SOUTHERN POLICY.
CONFEDERATE y ROADS,
| (Which is in the State Of kentucky,) :
April &c, 1877. J
Ef the yoorserper Hayes don't find hisself
into muss with his party, in less than a
month, am mistaken. | hev bin in New
York and hev observed the indicashens
| Thr-c is a storm brewin wich will break
ont his devotid head, and sweep him from
the face Nv the political earth. 1t is newt
able. Them ez wuz most instrumentle in
clectin him, are desertin Nv him. Their
amt one Nv EN- that bieeyes in his Southern
policy.
The follerin from my diary, while in Moo
York, will perhaps show the sitooashen ez
clearly ez anything:
MOnday-Met gentleman in bar-room.
Red nose, and evidently in bilyus circum-
stances, and, ez it were, constipated tinan-
sht iy asked him how he wuz pleased with
the Administrator; replide that he'd alluz
bin Republican, and he'd cherished the
hope for menny yeers that he shood die in
the loyin embrace Nv that gelloriOus party.
But he wuz afeerd that it he'd run its course.
Coodent approve NV the Presidents South
ern pOlisy, and felt that for the perteckshun
Nv the niger, he should be driven into the
arms Nv the Dimocrisy. No party Good
live wich didn't take care OF its workers.
He Good put his hand on his heart and say
that the fact that he he'd bin suddenly drop
ped out nv place in the Custom House he'd
| nothin to do with his present posishun, but
when he looked to the strugglin Republi
kins Nv the South, and saw how they he'd
bin treseid by the President he felt that he
Good do nuthin less than 90 over to the
DimOcrisy. Teerlully acceptid an invutashen
t otake suthin, and with great iutility at
temptid to borrow a dollar Nv me, wich is
on the same lay, and pcnsively departed.
Met him sevral times that day, with per-
petyOoal repeets Nv the same talk, and, with
respect to bOrrowin, repeets Nv the some ex-
perlenee.
Toosday-Gentleman with protoOberant
abdomen. Resides neer Rochester. but hez
bin the habit Nv comm to Moo York, wunst
a month. to draw his salary from the Gus
tom House. Is NV the opinyun that IIayc>es
Southern polisy is a faleyoor. Don't keer
a straw about his bein turned out Nv his
place, but weers when he thinks Nv the Re-
publikin Nv the South BEN abandoned by
the President. Commenst sheddin pearly
teers over the abandonment, the morning
he wuz discharged. Wood hev distilled the
briny sooner, but never he'd time TO think
Nv it. Shell either organize a new party on
the basis Nv protectin the niggers in the
South, or jine the Dimocriey-ain't shoor
wich Is convinst that suthin ought to be
done, there bein crisis and Freedom lynn
gaspin. Felt when he received his dis
missal that the war he'd bin fought in vane,
and that he he'd lost all the froots Nv victry.
Is wondrin if Tweed will reely rise and take
possession Nv the government Nv the city
when he is discharged
Wensdy-Thin party yehemently denoun-
sin Hayses polisy. Denounsin the abandon
ment Nv the Republicans Nv the South, with
tecrs in his eyes. Considers the country
hangin on the verge w rooin. Came down
here with letter from his member Nv COngris
askin that h1be appinted to a eighteen hun
dred dollar place in the Custom House.
Collector Arthur onfeelingly remarkt that
wuzn't any vacancies, nor any prospeck Nv
ther ever ben one. and that he he'd better
20 home and 90 to work Wantid to know
ef this wuz the way to bring about reform?
Bleeyed in civil service reform, but also
bleeyed that We ought to come to it very
gradoOally. Don't care so much about not
gittin his place, altho he ought to hey it,
but he felt like weepin when he thought Nv
the abandonment u, the Republicans Nv the
South by the President. Isn't shoor but
that, in order to sekoor the full iroots NV the
war for the YOonun, he will yit be obliged
to cast in his lot with the Dimocrisy. Shel
wait and see. Hopes for the best, but
spends the heft Nv his time a tremblin for
his country Wantid to borrer a dollar.
And SO on While | bleeve that the
President has disrupted his party, shood
hev liked the prospeck better eft | Good hev
seen more bizness classes jinin denunsiashun
Nv his policy. and ef it tedn't bin so ex-
cloosively confined to gentlemen with illum
mated counteances. hev no objeckshun
to red noses, for mine is not Nv the pearly
tint wch lovers Nv buty prefer, bein ruther
a beekun lite; but know that it ANITA
iayorit color among the pe"rlr, OnleSs one
kin get medikle certifklt that he aquired
it by disease, or some pekoolyer diet. Like
wise it wood be better ef the disapprovers.
ez rool. didn't hev unsuccessful letters

dokiments dismissin NV en-, carefully con-
seeled in ther clothes. These things are
calkilatid to rase doubts, in the minds uv
narrer men, Nv the disintcre>tidniS Nv ther
denunsiashuns. But hev this comfort
they kin all yawp, and all the people don't
know the impellIn motive Nv the yawp.

shOodeht like to be in his place. While |
the innocent man waz in dcd ernest. when |
he pledged hisself to civil servis reform

in fun about it. And now that it is stern
