JNs-If there is any hope for a real pacificatior
of the South, it lies in the strengthening of tn,
Conservative classes there. The men who voted
against Secession, who voted for Bell, and Doug
las and Fillmore, had, until the war, been strong
element of opposition to the fanatical "Fire-E
ing" party. They still exist, and are undoubted
ly tired of an alliance with Northern Democrats
who were "invincible in peace and invisible in
war" Under President Hayes we hope to see
them recognized and recognized, supporting
once more the National Union, and frustrating the
criminal schemes of those whose ideas of politi.
and bull-dOzers.

SS-Judge Brown, in his charge to the Balti

cial attention of the members to the law against
gambling, and said that it their duty to bring
all violators Of the law before the Court. Yet
gambling of all kinds goes on just the same, right
under the Courts nose, and yet the offenders arc
not punished. What is the use of a law when il
can be trodden under foot in this manner? and

to it when the gamblers are rarely if ever pun

ES-T There have been very many evidences that
Gov. Hayes is a man of thoroughly just and
calm temperament, the strongest of which was the
manner in which he treated the Southern question
in his letter of acceptance of the Cincinnati nom
ination. But there is another letter of his that
ought to be put on record. 1t was written from
camp near Charleston, West Virginia, in the July
of 1864, in reply to friend who held that the
United States should make bloody retaliation fol
the treatment of Union soldiers in Confederate
prisons Governor-then General-Hayes wrote
back:
"You wrote one thoughtless sentence; COM
planning of Lincoln for failing to protect our I'M
fortunate prisoners by retaliation. All mistake
All such things should be avoided as much as pos
sible. We have done too much rather than toe
little. You use the phrase brutal Rebels. DOM
be cheated in that way. There are enough brutal
Rebels, no doubt but there are plenty of human
Rebels. have seen good deal of it on our late
trip War is cruel business, and there is brutality
in it on all sides but it is very idle to get ul
anxiety on account of any supposed peculiar cru
city ON the part of the Rebels
1t is not every man who, in the passions and
excitement of the war, could have kept his temper
down as Gen. Hayes and written in such a COO
and equable frame of mind. There is no indica-
ton that if he is inaugurated his administration
will be violently partisan in its character.

~ George WelIslager, Baltimore judge of
election, who was tried and convicted in the Grim
inal Court of throwing hand full of tickets into
the ballOt-box at the November election, 1875, was
on Monday sentenced by Judge Brown to two
years in Jail. On the same day Edward w. Ben
nett, Jr; who had been convicted of Matchmaking,
was sentenced to two years in Jail and fined $500.
1t will be remembered that Bennett is the man,
who, while a member of the Grand Jury, extorted
S21.5O from man who had been indicted by the
Jury for selling whisky on Sunday, under the pre-
tense that he (Bennett) could get him out of the
difficulty for that sum- The public will agree with
us that it does not speak well for city like Bati-
more when she selects such men as Wellslager and
Bennett as judges of election and Grand Jurors
Yet they are both 'good men," "useful to the par
ty," and that accounts for it.
