MR. HAYES

/ MIX. HAYES
has returned among us from his Southern
! trip aud is in excellent spirits over his en-
: thusiastic reception in that Sect ion. lie
| had some misgivmgs as to the character OF
! his reception, but all have now been dis
! p+lled. and he reports the country IN the
best condition and inclination for a union
! Of the fraternal feeling, both in social and
business aspects, that existed prior To the
war; and will shape his future aGm in is'ia IA
! ton of government affairs with view to
| bringing about that happy CONDITION of
/ things between both sections of the conn
| try, the opponents of his policy To the con
! trary notwithstanding. Let the war paint
! ed, administration scaiping Blanites now
! stand from under, for the mighty will OF
] the people must aud shall be observed.
| THE TRIAL OF THE RETURNING BOARD
| was called up in the criminal court at New
/ Orleans ON the first Monday yesterday of
/ October, Wells and Anderson havaem
! ployed able attorneys, who have been hard
at work ge ting up a defense. The two
/ colored members, kenper and Cassanave,
! are very indifferent, seeming 10 think that
: there is really no desire to prosecute them.
I The defense will first seek a postponement
! of the case, failing in which their next step
! will be to have their trial transferred to
the L. S. Circuit Court, and were Judge
/ Bond presiding we think they would have
! very little, if any trouble. in eflec;ing Il
transfer bur, as Judge Woods partakes
/ more of the nature of Judge than poiiti-
/ clan, and there being no L. ). statute au-
| thorizing a change of trial fIOm the local
/ to L. 5. Courts, they will be compelled to
; take their chances with q Southern jury.
! We predict that the case will get so not
! for ttiem ere it closes that they viii not
! wait for the verdict, but jump their bail
! in il sudden exit from the country.

! Roscoe, with tlre little bureau knob of
! fizz on the top of his forehead balancing
I bis delicate brain in the center. sounded
the tocsin OF war in the radical convention
! in New York by preventing the adoption
of the resolution endorsing Mr. Hayes
! policy. That refinement and geniillty in
the person Of Mr.. Curtis should be insuted
with such language as the New York To'nbs
! shyste" used, is disgusting even among re-
spectacle RepuUicaus. The animuS OF
/ such fellows is like the barking of poodle
! dog at a mastiff. Mr., Hayes is noG at a II
| alarmed at such attacks, as they receive
/ no response from the people, The dsturb-
| ances in the convention which occurred
! over the resolution show the party III that
! State To be divided, which Mil result in
! their defeat in November. Mr.. Hayes
| xiil continue on with his policy, being de-
! termined that the New York ofiice-holCers
| shall not set his policy a. defiance, whetlI-
! er they te the friends Of Conklng or any
other radical. Mr.. Evarts regrets that the
! convention did not place itself the
/ cord in support OF the policy which is SO
universally approved of by the people, and
/ remarked that their course of action will
! afford the Democratic party the oppOItuiIi-
/ " not only to endorse the peace policy, but
! reap whelming Democralc success in
the coming November election III that
State.
| TIE BLAINE WING
/ OF the radical party, who seem to be deter
| mined not 10 quiet ly abandon their chances
! of a successful onslaught on Mr.. Hayes,
: will buck lie on their armor i'll the vain hope
of piercing a breach in his civil service re-
: ful IN policy. Their line of battle will be
| directed particularly against the character
! oT his appointments, aud the case of the
! OHIO clerks, they contend, will afford them
/ n case in point, notw il outstanding Mr.. Hayes
| indignant denial Of any intention on his
! part to compel the clerks to go home and
vote. Altogether, we predict the coming
/ session will be quite stormy and interest.
! ing, bottled up wrath being abundant.
TIE orzo CAMPAIGN
! will be conducted by both parties more
with "A determined effort TO carry the Leg
! iSlature than to succeed in electiug Gov
! ernor. as npon that depends the election of
! a L. s. Senator, which, owiDg tn The pies
| cut close vote in the Senate, is of vital im-
! portance to the interest of both Democrats
! and Republicans. This will undoubtedly
! cause a very heated contest, the DenocI ats
| at the present writing feeling moie assured
/ of success in that direction than at the
| time Of our last communication, NJ. Hayes
visit having had the effect to iampen the
! ardor OF the extreme rads. rather than add
/ to the strength o! his party, A good many
; Of the radical RAIDS. have concluded TO
''stay ut home" aud let the election go by
default sooner than endorse Rutherford,
and credibly informed that uum
Der of Department clerks will remain here
instead of going home, claiming protection
under Mr.. Hayes recent oIder as well AS
the old excuse Of poverty, but this should
not cause our Democratic brethren to be
/ luke warm in bringing out their full vote,
for it may be merely radical dodge to
influence Democrats to become inactive,
for ''ye radical is mighty tricky"
THE PATENT OFFICE FIRE,
which occurred here on Monday of last
week, now that the smoke of confusion, as
well as that of the fire, las cleared away,
proves to be not such great loss as was at
first supposed, aud the clerical force in the
different Bureaus ere this reaches you,
will be steadily at work as though no ca taS-
t:uphe had occurred. Il large force have
been busily engaged all week cleaning up
the debris and over!.auling and assor ing
those models which were not entirely Ges-
troyed, many being found IN tolerable good
condition, they being composed principa Y
of iron, thereby esca ping destruction. The
models injured OF destroyed were mostly
those of agricultural Supplements, and those
relating 10 railroads, hydraulic. and pneu-
naiics, and can be readily reproduced from
TIE drdoings and speci ifcations Cchtch remain
intact, aud were kept i'll the story below
e
that in which the fire orig mated, the cell
ing over this ''story" being covered by a
brick archway, and said archway being
inlaid with marble slabs, and all taken To-
gether formed the ground floor to the mp
per story, in the highest portion of which
, the fire occurred and to which it was
, strictly confined. We make it point to
IL.
