EDITORIAL INKLINGS.
The President at Richmond.
- The President, and Mr.. Evarts, Mr.
Sherman, Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Devens, Of
his Cabinet, visited Richmond, last week, on
the occasion of the State fair. A warm and
hearty reception greeted the distinguished
party at the ex-Confederate capital. The
visitors, after being formally received, were
driven through the city, after which they were
conducted to the fairgrounds. Gov. Kempel
introduced the President in a neat speech, tc
which the President appropriately responded
The Cabinet officers followed the President
each telling what he knew about farming
when Mr.. B. johnson Barbour, of the Agrii
cultural Society, was called and made few
remarks, in which he heaped encomiums on
the wife Of President Hayes. The lady de
served, he thought, as much praise for the
Presidents Southern policy as the President
himself. She was in great measure instru.
mental in inaugurating it. Tremendous ap
plause.
The speaker said: "Allow me to introduce
Mrs. R. B. Hayes" Mrs. Hayes was sitting
near the railing of the porch, and when her
name was announced, she arose and bowed to
the multitude. The people all took off their
hats and waived them, cheering enthusiastic
cally. Mrs. Hayes was about to take her seat
when the cheering was renewed, and she re-
peated her acknowledgment.
The crowd was then dismissed, and the
Presidential party inspected the exhibition,
The Presidents Policy.
"A Washington letter writer furnishes
the following in reference to the Republican
opposition to President Hayes, and the prob,
ability of hitch in the confirmation of a
number of important Presidential nomina-
tions
The steady opposition of the Republican
leaders to the orders regulating the conduct of
ofice-holders in regard to elections, has had
the effect Of leading the President to think
that he may not be able to carry out his pol

think much of the original civil service policy
will be abandoned. At present it constitutes
a wall of separation between the President
and his party friends in Congress. On the
subject of his Southern policy, the President is
emphatic in declaring his purpose to adhere
to it, regardless of opposition. He says it is
too important to the peace and future Of the
country to be given up.
The administration has been exceedingly
anxious for an adjournment next week; but
the opinion of well-informed and judicious
members is that nothing of this kind is prac.
