HAYES Is to Ice put INTO the White House,

popular vote. makes new schemes necessary

lignation. and. if possible, To- conciliatc the
States which have suffered most direct
~ by the iniquitou- action Of the Flee
tonl Commission. Hence, efforts have
been recently made to win over Il
portion Of the South by liberal prone
i~cs and professions Of goodwill toward
that section. But the stories that LAMAR,
HANCOCK. and other leading southern men
have entertained oycrturc-. or in any way
have sanctioned the use of their names in
such Il connection, are, as we have reason to
believe. silly fabrications.
Peace and honest home rule are. Of course,
first considerations with the South. which
for twelve years has been agtated with
strife a. Il prctcxt for keeping up the afro
rious system OF robbery and outrage which
has been inflicted on that people. How
ever. there is another class of politicians
In the South to whom four years of pros
lcctiVc exile from Office, and crampcd
means during that period of probation. are
by no means tempting. They have been
walters ON Providence Tor long time and
feel uncomfortable at being left out in the

willing to receive advances, and perhaps
might even seek them. But they are not in
my sense representative, and if bought up
by the Fraudulent President, will turn out
bad investment.
Still. it j. 80 important for HAYES to have

who have been cheated out OF their votes.

terms possible, without being particular

out their loose principles. After vlliying,
putraging. and sandcring the Southern
communities, through committees Of invest-
cation and by speeches IN Congress, a. muir
dcrcrs, assassins brutal consprators, and
runans. the Republican managers, when
another policy l. cXpediout, propose to en-
brace them and start on a now career, upon
condition Of receiving their support.
Mr.. FOSTER Of Ohio, who represents the
district in Congress where II AYES lives, and
claims to Ice his lifelong friend. went out of
his way to force this subject into the dis

The cXco- iNe strength Of the Democracy
in the South is one of the dangers to which
IT Is exposed at this time. Ambition, rivalry,
