The following note is written by very
true Conservative who has had the oppor-
tunity Of observing recent occurrences in
Washington and of intercourse with the
leaders Of both the great national parties !:
PREDICTION FROM A yIRGINIAE AT WASH
INGTON.
The crisis is passed. The political cyclone
that threatened the peace Of the country
and the veal OF the South has disappeared
from the horizon. The filibusters-better
styled JlttbustererS-have been defeated.
The course OF thesouthern representatives.
notably those from Virginia-should re-
dound to their unfading honor. The Dis
patch and other Conservative Journals in
the South deserve like praise. g..
Governor Hayes will be peacefully in
Quoted into office. Bis inaugural will be
conservative not merely In generalities, but
specifically. 1'e
The death OF earpet-baggers and carpet
bag governments Is nigh at hand. The nail
driven into the temple OF Sisera by Jael
was not more deadly than will prove the
Executive pruning knife Of Mr.. Hayes upon
that foul political and moral excresence.
The military will be promptly withdrawn,
their hitherto only fortress of protection,
and the interruptions riff-raff will fly like
dust before the storm. They have sowed
the wind; they shall reap the whirlwind.
South Carolina and Louisiana will stand
forth fuls-robed in their States rights and
States sovereignty, redeemed, regenerated,
and disenthralled from their ignominious
bondage, and their noble, long-suffering
people will be once more free and happyi
