The Attitude of the South.


The Boston Herald, of October ., says
The Southern members who arc coming in
talk freely concerning the President and his
course, but hardly in way to suit the friends
of the Administration. Theydonot lose sight
for moment of the fact that Hayes was
not really elected, and that the party which
forced him into power, although he did not
receive majority of the popular vote, must
be driven out Of power in 1880. One of the
most intelligent of the Southern Democrats,
Mr.. Singleton, of Mississippi, says that has
been much among the Southern people, and
that the feeling in favor of sticking to the
Democratic party, and banishing the Repub.
licans from the control of the Government, is
universal, and that nothing that Hayes can
do will diminish it. He says that this will
surely be the greatissue in the next Presidential
campaign, and that the South will vote solidly
for the Democratic candidate for the Presi.
dency. 1t would make no difference If Hayes
were to carry out Democratic ideas from this
time till the end of his Administration, the
South would vote against the Republican
candidate all the same when the nextelection
is held

Troubles on The Mexican Border.

Our relations with Mexico are delicate and
dangerous. Along the Rio Grande and on
the Texas side number of Mexicans have
settled who are violently opposed to the civil
officers Of the United States government and
have given great aid and announcement to
the Mexican marauders. An Instruction of
this character Of population has taken place
IN Texas, and that two Texan villages have
been captured by the insurgents and the
American citizens lodged in Jail In Texas
mud New Orleans this news has created great
Excitement and local military organizations
declare their readiness to move on Mexico.
The people Immediately subject to This class
'of outrage, believe the policy Of the govern.

BALTIMORE COUNTY PonTICs.-A special
despatch to the Erening Bulletin dated Tow.
sontown, October 10th, says The political
campaign in the county is now becoming
quite animated. As is generally known,
doubtless, there was fusion of the People 5
Independent and Workingmen's parties some
time since, by which a common ticket was
put in the field. Some of the candidates on
this ticket are also on the Republican ticket,
put up by the Oseeola Hall convention, viz /:
Charles Peregoy for Treasurer, James Miller
and Joshua +. Benson for County Commits
siohers, and Messrs. Brown, Gladfelter and
Remare for the House Of Delegates Two Of
the nominees on the regular Democratic
ticket are also on the Reform ticket-Mr.
Carmichael, for County Commissioner, and
Mr.. MCLEAN, for County Surveyor.
Il will be seen, therefore, that there are
only six candidates in all for County Commits.
sioners and nine for the House of Delegates.
Those hostile to the regular Democratic ticket
seem confident that the candidates supported
by both the opposition tickets will be elected
while the Democrats are equally sanguiue oil
the success of their entire ticket.
