THE CAMERONS AND HAYES.
Holding the ReinS in PENNSYLVANIA
They viii Have Presidential
Surrender or a General
Smash.
Philadelphia correspondence Of the New Yor

Philadelphia correspondence Of the New York
Tribune
The CamerOns do not wait for him
(the Presidency to attack them. They
demand that he shall pledge himself
to let them alone in the enjoyment Of
the spoils, and they warn him if he re-
fuses that they will give the State to
the Democrats and thus deal a heavy
blow at the Administration. And
they can carry out their threats. The
party organization is wholly III their
grasp, and however warmly the mass
es may approve the Presidents course,
there is no time to supplant the old ef-
ficieDt machinery with something new
that will do its work. Victory in
Pennsylvania has been for years the
result Of complete organization. If the
men who have hold of the cranks and
levers Of the Republican machine
choose to let 90, it will certainly run
into the ditch. What Is the President
to do? Surrender to the Camerons?
If he takes this course he IS lost, for he
torfcits at once the respect and support
Of the reform clement in his party all
over the country. Everybody knows
that nowhere else Is the application Of
a stiff civil service more needed than
in PENNSYLVANIA. 1t looks as if the
policy adopted at Washington was one
Of delay and compromise. / hope this
is not the Gaze. The only wise course
is for the President to hew clean up 10
the line of reform he has marked out,
no matter what NAV become Of the
chips. If he does not he viii make
ragged piece of work. 1t is Of no real
consequence whether PENNSYLVANIA
goes Republican or not next fall, but
the Administration and the future OF
the National Republican party depend
upon the fidelity and thoroughneSs
with which the President gives effect
10 the theories Of government he cnun-
ciated with such admirable clcarness
in his admirable inaugural address.
The Freedmcn's Bank Swindle.
Washington Special to the CINCINNATI Enquircr.7
1t Is now announced by the Freed
mems Bank Commissioners that they
are able to pay a dividend of ten per
cent. TO the depositors Of that defunct
and unsavory institution, hut qualify
the announcement with the additional
statement that as there are 10000 de
poSitors whose balances are five dollars
or under, and as the expense Of paving
such depositors a dividend Of only ten
per cent. will be greater than the
amount Of the dividend, they, the
Commissioners, won't pay over any
thing until they can sell the fine Freed
mems Bank Building in this city, when
they hope 10 he able TO pay twenty per
cent, dividend, which Is a mighty cx-
pensc and realizeF little tor the unfor-
tunate depositors.

ing weaker and weaker every year,
who would perpetuate the old Shibo-
leths to the end Of time. The present
epoch will not go to the last for It's i'll
structions. 1t will not seek the era Of
sectional hate and war for guiding
light.
Those who oppose all this are the
proscriptive sectionalists Of the Repub-
Iican party, who do not want a nation
aIity that admits the South to full com
muniOn, and few ignorant bigots here
and there in the South, who think it
mighty brave to mouth and make faces,
to pull down and to destroy, having
neither the spirit nor the capacity to
build up.

The Presidents Southern Tour.
New York Herald ]

We hope the report Is true that the
President intend presently toviSit some
Of the Southern States. We believe
it Is settled that he will spend some
weeks at the White SuIpur Springs,
where he will undoubtedly meet mum
her Of prominent Southern men; but
we would wish that hewould also even
during this summer, show himself to
the people in some Of the Gotten States.
They would he glad to see him. They
have not seen President Of the United
States since the war, and the SoutI =
CIn policy Of Mr., Hayes will secure
him hearty welcome everywhere. He
would probably find occasion to say
some wise and influential words to the
people Of both colors on such a Journey
which could not help but do good
The summer heats may seem to
make Il Southern tour inconvenient
for the President; but So many and
various good results would come OF
such Il journey that we hope the report
Is correct that Dir. Hayes intends to
make it.

mean the leaders. We believe that the
masses are heartily in accord with his
administration. To the extent that
the Radicals oppose Hayes, to that ex-
tent should the Southern Democrats
sustain him, because the very ground
of the Republican opposition is his do
ing justice to the Southern people in
giving them local selfgovernment.
Blaine would have Hayes to keep our
people under military rule and our
people disturbed and distracted unto
complete exhaustion. Mr.. Hayes ac-
ted against his counsels, and hence his
enmity. BY every principle Of self
defence We are forced to show Mr..
Hayes that we appreciate his policy,
and that as party we will defend his
pacific course against the opposition.

The Truth About the Jettfcs.

Said a reporter to Captain Eads:
" The statement has been received that
pilots are taking vessels drawing cigh-
teen feet through the South Pass, and
vessels Of twenty feet draft through
Southwest Pass. Why do the Use the
Southwest Pass i'll preference to the
South Pass for vessels OF greater draft,
if there is sufficient depth Of water
through the jctty channel to the sea. "
Well" replied Capt Eads, g there
are two reasons for this action on the
part Of the pilots. In the first place
they all live on the shore along the
Southwest pass, and they discriminate
when they are able, in order to suit
their own convenience, between. the
two passes. They prefer to take YES
sells up the Southwest Pass, because
they live nearest it, and they have also
a fear that the channel through the
South Pass may become 80 deep and
plainly marked that their services as
pilots Will no longer be needed by
ships that enter the river. Hence,
they discourage, if possible, the cap
tains OF all ships drawing twenty feet
or over from entering the jctty chan
mel, by purposelv magnifving the diff
culties Of its navigation. The smaller
vessels they cannot help admitting, are
able to 90 up easily, and their only
chances lie in detcrriug those Of greater
draft from entering" 'How long will
it be before the ictty channel Of the
requisite depth and width Will be cut
through the remaining distance Of y,
600 feet?" About two or three
months, [ think, at the present rate OF
progress. This will open a passage for
vessels of the largest draft down the
river as far as the bar. \ channel of
thirty feet depth across the bar viii be
cut by the river before next Christmas
| am confident. Then any vessel can
sail from the Gulf through the pass up
to New Orleans without difficulty.
The works have already cost more
than than four times what the Gov,
eminent has paid so far for their com
pletiOn. One payment Of $500, OOO
has been made in accordance with the
stipuIations Of the bill passed by Con
gress. \ second payment will be
made at the completion Of the deer
jetty channel, and when the channel
through the bar is cut to the required
depth the full amount Of s., 5000
will be paid, if the Government Is sat
istied that the work Is complete and OF
permanent value"

Litter writers within the Turkish lines
describe the condition OF the sick and
wounded as pitiable, owing 70 the unskill
fulness OF the surgeons and lack Of attention
generally. The American, English, French
and other foreign surgeons In Turkey have
thus far been OF great value in the hospitals,
and, although they are looked upon with
jealousy by the Turkish empires, their ser
vices are apparently appreciated by the gov
ernment. y correspondent writing from
Erzeroum gives a revolving picture of the
condition OF the wounded there, most OF
whom were brought a distance OF sixty
miles in springless carts. During our own
civil strife there was no branch of the army
more effective than the hospital service. As
a rule the wounded were speedily taken to
the near by ambulance corps, where they
were placed In cool and spacious tents and
their injuries promptly attended to. They
were subsequently removed 10 nelghboring
cities, where, in improvised hospitals, they
we're cared for by experienced surgeons and
attentive nurses. IL is not surprising that
some instances OF neglect and malpractice
did occur, but as a rule the hospital service
was modelled ON a system as nearly perfcc,
Rs possible.
