HAYES ON THE DEFENSIVE.

philadelphia Tmes.l
President and secretaries seem to have
been continually on the defensive. They
seemed to take it for granted that an
explanation OF some kind was expected,
and this was as evident in the manner as
in the matter Of what was said, The
president has felt called upon either to
ignore the living questions of the day in
meeting the people face to face, or allude
thereto in general terms and with a
depreciation Of criticism and an appeal
Tor suspension of Judgment, while all
the secretaries, except Mr.. key, have
thought it well to say a good word for
the president, and Mr.. Key has been
principally engaged in apologizlng for
his own existence as a member OF the
administration. We can not think that
this sort of thing makes a favorable
impression. II MIR. Hayes conscientious
iy believes that he is the rIghtiul
executive of this nation; that his
constitutional advisers have been judicial
ly chosen, and that his policy is
founded on justice and honesty, why
mince words about it: Isn't it about
time to stop handling civil service
with kid gloves and treating the prac~
tlce of the doctrine of federal non-inter-
yentiOn IN state matters as an expert
ment! The people would he better
pleased if Mr.. Hayes would talk a little
more as il he meant business in these
matters. a sensitveness as TO title to
office is natural; that however, may be
fairly coveredby the ample folds OF the
electoral act. But there Is no Use tor
the dainty handling of the business of the
day. If these topics are touched upon at
all, we have a right to expect that they
shall be discussed in a manly and
thoughtful way.

In New Jersey Tuesday was "shecp

each year the township committee are in
session to receive complaints from farm

state the number and value OF the sheep
which have been killed by dogs during
the year. These losses are paid accord

obtained by tax upon dogs owned in
the township. Should this fund be in

dogs, not exceeding s. on each.

President Hayes, and it is believed that his
in duential journal reflects the views of the
administration.
Democratic Senator MerrimOn, of North
Carolina, wrote to Postmaster General Key
last Saturday, asking if the Democrats may
expect share in filing the offices of the
postal department., and if recommendations
of Senators and Representatives would be
considered in making appointments therein.
Much to the astOnishment of the Demo-
Gratis, Postmaster General Key replied that
in filling any vacancies that may occur in
the postal service in the Southern as
we'll as Northern States, preference in
all cases will be given to Republican sp-
plicants. other things, of course, being
equal. Ia cases where two applicants
of opposing politics, but of equal
merit otherwise are presented, the Repub-
lican will be appointed. As to congress
sionsl appointments, Postmaster General
Key informed Senator Merrimon that they
would always be willingly received, but
would not be regarded as binding by the
Postofioe Department.
The correspondence is not invigorating to
the average Democratic mind, and, Of
course, is not telegraphed southwark very
extensively by energetic Democratic cor.
respondents. D. d. c.

THE UNDETECTED AssAssINs.

The latest news from West Feliciana is
that the coroner's jury has had before it
many witnesses, but no evidence has been
elected going to show who murdered
Weber, the leading white Republican of
that parish, two weeks ago. He was as
sassinated at midday, in the heart of the
town-shot by simultaneous discharge
of half dozen shotguns from the court
house window, at time when some half
a dozen of Mr.. Nichols officials were
present in the building. The names of
these men are known, yet the coroner has
been unable to find any clue to the crime.
General Nichols published an offer of a
reward of five thousand dollars for the
apprehension of the offenders, as he
styles them, declaring his intention to
punish crime and repress lawlessness
throughout the State" This was un-
doubtedly done to secure himself from
censure at the North, for none know so
well as his own confidential friends in
that parish who the men were that added
the name of Weber to the long list of
those who have been murdered in this
State because they were Republicans.

TIE UNITED STATES SENATE.

On Thursday last the Vice President laid
before the Senate Mr.. Mitchell's resolution
to investigate the charges against Grover
when Mr.. Salisbury submitted a substitute
that the Committee on Privileges and Eee,
tions be instructed tdappoint the judge OF
the fourth judicial district OF Oregon as
commissioner to take testimony relating to
the charges against Grover, with power TO
subpoena witnesses; said testim 0ny TO be for
warded to the Committee on Privileges and
Elections, which shall report the same with
their conclusions thereon at the next regu-
lar session of the Senate. Some discussion
took place on the resolution, pending which
the Senate went into executive session.
After the doors closed message was re-
ceived from the President transmitting va
riOus nominations, and also notifying the
Senate that he had no further commUnica-
tiOns TO make.
At half.past two O'Clock the doors were
reOpened and the Senate adjourned.
In executive session Thursday Mr.. Dorsey,
chairman of the Committee on the District
of Columbia, reported back the nomination
of Frederick Douglass TO be marshal OF the
District, with the recommendation that it
be confirmed. One objection being made to
it's immediate consideration, it went over
under the rule until Friday.
In executive sessiOn in the Senate on Fri
day there was a debate, lasting an hour and
q half, concerning the nomination OF Fred
erick Douglass. Senator COnkling made
the principal speech in favor of its eontirma-
ton, and Senator Whyte was the most
prominent of the few speakers against it,
The arguments advanced by the Opposi-
ton were addressed solely to the question
of the business qualifications of Mr.. Doug
lass for this particular appointment, and
especial stress was laid on the fact that the
Bar Association opposed his confirmation
on the ground that in their opinion he
could not successfully administer the affairs
of the office. The nomination WAS, how
ever, confirmed ON a yea and nay vote. No
Republican voted against 1t, and Gordon,
Hill, Beck and Garland, with one or two
other Democrats, voted for its confirmation.
Il is understood Lamar, who was absent on
ACCOUNT Of illness, would have voted yea il
present.
Mr. Morton formally declined the chair.
manship Of the FOREIGN Relations COmmit-
tee, and the position viii be dlled by Mr.
Hamlin, who has accepted it. AF. Ferry
has been made chairman Of tie Postal

ANOTHER SETBACK,

Alas after all, the promises of fat
places to the hungry Southern Democracy
are not to be kept. 1t was fond delu-
sion in the hearts of the bulldozers, that
the good things of the administration
were to be divided among them; but since
Keys letter to Merrimon this hope is
Pickering out. There is one reserved
condition: Where there are no Republic
ans competent, Democrats may have the
coveted pl aces. West Feliciana and De
Soto have already anticipated this pro-
vision, and the friends of ''local self
government" have established their claims
by assinating Weber and Moore. Had
these men lived they might have been
commissioned by Key; or, being natives
of the State, might have satisfied Sher-
mans conditions on the ground of ma
tivity Now that they are put out of the
way, their assassins may entertain the
hope of having their merits recognized.

Besides bulldozing, the Democrats have
two ways of evading the law and getting
rid of Republican officials. One way is
to destroy the Office by dividing the juris-
diction among other officers. This, Mr..
Nichols, as in the case of Judge Fonte-
lieu, appears to disapprove. But greater
obstacle to the schemes of Democrats is
the Republican State Treasurer. They
can't take away his Office nor legislate
him out of is; but they have devised a
new assistant" treasurer, whose ''assist.
ance" is to be rendered whenever that Of
the Treasurer can not be obtained. In
other words, when the Treasurer can moi
be made to violate the law, the assistant
will do it willingly.
