The President, Blaine, and Morton.

The President, Blaine, and Morton.
All recognize the Maine resolutions as
.he cunning and miSchieyous work OF
Rr.1SE. Hc is awarded eclat or denounced
nc knaye and inscriptions sectionalist
nv turns, He is nevertheless powcrless so
far as concerns his ability to retstablish the
sectional party Of hate and rancor win
any efficiency for control in the nation.
Such a party could not possibly acquire
control in national affairs except through
that unauthorized use OF Federal authority
which Mr.. HAYES has completely rcpuo'-
ated. The sectional rancors cease to nave
a harmful existence the moment the usur-
nation OF Federal power which gave them
s,rh existence was discontinued. So BLAINE
only expends his speech and his strategy IN
vaip.
President HAYES understands this very
well. His remark in reply TO question
pronounced to him 4 day or so since shows
This. He said that the Maine resolutions
1.were not dangerous" He knows very
gushing Mr.. N.AINE's fires and paciLcatlnS
the land. All over the South there is peace
and growing confidence. Can BLAINE ano
MORTON make people believe that Federal
interference. with military buildozlng, l.
necessary where all is peace. as it Is IN the
South: Will the most stupid amongst
northern men be willing to say that the sol
ders ana spies OF Government must W
spread over the whole South because tht
southern people do not elect negroes to
of,;cn, i il matter OF Justice that Fedc'
raj interference should be renewed ut the
South because negroes may not be elected
to the Legislature. and that the same inter
ference shall not be called in at the North
in Maine and Vermont and New Hamp-
shire-where negroes are also not elected to
office:
The northern people have been too much
acitated by this negro sympathy already.
They are tired OF rcconStructlnS Tue
South: for in that reconstruction OF the
South they came near running themselves.
1t is not necessary that the North should
iniure themselves any longer because WINES
in the South don't desire to elect negroes 10
the Legislature or to be Governors. Inc
North has come to this sensible view: that
if Is no more wonderful that the South does
not want to elect negroes than tnat tue
North does not desire to do the same, ana
we are sure that they have come to the con-
cllsion that they are not going to press the
matter any further. They are satisfied rs 1t
is. and much prefer peace and prosperity
without negro Governors and legislators
than ruin and apprehension with them.
This is Mr.. NAYEs'S imprcSnablc ground.
He grows stronger and stronger, BLNNE
and MoKToN weaker and weaker; and an
other presidential period will bury them so
that they Will not rise again. Indeed. Nor
TON has OF late been industriously employ
cd on variety OF matters in San Francisco
which would seem to warrant the idea that
he has discovered that he will likely find
more tina. is profitable in running Calior-
MIA than is likely to turn up for him in H.
diana. Some Chinese merchants, as it has
been announced, desire to secure his
aid in Congress in passing bill TO
repeal the WAsHBURS humbug OF treaty
and reestabIish the relations between the
United States and China in q more illiberal
manner-in way that will rather discour-
age than favor immigration. 1t is not
matter of regret that the Chinese desire this
measure. II MORTON helps to secure it lie
ia hny no
has done; and were lie to be permanently
engaged by the Chinese and depart with
them to the fowery kingdom we should
think the majority OF people in this country
would forgive all his tranSgressions.
But he and BLAINE arc "not dangerous"
as Dir. HAYES says. The awarding to the
southern States OF the right to ''local SELF
government is spreading over the land
rising flood OF contentment that will drown
the malcontents. The pacifcation OF the
country is wildly portrayed in all sections.
That wonderful serenity that prevailed in
the South during the recent terrible riots at
the North won for the South golden opin-
ions in all lands. 1t was contrast that cN-
hibited the South in most advantageous light.
What in the world can the destructives do
that may disturb the peace of the country
in the face OF the present and growing
peace and faith tina. are ditlusing their
bright light in every State and every town,
hamlet, and homestead of the nation? Mr..
HAYES has triumphed, and in his triumph
the nation and humanity have triumphed
over the worst and most disturbing ele-
menrs that ever appeared in the land.
