President Hayes attended the annual
banquet Of the New York Chamber of
Commerce on Monday evening last, and
in response to the toast "To the Presi-
dent of the United States" used among
others, these significant words:
"At peace with all the nations of the
world, with an honest purpose ON the
part OF our people and the part of the gov
ernment loud cheers to strive for the
restoration OF the ancient concord within
our own limits, [hurrahs and great ap-
plausel l believe that Notwithstanding
the unfortunate array of figures which
has been disentombed that We may conf
IDENTIFY look for early, decidedly encourg-
ing evidences of the reviving of business
prosperity throughout our country"
1t will be seen that the President
still has faith in pacific and nor-in-
reference policy in the internal affairs
OF the States, and that his sentiments
met with an enthusiastic response from
the large and distinguished assemblage
present. 1t is stated that invitations
to attend the banquet were sent to ex-
Gov. Tildep, Gov. Robinson and all the
leading officials of the State, but they
all declined lest their presence should
seem all Endorsement OF the declaration
of Mr.. Hayes election.

"a HAYWOOD CEMETERY.-The Di-
reotors have concluded to hold fair for
the benefit of the Cemetery, during the
Christmas holidays of this year. The
object is to raise money to construct the
front fence, and to build house in
which the Superintendent will reside.
1t is proposed to have large room in
the house fitted up for a chapel, to be
made comfortable with fire on all suita-
lie occasions. The ladies of the COM
munity, and those interested in tho
Cemetery wherever they reside, are re-
quested to superintend the Fair and
make it a grand success. We are pleas
ed to state that the Cemetery is gener-
ally popular. Its patrons live nearly to
Leetown, and beyond Duffields. 1t is
beautifully laid of, and well kept. The
arrangements are admirable, and it is
the only Cemetery We know of where
the dead are properly inferred.

THE SOUTH,

TO people who really desire the reha-
Utilization and prosperity OF the South,
the conduct of some of the would-be
leaders down there is not at all reassur
ing. If petty personal ambition and
political pique is allowed to step in and
take the place of craftsmanship, the
day Of peace and rest from the troubles
with which they have been SO long be-
set is not so near at hand. If men like
Hampton and Nicholls-men with
nerve and brain-who have so far been
successful in their endeavors to elevate
and alleviate the condition of their peo-
pie, are now to be pushed aside and
their counsel set at naught, in order
that this OR the other aspirant may
reach the United States Senate or some
other political office. it is about time
that the people should put their veto
upon such proceedings with an empha-
sis that could not be misunderstood.
There has been considerable nonsense
mixed up with political affairs in Louis
lana and South Carolina, and it will be
a shame and scandal as well as disap-
pointment TO those who have stood by
the people Of those States in their hour
of trial and need if the native marplot,
