Ii the impatient Southern Democrats who
are fuming about Washington because Pres
ident Hayes has resolved not to make a snap
judgment in the Southern cases, do not bear
themselves with greater moderation, they
will 60 far toward impairing the good i'm.
preston which their patriotic bearing dur
ing the electoral controversy made upon the
country.-NeW York Tribune
We regard the deliberation and Calmness
which characterize the Presidents action
thus far as good indication. He is not to
be urged into hasty action where there is so
much need of prudence, any more than he is
to be driven from his course where it is clear
and fully determined upon.-Boston Globe.
That the hopes of the Southern people
have had n check in the decision arrived at

The partisans of Nichols are reported as
dissatisfied with the determination to send
Commission TO Louisiana. A little patience
on their part is quite IN order, and we apply
the same remark to Packard. We should
be glad to see little more evidence on his
part, as we'll as on theirs, of a disposition to
do what is best.-Ai6any Jurnl.

Itlsso evident that we have passed into a

lift is really true, as it appears to be
that the republicans of South Carolina, al
though in a majority, are not able to produc
sufficient evidence Of their right, nor th

them to pursue Is to accept the situation ant
