WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The best opin.

The best opinion, however, also is,
that whatever may happen in national

THE SOUTHERN STATE.
what the National Republican Has to
Say OF southern Carpet Baggersa n asa

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga double lead
ed editorial in this mornings Nationa
Republican, is known to have been writ
ten after consultation with Northern
Republicans and the President. In the
article which is headed:
The duty Of the Republican party y
begins thus: We recently conceded
that all indications show general re.
turn OF the former slaves OF the South
to the side Of their old masters in the
issue with strangers introduced by the
ffest that the great body Of colored peo-
pie who constitute the laboring class OF
the South have but followed in the
beaten path Of all the millions of their
kind, who have gone before them in
declaring their loyalty and fidelity to
support"
After reciting the condition of affairs
in the troubled States, the article pro-
sceeds to say: eve know the cause Of
this unfortunate, and, il not remedied
fatal state Of affairs.
It Is the mischievous existence Of an
alien element in some of the Southern
States, seeking to sustain its crumbling
fortunes by federal aid. This is the
sole cause OF the estrangement between
the two sections and OF the present de-
plorable subsection of the colored peo-
pie.
rs it right? Is it reasonable to per-
sist Ia maintaining such unnatural re-
tallations, by any means more effective
than the simple recognition of legally
existing. governments, when the effect
IS 20 widen the breach between the two
sections?
1t is wrong in itself and madness as
a matter OF policy. What, then. is the
remedy? Leave the struggling govern
ments to depend upon their own
strength or weakness, and to stand or
fall Us they may, giving them only the
aid OF countenance.
Invite representative men of the
South into counsels of the party. thus
attracting to it's support the original

[special to Cincinnati Enquirer1
COLUMBUS, Feb. 20. - General Tom
Browne, OF Indiana, came to the CITY
last night, and has been closeted with
Hayes all morning. The object of his
visit is to urge the appointment OF Gen.
Ben Harrison, the lately defeated Re-
publican candidate for Governor OF In
diana, as Attorney General In hig
(Hayeso Cabinet. He says that Indi-
ana has got to be recognized, and that
Harrison has better claims than any
body else. Mr.. Browne, it will be re-
membered, Is not a particular friend Of
Morton, and he and Gen. Harrison are
the recognized heads Of the anti-Morton
movement that was SO much talked OF
just before the Cincinnati Convention.
Mr.. Hayes took the thing under advise
ment.
Per contra, Colonel Bill Holloway.
postmaster, the brother in-law and Wis.,
ibie embodiment of Mortonism in the
State OF Indiana, arrived on the same
train which brought General Browne.
and, though they didn't come in COM
pany, they both stopped at the Neil
House, and presumably slept under the
same roof. Colonel Holloway was ira /
Yelling lncognito, and didn't inscribe his
name on the, hotel register, prefer

general public, lest they should
get up demonstration In honor Of his
arrival. This morning he was over in
Hayes office bright and early. He had
heard that Browne was coming, and his
chief object was to get in his work
ahead OF that venerable party. It is
said that he made formal demand that
Morton should be recognized by Hayes
in the creation OF his Cabinet by giving
him the War Department portfolio. It
is doubtful, however, whether he got
for Washington on the noon train in a
not very enviable frame of mind.
Gen. N. NJ. Harris, of ST. Louis, chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee Of Missouri, is among the
politicians drawn hither
by the presence OF, Hayes. He came in
the interest OF somebody, who, 1t Is not

as vindication, or an emollient rather,
for what the Deacon suffered at the
hands Of Grants administration.
Gen. r. P. Buckland, Of Fremont,
Hayes neighbor and personal adviser
when he is at home, has been here for
several days, frequent and welcome
visitor at the Governors Office and at.
The Gubernatorial Mansion. He and
Hayes have been lifetime friends. and
the story goes that he will be made Pri-
Vate Secretary to the new President

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. - Mr.. Foster
made brief speech to-day from manu-
script, which is regarded by some as
foreshadowing Hayes present pur.
poses. He said that Gov. Hayes was O
citizen OF his district, aud, though he
did not profess to speak by authority,
he, predicted that Hayes Southern
policy would be entirely different from
what had been heretofore pursued, and
such as would be entirely satisfactory to
the Southern people. Whether these
declarations are made to expedite the
electoral count, or are to be followed up
In executive acts, remains to be seen.

The cigar makers have shown

strike for what they consider their
rights. They have completed their
organization, have raised q very
large fund, and have organized
"provision Kitchen" from which the
needy strikers will be fed. The
provisions ore bought ut the lowest
Wholesale price, and are distributed
in such quantities us will keep the
strikers in good condition. They
have also secured the services Of

short have gone into the business
in thoroughly systematic way.

rious that people will allow them

transparent.
The temperance movement is still
progressing, though it has not made
tho headway that its projectors
hoped. 1t is very hard to keep the
attention of New Yorkers to any

an enormous thing the rum interest

The business imperatively de-
manding an extra session Of Con-
gress is still waiting Mr.. Randall's
appointment of the Committees that
the message may be appropriately
referred.
Mr.. Kellogg was present with ono
Of his counsel-Mr. Shellabarger-
before the Committee on Privileges
and Elections yesterday; and the
latter consumed about all the time
of the session in a presentation Of
his clients case. Mr.. Spohord being
invited to make his argument to-
day. There is no question, even
among Democrats, / believe, as to
the legality of Kellogg's election,
Spofford relying wholly, it is said,
on the Presidents recognition of
the Nichols government as destroy
ing the rights Kellogg had pre-
viously acquired, and to make valid
his own title. From the solid Re-
publican vote in favor Of sending
both of the Democratic claimants
Spofford and Eustus-to the COM
mittee, the hope has been greatly
strengthened that the contests in
the case of Louisiana and South
Carolina will be decided on their
merits without any reference to the
recognition Of either Nichols or
Hampton.
In the House, since the opening
hour of the session, Clerk Adams
successful attempt to deprive Colo
rado of representation has been the
leading matter of discussion, in con.
nection with the partizan rulings
relative to other contested seats.
Mr.. Bakers bill, just introduced,
provides for the reconciliation oil
the silver dollar, 412a grains weight
standard silver, to be legal tender
for all debts public and private; i,
authorizes the issue of Treasury
notes similar (as near as possible)
to greenbacks, redcemable in silver
on presentation, and receivable for
taxes due tho United States, and
also exchangeabls for silver bullion,
at the rate Of one dollar for every
480 grains pure silver. Senator
ingalls, has alse introduced re-
monetixation bill by the provisions
Of which the silver dollar is made a
legal tender for all public and pri-
vate debts, save those specially con-
tracted to be paid in gold. Other
members, ambitious Of distinction
as financiers, have indicated their
purpose to follow suit, and others
still are said to be preparing meas
ures having for their object the re-
peal of the net designating tho 1st
Of January, 1879, as the date Of re-
sumption. The long delay in get
ting at work on the deficiency bills
has diminished the chances of an
early al djournmcnt, and almost cv.
cry one appears to have settled
down to tho belief that there will be
but a very short interval between
the expiration of>the present and
the beginning Of the regular session.
