The T'rae Muyymrlmrms ef aEhs
EEayes pelicy

The declaration of Mrr Hayes IN his
. conference with the Committee of Sen.
ate Republicans hat what i called his
'spolicY" was prompted by the hope Of
winning over to the Republican party
half of the Southern States, have disen-
chanted some or the Democratic politi-
clans who had set his Administration up
as an idol to be worshipped and an em-
bOdiment Of virtue and patriotism. The
modern patriot and christian philosopher,
was developed after all, into ''heathen
Chinee" with his characteristic smile,
'schild ike and bland A Washington
correspondent thus describes the address
of the President to his inquisitors:
The President explained at considerable
length his Southern policy. and was en-
| thusiastic over IL He was convinced thar
Il would ccnciliate. stimulate, energfze and
vitaliZe the Republican party: that under
| this policy, IN 1880 through elements of
disintegratiou now at work in con seq uence
Of IL in the Democratic ranks, il would be
possible 10 carry tor the Republicans North
Carolina Florida, Tennessee. Alabama and
possibly Georgia. II any Of the committee
expected that The President was inclined to |
abandon the Republican party and To seek
an alliance with Democrats, they left the |
white House thoroughly dissbased of this |
m Isl axe. They were convinced that the |
Pre- ident was as strong a Republican as |
any Senator can be, and as much opposed to |
the appointment of any unreconstructed /
Democrat.
What was designed to be a cunning
stroke Of ''party policy" will fail of it's
purpose. In scheming to break up the
Democratic party in the South and re-
cruit the Republican party from it's
ranks, Mr.. Hayes has reckoned without
his host: but his confession of motive
has served to reveal the tricky politician.
Even the New York Herald which has
stood by his Administration with the
zeal Of partisan, has been disguised by
the exhibition which the President has
made of himself and chides him with
having degenerated into mere machine
politician after all:
Ii the President is correctly reported he Il
loes not differ from the machine pol iii o
ians In principle, but only in methods. v
ike them he thinks it legitim ate to employ /
In
'arty success, and he differs from them u
My in thinking that an occasional Demo- u
rattle appointment in the South tends to N
isrupt the Democratic party o; that Sec ii
on. But when he has so far retreated ;:
rom his proclaimed intention TO conduct

pies" as to declare that he is aiming to al
Mid up political party, the machine pol. dl
icians may safely trust to time to make 10
: perfect agreement with them in princi- :
e aud agreement in practice. In YIELD

and the amendment providing for bien-
NAL sessions of the Legislature was
adopted by s, lS6 majority. The aver
age vote is calculated as required by Sec
ton ~ of the act which became a law
by Limitation January 10th, 1876. No
returns have been received from Bolivar
county, and those from Chickasaw,
Leake and Newton counties were not
certified to. when these re-
turns are received and properly made
nut they may change the result as to the
amendment upon the Office of Lieuten

HE Democratic members of Con-
gress seem deficient in leadership and
unity. Upon the principal measures of
the session they have been divided
among themselves. The army reduction
proposition failed, and the military rings
and r al leaders obtained a complete
vict !, by reason of Democratic division
and aPosHcy. Upon the financial bills,
Mr.. Hewett, of New York, who betray
ed his party in the Presidential contest
and who was forced by public indigna-
ton to resign the Craftsmanship of the
National Executive Committee, has al
lied himself with the Republicans, and
has been followed by others who were
elected as Democrats, into the camp of
the bond ringers as against the people. |
In making estimates of Democrat |
&c strength and the prospects of the
party, liberal discount must be made
for politicians who will be attracted bv
the glare and glitter of federal power

We have copied on our first page full
statement of the high-handed seizure of
logs and timber and the stoppage of bust
ness of the lumber mills in our coast
counties, by U. S. agents under pretext
of seizing timber belonging to the United
States. That this interference with pri-
vate property was illegal is manifest
from the clause in the Constitution which
declares that 'the people shall be sure in
g their persons, houses. papers and
" effects against unwarranted seizures
- and searches" In this instance, the
seizure was indiscriminate and the injury
to private rights would have been meal
culable but for the prompt decision OF
Judge Hill releasing the property.
