Washington, D. c. March "a, 1877.
Gen. Hayes is making a great mis-
take in regard t" his Southern Com"
mission, whether he wishes in good
faith t" settle the Louisiana troubles,
or desires only to draw ont express
si"ns of confidence and support
throughput the South The mistake
is in not heading the party himself.
He is selecting Il cisillAh t1 lead it,
and invites half a tiSecm other mostly
old civilians to tail on after the lead
er. Now al the troubles in the South
are intimately connected with the war,
and Gen. Hayes and the men he must
urtl with bore honorable part, IN the
war. In a tour through the South
Hayes would mest thousands Of men
who respect him for his manly part
in taking the field instead of remain
ing at home, like Wheeler, H"ar and
others, and melting neiyhb"rs to go.
lie could most successfully deal with
these OLD opponents if he should meet
them in person. He has the great
opportunity that Grant had, but did
not use Even if he srlf>h|y wishes
onl! to develop Amy latent Southern
enthusiasm over his "pol'cy' he can
most etftctually 4" so by going among
the Southern people.
But, more than all this, there is an
masquerade objection to y hre'ers
going to Louisiana. H. has been
there: The present troubles are
traceable to the 'compr"misc" he ar
5 ranged on his former visit. HE is
Vice President because of that com
! promise. His elevation is the price
t that the people of Louisiana paid fol
that visit Let him stay away. /!
