CINCINNATI, September lO-A CORES
pendent of the evening Times" who inter-
viewed President Hayes while en- route to
Fremont, asked the President how he came
to construct his policy which was seemingly
so at variance with his recent views; did it
grow upon him gradually as circumstances
require? The President replied as follows:
"Well, those views began to take form in
the wards of my
LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
l considered the situation of things in the
South; saw how impossible it seemed to be
to restore order, and peace and harmony
saw the violence and blOodshed at their
elections; how white Republ cans as we'll
as black were shot down during their polit-
ical contests, and asked myself why is it and
how long must il continue? Those men
down SoLth-the white, educated citizens,
are as goO.. as you or /; they are christians,
not thieves nor cut threats, nor bandits, vet
they zee thee things, and
TACITLY APPROVE OF THEM,
Ii they do not take part in them. Why
is it, and how long will they continue.
While thinking these questions over, my
mind reverted 10 the scenes Of the war, and
an incident at the battle of Cedar Noun
tain came to my mind. 1t was a hard
faus hit engagement, and for time We could
no, tell how it would end. We who were
in command had determined that ii

orders would be given. With our field
glasses We were watching the course Of
things, when all at once | saw commotion
in the thickest of the fray the artillery had
got to work and were throwing shells fast,
and with unerring aim into the solid ranks
Of the enemy; heads were being
BLOWN FROM THEIR BODIES,
arms and legs torn from their sockets, and
souls were being sent to one world or the
other, all unprepared, and yet reioioed and
congratulated my fellow officers that We
were victorious. How could this be ?AWhy
was it? 1t was because we were at war.
That one word solved the problem of the
South. The people there were at war
there was a conflict going on the social
and political relations of the people were
not natural, not harmonious there were
llsTUBING ELEMENTS
among them, and while they existed or
were unduly active there would be conflict.
Let the causes Of their conflict he removed
and there will be peace, and, ultimately,
harmony and prosperity.

Committeeman Cornell.
IGlObe Democrat

A.B. Cornell, Chairman of the New York
Republican State Committee, and Naval
Officer of the Port of New York, has sta
toned himself in front Of the Presidents
civil service order like COW in front Of .
locomotive, and public opinion is unable TO
decide whether it was worse for the COW or
for the locomotive. Mr.. Cornell disclaims
any intention Of giving offense his politi-
cal duties are purely ministerial, and Is
the State Convention has already been call
ed, and thus his ministerial functions have
been discharged, he can not believe that
the purity Of the civil service can be i'm
paired by his continuing to hold 80 very
innocuOus q position.

Kansas Clty Times.
The New York Heraids report Of Govern
or Anthony's speech at the reception of the
visiting governors in that city, shows that
he breathes freer the farther he goes from
the rude ia mers Of Kansas, and that his
convictions more proudly ASSERT themselves
the nearer ne gets to Wall street and to the
locality OF his former triumphant dealings
with the cheesemakers of the west. THE
recent agitation about labor and capital"
said he, was only the reaping Of the harvest
OF demagogueisni: Ii was the demagogue
that told the laborers they were oppressed"
This is the kind of talk the eastern capt.
talist in his marble halls likes to hear from
a western Governor. 1t assures him that
the western people still put faith in lead
ers who deuounce a. demagGguism every
idea that is not pleasing to him or condu-
Give 10 his profit. 1t the same pleasing
strain Governor ANTHONY said:
Ifthe halls of Congress could be locked up
70. the next live years and the Sta.e legisla-
lures 70: the next ten years and the people
sponsioi",ie> hey would be a n eater people
AT the end q, ina, tine tnau o. nerwise. Less
politics and moe potatoes are wanted.
lI.aughtcr.l 1.-THE business men of the country
could only be certain that there would be no
tamperirg o. tinkering with the currency
question ,Or the next nve VI arS, the country
would soon return To specie payments. liz
his STATE the peopi. were clamOring for green
backs. lie told them TO dig and obtain some
lining with which 10 buy greent,acks, and
there would liz plenty Of them forthcoming.
Inasmuch As the capitalists and corpora
tions and the subsidy rings have had every
thing their own way 30 long, and have got
silver demonetized and the resumption act
passed, and there is a prospect that the peo-
pie will now take hold for while and undo
some Of these snug arrangements. Governor
Anthony now wants the halls of Congress
locked up for five years and State legislatures
abolished Tor ten years, to prevent the peo-
pie from asserting themselves and resisting
the wrongs that are imposed upon them.
He considers them q precious lot of fools,
ignorant of what is good for them and unfit
10 be trusted with legislation and the control
OF government policy. That is to be re-
served as the exclusive privilege of bankers,
railroad kings, capitalists and confidence
spectators in Western cheese. And now
when these wise men have got the laws fixed
up TO suit themselves, let the people be
bound and gagged in politics for ten years..
Their business is to dig and not to NEEDLE
with AFFAIR." OF state. Less politics and
more potatoes" Tor cheese says Governor
Anthony, are wanted from them. If any
body says they ever were or ever will be
cheated out of their cheese, let him be de-
nouneed as a demagogue.

The opinion has now become pretty
unanimous among our commercial men
that the interests Of this country require

that President Hayes intends to make such
treaties conspicuous part Of his policy.

nishes him with provisions at prices at least
one hundred per cent in advance Of the

work at such prices.' Ii is because they
are destitute, and see no other relief. Then
why don't they buy their provisions at the

ask why don't they go TO some other state? ?"

IGNORANCE REIGNs SUPREME,
and the chances for education are not in the
land. The wealthy send their children
away to be educated, and they would not
allow even a newspaper to fall into the
hands of a laborer. Some of US imagine
that after the wheels of the northern cannon
had gone crushing through this country,
that such rude things As
WOODEN PLoUGHs
yankee notions had taken root; but they
did not take root. The people were only
scared little for . time, and then they all
settled back to their old ways. They are as
great slaves to ignorance and hard labor to-
day as they ever were, The war closed and
freed them to be sure; but they were left
with nothing and nothing remains with
them still. Here they are, and increasing.
Increasing in everything but intelligence,
money and morals. And yet We talk loud
and long about sending missionaries and
Bibles to Africa to convert and
EDUCATE THE HEATHER.
We forget, that close to our homes, and
in the land of freedom and enlightenment,
and almost in the very shadows Of college
domes and church spires, we find ignorance,
corruption and blight lowering over thou
sands of our fellOwmen.
Now, is there no place in this broad land
OF ours where the hungry, oppressed and
poverty-stricken may have a chance to help
themselves? Is there no one to lend help
ing hand? If the colored people, alone, Of
the North and West, who were once in the
same condition, and who are now enjoying
ease and plenty, would but give some OF the
surplus change they are now wasting for the
unnecessaries Of life, it would relieve hun
dreds of the hungry, and as q race, We
would be respected none the less

CONDITION OF THE POORER
CLASSES IN THE SOUTH.

Alter an absence Of many years from the
old plantation in South Carolina, l resolved
once more to see the old folks at home.
When left the chains of slavery had not
vet fallen from the South, and after living
twelve years a freeman in Kansas, l was
not little surprised to find that the poorer
classes of the South were in such a deplora-
BILE condition. And vet this is land Of
freedom, land of civilized charity, and
land full of philanthropie-, though sadly
misled and often instructed.
STILL IN SLAVERY
In remote localities Of the South, slavery
exists in 2 worse form to-day than it did
twenty years ago. The colored man who
was a slave twenty years ago vas compelled
to labor, TO be sure, but he generally receiv-
ed food and raiment enough for himself and
family. The slave Of twenty years ago is q
free man to-day, but the peck Of meal and
three pounds of meat, are meeted out to
him from the old sHoke-house door at the
close Of each week, just the same as they
used to be.

perhaps of how the property owners forced

them with starvation by cutting off supplies
