Southern Comments ON the Addres,


New ORLEANS, March 6.-The following are
the newspaper comments on President Hayes
inaugural address:
The Picayune says: Such are Mr.. HAYES
principles. Whether or not his practice will
conform TO them the future alone can deter
miIe. HIS irst practical step will be the for
nation OF his Cabinet. If popular surmises
should prove correct, the South has no longer
to dread marplot official interference
The Times says: 1t is a creditable state pa
per, and carries an impression of broad and
Intelligent grasp of the subjects commented.
Inc tone IS in every respect commendable. The
reader Will see ION perusal of the document
that the author of it at least does not seem to
speak with two tongues. 1t is further appar.
ent that he is capable of conceiving a states
manlike policy, expressing it in apt terms, and
that the conservative position assumed is mark
that the ideas presented are not taken second
hand. So far as it is an index of policy, it is
suspicious, and we have no doubt will satisfy
the best elaments OF society in all sections of
the country. Whether the deeds of the new
administration will correspond to these pleas
ant words OF the inaugural remains to be seen.
The Democrat says: The inaugural address
OF Mr.. Hayes is the first statesmanlike utter
ance that has come from the Republican party
since the close of the war. If he shall have
the flrmness and courage to carry out the broad
ana catnolic views and purposes expressed in
TO ms administration, greatly reduce the diff
culties of his position and confer great benefit
upon the country.
AUGUSTA, Ga, March 6.-The Chronicle and
Sentinel says: If President Heyes sticks to the
spirit Of his speech, he will do much toward
lesaening the disappointment which the South
feit when abe judgment of the Electoral Com
missioners was pronounced. Altogether it is a
manly, moderate and statesmanlike address.
COLUMBIA, S. c., March 6.-The inaugural
address OF President Hayes meets with most
cordial approval here. Its expression in regard
to the Southern policy of the new administra-
ton are regarded by the people as as a certain
indication OF the recognition Of the Hampton
government. The eve of peace and prosperity
is confidently expected, and that the troops viii
be Withdrawn from the State House within the
next few days.

A terrible plot among the Chinese prisoners
at the California state prison at San Quentin
has just come to light. On the Chinese New
Year these prisoners, belonging to the several
rival companies, asked permission to have some
delicacies furnished them in honor of the day.
This was granted, and the Chinese cooks, who
all belonged to the same company, in prepar-
ing the rice and pork took occasion to steal q
part of the provisions. This was discovered by
the others and stopped by the prison officials,
whereupon the cooks pounded up two quarts
of glass and mixed it in the huge kettle in
which the rice was being cooked This was all
discovered, when they quietly armed them
selves with knives and hatchets, intending to
attack the others when they were locked up for
the night, but fortunately this plan was discov-
cred and frustrated.
A sad tragedy of the centennial has come to
light at Philadelphia in the finding of the bad
ly decomposed body Of a well-dressed, unknown
man partly buried in rubbish in the rayine near
the grangers' encampment. 1t appears that a
loom in the grangers' hotel was found much
dsarranged one morning early in November,
and blood was spattered about the room and
the corridor, but the matter was hushed up.
The man was probably murdered with hatch
ct, and robbed, then, and the burning of the
building, later, may have been the work of the
murderers to conceal their deed. Search is be-
ing made for the bodies of missing men, who,
it is feared, may have shared the fate of the
unknown dead, as the neighborhood was the
resort of gang Of robbers.
