The 4x1 Commits sion sent to Lou
isiana have not reported yet. 1t
will probably come in about Satur-
day, but will amount to nothing.
HAYES will undoubtedly withdraw
the troops from that carpet-bag rid
den State, and the PACKARD govern
ment will then go to pieces the same
as did the CHAMBERLAIN in South
Carolina, and Gov. NICHOLS will as,
sumo the Governorship. PACKARD
however, declares he will not give up,
and as he is backed by such malcon,
tents as MORTON and BLAINE there
may be some trouble down there, but
it will be of short duration.

What's the matter? 1t has been
said we have touched bottom. Spe-
Gle payments can now be resumed;
yet for some reason gold is climbing
up. Can it be possible that the
greenback theory is not dead yet?
Labor combinations and thousands
upon thousands of votes upon that
old base, have an ugly look for poll
ticians. That old issue may come to
the front again. Fifty-five thousand
men demanding relief in New York
indicates that the sunshine of pros.
perity has not sent its cheering rays

Are the republicans honest when
they declare they are in favor Of Mr..
Hayes policy, when in truth neither
they o any one else, not excepting
Mr.. Hayes himself, knows what
Mr.. Hayes policy is. If he concil-
iates the South, which is unlikely,
they will throw up their hats for
him. If he puts his heel upon the
people there, through the army, as
Grant did, which is probable, they
will sing hosannas to the patriotic
President, which is why we remark
in an iuterrogatiye way-"are they
honest?"

HAYES is slowly p~arcelling out his
stolen goods among the original
thieves. Humphreys has been made
Collector of Pensacola. The last
time Humphreys was in public life
was on the 9th of December when he
stole the electoral vote of Florida and
cast it for Hayes. 1t was not the first
time he had been in public life o
is it believed to be the first time he
has officially handled stolen goods.
Humphreys was a Massachusetts
man, and was Massachusetts born
and he helped to take Florida out of
the Union. He held a Federal office
before the war, and afterward served
in the rebel army. As a Democrat
he backed Andrew johnson, and as
a Republican he supported Grant
in time to keep his johnson office
under Grant. Under the carpet-bag
Government he held five offices, and
was charged with stealing in two of
them. He got a sixth office, the
Collectorship, which he now has,
and his bonds were found to be
worthless. He got the office by ly-
ing to Grant. Grant found out
the lie, certified it over to the Treas
ury, and revoked his appointment.
The Treasury Department holds the
record. Hayes had the facts. Hum
phreys has his appointment.

Doubling and week-kneed Demo
Gratis if any such there be, will do
well to consider the significant fact
that of the seven members who make
up the Cabinet of President Hayes
there are but two-Mr. Sherman and
Mr.. McCrary-who are straight
out" Republicans. Of the seven
members of the Cabinet, three only
represent States which threw their
votes for Mr.. Hayes, while four rep
resent States which threw their
votes for Mr.. Tilden. In the very
composition of his Cabinet the
fraudulent President acknowledges
the triumph of Democratic senti-
ment. When such an Administra-
ton is confronted with a new Dem
ocratic House, organized, as the new
House assuredly will be, under an
honest and unwavering Democratic
leader the triumph of sound Demo
cratic principles will bring speedy
peace and the restoration of the reign
of the laws to all the land, with no
need of parley or palaver.

In another part of our paper we
publish the blouse Joint Resolu-
t%ions," relative to an amendment Of
articles four and eleven of the Con-
stitution, recognizing the Judiciary
of the State of Ohio. If adopted by
a vote of the people on the Second
Tuesday of October next, it will
make some radical changes in the
Judiciary system, and every voter
should carefully read the provisions
of the amendment that he may vote
intelligently upon them. The a.
mendment proposes to abolish the
office of Probate Judge and transfer
the judicial duties of that Court to
the Common Pleas judge, and pro-
vides that each county Of the State
shall elect q Common Pleas Judge.

The Fremont and Southwestern
Railroad has been sold to the bond
holders, and a new organization form
ed to complete the line. The cars
are now running from Fremont to
St. Mary's, and the purpose of the
new organization is to extend their
line to the south and southwest from
the present terminus, St. Marys.
From Eaton to St. Mary's is about
4s miles, rta Greenville. IL the gap
between Eaton and ST. Mary's could
be closed up it would furnish, in
connection with the Eaton & Hamil-

Fremont to Cincinnati, and the most
direct line of communication between
the Ohio river and the lake. The

His Fraudulency has concluded to

for ''the army" We hope to zee the
Democratic members meet this de-
mand as it should be met, and refuse
to appropriate a single dollar to the
army SO long as this army is to be
used for political purposes. Ever
since the war the army has been
used to prop up "a set Of grasping

not been used for legitimate purpos-
es, but sent South to intimidate hon

Custer and his brave little band were
purposely sacrificed, and Grant is
more to blame for the slaughter of
these men than is "Sitting Bull"
Grant disliked Custer; he was jeal-
GUS of him, and was his personal and
political enemy. He therefore sent
him with a handful of men to con-
tend against the combined tribes of
savages, knowing that he and his
little army must be sacrificed. Gus
ter had appealed to the administra-
ton for reinforcements, but his ap-
peals were unheeded, for more than
three-fourths of our regular troops
were stationed in the Southern States
to do the bidding of Kellogg, Cham
berlain, John j. Patterson, Wells,
Packard and other thieving impos
tors and scoundrels, and therefore
the troops could hot be spared to
Custer who was contending with a
force of Indians that numbered five
to his one. Custer and his little ar
my were murdered-murdered by
order of Grant. And now his fraud
ulency is attempting to play Grant.
He is attempting to put his heel up
on the necks Of the white men of the

army to enable him to do this. Mem
bers of Congress should answer him
thus-"No, Mr.. Usurper, except with
the provision that the army is to be
Withdrawn from the Southern States,

THE SOUTH AND THE FUTURE.

AS to the future political status of
the South, that will depend upon
the treatment she receives at the
hands of the Administration, and we
think her case has been very clearly
and dispassionately presented by ex-
Gov. Brown, Of Georgia, in q CON-
m~unication, the pith of which is con-
tanned in the following extract:
off the purpose of the President
is to restore peace and harmony to
the country, and to divide the South
by lines other than the color line,
there is an easy and patriotic mode
of doing it. Let him and his party
offer us no bride of office; and let
them, in the administration of the
Government, do equal and exact JUS
tiee to every State and to every
section of the Union; let them bury
the war issue, and let there be no
further allusion to it. In a word, let
the Republican party cease to haunt
the bloody shirt in our face, and let
them, as pledged-we have complied
with the Reconstruction acts-con-
cede the same right to local self
government to Louisiana and South
Carolina which is conceded to New
York and Ohio; and let all efforts to
keep up division on account of past
connection with the war case, and
the result will maturity be new issues
will spring up; tariffs and banks and
the internal revenue system, inter
nal improvements, &c, will then &C.
cupy the attention of the people.
Upon these, men of both colors and
both parties, North and South, will
naturally differ, and they will divide
upon them. In this mode and this
alone a the South be divided by
lines other than substantially the
color line. So long, however, as the
Republican party labors to keep the
war issues alive, and to divide the
people and infame their prejudices
On account of the war, we will main
tain a solid Democratic South, no
matter what efforts may be made to
buy, to bully and to bride u.s."
The Democracy of the North, we
take it, are in full accord with ex-
Gov. Brown in entertaining the opin
ions so concisely yet forcibly ex-
pressed in the extract about quoted.
Let the constitutional rights to local
self-government be restored and
guaranteed 10 the Southern States
N as full a measure as the States
of the North exercise it without
any let or hindrance. After that, if
in the course of political events the
Republican party or any other party
that may arise to oppose the Demo
cratic party, can carry any of the
Southern States in a fair election, we
will have no right to complain, or
dispute the result; for it may then
be assumed that the votes of these
States have been honestly cast
against us and as honestly counted.
