gural, referring to the South, says: "It
| Ia impossible not to admire the spirit !;
1t Is perfectly patriotic it is free from
narrowness and partisan bias; it is en-
| lightened and 1t is independent. BY
what precise methods Mr.. Hayes will
carry his admirable sentiments into
effect 1t is too soon to say; 1t Is certain,
however, that whatever they may be they
will be attended with great and COM
plioated difficulties, and that the coun-

bearance and to wait patiently for their

IN. Y. Herald
The New York Herald, In q leading
editorial, finds President Hayes address
Wise and satisfactory. It sees no good
reason to distrust the Presidents ability
to fulfill his excellent promises. Indeed.
he will find it easier to keep than to
OF the American people. It is but fair
to judge him by his pledges until he
fails to fulfill them he has evnced a
wisdom that would not discredit the
most ilustrious of his predecessors. It
is the clear duty Of the country to sup
port him; even the Democrats should
give him generous good words, as he
engages to do the very things they ex-
peeted of Tilden. The country need
not wait long to know the sincerity Of
Hayes promises, for the Southern ques-
ton meets him on the threshold Of his
administration, and his pledges will b9
soon put to the test We believe he has
snfiexibly made up his mind or he could
not have taken the strong ground he
has in regard to the Southern States.
On the subject OF civil service reform
he utters no uncertain sound. The
earnestness and resoluteness of purpose
disclosed will strengthen the President
In public confidence.
National Republican.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The National
Republican has an article on the presi.
Dental policy, which has been carefully
prepared, and reflects the views Of the
President in regard to the Southern
States. It says the South needs simple
justice in legislation, and in the en-.
forcement OF the laws. The fact is,
Gov. Hayes appreciates, and he will
seize the golden opportunity now offered
him for increasing the peace and pros
perity of the American people every
where, especially those who have SO
long been under q cloud in the South.
He will, undoubtedly, in making his
Southern appointments, select only
men who live in the South, and are
identified with it's material interests
and respected by the people. In select
ing men for local Federal offices, he
will not hesitate in appointing Demo-
Gratis when the best interests OF the
country and people will be subserved
by 80 doing.

such a severe strain on the constitution,
