IT will be a lasting honor to President
HAYES that his Southern policy was not
| determined on as q conservation OF party,
but as high patriotic measure, in en-
tire disregard of party, and history will
declare that the result was most happy,
whether Republican control was estab-
| hshed in the south or not.-Phit0det-

A LOUISIANA politician was heard to
say in Washington, recently, concern
ing the quarrelsome propensities OF the
citizens of his State, that if ''they were
transported to Heaven in body to-day
they would be in a row before night
about the distribution of Seats The
bare supposition of such a wholesale
transportation gives the plan of saliva
ton a tremendous wrench.-N. 7. Iri

THE sincerity and honesty of Mr.
Hayes, as we'll as the skill with which ht
states his views and purposes, are adj
mitted by every one who has called
upon him. It is impossible for them tc
quarrel with him, and all they can do /:
to fall in with the new order of things
and await the results of the President
course in the outh.-BOsto3l Herald
THE number of immigrants arriving
at New York for ten months of this yea
was SO, O35, falling off from the CORES
bonding time in 1876 or u, 54i. The
probability is that immigration will no
again reach the large numbers of pas
years, although a marked improvement
of business would be likely to increas'
very considerably the figures OF thi
year. There is yet room for many
thousands of immigrants in the west
and they could do well, but it is prob
ably true that the advantages are no
now so great as they have been.
