Postmaster
General, for immediate action. A
single objection wonid have prevented
action upon it to-day, but to objection
was interposed, and the vote upon tn.
question of confirming was taken BY
yeas and nays, and resulted, ayes 81
nays 2,-the negative votes being cast
by Democrats. This vote seemed tc
he regarded as q test of the strength OF
the opposition of the remaining nomi-
nstions, and no further opposition was
made against any of them beyond de
mand for the FOIL call in, the cases OF
Schurz and Evnrts. The vote on
Schurz's nomination was A for confir-
nation and against. The vote on
Evarts' nomination was about the
same. Quite number uf Senators OF,
both sides abstained from voting. and
the few negative votes in each instance
were cast by Democrats, Senator Came
ron, of Pennsylvania, voted for Evsrts,
Schurz and Key, remarking his vote
for Evarts was under what he regarded
as the instructions of his committee,
the Foreign Relations, which had in
Structed him to report favorably. Mr..
,Conkling refrained from voting on his
nomination..
The nominations of George w. Nc
Crary to be Secretary of War, Richaru
w. Thompson 10 be Secre ary of the
Navy, and Charles Devens to be Attor-
ney General, were confirmed without
a rOll.call or even division.
The news of the confirmation was re-
ceived at the White House and at the
Executive Department rs soon as the
action of the Senate was taken, and
eIicited very satisfactory expressions
The President simply said he was very
glad of the prompt action.

The tone and temper of President

in all essential points foreshadowed by

would appear as if the. opposition now
being made was something tangible

strong as it may be in tradition and in.

will gladly welcome any honorable
policy likely to bring peace and pros

SOUTHERN srArE GOV.
ERNMENrS.
The President SaRguine That
This Problem Can be Salts
factorily Solved.

In conversation with member OF
Congress on the Louisiana and South
Carolina questions, the President said,
on Saturday, that in making up his
mind as TO the best course to pursue to
secure harmony in these States, he
should not allow himself to be embar-
rassed by the idea that he must do
nothing that would seem To affect in
juriously the validity of his own title
to Office. That matter, he thought, had
been anthoritativeiy and finally de-
cided. He did not believe that there
would be any disposition to hasgle
about his title If bis administration
commended itself by its acts to the
Judgment of the country. As soon as
the new Cabinet were fairly settled in
their positions, he should ask their
careful consideration of the situation in
The two States having conflicting gov
ernmeEts, and he was confident that,
with their aid, some method of solving
the problems presented would be found
which would be fair, and just, and sat
isfactory to the people Of those States.
Several ways out of the difficulty had
been considered by him, but he should
not adopt any method in hurry. OF
without much more deliberation thar
ne had as yet found time to give the
subject.
In all conversations which ibe Presi.
dent has held with prominent men OIL
this vexatious matter, he has expressed
the same confidence that there could
be found safe and honorable road out
of the troubles proceeding from a con-
dict of authority. At the same time he
has made it clear that the maintenance
OF the State government by the pres
eHce of the Federal army is repugnant
to his idea, and can no longer be toler
ated.-[ Washington Special to Cincin
