WASHINGTON, Oct. Hills Fraudulcncy,
with all his pretended Indifference regarding
the result of tho Ohio election. Ia really very
much troubled. He has always been exceed
ingly timid on the subject of his title. Tho fear
OF an expose OF the Louisiana conspiracy has
haunted him day and night. and therefore ho
has sought to satisfy both parties in that state.
He agreed to recognize Nichols provided there
should be no prosecutions of the Returning
Board scoundrels and Wells and Anderson
were given the Federal patronage in accordance
with the promise made them before the work of
counting In the Hayes electors was done. But
still Hayes doesn't feel secure. He com planned
bitterly Yesterday to one of his intimate friends
from Ohio of the bitterness OF the speeches OF
the Democratic speakers at the Ohio serenade
last Thursday night. He especially complained
OF being called n fraud and u usurper. and said.
whinngly. that this was poor return for all he
had done for the South. This would Indicate
that no expected return in kind from the
Southern people. He did not adopt his South
ern policy because he felt impellcd thereto by
the obligation he had soemnly assumed to obey
the Constitution. but ne simply determined to
try II on in expectation Of stopping the outcry
against tho great fraud OF 1876.
This Is an important confession. II was
shrcwd dodge to divide the Democratic party in
the House Of Representatives. The Northern
Democrats would he pOwerless 10 prosecute tie
inquiry into the Louisiana fraud II the South
ern Democrats could be won over to the Ad-
ministration. This. then. Is the admitted object
Of ihr swinging round the circle i'm the South,
and accounts for the speeches made boy HAYES,
which sounded so strange in Northern KepuO-
But this ia not all Of Hnyos's confession TO his
Ohio friend Yesterday. lie said lie hed con

He had intended to appoint W. =. Bhinger Of
Galveston. Texas, Associate Justice OF tie Sn-
preme Court. but the oUtcry oi Northern kcpub-
Leans and the apathetc attitude 81 southern
