Omce-Hunting

We would not censure any South
ern man for accepting Federal po-
sition that might be offered him in
the spirit Of conoiliation that has
been avowed by the President. Ger
tainly no ungraceful surliness should
be manifested By any man where he
is offered a position in which he
may help to remove the expressions
of the people and relieve them from
things distasteful and offensive. But
we certaidly do not admire anything
like an office-seeking pressure
brought to bear upon the Admins
tration by southern people who have
been Conservatives, and have no
peculiar claims upon the considera.
ton of Mr.. Hayes. They do not
thus elicit the appreciation of their
fellow oitizens, and they but help 20
block the way to Cancellation. 1t
must be unpleasant to the Admins
tration, and tend TO confusion in the
conciliatory policy TO have a shower
of applications from the Conserva-
tive party of the South at this time.
1t will not be difficult for Mr.. Hayes
to find out proper men, if he really
desires to have such, and his way
will not have much light thrown on
it by crowds.

one of Morton's henchmen. and the

going on in the great world outside,
and especially in the New England
part of the great world. There are
things going on that our people
would be the better off if they never
knew anything about. There are
people up in that highly moral and
SIMULTANEOUSLY pious region who
claim that they have invented bet

Savior of mankind, and higher sys-

and made speeches and passed res

hair in the middle, and put lilly
white on their cheeks; and hollow
eyed old women who wore their
hair cut short and parted at the
side. The disgusting monstrosities
made all sorts of obscene speeches !;
denounced the Christian religion as
it is at present practiced, denounced
the laws which punish infidelity.
