Yesterday morning the remains of a
man, cut and crushed into fragments, were

The account of the conference of repub-
licans held at Washington at the house of
Secretary Sherman, shows very general
agreement among those who participated
in opposition to the policy of President
Hayes in regard to the South and the civil
service. The result of the meeting
could not fail to convince the best friends
of the President, if they were not pre-
viously convinced, that his policy is APP
proved by but few of his party in Con-
gress. The calling of the meeting at the
house OF Secretary Sherman indicates a
desire on the part of the administration to
come to an understanding with the repub-
lican members. II President Hayes is
wise he will take heed to the utterances
at the meeting of these representatives
fresh from the people. They are much
more to be regarded than the batteries of
parasites and sycophants.

The question we want Mr.. Seelye, or
somebody like him, to ans yer is, How
can President Hayes be helped by firing
Andrew Johnson's rusty gunsP The diff
culties encountered by the President grow
out of the fear that, unconsciousy or
otherwise. he is carrying out Andrew
Johnson's ideas, and in this dilemma re
will not be greatly aided by declaration
from the the oracle of Amherst College that
johnson was right and the republican
party wrong. As a matter of argument,
no doubt Mr.. Seelye supplies the ground
upon which the Presidents action in South
Carolina and Louisiana can be most con-
sistently defended. Admit that the recon-
struction policy was from the beginning
indefensible, and that all exercise of au-
thority under it was unconstitutional and
impolitic, and the surrender of these
States to the democracy was measure
emiDently just. These. however, happen
to be admissions which the republican
party is not prepared to make. 1t is not

ciples it rested upon, or Of the legislation

sions out of the republican party during

The pensioning of rebel soldiers is not,
1t seems, the vain imagining of republ-

would have people believe. On Friday
Senator Merrimon of North Carolina quiz
city introduced bill providing for the re-
peal OF certain section of the Revised
Statutes. Under this title ii attracted nc
attention, and was referred, as he request
ed, to the committee On the judiciary. An
examination of the section he proposes to
repeal shows it to be the one which pro-
hibits payment of pensions to any
confederate soldier or widows or the
heirs of any such soldier The repeal of
this section would open pensions to all the
Confederate armies and to the families of
all who served in them.

If the civil service order of the President
was misunderstood, as Secretary Sherman
afflrms, it is somewhat remarkable that
the misunderstanding should have been SO
general as it has been, and that some OF
the able editors who have defended the
order should not have found out their mis-
take before this time. We presume the
Secretary knew what he was saying.
