All the talk of any effective oppose
ton to be made in the ensuing Con-
gress to the Southern policy of the
Administration, is the verriest bosh, or
at least snch it appears to us, for we
are ut a loss to understand how any
such opposition can amount to any
thing. or what use will it be to buck
against accomplished facts? Does it
seem reasonable to presume that a bill
can be passed through Congress rein
stating the governments of Packard
and Chamberlain by Remaining the
States of South Carolina and Louisiana
to a territorial condition, which is the
only means by which such an end can
be accomplished. No such bill would
receive the sanction of the. Senate,
much less the House of Representa-
lives; and even if 1t did, would the
President so stultify himself as to ap-
prove it? No Democrat in either
branch will vote or act in opposition to
the non-interference policy of the Ad-
m~inistration, and the same may be
said Of probably a majority of the Re-
publican members. Then what a
the few malcontents do to interfere
with that policy? The Admins
tralion is evidently determined to
mind its own business and leave State
Governments in the South to manage
their own local affairs the same as in
the Northern States. Then what can
the opposition do in the premises? 1t
can rail at the Administration and de-
nounce its policy, but who will care.
or what will it mount to? 1t is rn-
mored that Butler contem plates an at.
tack upon Mr.. Hayes title to the Pres
idency with a view to driving him out
and installing Mr.. Tilden. But how
would that help the case, so far rs the
defunct Governments in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana are concerned?
The Presidents policy is just what the
Democrats have always commended for
and Is just what Mr.. Tilden's would
have been had he been i~naugurated
The Democrats generally doubtless be-
lieve that Mr.. Tilden was legally
elected, and probably would sanction
any lawful method to install him in
the position to which they believe he
is entitled, If enough Republican MEM
bers would unite with them to
plish it, which is by no means proba-
BILE. But that would not tend in the
slightest degree to re-esta blish the Re.
turning Board governments in either
of the above named States. The fact
Is, q new political era has dawned upon
the republic and Federal interference
in the local affairs of States is as dead
a. the institution Of slavery. May
they both rest in peace.
A PARTISAN matrimonial advertise
ment says: "A grandmother, who is
infirm, wishes to marry her grand
daughter, eighteen years of age, pretty,
honorable, stylish, and with 12,000,-
000f, 10 a young man who is serious
and has a title and some fortune"
Another advertisement runs: "A gen.
tleman of mature age and q literary
man will marry a lady of his own
country and political party (anti-Bona-
partist) il she be forty years Of age and
have more than forty thousand francs
in the funds. If not, no."
JEFFERSON DAVIS says to the Lee
Association that their aus has been
crushed, not destroyed, and that
though the silver lining Of the cloud is
not quite distinct the Lee fellows need
not be dismayed. The truth, he says,
was only postponed, and will come at
last. Pity about that.
