The New Experiment.

Il is announced from Washis gton that
President Hayes will take the fret steps
toward the ''pacifcation" of the South next
week, by ordering the United States Tr0ops
from Louisiana and South Carolina. Then
the two parties will be lett to their own de-
vices, and the one that manages to tumble
the other from the seat of power will bs
recognized" by the powers at Wash
ington. This newly invented system of
establishing q government it Is sup-
posed, will result in incalculable benefit
tO-the Democratic party, IL ia based
on the result of ages Of reasoning,
that the strongest, lncst aggressive, and
most bullying of men are the greatest
and most deserving of reverence. Might
it seems is to make right-a hattering con-
fession of the advancement OF the nine
teenth century. The dispatch which brings
this interesting intelligence says;
"The Southern whites will be trusted
once more. They will be left to settle their
own State affairs, as the people of other
States would do.n
The ay the whites of the South ''settle''
their political affairs is somewhat peculiar.
When the rifle clubs swarmed through the
streets of Charleston, armed and equipped,
and the White LeRguere responded to the
tap of the drum and assembled in masses
in New Orleans, the country was given an
inkling Of the way political differences
would be ''settled" if the decision we're left
to them. But it is e0ntended that 3
government not able 20 sustain itself
ought of necessity to fall. So it ought
ordinarily; but the shallow and superficial
people who would make the same applica.
ton in the cases of Louisiana and South
Carolina are incapAeitated by nature from
getting beyond the surface Of things, and
they therefore can not perceive that rad.
ical difference exists between the condition

Imagine cur foreign population possessed
of the same intense prtjudices that fire sC
