You see very few small women here,
they are nearly always either of a
fair medium size, or large. COM
plexions are beautiful There must
be something in the Northern air
which causes the complexion to APP
pear so soft and clear. The manner
of the ladies here, is rather disposed
to be free. They look out for them
selves, and are as independent as a
porcupine on a wet day. make no
mistake" Mrs E. a lady whom
| met here at the Hotel, tells me that
they make nothing of walking the
streets and travelling alone. She
says that she wouldn't be afraid to
traverse the whole of the United
States by herself, and | don't think
she would. In crossing dirty streets
these ladies of New York do not be-
llevs in getting heir pretty red skirts
muddy, and the number OF g'lmpses
one gets Of pretty white and striped
stockings il amazing. 10 street
cars and hotels they are perfectly at
home, and each weeds her own row.
Some of these times I'll tell you
something more Of the "dear creat>
nres," for the theme is really mex
haustible.
For the present guess | have
written enough, and so shall cease.
Say to your fair correspondent from
Fort Gaines that | appreciate her
compliment, and hope she will be
equally pleased with this, as she was
with my effnsionS in Marietta as

Mr.. HAYES has now turned his
back upon his SO called policy in South
Carolina as well as in Louisisns. He
has invited each of the rival Cover
nors to come to Washington and pre-
sent his case.
In this measure the carpet>baggers
win another victory, while those two
special rascais, Chamberlain and
John Patterson, gain a new delay,
leaving the door open for the final
adoption Of the old method of main
tanning fraudulent State Governments
by the use Of Federal bayonets which
Dir. Hayes professed and promised
to repudiate.
The Republican journals that have
been growing over the defeat of
Blaine and the bloody shirt, and
praising Hayes Cancellation of the
South, had better prepare to change
their tune. Mr.. Hayes changes what
he is pleased to call his mind, and
sa.ey inust change theirs with him

WHAT THE COUNTRY WANTS.

The country has just passed
through one of the hottest, fercest
aud bilterest political warfares ever
known 10 the history of American
politics. Greater complications were
precipitated, giving cause of doubt,
uncertainty and dependency, unset>
thing commercial values and interfer-
ring with investments, than has
characterized any period of our
country, save the late civil conflict.
Now, Hayes is President, wrong
fully we believe, but nevertheless
it is a hopeless reality. What the
people want now, is, to be let alone
in their peaceful pursuits and right
fol enjoymsnts. The country is
tired Of political excitement and tur'
MOL. 1t wants rest from strife and
rancorous words. 1t wants solid
business recuperation, that natural
ly flow from restored confidence
and tranquility. Let politicians
cease to agitate and leave Hayes in
the glory of his illegitimate possess
ions, to work out the best policy
that can be devised to abolish sec
tional discrimination and bayonet
governments and revive business
prosperity and give stability to VAL
ues and peace TO the country.

ANOTHER C COMMISSION.


We early put n record what we
thought Of the cowagdly expedient
resorted to by Cor gress Of selecting
., President of the United States by
fsCommission," Before the measure
was resolved on, at its very incep'
ton, we condemned il in our col
umns on principle and predicted the
disastrous and disgraceful result
The conception had no foundation Of
truth to rest on, and it plainly did
violence to the Constitution. II is
extremely difficult to reach a true
end by employing false means -
Truth is not the ofspriDg OF error
Justice is not begotten Of iniquity
cowardice ia the natural parent OF
crime.
Congress lodged their duty when
they put the responsibility of choos-
ing President upon "Commis'
sion" of fifteen men. We have n,
disposition 10 taunt the Congress,
but their fears got the mastery Of
their reason when Grant, in drunk
en- tit, presented to them the posi-
BILE alternative Of Hayes or How
tiers. I'D, ssesaea fssi
Doubtless, too, some of them had
faith in Hayes promises--forgettine
for the time that words sometimes
are meant to conceal and sometimes
pervert, as well as express ideas.
But all deusion is dispelled now.
Hayes has shown his hand. The
cloven foot is fully disclosed. The
yelled Prophet has dotted his cover
ing and stands exposed to view in
all the naked hideousness of radical
deformity. Instead of coming to
the front himself like man and set
Ting as he could settle the troubles
in Louisiana and South Carolina, by
a word, commanding the withdrawal
of the Federal troops from those
States-he recalls some recent his
tory to his aid he remembers, that
Congress has recently set a prece
dent which he is but too glad to fol-
low. 1t occurs to him that he can
carry out his fixed purpose of seats
ing Packard in the gubernatorisl
chair of Louisiana by means of a
"Commission !" He recollects-he
will never forget that a "Com>
mission hoisted him into the Presi
Dental chair over the will of quar-
ter million of freemen and he knows
that q "Commission" can foist Pack
ard into office over Nichols who was
the peoples choice by ten thousand
majority. And when arraigued for
the unmitigated outrage before tho
bar of an indignant public opinion,
he will turn calmly about and plead
the precedent set by Democratic
House of Representatives. "Com
mission !"-"CoMMISsIoN ! !" we
loathe the word aud spit upon the
thing.
