The POLITICAL SITUATION.
n Y. Sun ]

n Y. SUM-
One of the first results of Cham berlains
collapse 10 South Carolina will be that the
planting operations, which has been delayed
SO long by Hayes military occupation of
the State House, will begin in good earnest
Several million dollars of idle capital have
accumulated in the hanos of Charleston
factors and bankers which they prudently
declined to advance to farmers for their
years cropping, while the dual Govern
ments threatened disorders. This money
will now find its way to the rural districts,
setting the wheels OF industry in motion
and giving employment to cO!ored ldborers,
many OF whom were brought pretty near
To the ragged euge of staIvation under the
military protectOrate.

If the Republicans of South Carolina are
indeed the trium plant majority they claim
to be, the spectacle of their cowardly aban-
donment ftneir rights only help us to un-
derstand the bad use they have made OF
their rights while they enjoyed them. In
stead of 10 king to the Republican party
for sympathy or for help in their abdication,
they may r, fleet that they have been a
heavy burden for the Republican party to
carry aud il the party has lately been
brought into straits aud dangers, It is
| largely through the results represented in
South Carolina and other Southern States.
Boston POST
The difficulties which Mr. Hayes finds IN
the way of his promise TO carry out Dem
ocratic policy. such as Mr.. Tilden would
| have carried out, are considerable; and
| they do not appear to be diminishing.

1t is to b. re grettel th It IILyes tried the
commission experiment. 1t cannot do
any good. and is liable to do II good deal OF
harm. It has alre Idy em5ittered the riva
factions and complicated business suhi-
GENTLY complicated before. TIE best
thing the a lmjnistrltioh can do is to recall
its amblss ldprs, issue the necessary orders
to Gen. Augur, and let Packard and his bas-
tard government quietly expire "unwept,
unhonoreI and unsung.'
Philadelphia Times, Qnd)I
The Washington Republican says "ThC
| Democrats W IL have a majority of six il
the House. provided their party holds to-
gether. But when we remember that the
Republicans in the disputed States took the
| three tricks it may be possible that it will
happen again" That is, any kind of ma
joritie' are likely to be bulldozed.
Maysville Bulletin.l
Hayes has been thimblerigged into Mr.,
| Tilden's place, but he has sense enough t'
know that he will not be permitted 60 carry
out any policy save that which Mr.. Tilder
was elected to represent and execute.
Chicago Tines
| Mr. Hayes btterest opponents nov are OF
! his own party, and are, Tor the most part
persons to whom he owe. his position.
Omaha IIerald.l
Forgetting all else till the day of judy
ment comes that shall cause it to rem en- Der
and redress all that it chooses now to for,
! get, the Democratic party in every State
| city and hamlet throughout this broal
| Union will rejoice in the deliverance of tho
| South from the wretched thralldom under
| which not only the South, but the whole
| country has been well-nigh destroyed.
| Cor. Philadelphia Times CInd j
| There is firm belief among Democrats
| that Secretary Sherman is in entire sympa-
| thy with the radical Republicans, and will
! seize upon the first signs of faltering pur-
| pose on the part of Mr.. Hayes to turn it into
a practical subversion OF the Cancellation
policy.
Memphis Appeal
The creatures who have sold them selves
will hide their dishonored heads when, in
future elections, they see South solid for
integrity, for patriotism solid in rcpudia-
ting fraudulent President, and solid in
uniting with the noble men ofthe North on
the basis of the Constitution, the rights OF
| the States, the liberty of the people, and
for that peace and reconciliation which the
Democratic party can alone give to the
country.
Baltimore GaZette.l
The Southern leaders are neither knaves.
ingrates nor fools, and the plan OF building
up Hayes p arty in the South will result
in nothing.
