TIE SOUTH AND Mr.. HAYES

Now that MIR. Hayes is the recognized
head of the Government, We deprecate
avowed hostility. towards his ADMINISTERS
tion before it has had time to develop the
goodwill that seasoned his inaugural ut
teranes. lie is exhibiting a deternina-
ton 10 ignore the extreme counsela of
Morton and Elaine, and in this direction
he should be sustained by all conserve
siveS Of the South. As section we can
not afford to erect an iron-o.ad, Chinese
wall of embitt0, ed partisanry and refuse
so receive friendly gifts unless Profered
by Democratic hands. To the extent
thas Mr.. Hayes turns deaf ear to the
insidious teachings Of ULTRA Republican
ism and undertakes to establish and pre-
serve local selfgovernmont thr, ughout
our section, be shouH receive in return
the cordial cooperation Of all good citi
ssns- BY pursuing such a course we
lose nothing, but gain much. Some fire.
eating Southern journals urge in advance
that MIR Hayes pronounced pacific
policy should be spurned and that at
every step of his administration he
should be confronted with a solid Demo
cratic opposition. This is unwise as it
will prove to be suicidal to the present
and prospective interests of our people
We favor permitting him to do us all the
good in his power. Sustain him in all
constitutional measures and hold up his
hands in combating the malicious hates
of the Blaine Cameron school of Repub-
lican politicians.
But, in the event Of his yielding to the
pressure of the Radical leaders, then
we should fight him and his policy all
through his term and be prepared four
years hence to overwhelm his party by
such a stunning defeat that it will be
beyond the resurrecting reach Of frRudu-
lent returning boards.
Bat now, as far as the lamp of duty
tights up our present path, we are clearly
warranted in giving Mr.. Hayes the bene-
At Of our good will and bidding hin
royal success in perfecting q 81 rjial int IL
staBe fraternity. We are no gall>bitter,
blood and thunder partisans. While we
ardently adhere to Democratic theories
and cherish them as an inheritance of
priceless value, yet our amor patriCs
tsaches no less worthy and honorable
doctrine that when hitherto untractablo
enemy brings goodly presents and lays
them at our feet, We should not sPurn
she gifts but accept them and respect
the giver.

.. n. REY

The fact that this G. ntlemsn has &C
erpted preferred position in the Cabinet
of Mr.. Hayes has caused some Demo-
cratic Journals to pozr Walls of wrath
upon his head. We teii thess Radical De-
anOOratic sheets sAas they arc not warri z
upon D. VI Key alone, but upon a prin-
eiple represented by him in his accept
anee. Opposition to him on the part OF
s'oStAern Democrats will be notice to
hr. Hayes that our people despise his
Pacifs oEerturss and that we had rather
bear his enmity than have his friendship.
II Mr.. Key can be instrums entail through
his personal inausncs in the Prssiden-
tial council in bridging the yawning
shasm of disintegrsting secsionalism, he
will be entitled to the lasting gratitude
Of the American people for restoring &c
she country the long lost element ia the
autonomy Of our Federal compact We
accept his Cabinet appointment as an
omen Of peace AID prosperity for the
future.

Value Of Character.
BY DAVID WARD WOOD,

Character is fo.tune. it pays bet
ter divid, I'd than bark o. railroad
stocks Tho young nan no goes forth
in the world with an unlmpeI ;hao!e
character can never Eufer permanent
defeat. The blows which he receives
from his antagonists will hound hack
from such a character, aud all the injury
they inEict will be upon him who gives
them. In every emergency 1t Is the man
of character who Is sought. These
lacking this beautiful jewel may for
time crowd themselves forward, and 80
long as nothing Of Importance is at
stake, be permitted to enjoy prominence
in state and social affairs; but when the
crisis comes, whsn goVernmen t is threat
ened, when society is menaced, when It
is scrutinized, and only he whose char
Geter is spotess, is selected 10 lead. At
such times brilliant regulations fade es
the meteor fades, and their possess0rs
fnd that reputation is one thing and
character quite another They then re-
gret that this important difference had
not been thought Of before But the
world seems to learn little from these
lessons which individuals so often learn
under severe circumstances
Another snost important thing to re-
member is that character once loss, Il
gene forever A shattered character
may be retrieved in part, but can never
be restored to IT'S original strength and
perfection However uprightiy man
who has been reckless Of the purity of
bi- character may live alter reformation,
the world, While it NAV treat bin klndlF.
and even honor him to some extens, will
regard him with certain degree Of sus-
picion and fear. Hundreds and thou
sands have foand this TO be true from q
bitter experience, and oceans of seuld-
ing tears have been shed because il is
true.
All this is in the hands and under. cor
trOi Of every Young mao whose charH'-
ter is to-day unbl-m shed. None but
ourselves can injure Is IN this respeos
We can built up our oHn character or
We can tear Il down. and with the PIC
lures Of sad failures 10 life befors u, ia =
thing most in pOrsa Dc for each Of us "a

AMOUNT OF FUNDED INTER

The special committee appointed to
examine and report to the House the
amount of interest upon the bonded debt
of the State, which accrued during the
late war, and which, under the various
funding acts adopted by the previous
Legislatures, was added to the interest
bearing bonded debt of the State, have
reported that it amounts to four million
five hundred thousand dollars. Not one
cent of this amount should be paid by
virtue of the we'll known established
principle which has ruled very generally
in the settlement of all private claims
Similarly circumstanced, tO-wit: that til e
interest accruing during ths period o.
war in a country should not be paid
much less should not be made q part O
the principal amount and likewise beal

The State alone should receive the bene-

of this labor might very safely bo used
