4 LEAF FROM BRy WADES PoLITI
CAL HISTORY.

Hon. BENJAMIN F. WADE has issued a
manifesto against the Southern policy of
President HAYES in the sh ape of q letter
which has been published iu the columns
Of THE REPUBLICAN. In this letter he
refers to the part he took in securing
HAYES nomination at Cincinnati, and now
remembers his action then with ''indigua-
ton and bitterness OF soul that he never
felt before" This gentleman appears to
be in the habit of issuing manifestoes
against Republican Presidents whose ON.
cial acts do not entirely suit him, and even
Mr.. LINCOLN could not escape him. But
unfortunately for Mr.. WADE he Is not the
Republican party. 1t is coincidence that
the occasion Of his manifesto against Mr..
LINCOLN was the same as that which has
drawn out the letter against President
HAYES. Both had reference to the psci-
dcation Of the South and TO the establish.
ment Of peace in the State government in
Louisiana
Mr.. WADE was . Senator from Ohio in
the Thirty eighth Congress, and was chair
man Of the committee that had In charge
matters concerning the rebellious States.
A bill was reported at the first session to
guarantee to certain States a republican
form Of government. 1t provided for the
formation Of State governments by the peo-
pie Of the several States In rebellion under
certain conditions and limitations The
bill was discussed. amended and passed
both Houses. and in the Senate had bu,
three dissenting votes, and all Democratic.
That session of Congress closed on the 4,h
Of July. 1864. and the bill was passed and
presented to President LINCOLN within one
hour Of the adjournment sins die. The
President did not have time to examine il
and ID was not signed, and hence did not
become law.
Taking it for granted that the bill ex-
pressed the deliberate judgment Of both
Houses Of Congress on the subject. and in
order TO aid in bringing about . much de-
sired peace and in the restoration Of the
rebellious States to their proper places in
The Union. the President on the Sth Of
July. four days AFTER Congress had ad.
iourned, issued q proclamation reciting the
fact that the bill had passed Congress but
that it had not become Law, but that as il
contained plan for the restoration Of the
rebellious States to the Union, and that Is
It expressed the views Of Congress. he
thought fit TO lay it before the people for
their consideration.
In this proclamation he took pains to de-
clare that he was unprepared. by . formal
approval Of this bill. To be committed to
any single plan Of restoration. But he
vas also unprepared to declare that the
Free. State constitutions and governments
already adopted and installed in Arkansas
and Louisiana (for these States had adopted |
such under the supervision and direction

THE silliest piece of spitework that has
yet been attempted Is reported from New
Orleans. PACKARD and his friends, il IL
said, now propose to be revengeful and to
attempt to show that the vote of Orleans
perish of right belonged to TILDEN, and
that 1t was fraudulently given to HAYES.
They certsinly are not so crazed with
their defeat as to suppose that this move
will help Mr.. TILpES or harm President
HAYES. HAYES is President of the United
States. SO declared by the solemn action
OF Congress, and anything that pack Of
politicians in Louisiana can do cannot up.
set the title. They seem to forget that the
election officers only publish their own
lniamy to the world when they issue this
document The people will not be slow
to believe that their last statement il lie.
They will confirm the notion which is
pretty general now that the NICHOLS
government Is the true one to protect the
interests of the people of Louisiana.

fact that the most effective vessels for the
protection OF commerce are fast sailers. In
the American navy there are twenty vessels
which can be called last, and able to do rood
service IN the defense OF our sea-trading inter-
ests. In the North Atlantic squadron We
have the Plymouth, carrying la guns; the

Pensacola, % guns; Omaha, 12 guns; Lscka.

are the Tennessee, % guns; the Kearsarrs,

vessels OF modern build, and carrying alto
ge,her sil first class guns. These are simply
the fast ssilsrs. There are many other vessels
which vii make good cruisers and are we'll

to over ela 900 900, and that trade owes fts
existence to the projection afforded BY the
