British Opinion.

read what the STANDARD, of London,
says cditorially about the election of
Hayes:
"lt matters comparatively little 20
Northern citizens who is President.
Mr.. Hayes can cause but little injury
Or annoyance to his Northern oppo-
ncnts. In the South the case is very
different Republican rule there
means, and has meant ever since the
war, gross misgoycrnmcnt; taxation
SO heavy rs to render fertile and cult
waited lands comparatively worthless,
and to ruin hundreds Of wcll-to-do
families; and every species Of vexa-
ton to which Il asupcrior race can be
subjected when placed by main force
under the feet Of cmancipatcd slaves,
utterly ignorant, naturally Violent
and passionate, AMI stimulated to
excuses by the government that
should restrain them"
That those sturdy British brains
take the measure Of our Uriah Heeps
is also apparent:
1T has become apparent to every
respectable and rational Northcrncr
that the rule Of The packurds, Stcar.
ncscs, Chambcrlails, Amcscs, is not
only opp cssivc and unconstitutional,
AMI cxasp Grating to the temper Of the
entire population oftheir States, but
also i'll the long lun injurious to the
negro himself, and deeply damaging
to the Republican party"
What they think 0! the probable
policy Of President Hayes appears i'll
this:
"To sustain these men by such un-
scrnpulous use Of the United States
army as that Which Till lately placed
Federal troops actua ly under the
orders of Republican, election mana
gers in the South would be dangerous
even to Il President with an uAdispu
ted title and a majority in Congress
TO Mr.. Hayes, known TO have obtain
ed his election by the ,liscreditable
manmuvres Of these very people, with
n narrow majority against him in the
|
in his favor in The Senate, such !,
cours" wculd be the height Of impru
dencc. Deeply "s he is indebted to
these men, we may doubt whether he
will try to sustain disrcpntabc aud
unpopular governments in scve.Al
States hy military force a.ains; the
undoubted wish Of every educated
ard property holding citizen therein,
ans! with avery doubtful warrant fro u
Federal law j nni, The moment
that the support 9th. Federal troops
is Withdrawn tic carpct,hag govern
slcnts will go to pieces and disappear
without struggle, aud The great
majority Of the negroes, who are in
capable of entertaining a real opinion
and choicc Of their own, no longer
controlled by the apparent authority
ofthc Federal government, will yield
readily to the natural influence Of
their white neighbors. Economy,
honesty, dcccncy in the administra-
ton, order, safety, quiet throughout
society will be restored, and the result
Of leaving the Southern States to
themselves will amply vindicate the
policy Of the Democrats"
Thus it is clear that the English
man thoroughly understands our
Chamberlains, Corbins and Cass Car
penters, and estimate them at their
true price. And these creatures real
izc their situation-are conscious Of
their own infamy know and fell that
they are "fNcd figures for the tim of
ecorn to point the slow and moving
finger at" They feel it.
