TILDENS SOUTHERN POLICY.
Hoav The RodicGl Organs Have Been Con-
verted to II.



II is difficult to recognize in the Repub.
lican party organ Of the past two or three
weeks the same journal with which we
had become familiar during the proceed
ing six months or six years. Its disting-
uishing features have changed as marked
ly as those of man will sometimes
change when their possessor is rapidly
recovering from a severe illness or pro-
lonCed debauch. We need go no further
back than the Presidential canvass for
abundant proof Of this sudden and saluta-
ry alteration. The canvass was conduct
ed, as we cannot yet quite forget, in aC-
cordance with a keynote furnished by
Blaine, accepted by Chandler and Wheel
er, and passed on to the rank and tile OF
orators and writer's who made up the
great body of active workers. We were
to advance against the Democratic hosts
as we advanced upon the rebel army at
Gettysburg. We were to remember the
prison pens of Andersonville, and resolve
never to allow the defenceless freedman
to be restored to the tyranny of his for.
mer master, etc. We we're to ward OIL
by our ballots the threatening burden OF
Southern claims with which a "Confede-
rate" Congress would be sure to over
whelm us, and so on. But since the day
of Hayes's first appearance in. Washing
ton we have seen in no Republican paper
the slightest reference to the great pur-
poses of the canvass. Even the poor
negroes whom we heard weeping upon a
street corner in Florida when the count
of the State votes was finally rectlhed,
appear to have dried their tears, or, at
least, fail any longer 70 make their sobs
audible to republican editors The tele.
graph brings no news of "outrages" or OF
further developments of "the Mississippi
plan" Every Republican has become
disgusted with military control OF States,
and thoroughly convinced that State
government which cannot support itself
should not be propped up by national SOL
diers. Indeed, it is no longer the freed
man but the white man who is summon
ed most sweetly to repose in Abraham's
bosom. Many reader might hesitate
to decide which was Dives and which was
Lazarus In fact, every issue of the war
appears to be settled. Rebellion is
dead; there are no rebels it must have
been spook with whichBlaine frighten-
ed us. + 1t is safe to predict that
had Blaine succeeded in his attempt to
break down the policy of the president
and confne him to the system marked
out by the managers of the canvass, we
should to-day have been reading the
same dismal editorial articles with which
we became so painfully familiar during
the past Administration, and should be
bracing our nerves to endure for another
four years the Affections of the last eight;
and the same men who are now blithely
writing; eulogies of Hayes's new policy
would be writing praises of his wisdom
and courage as displayed in following the
footsteps Of his illustrious predecessor.

OAKEYHALL.

Louis J. Jennings sends from London
the following dispatch to the World
In reply to your further questions con-
cerning my conversation with A. Oakley
Hall, it may not be improper for me to
say his flight was plainly caused by the
ever-recurring spectre of his alleged
completely in the ring frauds. The per
petual revival Of these charges made life
intolerable to him, till he came to think
death better than to be thus constantly
haunted, He said to me he wished to be
considered dead by his friends, and to be
forgotten. He is very greatly depressed
and seems to have no care for the future.
As to the woman who is said in New
York-as you inform me-to be his COM
panion here, have seen nothing OF any
such person, and from my conversation
with him believe that no such person
had any part in his flight. do notthink
that any other person, man or woman,
beside himself, was cognizant OF his pur-
pose in leaving New York, or in any way
connected with his presence here. AS l
said yesterday, consider him to be SIM
ply an utterly broken man.
The World supplements this dispatch
by saying; "There is theory connect
ed with Halls disappearance which, on
close examination of the facts, seems to
cover all the circumstances of this other
wise incomprehensible affair. Itappears
that Hall had an insurance of some $6l-
600 on his life. To his friend Douglas
Taylor he said only few weeks before
his fight, "My family would be better off
if were dead, and there is much to
prove that he meant to convey the belief
that he met his death that Friday night
after he left his Office"

WHAT THE SOUTHERN DEMO-
Gratis MUST DO.

While the Appeal proposes no discus
sion of politics to the neglect of the great
business interests of the country, it advis-
es the Democrats to stand by their guns,
and to be ready to prove in future cleo
tions that Key and Waldran, instead of
carrying the Democratic party of this
State in their breeches pockets, to be
handed over by them to the fraudulent
President, who purchased them, are de-
tested blythe party they betrayed. While
making poliCes only secondary consider
alton, let the Democrats Of Tennessee be
impressed with the importance of adher'
ing to its ancient usage, keeping up
prefect organization, and maintaining the
spirit with which it achieved, in the elec'
ton of Tilden, great and glorious vic
tory. A desperate effort will be made ia
break the new life into the compost heap
ofcorruption represented by the fraudu
lent President. But it will be in vam i
the Democracy maintain its vigilance, the
only condition whereby they can hope
TO maintain its liberties. Courage is the
duty of the hour. Since the close of the
desperate struggle resulting in unprece

Captain Frederick Lahrbusch died in
New York on Tuesday. He is said to
have been born on March g, 1766, and
consequently celebrated the nth ami
versary Of his birthday only short time
ago. He always received the greatest
respect from the prominent citizens Of
New York on account of his remarkable
age and the historic events through
which he had passed. He entered the
British army at an eSrly age, and after
active service in the Napoleonic wars,
retired at the age Of 81 to enjoy domes-
tic life. 1t seems almost impossible to
believe that this man was friend Of
Blucher, knew Marshal Ney, Eugene
Victor and Lefevre; that he fought
under Sir Arthur Wellesley in the PEN
.insular War, and kept guard at Napo-
Icons prison on St. Helena sixty years
ago. Doubts have been expressed in
regard to the extreme longevity claimed
for Captain Lahrbusch by himself and
his friends.

"They just made careful inventory Of

WHAT WILL HAPPEN2
The Walsrs Of Truth Rise SlO'Olg but Surely


[Nep York WOrldl
Florida which was claimed for Stearns
and the electoral vote of which was count
ed for Hayes, has been surrendered 10 the
Democrats. South Carolina, which was
claimed for Chamberlain, and the cleo
toral vote of which was counted for Hayes
IA now surrendered to the Democrats.
And Louisiana, which was claimed for
Packard, and the electoral vote OF which
was counted for Hayes, must soon be sur
rendered to the Democrats. In each
of these cases the Republicans must con-
fess anew the blackness OF their own
crimes, and acknowledge once, twice, and
third time that they have put a preten'
der into the Presidential office. The oc-
casion thus offered to the leaders OF the
Democratic party to assert clearly ana
peremptorily the supremacy ofthe people
over the Government will not be trlhed
with or thrown away. And those who
hold to day prizes which they never fair
ly won will ere long be made to realize
the bitter prospect held up to them by
Judge Black in his scathing speech be-
fore the Electoral Commission you
NAV saw to day we have made a coven-
ant with death and with hell we
are at agreement; when the overhowing
scourge shall pass through, it shall
not come unto us; for we have made lies
our refuge, and under falsehood have we
hid ourselves. But nevertheless walt q
little while. The waters of truth will
rise gradually, and slowly but surely, and
then look out for the overfowing scourge.
The refuge of lies shall be swept away
and the hiding place offalsehood shall be
nncoyered.'"

AN UNpAo1ncATED REPUBLICAN,

Washington, April 5.-Russell Errett,
member.elect Of Congress and Chairman
of the Republican State Committee OF
Pennsylvania, has written sharp letter
to General Garfield, who announced him
self to him as the Hayes candidate for
Speaker Of the House. Mr.. Erreit indul-
pes in some sarcastic reflections on the
Southern and civil service policy Of the
new Administration, and seems to think
that the logical sequence Of it would in
vite his vote for Randall rather than for
Garfield for Speaker He has not made
up his mind whether the policy of pacih-
cation will pacifcate in the Republican
party, and reserves a decision on that
point.

Four thousand FIVE hundred miles is
rather a long journey for child not five
years old to undertake alone. Maggie
Woods, aged four and halt, has how
ever, says the Liverpool Post, accom-
plished this feat. Six months ago she
was left an orphan at Chicago by the
death of her father and mother. Her
only relation in the world is an aunt,
living at Stockport, in England. This
lady communicated with the United
States Consul in Manchester, who wrote
to Chicago and had arrangements made
for sending the child to England. Mag
gle was equipped for the journey, and
travelled a thousand miles to New York
under the care of railway conductor
At New York she was received by
strangers, who entertained her some
days, and on the sd inst, placed her,
supplied with toys and amusements, on
board the City Of Richmond, under the
care of Capt. Leitch and the stewardess.
She was landed safely on the arrival OF
the steamer at Liverpool. and given over

RANDOLPH TUCKER'S VIEWS UPON
The EFFECT OF THE PRESI-
DENTS POLICY.
Washington, April 5, 1877.

Washington, April 5, 1877.
J.Randolph Tucker, member elect from
Virginia, is at present in Washington,
and to-day in conversation presented
some interesting views on the political
situation. In brief, he declares that the
Democrats in his State do not give any
special thanks to Hayes for his Southern
policy, for he is doing, Mr.. Tucker says,
Just what the Democratic party has forced
him to do. "He is carrying out our poll
cy. Why" said ne, "does any one sup
pose that the people would rest quietly
and submit to any other course of execu-
tive action from man who has MAORI.
ty of nearly half million against him"
He insists that Hayes's Southern policy,
as it is called, is the Democratic platform
made last November and the result ofthe
utterances of the party in and out OF Con-
gress for the last ten years, and the coun-
try might rest assured that the Demo
cratic party had no idea of allowing Hayes
or any of his followers to carry off the
credit of the peaceful solution of the
Southern situation. Mr.. Tucker declared
that Virginia was more confident to-day
in its faith of the glorious destiny of the
Democratic party than ever, and It was
laughable, he said, to read the reports
sent out by the Republicans from here
that the Democratic party is being disin-
tegrated. Referring to the extra session
of Congress, Mr.. Tucker predicted that it
would be organized in day by the Demo.
Gratis. He thought that the Virginia del
egation would probably support Randall
for Speaker, and predicted that all the
committees would be appointed and the
House proceed in earnest with general
business. With peace in the South, Mr.
Tucker anticipates great prosperity in the
next year, when he believes the cotton
crop alone will exceed that of 1850, and
that the rice and tobacco crops will be
larger than ever.

married Mr.. F. G. Crawford, a Democrat
ic correspondent, another press represen'
tative remarked: "Your daughter has
married one of the best men in the row,
but | am astonished that such an IRON
clad Republican as you should blossom
out in the capacity of father-in-law to the
Chicago Times" He smiled grimly as
he answered: "If Hayes proposes to
make himself father-in-law to the whole
Democratic party, you can't blame me fol
being in the fashion"

The victim of the man who presumed
TO hang the trappings of imperialism on

OF the Austrian Emperor, who exchanged
q happy home and high position for the
fatal illusion Of a mOnarch's title. The
schemer, driven from his throne, dies an
exile, and the victim is brought home
to lie among his people. The love that
was borne the Archduke is evinced by
exquisite offerings Of fresh flowers
tied with broad white ribbons EN-.

renewed on his coffin. Not far from
where Maximilian rests is the plain
casket containing the remains OF the
young man called Napoleon III. He is

The most conspicuous casket in the

In the latter the rows Of silver urns il
