The True Way.

The idea that any Democrat is to join
the Radical party and give in his adhe-:
sion to the incoming Administration of
Dir. Hayes on account of the unfortunate
turn of the Presidential election, is
founded neither in common sense nor
patriotism. He may not approve the
course of leaders of his party in the High
Commission affair, but it does not logical
ly follow that he is to hasten to the en-
braces of Edmunds, Boutwell, and other
prominent Republicans, who originated
and were active in adopting the
measure, and turned it to partisan use in
eIeyatlng usdrper to the Presidency.
La the whole proceeding, and in the gross
imposture that was practiced by the Re
publican schemers, and the readiness of
their chief to profit by the trick and to
accept the Presidency, knowing that he
is not entitled to the Office and that his
| acceptance Of it under the circumstances
is blow aimed at the vitaIs of popular
government, there is additional ground
Tor opposition to the Republican party.
Nor is the Northern Democracy to be
held exclusively responsible for the loss
Of the victory 1t was decided by a
| Democratic caucus that the High Com
mission scheme should not be party test
/ If it found Democratic advocates in the
North, it received Democratic support
no less jealous from the South. 1t was
advocated on the one hand and opposed
on the other, without reference TO geo
graphical divisions or party lines, and
the attempt to make the Democratic
leaders of any particular section respon-
sible for the blunder and the fatal conse-
quences, is an injustice which would be
paralleled only by the folly of making il
pretext of rushing to the support OF
Hayes, who will take the place that was
won by fraud after it had been lost in a
fair and open contest at the polls
There is but one course consistent with
duty and safety. 1t is to stand by the
principles and the organization of the
Democratic party until the wrong'i:
righted

Nh. REDFIELD, of the Cincinnati
Commercial, the ablest and the most i'm
partial of all the prominent Republican
newspaper correspondents, made a note
of the testimony of Hon. Duncan F.
Kenner, of Louisiana, pending the in
quiry as to the election in that State,
which it is not too late to insert in our
columns as a matter of history. He says
of this witness that Mr.. Kenner is not a
Littlefeld or Maddox, but an old,
wealthy and respectable citizen, whose
manner was such as to convince any i'm
partial man of the truth Of his testi-
mony. Two days after the count had
been completed, Mr.. kenner met Wells
and expressed his establishment that so
many thousands of Democratic votes
were thrown out. Wells replied, ooh,
you didn't have any money! Kenner
then asked if he got any for counting in
the Republicans. Wells made an eva
sive answer, saying: "You better believe
/ did," No wonder Mr.. RedReld ex-
claims, "Wretched State, unhappy peo-
pie, alarming situation Why should it
exist Is there not craftsmanship, or, at
least, common sense enough in this Re
public to solve the problem and give
Louisiana peace?"
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1877-03-07

Pending the electoral count, Mr. Hayes
wrote to Hon. Charles Foster to assure
the Southern Representatives that there
should be a complete change" in the
policy Of the Administration towards the
Southern States and the following are
the conditions of the treaty which was
made between President Grant and the
Louisiana delegation
The conditions OF the treaty are stated to
be Is follows: The orders of the President
10 Gen. Augur are 10 be rescinded. and the
Democrats are To take possession of the
STATE House with all tire departments of the
State government. so that HAYES, on his in
auguration. viii find Nichols government
de fdct0. In return tire Democrats are 10
give the Republicans the lougterm United
States Senator, guarantee immunity for all
past political acts, secure the colOred people
in their equ Il rights before the law and pro-
tee. all ciLIZens from violence or interior
ence with their political opinions or aftilia-
tons
If these conditions are carried out by
the Lew Administration, We will have
peace in the disturbed States; but are by
no means certain they will be. Our
confidence in Republican promises is Of
slow growth.

Not SO Handsome. BUT More Sen.
@ibIe.

The filibustering tactics which more
than half the Democrats in (the lower
branch of Congress resorted to, to de-
feat the count under the electoral law
after it had been commenced, was an
admission of the error of their first mis-
step and an attempt to retrace it. Their
efforts were well meant, but the majority,
by their departure from the constitution
al method, had become utterly divided,
and there was no escape from the trap
into which they had entered. They are
like the lad who had been kicked in the
face by mule whose intimate acquain-
lance he had cultivated, he was not so
good looking, but with more common
sense.

We see by the Hazlehurst (Miss.) Co.

bought of A. r. Granberry-the trade
being effected by COL Hllyard, who
some time ago honored US with a visit.
The editor of the Copiahan extends to
Mr.. Brainard hearty welcome, and
