A late Washington special" to the
Chicago Inter Ocean says that a cir
cumstance has come to light which
shows how persistently Hayes refused
to consent to any bargain with south
ern representatives in order to secure
his Inauguration. While the count
was in progress Lieutenant Governor
Young received at Columbus a lengthy
dispatch signed by eighteen Demo-
cratic members of Congress. asking if
Governor Hayes, should he become
President, would carry out a policy
therein indicated. Among other
things, they asked If he would ap-
point one of four southern men men
toned to place in his cabinet. The
dispatch was lengthy, containing
more than 200 words, indicating what
they wanted, and closing with re-
quest for an authoritative reply. Gen.
Young had no sooner read the dis
patch than he took it to Governor
Hayes. Hayes read it, and remarked
that it was a well-written dispatch. -
THAT is true" said the General, "but
how shall answer it ?" THAT is for
you to say. not me-" replied Hayes,
1.-The dispatch is addressed to you and
not to me-" "Yes," said the Gener-
al, but 1t undoubtedly was expected
that you would read the dispatch. and
that my answer would be, In reality,
yours" THAT being the case" said
Hayes, Il have nothing to say.
have no pledges or promises to make
other than are found in my letter of
acceptance, No one is authorized to
speak for me further. 1 will be party
TO no bargains"
General young replied TO the dis
patch in his own way. and was par
ticular TO say that no one was author
lied to make promises for Hayes. He
did not assume the responsibility.

Senator Pease, of Mississippi, In a
speech delivered in the United States
Senate, Jan. 26, 1875, says:
when the state of Mississippi was
reconstructed there was not single
free school In the state. In three
years, over two thousand school hous-
-es were built, and over three thousand
schools were organized. Nearly one
hundred thousand children were re-
ceiving tuition in these schools. The
same was true of Tennessee in 1863.
But when a change In the status OF
the political parties occurred, the
schools were closed. This was true
also of Georgia"
That lie the way il was when those
Southern States were under the con-
troll of the Republican party-the in
anguration and progression of fine
system of education. But finally the
school teachers were whipped into
silence, or murdered, or run out of
the country by Democratic ruffians,
the school house doors were closed
and the State of Mississippi went
nearly unanimously for "Tilden and
.reform!'
