Song is the tongue through which the
emotions especially speak. A dry soul
seldom sings and when an occasional
song breaks forth, it is evidence that
one of heavens dew-drops has fallen up
on it, moistenirg it a little. The voice
of religion is voice ofsong. Both the
heathen's God and the Christians God
are praised in song. There is at least
this unity in pagan and the Christian
service. When and where men first be-
gan to sing in poetic measure, is moi
known. Songs whose echoes have not
reached US, rang through the infant
world. The beginning lies far back be-
yond the lines Of historic period

A Bargain which Made Hayes President.

II Is now established by unquestioncd owl
tlence that the final completion Of the elcc-
toral count and the declaration by Congress
of the result determined by the Electoral
Commission. was accomplished through II
bargain made between CHARLES FOSTER and
STANLEY MATTHEWS of Ohio as representa-
tvcs OF Mr.. HAYES, and a number of South
ern Democrats. The conditions of this bar
gain were an agreement on the part Of the
Democrats that there should be no illibus-
tering in the House of Representatives,
such as was then threatened, to prevent
.i,v v....el..-i--- A. -i--t-.~i aa.,... g
aud that tho declaration that HAvnp
was elected should not be intcrfnrcd with.
The matter was in the power Of the Demo-
Gratis Of the House, and If these Southern
men had been willing to allow such nlibus-
tering. HAYES could not have been declared
elected, and could not have gained possess
sion Of the Government; and thus the whole
Republican conspiracy would have como to
naught, with all that had been done in South
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, and in Wash
ington. The managers Of HAYES had no
choice but to agree to the demands of those
who had the power to keep him out Of the
White House; and what they agreed TO on
their part was simply that, as soon as
HAYES was installed. the troops Of the
United States should be Withdrawn from
South Carolina and Louisiana, and that the
Democratic Governments Of those States
should be allowed to establish themselves
without further interference Of Federal
power. Finally. before the bargain was
fully concluded, tho agents Of Col. Ton
AZ .ln t..f i,.,
Mr.. HAYES should also encourage and APP
Prov the building Of the southern Pacific
Railroad, by means either Of Government
subsidies or loan Of the Government
credit.
The compact entered into by the contract
Ing parties may, accordingly, bc succinctly
stated asfollows:
l. The southern Democrats agree not t.
filibuster aor to allow fihbu-tering i'm tho
House OF Representatives for the purpose Of
preventing the conclusion II the electoral
count.
Ill. In consideration of this agreement on
the part Of tie Southern Democrats, the
friends and representatives Of Mr. HAYES
agree that when HAYES Is inaugurated as
President, he shall at once withdraw the
troops of the United - ates from South Caro-
lima and louisiana anil shall cause all in
reference OF Federal authority with the
Governments Of those TWO state, TO cease al
once and permanently; and they also agree
That MIR. HAYES shall encourage and APP
prove the project OF completing a southern
railroad to the Pacific by means Of loan of
the credit Of the United states or otherwise.
such was the bargain by mems Of which
M. HAYES was finally declared to bee elected
President Of the United states; and without
such bargain he could Dot have been de-
olarcd elected. II was finally thing of
trade, as it was throughout thing Of fraud.
