HAYES NOT TO BE TRUsrED.-It is not to be sx-
pected that the people of Louisiana will kiss the
rod that has smitten them so often, or enter in
TO alliance with An Administration which has
begun its career in teachery to them, and to
every pledge relating to the withdrawal of the
troops. They have nothing to negotiate abont.
; Nichols is Governor, and his authority is not
disputed in the State, except by o faction Of
corrupt carpet-baggers in New Orleans, propped
up by the presence Of Federal force.
When Hayes hesitated to make good his prom
ises after entering the White House, and sought
frivolous excuses for non action, it was evident
that he eitheS meditsted treachery, or wanted
moral eo1s~ge to execute the task Of 80 called
.conciliation.' He has vacilliated from day
4 % day and swung backward and forward, until
pis weakness, or his baseness has sought the
present mode Of relief from yexatious pressure.
We are not disappointed in this outcome, be-
cause, after o thorough examination Of Hayes 8
career, nothing could be discovered in il which
attracted confidence or inspired admiration
His last canvass for Governor Of Ohio, where he
introduced religion as an element OF ths cam
paign, upon the most false and scandaleus pre-
text, showed him to be . low and unscrupulous
demagogue, capable of prosiituting what most
men hold sacred. to serve the ends Of party and
personal ambition.-C0r. ~ Y. Sun.

OBITBARY.

All that Is mortal of Edward NcCsbe
will rest in the kindly bosom Of the earth
before tho sun sets this evening. It Is not
often that one is called upon to notice the
death Of q man so gifted and cultured as
the gentleman We write absut.. An accom-
plished scholar, . learned lawyer, true
patriot-he has left many mourning friends
to bewail his untimely death. It is true,
ike other brilliant men, bis grand intellect
was in human casket, and that which was
human was not in all things perfect, but
truth, honor. courage and manliness COM
bined to mark him as q man among men.
They who knew him for years can testify
that from his lips never came an expression
that was taunted with either impurity or
mslice. He was good, because evil was not
iu him. The simplicity Of his faith in the
divine was oLly equalled by its fervor and
force. OF all the writer ever knew, he was
the most unselfish-to give the light of his
bright mind to another, without counting
the Inconvenience, was to him at all times q
pleasure. The poor who knew him adored
him as munificent benefactor; The bale
legged gamin and unkempt little girls who
infsst the offices of Philadelphia, always
were kindly talked to and dismissed with
advice that was richer than the benefac.iou
frequently bestowed upon them. We
firmly believe that these deeds have already
pleaded in bar of venial offences, and that
be now enjoys the reward which has been
promised to the pure of heart.
