1t is reported from Washington that an
ukase will issue, it not already done, directing
Mr.. Barry, who succeeded Richards as keVe-
nue. Collector al Petersburg, 10 this State, TO
retain in Office the appolnees oi the latter.
Barry was appointed, it was understood, 10
conformity with the pronounced Southern civil
policy Of the President. that, "othcr things be
inr caual," republicans. if such could be found,
to the mannor born, should have preiermcnt, IN
the appointments to Office, over carpet baggcrs.
Now should the mandate referred 10 be eXee'lt

the "policy" but with oft repeated promises
and assurances. Relief from carpet bag rule
Is what the South has necessarily prayed Tor

Mr. Hayes seemed to heed the prayers oil ITS
people and extend to them helping hand 10
the hour Of their need. that they werc willing
to overlook the means by which he had acquired
the mower, aud 'praise the bridge that had
opened a way Tor their delverauce from an IN
cubus under which they had 80 long suffered.
If, however the pruning is only TO be partial,
and few Of the main branches Topped oil,
while the scions remain to grow and fatten upon
the depleted resources Of a country already in
poverished iu sustaining them, then, indeed,
has the faith Of the people been in vain, and
instead Of commentator the President can
only expect condemnation.

with surprise, that MIR. Platte, whose very name
is 30 olious to the people OF this State, and
whose career 10 Virginia was fifty terminated
by his compulsory and ignominous with

have made the name Of "Republican" 10 the
South Synonymous with all that is corrupt, base

That the President should for moment listen
to the counsels OF such men, whose characters
can hardly be unknown to him, is remarkable.
and that he should, by needing their advice,
prefer the odium rather than the good opinion
of brave and generous people, is beyond

Senator Copkling sailed from New York fol

under a severe attack Of disgust at tho present
leaders of his party for some timo past, but we
DONE think it will terminate in liberalism the
golden opportunity for that was during the ses-
sion of the electoral commission, and as he did
not avail himself OF it then when the change
IN all probability, would have secured him the
conservative nomination for the next Presidency,
we don't think he will make it now, when the
probabilities of personal advantages to result
therefrom have diminished so considerably as
to be almost out Of the range Of contingencies,
and when possibly the only accruing benefit will
be to the country at large.
