THE New York Times yesterday sounded
the keynote OF the Republican campaign
in this State. 1t is to ignore the Southern
policy Of Mr.. Hayes, without making any
breach in the organization of the party as
it at present exists. We can hardly credit
so shreWd politician as Mr.. Conkling has
heretofore shown himself TO be. with the
paternity of scheme so utterly impossi-
BILE of accomplishing The Republican
party cannot wage a successful contest
upon such a platform. The President s
policy is the record of his administration
and so must be either endorsed fully or so
rejected. The necessities of the approach
ing conflict will be certain to force this is
sue, whether acceptable to politicians OF
not. No house divided against itself CAL
stand. From the boldness of the position
thus assumed by Mr.. Conkling's friends a
this early date, we may expect the speedy
inauguration of bitter quarrel in the Re
publican ranks, destined 10 involve the Ell
tire political element of the country befor
II Is either settled or mpromised.-N J
Republic.
That is very plausible. But the who'll
existence of the Republican party has beel
based upon fraud deception and sham. MI
Conkling found Mr.. Hayes adoption of tn
Democratic Southern policy unpopula
with the Republican party because it wa
policy which the Republican party ha.
opposed for ten years, and 10 turn from
their error and acknowledge they had erre
before the masses in every State and ever
county and town in the Union was NOR
than they could bear. But Mr.. Conkling
educated in duplicity, What the leader
and many OF the rank and file of the Re-
publican party now want is a man to extr
cate them from this position without clasl
ing with the Hayes administration, an
Mr.. Conkling has undertaken that task.
He will crafty the office-holders and th
atch-penny politicians who do the part
work and live upon their opposition to th
Democratic party, by running the Stat
campaign in opposition to Hayes and favol
abe TO Blaine and Morton but if NJ
ConkliRg carries the Legislature and is r,
elected to the Senate he will gracefully bo
to the Presidents policy and hold out h
hat for as many appointments in his ow
State as the fraudulent Chief Magistrate
the Union has TO give. In fact Mr.. ConI
ling is now attempting to do in New Yor
with his party just what the Cameron
have heretofore done in Pennsylvania
make it stepping-stone 10 personal al
grandiZement at the sacrifice of all regaI
TO any patriotism whatever. But there
great hope that he will fall utterly and /

REVIVAL OF TRADE.-Trade must re-

we guess the good old silver dollar can
stand it. If Congress will only make it
a legal tender it will sell for more than
the present gold dollar. Without this

demonetized it will be in demand and

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. O, 1877.
Affairs at the Capital have been in an
unsettled state for the last week or two,
but now that the regular winter session of
Congress is under way and the usually
tedious fortnight of organizing has not
got to be suffered, we are sort of settling
down and getting used to things. The
freshet of ten days ago set us all by the
ears then the Huron di saster put the city
into perfect whirl of excitement for sew
eral days and the behavior of the Senate
during the last few days and nights of the
extra session was enough to unsette big
ger world than this of the Capital City
The seating of Butler and Kellogg took
much time and caused much disputing
"among the Elders" Butler is a one
legged Confederate General, six feet tall
and the possessor of strong, clear blue eyes.
Kellogg looks little as he did when he en-
tered the Senate 10 years ago black
haired and heavily bearded man. His four
years of gubernatorial perplexities have
perceptibly aged him, as his silvering hair
and thin face testihes. His sharp visage is
now smoothly shaven.
An impromptu concert of very high
order occurred at the White House one
evening last week. Miss Emma Thursby
gave two Of her musical performances in
the city and, while here visited the Execu-
tive Mansion with several members of her
troupe. Mrs. Hayes had invited her and
had invited several ladies and gentlemen to
meet her. The guests were received in the
Green Parlor, but when Miss Thursby came
to sing the room seemed too small so the
company repaired to the great East Room
where the finest of music was rendered,
much to the delight of those assembled
Mrs. Hayes is most delightful hostess
With no apparent exertion she sees to it
that each one of her guests, no matter how
many are present, is comfortable and at his
ease. No one is neglected where she is
Callers are received at any time, as they
would be by any lady, and their dress and
treatment is the same. When person ar
rives, to call on Mrs. Hayes, he or she is

President Hayes Message.


President Hayes sent his first mes
sage to Congress shortly after noon on
Monday. He congratulates the country
upon its bountiful harvests and makes
an appeal to Congress to unite in an ear
nest attempt to secure a permanent paci-
fication of the whole country. The fol-
lowing is an abstract of the suggestions
made in the message.
The first subject that receives his at
tention is his southern policy. He JUS
titles his action in removing the troops
from the State House in Columbia and
New Orleans on the ground of right,
necessity and constitutionality. OF the
effect of his Southern policy, the Presi-
dent says, that as far as he can now
judge, it has been good; the Southern
States are quieter and more prosperous
than before; credit is better; industries
are more thriving; especially is there an
absence of those acts af violence which
before were so common. And while he
does not defend his policy, he seems to
take pride in calling attention to what
he considers its success.
The currency question receives consid-
cradle attention. He speaks of the re-
sumption of specie payments as mat
ter of the greatest and most general i'm
portance to the people of the country,
and necessary for the purpose of bring
ing our internal and foreign commerce
into harmony with that of the rest of
the world.
After most anxious and careful ex-
animation. the President declares him.
self as more than ever confirmed in the
opinion he expressed in his letter of ac-
ceptance and in his inaugural address,
that the policy of resumption should be

shown into cloak room near the entrance
where outer wrappngs are laid aside, while,
cards are taken in to the hostess. This is
all the ceremony that is observed and this
is simply done in lieu of an introduction.
On the evening / have mentioned some
Southern people who were at the White
House expressed themselves as delighted to
observe one of their own customs of other
days in this the black nurses and other
domestics comfortably ensconced just out
side the company room" to see, hear and
enjoy. AS have said, Mrs Hayes spares
no pains to make even the most humble
about her comfortable and happy.
A movement is on foot petitoning Clara
Morris to ccme to Washington and give
performance for the benefit of the Custer
Monument. The petition is signed by Presi-
dent Hayes, many Congressman and
citizsns.
Our Labor Exchange is still thriving
Among other helps it has received is one
from the Agricultural Department that
secures it the contract for making paper
bags for seeds. Instruction is being given
without charge, also in the art of deco
rating china, in the hope of giving class
of women means thereby of earning
livelihood.
The very day President Lincoln was
killed he signed the Custom House ap-
pontment of Kellogg, the newly seated
Senator over whom such squabble was
indulged in last week. There are but two
members of the Lincoln family now living.
Mrs. Lincoln who is with her sister in
Springfield, Illinois, and Robert, who is
practicing law in Chicago But few know
or care anything of their whereabouts-s
soon do people go out of sight and out of
mind. Lincoln, as the Emancipation Pres
ident is immortalized here by at least three
statues one on a high pedestal in front of
the City Hall one, by Winnie Ream, which
stands in the Hall of Statuary at the Cap
tol ; and one, of bronze in Lincoln Square,
that was paid for by contributions of the
colored people alone-a magnificent thing.
The two first mentioned are of white mar
BILE and life sized.
1t is still sunny and bright, but the
winter air is felt. The warm weather left
with Thanksgiving day.

only limited supply of arms and am
munition and persuading them to ex-
change their ponies for cattle. This, it
is believed, will destroy or subdue their
warlike spirit. AS fast as the Indians
give up hunting the President thinks
they should be placed on smaller num-
Der of reservations and taught agricul-
ture and cattle raising; in teaching
them the arts of peace, attention should
be paid to the natural tastes af the In
dians, and those who prefer cattle rails
ing to farming should be allowed to
choose their occupation. For the pro-
lection of the Indians the extension of
the jurisdiction of the United States
Courts and an Indian police composed
of Indians are recommended.
The compulsory education of Indian
children is also recommended. The
farms supported by the Government,
the President says, should be used for
the instruction of youth in the schools,
and the farmers should visit the farms
managed by the Indians themselves and
give them the advice they need. On the
reservations Indian labor alone is rec
commended. The Investigations into the
conduct of Indian affairs which have
been made by the present Secretary of
the Interior are referred to and the good
results of them mentioned Legislation
providing for the more certain discovery
and prevention of abuses in the Indian
Service Is called for.
In the paragraphs of the message de-
voted to the District of Columbia the
President recommends liberal appropria-
tions for proper improvements. He be-
lieves Washington should be something
more than a political centre, and he
favors the establishment of national
university at the capital, endowed with
sufficient funds to enable it to become
the leading college of learning in the
country.

whIsksy Loving congressman.

Persons often wonder why such
strange speeches are made In Congress.
Perhaps the following will in part ex-
plain 1t.
WASHINGTON, December 4.-Mr Price
Iowa) asked leave to offer a resolution
reclting alleged charges that the nine
teenth joint rule (which prohibits the
sale of Intoxicating liquors in the capitol
building) was being violated, and in
structing the officers of the house to en-
force that joint rule.
The speaker said that as he believed
the joint rules were still In force, he had
endeavored to have the sale of liquor
stopped, and that the keeper of the
house restaurant had been notified that
II 1t were not stopped he would violate
his contract He was entirely in accord
with the resolution, though the officers
OF the house were in no wise to blame
for the violence of the rule. The reso-
luton was adopted.
