We do not know where to lay blnme,
but there Is something virtually wrong
about our Lower Coast mail. Since the
present contractor has had charge OF
this mail route, no one can form any idea
when the mail will arrive or depart
whether at all or not. There Is some
thing consoling In the idea that when
you deposit letter. newspaper or pack
age in the post office, to be transported
to New Orleans or some other post office
Immediately on the line, that 1t will
certainly reach its destination in the
course OF few weeks; but we are de-
prived Of even this small consolation.
Three-fourths Of the mail matter Of
this coast is now carried by private con-
veyance, without paying postage, simply
because there is no dependence to be
placed In the mail service, thereby los
ing more to the government than it
would cost extra to pay regular first
class boat like the Martha to carry the
mail, besides inconveniencing this en-
tire coast and endangering the loss Of
the entire mail, including Mr.. Beebe,

ENDORSING HAYES.
North Carolina Republicans Fall in Line
Aelx. H, Stephens View Of the Future.

WASHINGTON, April 2i.-Col. Thos. 3.
Keogh, chairman of the North Carolina
Republican state committee, is out IN
letter, announcing his support Of Presi-
dent Hayes Southern policy. lie says
in the letter.
president Hayes has undertaken the
task of giving lis that political rest and
cessation from party strife which our
people so much crave. Our press and our
public men should give him hearty sup
port i'm his noble efforts to bring about
good feeling in the South and remove
the causes of our trouble. Republicans
are with him heart and soul. Tranquility
and prosperity are within our reach, and
can be secured il Democrats will only
join us i'm accepting these blessings a.
the hands of Republican president.
Time will show whether patriotism shall
conquer prejudice
All. STEPHENS SENTIMENTS.
Alexander ii. Stephens, in the course
Of an interview tonight, expressed the
opinion that as the policy OF President
Hayes is enforced one by one the clam.
orers against him will hush their noise,
abandon their opposition and fall into
the line OF the advancing columns. AS
for myself, for the first time in twenty
years 1 see hopeful future tor our COM
mon country. Black men and white
stand equal before the law. The affairs
of state arc to be governed by local au
thority. Federal action is TO be confined
within its constitutional restrictions.

SOUTHERN KADICALIsM.

Southern Republicans are preparing TO
adapt themselves to the new order Of
things with the best graz possible; and
it is now given out that the much. talked
of revolt in the Republican party will
not be serious. The leaders of the party
in the South are reconciling themselVe 5
as fast as possible. and are preparing TO
support the administration in the work
Of pacification. This change is perhaps
easily accounted for. Southern Republi-
cans are, as a rule, "a class OF men who care
more tor the tai offices at the disposal Of
the administration than they do tor the
principles OF the Republican party. and
they would willingly sacrifice the one to
obtain the other. They are well aware
that to fight the president is TO surren-
der all claims upon him in the bestowal
OF patronage, and that the loss of power
TO control appointments in the south
is to them political death. To
this cause perhaps more than TO
any other may be attributed the haste
with which Southern Republicans are
preparing TO swing into line and lend to
Mr.. Hayes and his new policy their sup
port. A number of Southern Republic
cans who at first announced that they
would act with the Demo
Gratis and pass the senate
as well as the house, over to the oppo-
sition at the coming session OF congress,
baye written letter TO Senator Nor
ton, in which they advocate their reason
for surrendering to the president and CIV
ing TO his new policy their support; and
ii is now probable that when Blaine and
Morton come to count their forces tor the
fight against Hayes, they will find that
they have been deserted by the great
mass OF Southern Republicans who in
the past have given them so much
support and encouragement. The aver
age Southern Republican is a man capa-
bic OF sacrificing everything for power,
and in the present instance it could not
be expected that they would act on any
other principles.

SOUTH CAROLINA.


COLUMBIA, S. c., April 2i.-The gen.
eral assembly met 10 extra session on the
call Of Gov. Hampton.
In the house proceedings were confined
to calling the roll OF the Wallace house as
it stood when 1t adjourned in December
with sixty-nine members names. The
members OF the Aackey house were not
put on the roll. and no action has yet
been taken concerning them.
In the senate former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Gleaves called the body to order
and made farewell address, Insisting
that he was legally elected, but that fur
tn resis' nee was futile. Swails, pres
ident pro tem.. took the chair, and mo-
ton was adopted for committee to
wait on Simpson, Hampton's lieutenant
governor, and swear him in.
Simpson came forward and told the
senate that he already had been declared
elected ar had qualified with Hampton
last December, and no power on earth
could make him take an oath of office
again. After some discussion the senate
reconsidered its action and struck out
the provision for swearing in. Simpso n
then took a seat and made briet speech,
urging harmony and strict regard for
the rights and privileges Of all classes.

a motion was then made to swear In
The three Democrats from Edgheld,

The senate now stands 20 Democrat
and is Republicans, but one Republican

WAR between Russia and Turkey Is
now settled fact. The Cars mani
festo 10 the Russian army and people
was promulgated on Tuesday, and the
army was at once put under marching
orders. The Turks are also on the
move, and that a bloody battle will be
fought soon is no longer matter of
doubt. The eastern question: which
has hung in the balance for so long a
time. Is at last to be
settled by resort to arms.
The war begins with Russia
and Turkey as the contestants; but where
or when it will end is matter that the
future alone can determine. All Europe
is Interested, and it may be that all the
great powers Of the continent will be
drawn into the struggle. Time only can
determine to what magnitude the war
which has just commenced will attain;
but one thing is certain, this struggle
will test the strength of some OF the
European powers, and il they are swol-
lowed up by it, it will be no great won
