From Our Regular Correspondent, .,l.l. iI /
The snubbing, coaxing, cooing policy
of the new administration is all the rage
just now. 1t has proved q perfect liver
regulator and soothing syrup; even the
icarpet-baggers cry for 1t. The chief
cause of its precious popularity is thasie
comes after Grant. Anything to beat
Grant" seems TO be the text of the present
administration, and, with this sound
prologue the presidential, theme hscomes
wonderfully plain and simple. The
policy consists chiefly in'reversfng things.
But almost any administration will beat
Grants, Because in Grant we had
reached the bottom. At the end of the
frat century tofi onrl pilgrimage we may

/ No doubt but the fact that affairs were
desperately at their worst, and must of
necessity improve, will go far toward
reconciling tie country to the fraudulent
tenure of the present executive. Gov.
Hayes is in many respects the antithesis
of Gen. Grant. He Is a better man, a
better gentleman, and an incomparabfy
better statesman, The new Cabinet is,
in many features, the moral and political
antipode of the old. Where would it be
possible to find sharper contrasts than
are presented in Key and Tyner; in the
Ierudite Schurz and the Ignorant, vulgar,
and dishonest Chandler; in the common
peace Fish and the brilliant Everts.
Secretaries Of State are equally unlovely,
and the man who voluntarily Joined hands
with Wells and Chandler to steal the
Presidency, may not stand up In the tenn
pie and thank God that he Is better than
the publican who has sat for eight years
among the legal advisers Of Gen. Grant.
But tits not only in the executive and
the cabinet that the new is an improve
ment upon the old. Tho wife and family
or Mr.. Hayes present several points of
advantageous contrast with the domestic
circle of the recent administration. Mrs.
Hayes Is perhaps not the Intellectual su-
perior of Mrs. Grant, who was an estima-
pie woman, and, had not her influence
been coufteracted by nature and bad as
sociations, she would have done even
more than she did to redeem the malad-
ministraiton Of her husband. But Mrs,
Hayes has had the advantage of long fa-
miliarity with the usages and customs of
good society; she has acquired to the per-
feetion Of second nature, the little civili-
use an elegant figure, are the axle-greese
of the selfish, polite world. ,.r-.,.-.
l. Social intercourse at the capital has
always the appearance and smooth
ness of oiled gudgeons, but the fault
of the lubricatiDg material has been
that it smelled. 1t has been made
loderous, by Babcock, Belknap, Boss
shepard, Dick Harrington, Landaulet
Williams, Parson Newman, and some
females whom, since they were once
women, I will not mention by name,
Apropos of Parson Newman, who has
been the pastor and beneficiary of the
ex-president. It is said that he called
upon Mr.. Hayes and urged him to ac-
cent the pew formerly occupied by
Gen. Grant. But the present execu-
tive declined saying, systematically,
, pew of the ex-president who was still
in the city. To this the Rev. Newman
replied: Gen. Grant can have the
!, Vice President's Pew. But, on Sun
day, Gsv. and Mrs. Hayes walked to
the Foundry Methodist Church on the
corner of 18th and G. st., two squares
from the White House, where, it is
said Mr.. Hayes sang in loud and
clear voice. OF course the humiliation
land chagrin of DR.. Newman and his con
gregation is only eQualed by that Of
Blaine and Cameron. Let them all
resign, abdicate in favor of their sone,
their country, honesty, and common
decency.
/ The resignation of the imbecile
lachrymols old senatorial fraud who
has for years made the second state of
the union contemplate in the Senate,
was very general surprise, and has
been the subject of more comment than
any thing that has occurred since the
nomination of the new cabinet. It is
now quiet evident that the resignation
was entirely in the interest of his son
Don., for whom the old schemer is
ambitious, and who is not without
ambition of his own. The concentra-
ted influence of PENNSYLVANIA was
brought to secure Don Camerens re-
tention in the cabinet but, in spite of
his great political strength, and the
i fact that he was co-equal and co-evil
with Wells, Chandler, and Bradley, in
the nape Of the Presidency, he was
compeled to surrender the sword of
his father. But the old man Is able to
console his darling sonny. He wraps
him in his own desecfated senatorial
toga, and the heir comes into the sue
cession through the action of corrupt
subservient legislature as naturally as
Alphonso might have succeeded Issa-
bella, had Spain been free State of
the GLORIOUS Republic, instead of an
effete despotism. Lets give Pennsy1-
vania another centennial, right of and
rehallow the memory of the founders.
