THE Philadelphia Press says: "Pres-
iient HAYES is proceeding cautiously in
his policy of Southern paciiication.
When both parties in the South more
CLEARLY understand the necessity nf com
promise and concession Tor their mutual
interests his task will be an castor one"
Not so. What both parties must clearly
understand is that there can be no "com-
promise" in this matter. HAYES must
either order away the troops or keep
them there. Every day of delay in
cresses his responsibility.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1877-03-23

THE evident ter dency of Mr.. Hayes
policy Is to make elections hereafter,
what thew have often tailed to be in the
past, real indication of the popular
preferences. At the South he is indeav-
orng to do away with bsyonet CAM
psigns and false counting."-7Ttduns, Of
course.
Oh, como, now, don't ask any enc to
believe what you don't believe your
self. President HAYES has taken and
keeps his seat without any regard for the
real indications of the popular prefer
ences of Louisiana and Florida. He has
profi,ed by bayonet campaigns and false
counting at the South, and has taken not
the first step towards removing the bay
one.s or discouraging, censuring or pun.
i,hing tho authors of the false counts

IT is declared by persons long resident in
and thoroughly familiar with Paris that the
present political crisis in Paris, the issue of
which is very doubtful, has brought out, as
the engine of the Opposition or Republican
party, journalism of a very high and peculiar
order. The French government rigidly pre-
vents the sale of the Opposition papers by
hawkers on the streets and at the news
stands. NJ. de Fourtou, the Minister of the
Interior, whose real surname is Bardy, seems
to have forgotten the great historical fact
that the downfall of Charles x. in 1880 and
of Louis Philippe in 1S4S was preciptated by

and ''The Sea Captain" subsequently re-
produced on the stage as "The Rightful
Heir" The unacted dramas are ''Walpole !;
Every Man Has His Price," rhymed piece
and posthumous play, the name of which
has not reached us, which, it is said, will be
performed at one of the theatres in New
York next month. 1t is understood that
this, which was found imperfect among Lord
Lytton's papers, has been finished by Mr..
Coghlan, who, as yet, appears to be rather
unknown in literature. A new and good
play by Bulwer would be winning card, if
even toleraby well performed, in the hands
of good manager.
