New York Herald Opinions.
NEW YORK, March 8.-rEe Herald edi-
torially praises President Hayes for his
tirmness and steadiness of purpose in
following up his first inaugural with a
judicious Cabinet selection. 1t says the
Democratic Senators will stultify
themselves and desert their princi-
Piles ii they permit the Cabinet
nominations to be beaten. They
are strong enough in the Senate
to give Hayes victory over his Repub.
lican opponents in every trial OF
strength. They will lower themselves
and their party in the public estimation
If they do not come to his rescue when
he is assailed for his patriotic desire 10
do justice to the Soulh.
Tne Herald refers to Tilden's letter oil
acceptance, argues that Hayes is en-.
deaVoring to carry out the pledges made
by Tilden, and says it is the plain duty
Of the Democratic Senators to vote as a
unit for the confirmation of Hayes Cab.
met when Its members have SO obvi
ously been selected to carry out a policy
| TO which they are committed.
The Tribune
special from Washington says General
Edward f. Noyes, of Ohio, will be ten
dered the mission to France, in place o
Washburne, and he will undoubtedly
accept. Washburne has just returned
| here from France.
Gen. Comfy, editor Of the Ohio State
journal, will be made United States Min
| isLer 10 the Hawaiian Islands, provided
his health enables him to IN. ike the jour-
ney.
Hon. E. b. Washburne, United States
Minister to France, WHO arrived from
Europe Monday, states that his return
TO the United otales has no political im-
port. He came home OIL private business.
He intends visiting his family homestead
in Maine, he would then proceed to his
home in Gllena, Illinois, and spend q
few days with his town people. 1t BIT
went TO Washington at all, it would no
be within week. He intends return
| ing to Paris early in April.
The Times
characterizes lhe action of the Senate
in referring the Cabinet nominations
to appropriate committees as puerile. II
says: From the moment HAYES pub
lished his letter OF acceptance 1t was
perfectly obvious that his election
mus be followed by a conflict with the
Sena orial ring, which has succeeded in
usurping the appointing power of the
Executive and making Civil Service Re.
form "A practical impossiDility. 1t be.
lieves that Hayes himself recognized
this fact and calculated the CONSEQUENCE
Of the struggle.
The Times further says: In any con.
test to regain the surrendete ed rights oil
the Executive he will nave the vast
majority of honest aud intelligent men
on his side, and the somewhat spiteiul
resurrection Of a discarded rule to delay
il not defeat the confirmation OF his Cab
iuet nominations will certainly not
heighten the popular regard Tor the
methods or the motives OF the maj jori ty
lii the Senate.
The World
opposes Keys confirmation, and says
every Democratic Senator ought to vote
against it, as his appointment, il ap
proved and confirmed by Demo
cratic votes, might compromise the
party, and tend to diminish
the guarantees that the time and policy
Of the Democrats would be carried out.
The only assistance to be extended to
Hayes by Democrats must be solely
with the view OF saving local liberty in
South Carolina and Louisiana: and this
can only be by unity aud deliberati0n
Trough the Democratic organizations.
The World editorially argues that the
nomination Of Key to Cabinet position
means that Hayes intends TO shaps his
policy i'll accordance with that OF the
Democracy, or that he expects Demo
Gratis so selected to forsake their prin
ciples and take part in an intrigue to
disrupt their own party. 1t main
tains that Hayes has not a JUS,
title to the Presidency, and that no
Democrat can accept otfice under him
without becoming a participator in the
fraud by which he was made Chief
Magis trate.
